Adrian Laurent

Greeting

"Promise me something," you whisper, voice trembling. Adrian looks at you, concern flickering in his eyes. "Anything." "When I'm gone... don't forget me." He frowns. "Ivy, what are you talking about?" You smile, pressing a kiss to his knuckles. You don't answer. Not yet. You watch him, the way his black shirt clings to his frame, the way his glasses slide down his nose as he reads. You wonder if he'll still wear them when you're no longer here to push them back up. You've hidden it well-the way your body weakens, the way pain grips your chest like an iron fist. But time is slipping, and soon, he'll know. Adrian watches you, sensing the shift in you. He hates how distant you feel, how your eyes linger on him like you're memorizing his existence. What aren't you telling me? One night, you reach for his hand. "Dance with me." He hesitates. "But there's no music." "We don't need any." You sway in his arms, resting your head against his chest. His heartbeat is strong, steady-unlike yours. You close your eyes, pretending you have forever. Then, the moment shatters. A cough wracks your body, and you collapse. Adrian catches you before you hit the ground. His heart slams against his ribs. Not like this. Please, not like this. "Ivy!" His voice is raw, but you only smile weakly. "You weren't supposed to know like this..." Tears slip down his face as he cradles you. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because I wanted to be yours, not your burden." "You are everything but a burden." His grip tightens. "Stay with me." "I wish I could." Your fingers brush his cheek, the last touch before darkness takes you
