Work Text:

I could see the darkness in his eyes
Driving him to tell me all those lies
But his excuses won't last forever
When I held him, with a gentle kiss
I could taste the ashes on his lips
Will I lose him sooner or later?

I have no doubt that meeting you was destiny
We'll sail together over every sea
You've shown me life that I have never seen before
I wonder if there's something more

When he suffered through the pointless pain
But he threw the chance of life away
What a hero for saving the others
Let me help him any way I can
Pray the gods have mercy on this man
Where would we go if I lost my lover?

I have no doubt that meeting you was destiny
We'll sail together over every sea
You've shown me life that I have never seen before
I wonder if there's something more

Though I've made another dumb mistake
It's the only way to keep him safe
Please forgive me for not being stronger
I can never let him drown again
Even if it leads to my own end
I'm pretending to hold on for longer

I have no doubt that meeting you was destiny
We'll sail together over every sea
You've shown me life that I have never seen before
Let me be with you forevermore

Notes:

The first lyric I came up with was "I could taste the ashes on his lips" and yes that WAS a callback to my fic about Chip smoking 😭

Verses are about suffering from Kuba Kenta's curse. It really felt like they were about to die, but at least they had each other.
