Our Special Place
"As I seep into the blackest void of all, I'm nothing, I am no one"
The lyrics droned into his ears as he lifts the gun to his head.
"See you soon Carlos."
Thomas walked into the room, and saw the dragon with gun at his head. His eyes went wide as he screamed, Vlad dropped the gun and looked back at the shocked fox.
"What the fuck were you doing? You think Carlos is coming back if you kill yourself. Your brother is dead, and you and I..." Thomas could already feel the tears falling. "We're just going to have to deal with that."
Vlad collapsed into the arms of his brother-in-law,the young drake was shaking, pleading with the fox to forgive him.
"You're all I have left, I can't lose you too." the fox said as he hugged the dragon. Vlad looked up at the fox and saw all the beauty his older brother did. The dragon sat up and softly kissed the fox. Thomas, was confused, he knew he shouldn't be kissing Vlad but it felt right to him. Vlad pushed himself away and walked out of the room.
"Sorry I shouldn't have done that."
Thomas was about to tell him it was alright, but the dragon had already flown away.
Thomas grasped Carlos' paw and he looked into the wolf's eyes. "You can't die on me damn it, I love you, please don't go." Carlos looked up and smiled and patted the pentagram and mouthed three words. Yours in eternity. Thomas sat up in bed and put his head in his paws, he had been watching Carlos die over and over again ever since the wolf died. He picked up the picture of them on their wedding night, they were dancing together in the center of the room, Christine was in the holding on to Damien as the two looked at the happy couple. Finnaly the fox's eyes landed on the dragon landed on the dragon, the stark white suit a bold contrast against his jet-black scales. He sat looking up at the two dancing with a slight smile on his muzzle. Thomas laid the picture down and began to cry, he had tried to hold it back but the thought of his mate just broke him down. He wrapped his tail's around himself and tried to go back to sleep, but sleep evaded him.
The colonel took the dragon's papers and looked up at him."Are you sure you want to do this son?" Vlad nodded and the horse shook his hand. "Thank you for the six years of service Sergeant, you're free to go home. Vlad nodded and walked out the horse's office, officially out of the military. Vlad growled at the stag who kept staring at him. The buck simply smirked and walked over to him.
"So, you're quitting because your brother died doing what he was supposed to?"
Vlad pushed the stag out of the way, ripping the army patch off his uniform. The stag looked at the dragon and smirked.
"It's alright I probably would pussy out too."
Vlad turned back and glared at the cocky buck. "What the fuck did you just say?" The buck laughed started again, "I said it's alright to pussy out, what happen..." The stag didn't finish, Vlad quickly punched him on his snout and walked away as the stag fell to the ground, he opened his wings and took off, going to visit the only place he felt sane anymore. Twenty minutes later Vlad landed at his brothers tombstone, he gently brushed the dirt off and replaced the flowers, he'd been coming to visit everyday for the past month. He sat next to the stone and cried, he missed his brother more than anything, but one thing was bothering him, He couldn't get Thomas off his mind. Vlad got up and pat the headstone. "I miss you so much, I wish you were here, you could help me sort this mess out. If you're up there, or somewhere please, give me a sign. What should I do?" Vlad looked around hoping to see something, but nothing happened, as he was getting up he felt a paw on his shoulder, he turned quickly to see who it was, but nobody was there.
Thomas walked in the house with a sigh. Work had exhuasted him, he walked into the kitchen and looked in the fridge, it was empty. He sighed and picked up the phone, looked like it was gonna be takeout again tonight. A bright light filled the house and thunderboomed outside. Thomas jumped as the thunder shook the house. He walked up to his room and got changed. He rubbed the pentagram and flipped it over and read the inscription. "Yours in eternity," Thomas smiled and looked up into the bedroom mirror and his eyes widened. Standing behind him was Carlos the wolf smiled and walked up to the fox. Thomas remained motionless as tears fell from his eyes. The wolf wrapped his arms around the fox and kissed his neck. Carlos whispered into the fox's ears. "I love you, babe." Thomas closed his eyes and when he opened them the wolf was gone, though he still felt the arms around him. Finally the feeling left and he walked down the stairs. There was a knock at the door and the fox looked back to his bedroom, there was wolf fur, along the floor. when Thomas opened the door there stood the dragon, he was soaking wet, his hair falling into his eyes.
"Hun get inside you're gonna get pneumonia,"
Vlad nodded and walked into the house, he let the fox lead him to the bathroom and dried himself off with a towel. When the dragon was dried the two went into the living room and sat down on a couch. "What were you doing out in this weather?" Vlad looked over at the fox and sighed. "I wanted to ask you to dinner." Thomas looked at the dragon for a long time before getting up and taking his paw, "I would love that." Vlad smiled and got up. "I walked here so we may have to take your car." Thomas giggled and pushed the dragon. Vlad blushed and followed the fox into the garage. As they two got into the small Kia Thomas looked over to the dragon. "Any idea where we're going?" Vlad looked at the fox. "I figured you'd know a place." Thomas smiled and drove off.
It was a quiet drive, with the occasional tail poke by Vlad or Thomas. Thomas stopped the car and the two hopped out Thomas looked over at Vlad and he whispered. "This place was his favorite." Vlad looked the place over, it was a small little peruvian resturant, La Limeña. It looked like nobody was here and Vlad wondered why his brother liked this place so much and then thomas pointed, behind it was the hill his brother escaped to constantly. When the two walked in, a small yellow bird walked over and shook the fox's paw. "Ahh it's so good to see you again, mi amigo, sorry about your loss." Thomas smiled and hugged the avian, "how's business been Raúl?" The bird smiled and told them business had been slow recently. The bird sat the two down and took their orders. Vlad looked at the fox and sighed. "Something strange happened today." Thomas looked up at the dragon and raised his eyebrow. "I was at his grave today, and I felt him." Thomas gasped "Just before you came I was in my room and I saw him, he hugged and told me he loved me, I could feel his breath, his fur," Thomas looked down "his heartbeat." Vlad grabbed the fox's paws. "I know why he fell in love with you, it's beacause of how smart, funny, and how beautiful you are." Thomas looked up at the dragon "Vlad we can't," but the dragon just leaned forward and kissed him.
