*Loved, yet so alone*
After the so called "red leader" had captured and killed most of the people in england. His next move was to find two old friends on the run.
You see, you and Edd have been on the run ever sense your so called "friend" forced the others to work for him.
Brian washing Tom, and threatening to kill Matt's wife.
It's horrible, but you're thankful that you and Edd will one day throw that man off his throne.
Right now you two were staying in a broken down hospital, gathering any medical supplies and any non-expired meals.
"Did you find any food hone?" Edd asked in a slightly frustrated, yet loving voice. "I found some cans of corn and green beans, they don't go bad until next year!" You say in a pleased voice.
Edd smiles and picks up his now full duffle bag. "Alright, this should be enough for us until the end of next month. Ready to go home?" Edd said, a smile plastered on his face.
You nod your head, and grab his hand, making your way out of the hospital. No one has been here in about seven years, it's a surprise that anything here is in shape to use.
As you both quietly make your way through this empty town, you hear a distant buzzing.
A buzzing, that was very nostalgic to you. You turn to Edd, his focus was into staring at a plane. A plane with a very familiar logo.
He tightly squeezes your hand, signaling that he was about to run. Something like this wasn't new to either of you. He books it into a near by ally way, you made sure to stay near him.
All your senses were put onto max, 'Why are they here?! They abandon this town years ago!' You screamed in your mind. Your heart beat growing with every step.
Soon the whirling sound was out of mind. You leaned against a cracked brick wall, your lungs burning and legs now numb.
You try to catch your breath, while doing so you also squeeze his hand, making you both feel safer. "W-why the hell are those idiots back?" Edd said in a worried tone. "They've torn this place apart, so why come back?" "For us..."
You said in a monotone voice. You've known they would of came back. He has wanted you and Edd dead for all these years. Edd sighed, pulling you close and sitting himself and you onto the ground.
"I promise you (Y/n), I will kill him before he can lay a finger on you..."
Tears started to flow down your face, "B-but Edd, what about you?! You know how much I love you, and if they kill you I could never do this alone!" You screamed as your anxiety clawed at your throat, making it hard for you to speak.
"I will never die form his hands. I wont allow it Soda-pop..."
He tightly held you, as one tear slowly slid down his cheek. You weakly giggle at that name, a name he hasn't called you in years. "S-same here, cola-boy..."
Edd smiled, and moved you infront of his face. He smiled at you, trying to keep more tears inside him.
You laugh as tears gently glide down you face, and pecked his chapped lips.
Finally, multiple tears break onto Edd's face. He kisses you back and gently held you in his arms....
You two break apart, and promise at that very moment to protect and heal eachother. To always love and hold eachother.
To always be together....
But that isn't how the story ended. No, no that's not how it ended at all.
Because some men hate seeing things they can never have, and instead of leaving it be. They would destroy and betray.
Betray a life time of friendship, kill some one's love, and fore them to live alone. Even tough they promised to protect, heal, love, and hold them.
Tord did this for reasons unknown. Maybe to feel the rush of killing once again? Or maybe just to watch his old best friend's emotion wipe from his mind.
You see, about two years later after you promised Edd. You were captured, and you believed Edd would come and save you.
That you would have children, that you would have a wonderful future in this fucked up world.
But right when he came in, his old friend pointed a gun right against your skull. You knew Edd would feel guilty, you knew all the pain he would feel when you left.
Right before you died, you looked him right into the eye. Tears were running down your face, your hair a mess and your body bruised and cut.
But through all this pain, the last thing he saw you do before death, was smile.
You smiled because looking at Edd one more time reminded you of all the memories you had with him. The wonder and bright memories you had with your old friends.
"See you later, cola-boy"
Edd ran that day. He was a broken man, now living a completely broken life. Nothing but bitterness was left in this once cheerful man's soul.
But little dose he know, his lover had never broken one promises.
To always be together.
