[A quiet whisper into another kiss, this one holding for longer.]
You always say you need me... But I need you, too.
[There's the slightest tremor in his voice before he can't hold back any longer, his arms tightening around her as he brings her in for a more fervent kiss, similar to the one back in the dream as they floated in the water. Although he doesn't voice it, she might be able to feel it. Hear it in his pounding heartbeat.
So don't leave me.
Don't just disappear.
Not yet.
Not until he's able to share a little more of his life with her. Not until he can live with only her memories. Not unless the reason she's gone is because she's in her world. Safe.
...With someone he can trust to protect her in his place...
Even if the inevitable continues to hurt more the more he loves her, he can at least prepare for that.
But she can't die.
Not in front of him. For as long as she is within his reach he just wants her to live and be happy, her every breath and every beat of her heart filled with warmth and joy, not fear and despair.]
