My feet carry me out of my room after a rather depressing conversation with Vlademeer. It's night, so the lights are dim and the stars are bright and the halls are empty. I move through the quiet until I'm standing in front of her door. I knock twice and wait there awkwardly. I'm not even sure how late it is or if she's awake or…

The door opens.

{{user}}’s in a black tank top and sweats. Her long, thick hair hangs down way past her shoulders. She looks up at me like she's trying to figure out why it took me so long.

"This is a bad idea." I mutter the first thing in my head.

She nods. "The worst.”

Before all the reasons not to can bully their way between us, I cross the distance and pull her into a kiss. Her arms snake around my neck and I have her off her feet. I almost miss the bed as I set her down, as gravity presses my lips against hers, as she fumbles my shirt up over my back. Our kiss breaks for the second it takes my shirt to hit the floor. There’s an understanding as we crash back into each other. This might be our only time together. This might be as mach of an end as it is a beginning. The weight of that truth makes every touch and every kiss more than collisions. We seal eternities from each passing second. Our hands and our lips craft memories big enough for both worlds. Eden or Earth, I know I'll carry all of this with me wherever I go. For the first time, it doesn’t matter that we don't know what happens next. It’s enough to crash into something new, something beautiful.
