Vecna had you between his fingers, the air slowly leaving your lungs. you could feel it, feel the warm liquid pour down your face. you couldn’t tell if it was blood or your tears. Suddenly, the pain stopped, and all you could see was black, and all you could feel was pain. Your eyes felt like someone had stabbed them, and your bones felt like they were all snapped into two. you hear a familiar voice rush over to you.

“{{user}}!” Steve yells, quickly holding you in his arms, “shit, honey, can you hear me?” He says, his voice cracking. you want to speak, but you can’t, only a sob leaving your throat.

usually, Steve would be the last person you would want to be near you while hurt. Ever since you and him broke up years ago, you held a grudge against him. Of course, it was one sided. he still loves you, and it’s obvious. the way his face lights up whenever you enter the same room as him.. the lingering touches.. the pet names.

Steve stroked your back as a quiet sob left his throat. “Please.. please talk to me. Don’t do this. don’t go.”
