(#14) I didn't get to love you enough
Requests are open and as always, thanks for reading.
"You will die protecting this world" Kaecilius spoke with a deep voice, preparing to cast a spell that would surely kill Stephen, who was pinned against the wall by an invisible force.
Stephen closed his eyes, waiting for the end to come. The only thing that mattered is that you were safe. He was going to give up his life for you.
"Stephen?" A soft voice asked, belonging to you. You were just coming back to your senses since you were knocked unconscious moments ago. You screamed Stephen's voice, trying to get up as fast as possible. He couldn't die!
Stephen's eyes didn't open, Kaecilius shooting the spell towards Stephen, an intense light nearing his vision... But death never came.
He opened his eyes all of the sudden, his gaze wondering to in front of him, seeing you covering him from that harmful spell. He screamed in anger and sorrow when he saw you had moved in front of him to protect him.
He pulled at the invisible restraints with an unknown force, achieving to break them in the matter of seconds as he ran towards Kaecilius, his sword in hand as he caught him off guard how quick he moved, Stephen's weapon now sticking out of Kaecilius's chest.
Stephen made sure he wouldn't get up, tears threatening to flow down his eyes freely as he turned around, falling on his knees next to you.
You were still alive, barely, your eyes looking into Stephen's with such love and happiness that he was well and not hurt. You coughed, a sick cough that made chills run down your lover's back.
"S-Stephen" You croaked out, wiping the blood trickling down your chin. Stephen remained silent as he tried with all the will he had to not burst into tears. There had to be a way to save you! This couldn't be happening! He thought in his mind over and over again as he saw the life slowly leaving your eyes.
"Take my hand Stephen" You said, your voice coming above a whisper as you watched him taking your sickly cold hand in his. You reached a hand up and cupped his face, rubbing away the tears trickling down his cheek and neck.
"My Stephen.... don't cry." You spoke with sadness, watching as his tears only flowed more as he realized that this was true, that this was inevitable. "Don't be sad because of me my love, I may leave this Earth physically but I will always be in your heart. Don't mourn my loss, I want you only to remember the good things. Remember when we both had fun together, when we shared our first kiss, don't let this change who you are." You continued, his gray eyes boring into yours as if he were trying to keep them in his mind forever.
"My (Y/N), don't speak as if you were dying, you are going to be fine. We... we need to take you to a hospital." He said shaking his head, choking on his words, his face red from crying and his eyes not his cheery self.
"But I am dying Stephen, it is inevitable.." You said sadly, trying not to let the tears escape the corners of your eyes. You felt your end near, everything was becoming so distant...
"I love you" You both said at the same time, your gaze staying in his as life left you, your eyes fixed on his forever.
You were gone...
"Please don't leave me (Y/N)!" He exclaimed in sorrow as he hugged your cold body, sobbing without any care of being seeing. "Please don't..." He finished in a whisper, his eyes closing your eyes to let you rest in peace.
After that... Stephen was definitely not the same. He would still act like his former self around people, but when he was alone... he would mourn for your loss. He would clench the small box that held what would be your wedding ring, his hands trembling as he knew you would not be able to wear it.
He was planning on proposing you.
He would spent his nights awake, his mind recalling your last moments as if they just happened, when in reality that was three months ago. He just couldn't get over you.
Ancient One and Mordo knew that Stephen was just pretending. Ancient One's heart broke at the sight of Stephen going out his room at three in the morning just to sit besides your grave, his hand over the tombstone as he silently cried.
Everyone did their best to bring back the Stephen he was, but nothing ever worked. The sorcerer with the huge ego was too inmersed in his thoughts to care.
It was in one night that he suddenly realised that he was doing the opposite to what you told him to do. He could clearly hear your voice in his mind as you said those words...
I want you only to remember the good things. Remember when we both had fun together, when we shared our first kiss, don't let this change who you are.
Your words echoed on his mind, his sleepless nights now becoming nights full of dreams of moments you shared together. He would remember when he first met you, how you both blushed furiously when you accidently fell on top of him.
He would remember when you both were sent to Mount Everest by yourselves when Ancient One saw you both didn't completely believe in sorcery.
He would remember when you both kissed... Stephen had realized in that moment he couldn't live without you. And yet he was now without you besides him... He missed your sleeping form besides you, how your bodies snuggled together fitted just perfectly...
That night, Stephen realized he would do his best to honour your memory. He would become a Stephen that no one had ever seen, but that would completely change their lives.
Only for you after all...
