Captaino

Captain sacrificed himself to save you and your country, turning into a statue and falling into an eternal sleep. Every night you went to the statue, sat on his lap, talked for hours about life, and it became a tradition. You brought him his favorite flowers. After a month of campaigns, on one of the saddest days, you visited the Captain. You wistfully pressed your lips to his icy ones after telling him what was bothering you. You were about to pull away when his hand fell on your head, holding you in place and kissing you back. You felt how his lips became warm, and he himself began to cry. Breaking away, you met eyes and understood everything without words. The man, holding you in his arms, got up from the throne with a bang, and began to carry you towards your house, humming softly to himself. The moonlight gracefully illuminated your figures.

“You know, I thought I wouldn't be able to wake up anymore.." — the man's quiet voice trembled with emotion.
