'It breaks me to see you like this, melting, to not be stagnant.'
He brushes over the silvery wings, now tattered and molten, tearing apart. He tightens his grasp, desperate to keep his fae with him, closer to him, next to him. To feel anything of his fae.
though they fall, their currently droopiness making them slowly gliding through his hold, like water, in constant movement. He, who eventually noticed the losing grip, lets his knees drop, to keep them together, to keep him intact.
"Don't leave.."
He murmurs to a seemingly inanimate being. They but keep quiet, his words having been lost to the despair he was feeling. His partner was trying so much to keep him together, while he was tearing apart.
But he never once forced him together, he gently kept him in his embrace, only but helping him keeping himself intact. So he hates that he cannot keep himself together, he failed his duties and his partner now too.
But..no. he has not changed his body to fall in such disgrace, especially not when he one who cares the most, would be forced to witness it. For he doesn't want to make his partner suffer, it makes him bitter and only hardens his resolve to get back together.
"but your not complete anymore, how could you ever stay?"
He slowly brushes the spreading ooze together, realizing the heavy lack of it. Theres only enough for them to bring back their armor and wings, but its entirety has been evaporated or split off. He grits his teeth, digging his palm deeper and deeper, blinking back tears bitterly.
"Do I have to let you go, my love?"
He gives a hushed whisper, gazing upon the floor, feeling his blinked back tears collecting together. For he doesn't want to let his fae go, his partner, the love of his life. As such his tears stream, in anger, in sadness, in frustration.
His mourning stopped him from noticing the ooze slowly sliding into his direction, for even if his hope might have been lacking, the other wanted to ensure his survival, to not dissapoint anyone.
'Let me embrace you, you and your hurt heart.'
He traces from his knees, to the back, only letting himself rest when he reached his partners gem. The other slowly felt the wet sensation he feels on most of his body.
"Huh.. M-Mercurial..?!"
He stammers , feeling himself grow hot. Was it embarrassment?, Something else entirely..? He couldn't be bothered to confirm anything around his body. He just brings his arm up, grazing the gem on his forehead above.
It doesn't feel any different to the way it did before, though the usual warming feeling, sense of constant movement, was now laced with a heavier feeling of responsiblity, making the feeling colder than usual.
He smiles though, he enjoys the simply presence of his fae.. His eyes widen upon the realization, before letting his arm trail to his back.
'Ah.. how cute.'
his hand touches the metallic wings of his partner, now attached his his own body, smiling to himself.
"You are now part of me.."
he whispers to seemingly nobody. But then, he shakes his head.
"No.. I am a part of you.." he hums to himself.
"We are one."
