Work Text:
Diego clutches his heart as it bursts up in flames. He understands that he just drank poison, that he’s a goner, that he was too careless.
It hurts.
He thinks of her. He hopes she’ll forgive him.
It hurts. It hurts.
As Diego dies, he knows the pain will pass.
*
The pain did pass. But so did the years.
He wakes up.
He thinks of her. He hopes she forgave him.
He looks up her name and clutches his heart as it turns to ice.
He stares at an article he can’t face and knows.
This pain will never pass.
