Faeleen dresses as Kir takes his shower. Having already taken one he looks over at the bathroom door and chuckles as he hears the man singing some tune he heard. Looking around he grabs his phone and a few other items as he hears the shower cut off and Kir walks out toweling his hair. "Kir hurry up and get dressed if you want to go out for lunch today," he says as he goes back to checking to see if he had the keys.
As Kir pulls on his pants he looks over, "Where do you want to go today? They have this restaurant down a couple blocks that's new and serves some delicious Venus type cuisine, they say it comes from Ishtar." he finishes pulling on his shirt and turns to Faeleen giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Faeleen thinks it over a bit and nods, "Would be nice I guess something different and I always loved the cooking styles on Venus, we should vacation there again sometime." he suggests as he returns the peck and they make their way out their bedroom and through the living room and out the door. They walk up to the Elevator door and wait as it dings open and step inside. Pressing the button for the 1st floor from the 9th they were on they wait as the door slides close.
After a few seconds Kir nudges him slightly as he points to the number, "We haven't moved yet," he points out and looks over to him.
Giving it a weird look he looks back, "That's not right we should have been descending by now," he says as the power goes out in the elevator. "What in the, what's going on?" he asks almost timidly and backs up and grabs Kir by the arm. Just as he does the elevator shakes and Kir grabs a hold of him.
Looking to the doors he looks to Faeleen, "We need to get out of this elevator whatever is happening we can't stay here the shaking isn't stopping," he says as he lets go and nods to the door. "Let's get it open," they both walk forward and pull on one side of the doors each as they slowly open screeching slightly when another hard shake comes through. Kir jumps out holding the other side and grabs Faeleen nearly yanking him out as the elevator cables above them give an audible snap. Within that second Faeleen gives a look of horror as he is pulled and the elevator no longer support comes falling down.
Kir pulls hard falling back when a sickening sound comes to his ears and he see's Faeleens dark blueish blood flow from the nub that used to be his foot, Faeleen’s face turns to one of pure pain and begins to scream as he grabs at his leg. Kir’s eyes widen and he grabs the man and starts to pull him back to the apartment where he could try and stop the bleeding. Faeleen was in pain and screaming as he was being dragged back to the apartment.
Slamming the door open he drags Faeleen into the room and runs to grab towels and tape. Thinking to himself in a frenzy Kir didn't know how to do something like this he just grabbed everything and began pulling tightly around the nub. Faeleen begins to scream out when the pressure goes around the wound and convulses in agony. "Shh shh Faeleen it's going to be ok it's going to be ok," the man nearly whimpers it out as he bounds the many towels with tape hoping that this would be enough to stop the bleeding till he can get the man to a hospital. Covered in the Faeleens blood he picks up the man and starts toward the door as Faeleen cries out.
Faeleen starts to stop screaming as he is getting used to the pain slowly and he looks up to the man his vision a bit blurry, "Kir..." he trails off as the man shakes his head obviously scared out of his mind. "Don't talk baby don't talk we need to get you to the hospital, we will go to the one near the Traveler we are only about half an hour away so don't worry you will be fine," he tells Faeleen as he descends the stairs determined to get to the car. So caught up in what happened to Faeleen he finally notices it's just not them running out in a panic, but the whole damn building. He runs out into the lobby and looks out over the glass windows behind the desk. Ships many ships were invading earth. The man’s jaw drops slightly and he runs for the car outside not wanting to waste time. Setting Faeleen down the man in the passenger seat, half out of it from losing blood, he grips onto Kir as he slipped into the driver seat.
Faeleen looks over at him and smiles, "I will be safe with you around," he mutters out but Kir knew exactly what he said over the din of explosives. Determined he grabs the keys out of Faeleens pocket and starts the car and floors it down the road out of the city and towards the Traveler. He knew the fallen wouldn't go near him because of the light he exuded so he aims for that destination.
He notices other people on the road now as he gets closer, he keeps rubbing his husbands arm keeping him awake, "We are almost there just outside the walls of the city, we will make it don't worry," he smiles over at Faeleen. They come to a standstill not far from the walls at all, many other people are moving into the city and things are going slowly.
Faeleen looks over at Kir who still rubbed his arm, "Kir.." he manages to get out but he seems to not be able to move very much his whole body feels heavy and his words slurred. Weird he thinks he didn't drink anything today furrowing his eyebrows a bit.
Looking over at Faeleen he sees him trying to move, "No no baby don't move we will be inside the walls soon and to the hospital you will be just fine, just fine baby." he forcibly smiles not knowing if they would make it anymore to save him. Looking up Kir's smile falters and he looks slowly back to Faeleen. "Faeleen you know I will always love you no matter what happens right?" he watches as Faeleen nods his head slightly and looks to him a smile on his face. "I love you as well," he barely got the words out but Kir heard them. Pulling Faeleen up into a hug he kisses the man as they close their eyes tears fall from Kir's eyes as he keeps them closed.
Seconds later the blast of the bomb he saw just moments before reach their car.
Looking up at the images of space, Envy cries silently behind his helmet. Finally able to mourn the lover who sought nothing but to help him and to love him in the last moments. Looking back to Angel and Demon they finally stopped chatting and was making their way over. "Kir, I will make sure to never forget you again." the Hunter says to himself quietly as he stands and strides to the two, giving one last glance to the dead.
