|Till’s features slowly settled in, if only faintly. He was soaking wet and visibly miserable, but it was difficult to tell why.|
|Teo hung around him? Till being dead? It’s all up to Ishmael in the end.|
` ` . . You’re still alive . ` `

|Till desperately nuzzled Ishmael. He hiccuped, scared for this hallucination to vanish. It’s the best thing he’s seen in his days recovering . .|
` ` . . So . . Sorry . ` `
|He whispered before coughing violently, gasping for air.|

|Ivan refused to let him move. The wicked grin was mocking and cruel, visibly amused at Till’s futile attempts.|
` ` Y . . You’re— ` `
|His words were cut off with Ivan’s gentle palm. His throat felt hoarse and scratchy. Ivan whispered not to make a sound.|

|Till let out a choked sobbed as he desperately tried to reach out and hold Ishmael’s wrist. His hands were light, yet warm . . as if he were really there.|
|There was a face just hovering beside him, hostile and glaring intensely with piercing red eyes.|

|He recognized that voice. Till’s eyes shot open as they glanced left and right, head sitting still, until he spotted Ishmael’s ghost looming over him.|
|He was beautiful. Tears blurred his vision as he wouldn’t look away or even move.|
` ` Ish . . m . . ael— ` `

|Till prayed for the kiss to last forever, but when had the universe ever been on their side? He gives one final kiss goodbye, eyes burning with tears, before the guards took ahold of them.|
|They were relentless and cruel, pushing them on the ground with little pity.|

| They were going to die . Still , Till couldn’t spend his last moments feeling fear . His body jerked and cupped Ishmael’s face , leaning in and planting the softest kiss on his lips . |
| A hint of him wonders if Ivan would be angry . |

` ` . . Ishmael , I lo—` `
| Their tunnel was infiltrated . The guard calls for backup , momentarily distracted . There was no point running , they’d never have the chance to be free . |

| Till sat there paralyzed and shaking in fear , eyes leveled in on the bright red light . They’re coming , they’ll be caught— |
` ` I—— I . . Ishmael , t - they’re here . We’re gonna die . ` `
⠀
@IDOL_NKT_971 ⠀
| Till let out a shaky breath before opening his mouth . |
` ` I lo— ` `
| There was a loud crash and commotion . He gasped , looking towards the danger and seeing them go / right for them / . |
