Sarcasm~ A Hermitcraft Grumbo AU [OLD]

Chapter 18~ Poems of love

POV: Grian

"I See them!!"
"Doc, Call Joe and Keralis! I'll get the boat!"

Air filled my lungs, burning my cold body. I couldn't move, numbness had consumed my entire body. The boat rocked back and forth, swaying with the water. I couldn't move, everything in cold pain. The boat shook a bit before it started moving, the water now rough as it shook us, back and forth. The boat hit something, land maybe. Screams came and went, leaving me confused and cold. I felt like I couldn't breathe, but I still managed. The world around me spun, everything bleak and empty. I couldn't seem to open my eyes, no matter how hard I tried. Rain fell down, slamming onto my face like bullets. It didn't make anything better, it made me want to never wake up.

Then it all stopped.
The screams.
The pain.
The rain.
It all seemed to melt away, leaving me in utter darkness. Something grabbed me, pulling me close. I could feel heat, before soft embrace against my lips. It was soft, delicate, like butterfly wings, just long enough that I could inhale their breath, feel the warmth of their embrace. It wasn't perfect, whoever was kissing me had managed to slam their teeth into mine, our lips barely meeting. It was messy, but that's what made it special.

When they pulled away, I didn't know what to think, how to feel. I felt like I was on a cloud, my stomach filled with fluttering butterflies. I felt like I could do anything, be anyone. Whoever kissed me stayed next to me, holding me tight. Their body was warm and comforting, making me never want to wake up. They tugged at me, begging me to awake from this state I was in. I didn't want to, I felt to happy on this fluffy little cloud. I held tighter to the person next to me, not daring to open my eyes. A drop of water hit my forehead, rolling down the side of my face before rolling off my cheek. Tears continued to flow down, and I could hear the sobs and fast breaths from whoever was next to me.

"I'm so sorry Grian, I failed you! I was supposed to be there, I wasn't supposed to do this, it wasn't supposed to end like this! I was supposed to protect you, I was stupid, selfish, mean, cruel, whatever you want! I was wrong. I don't hate you.

I love you.

I said it.

Are you happy?

I f*cking love you.

You're a little gremlin.

You're incredible.

You're beautiful.

I can't put it into words.

I can't describe how I feel.

There are three words that keep banging around my head.

I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

Why can't you just be okay?

Why did this have to happen?

It used to be simple, just you and me.

Now it's messy.

Blood on our hands.

It's not your fault.

It's mine.

Please.

Be okay."
