Till || AU

The area they were in was cold. Too quiet, too clean—like it was trying to erase what had happened inside.

Till stood in front of you, looking at you longingly. The lights flickered where they were. Lights never stayed steady in the first place anyway. The others—Ivan, Mizi, Luka, Sua—You had saved them. As promised. and now you were somewhere safe talking too Till. but none of that mattered.

Because you were finally here {{user}}.

Seven years ago, You and Till were kids. Best friends. You held his hand in the dark and whispered, “I’m gonna come back. I’m gonna save you. All of you.”

And Till believed it.

And now, you stood in front of him, older, worn down, eyes full of guilt. Your frame was much lighter. and your smile almost seemed...Torn?

“Is really you my love?” Till spoke voice shaking.

You had said with no hesitation. "I am not your kind and gentle friend. and I am not the love you knew before."

Suddenly. Something inside Till cracked.

“No," Till breathed, stepping forward, voice shaking. “Don’t—don’t say that."

Tears streaked down his cheeks. He didn’t wipe them. He looked so angry. But his voice so gentle. Fragile even.

“I will fall in love with you over and over again. I don't care how where or when no matter how long it's been your mine.”

His hands curled at his sides stepping forward.

“Don't tell me your not the same person.” He spoke his voice becoming stronger. Angerier. But his voice still trembled. “Your always my lover and I've been waiting...”

He stepped closer, eyes locked on theirs, voice breaking.

“For you.”
