The End...

It was going to happen again.

.

He was going to be alone…

.

Not wanting to be the one left waiting, he gathered his strength once more and gained some composure. Searching for one man was hard when surrounded by a crowd, but he had to – he needed to.

Spotting a familiar suitcase and carrier bag, he bolted in the direction of the moving figure and yelled out his name, but at this point the other was already stepping outside.

Determined to not give up again the now breathless male inhaled deeply as he finally reached the outside of the building.

.

It was him.

.

He recognised the other figures face, even if he only had a moment of seeing it. A brief second was all he needed to know that it was his other half, be it a full-frontal view or just the side view.

“How could you!?” he cried, knowing well that it would sound quiet, yet loud enough for the other to hear him. It was just them, only the two of them – he was finally within reach; after all these years of not knowing but they still weren’t within arm’s reach.

Before any other words were spoken, the rain grew heavier making all sounds around them and their own voices harder to hear.

Suddenly, a distinct sound of splashing could be heard. Sprinting towards the other, his tears were lost in the rain and soon the lovers collided.

The one who received all the impact held his ground to keep them both from falling to the floor, although at this point it didn’t matter as the rain had them both drenched.

Opening his mouth to tell the sobbing male something – he was instead cut off.

.

“You promised me… You said that we’d run away and finally be together – was it all a lie!?” his voice panted, threatening to break and let out another cry.

.

His hands balled into fists, continuously hitting the other male’s chest as he called the other names that he never imagined he’d use for the man he loved. The man who made his heart weak with a single word or even a simple smile. The man he had been waiting for all this time.

The man who was destined to leave him…
