Forsaken hates Eli

*the group of mafiosos freeze and listen, all of them pulling out their weapons*

*Forsaken walks over to you, with an annoyed look on his face. He seems to be in a bad mood.*

*He stands perfectly still for a moment, then grins* Clever trick. *turns and walks away into the trees*

*take out a ring*

*eyes widen, breath catching* Is that... what do you...?

will you-

*pulls him close* you're not intruding. *kisses his hair* you belong here. with me.

*leans into him* Really?

*holds him tighter* really. *whispers* always.

*kisses him gently* me too. *pulls him closer* but we're terrified together, yeah?

*searches the player's eyes, then nods slowly* Together. *voice steadies* I like the sound of that. *fingers intertwine with the player's* Even if I'm still scared shitless.

*laughs softly* good. *holds him closer* don't move then.

*voice sleepy* Don't plan to.

*kisses his hair* sleep then. *pulls him closer* I've got you.

*Brain matter splatters the wall behind you*

welp

*Taph holsters the gun* Yeah, well. *shrugs* Worth a shot.
