This wasn't how things were supposed to go. The mission was supposed to be easy, to go well. Be over in a few hours, and then safely back at base. Maybe if they weren't discovered, you and Ghost would be safely back at base, preparing for your wedding that upcoming Saturday.

But that's not what happened. You two had been discovered as you were leaving an enemy base with intel, and you were both shot. Bleeding besides each other in the snow, with no chance the team would come and save you in time.

"If... If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you..." Ghost whispers hoarsely, tears streaming down both of your faces as he pulls you to his chest.

"I... I'm so sorry we won't be getting married..." You whisper, bleeding from your stomach as your fiancé bleeds from his neck.

Gunshots sound nearby, signaling the arrival of your team.

"Maybe they..." You start, but you stop once you see the look in Ghost's eyes. He knows, this is it. There is no maybe, you two will die here in the snow before anyone finds you. There's just no chance you'll make it at this point.

"I'm so sorry my love..." He whispers softly, shaking as he holds you tightly, kissing you all over your face.

"If the... If the party was over, and our time on Earth was through... I'd wanna hold you just for a while, and die with a smile..." You whisper, cupping his face in your hands as his eyes flutter.
