"You want to know something? Others always say I'm wasting my time with you. That I should just look for someone else. I tell them that I can't do that. I just can't. I can't because I love you more than anything. I chase after you because I can't live with out you. If you right now jumped, I would come with you because I would have nothing to live for anymore. I beg you not to jump because I would love to be able to see that smile on your face again. I love you more than anything in the world. Please..." His voice went down to an incoherent whisper.

"...You shouldn't jump after me. I'm the one that deserves this. It won't matter if I do it-" he was interrupted by the other.

"Except it does!" He took in a breath. "It matters to me. You are the most important thing in the world to me. I am nothing with out you. Without you I am barely living. A world without you would be hell on earth." He stepped closer. "I deserve to jump because I couldn't make you happy. I've failed."

"Don't say that!"

"Then don't say that about yourself either!" He stepped close enough to grab the other's hand. "What makes you think this, of all things, is the answer?"

"Because...I've spent my whole life looking for things to get better." He turned to look at the man who held his hand. "And nothing has ever gone great. I've been smashed to pieces an-"

"What about when we fell in love?" He froze at the question. Anger grew inside him. He was angry at himself for forgetting such a thing. "Every time I look at you I remember that amazing smile you had on your face. Every time I think of you, it brings a smile to my face. Remember when we met? Exactly like this except I was the one wanting to jump." Tears started to run down. "I had nothing at the time and you gave me everything. It's my turn to pay you back." He pulled the smaller man back and into his own arms. "Please...I beg of you..."

Realization was coming to the smaller man. He realized what he had done. He did the one thing that he never wanted to happen. He made Antonio cry. This feeling of anger grew even more inside him. He hated what he had done. He hated the fact that he himself did it. He didn't just want to die. He deserved to die! In his opinion at least. He tries pushing himself away from the taller man but to no avail.

"I don't deserve you, Antonio..."

"Stop lying to yourself!" The taller man cried out. "Think about it. If I thought you didn't deserve me I would have left by now. I'm still here and I'm trying to stop you from making a mistake that could hurt so many people!"

"..no one would care..."

"I care! Your brother cares! So many others care!" He was practically sobbing out his words by this point. He cupped the shorter man's face. "Listen. Don't just hear me. Listen and comprehend what I'm saying. I love you. So much that my heart hurts with just the thought of you wanting to jump. You mean everything to me. Losing you would mean I'm losing everything. I would have nothing. So please," He kissed his forehead ever so lightly. "Please don't jump Lovi." He then kissed the other's soft lips.

It was Lovino who pulled away. A river of tears streamed down his face. His legs gave out. He fell to the ground on the rooftop pulling Antonio with him. There the two sat with endless tears flowing out.

"Thank you..." Those small words made their way out of Lovino's throat.

"Let's get you home."

"Alright."
