“Raven,” he yelled from behind me. “There’s nowhere you can run that I will not find you. I will chase you all over this world if I have to.”
I left everything behind, left the world to burn to the fucking ground, just to be with you.
“You could have been a million things. And every time I let myself believe that you were truly who you’d shown yourself to be, my mind would rebel. Because how could you be so perfect in the midst of all this chaos? How could you want me? How could I deserve you?” His hands gripped my waist, and I didn’t not stop him as he lifted me.
“A little closer, Atty. You haven’t quite taken my virginity yet,” Bastian said,
“Come on, you bitch,” Crow yelled, eyes wild as he gripped his wheel for dear life, daring the ocean to break him. “I was born to this sea, and I’ll fucking die by it.” “Remind me again why we picked this guy,” I bellowed into Bastian's ear as the ship came slamming down onto the surface again.
She shuddered. “Boys are gross.” “Men,” Atlas shouted from the shop front. She tossed her hands in the air. “I said what I said.”
“I wonder if there is anything he would not do for you. Your Dark King might be fearful, but he is equally fearless. He sent you to the land with no magic, not to save himself, as he would let everyone believe, but to save you. He feared what the others would do to you should he die. He never planned on joining you. Hadn't even thought about it. He simply accepted his death and cast to protect you.” Her pause was infinite and nothing at all. “He is worthy, if not broken. Though the broken things we keep tend to be the most extraordinary, do they not?”
“You die, I die.” He spoke the words like a promise. The Dark King’s vow to the world that had damned him so long ago. “I will wait for you at the gates to eternity. You live your life and you see this world patched back together.” He grabbed me, pulling me into his arms as he buried his face into the crook of my neck. “This world can fucking burn.”
“Every second of every minute for the rest of forever, and then five minutes more.”
“I love you,” I said, moving to kiss his lips. “More today than yesterday, and even more tomorrow.”
