The area was filled with noise and the flashing lights of an ambulance, a police car and even a fire engine lit up the crowd of people gathered. Everybody loved a spectacle after all. That was human nature. Death was intriguing. And though few chose to take it into their own hands it always got to them in the end.

"Well that was... messy." A tall blond figure spoke, puffing his cheeks out for a moment before he tilted his head to glance up at his companion. "What do you think, Yifan?"

"It doesn't matter." The taller replied, giving the other a pointed look. "What matters is that everything is now in order. And we are not needed to baby-sit any longer."

The shorter pushed his lips forward into a grumpy pout as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I was just asking. And besides... I thought it was fun watching how everything played out."

Yifan let out a long suffering sigh, his shoulders relaxing a fraction as he relented. "It was... entertaining. I will give you that."

This was enough for a bright smile to spring up on the younger's face. "It was. And it all ended right on time too! How's that for good time management?"

The taller rolled his eyes before reaching out and with a large hand, patted the younger's head. "You did well, Zitao. You have learned well."

A proud smile spread across the shorter's face as he all but bounced in happiness. "Thank you. I had a great teacher." He grinned, playfully elbowing the other in the side.

Yifan merely rolled his eyes again before turning on the spot and beginning to walk away. "Come on. it's time to leave."

"Coming!" Zitao called out before quickly following after his taller partner.

Death... it waits for no-one. And nobody can escape it. But the best you can do is live your life happily, unashamed of who you are. Take everything that is thrown at you and twist it into something good. Nobody wants to die with regrets after all.

Life is precious. Make the most of it.
