---------------

There was no warning. The shots rang out through the cold night and they, even in the tumult could be heard throughout all. The street light flickered and the moon was hidden once again by clouds.

Hey, Matt

A broken bullet riddled body falls, blood flowing freely on the black street, creating dark, sticky spiderwebs where it met the asphalt. Orange goggles laying cracked and broken above matted red hair, stained with blood. Under the street light the shards of orange glowed, forming a halo of gold above him. For even in death he was an angel, an angel with broken, torn bloody wings.

Would you die for me

He had no regrets. He had fulfilled his purpose, never broken his promise. All for him, and if he had had another chance, he wouldn't have traded away the time or changed anything, even knowing his fate. That was just how he worked.

Yes

He just wishes that he could have told him sooner, so they could have spent more moments in bliss. Such a lovely happiness amid his life filled with bloodshed. But even happiness was broken by reality and old rivalries.

Of course I would

On the other side of town the sound carried to the ears of a man, his blond hair hanging messily in front of his almost feminine features, the beauty only broken by a long dark scar covering half of his face. To the outside world his perfect mask not broken as he whispered words of apology to the nothing. But though he tried to keep composer he could not keep the slight trembling out of his voice or stop the hands that were resting on the steering wheel from shaking

Good

Because on the inside he was crying.

I would die for you too.
