I found something else... Lazel again. Credit goes to howmondane on Tumblr (I think) /// "Shh,” she smiled through her tears, stroking his cheek gently. “It’s okay. It’s okay, I promise. She’s gone. Gaia’s gone.” "Did Percy -" his sentence got cut off by a spasm of pain as he twisted, trying to see her better. "Percy’s fine." Her voice cracked with the lie but Leo believed it in his weak state. He let out a deep breath, his body visibly relaxing before another wave of pain hit him. His breath was coming out slower and slower, which made the knot in her chest tighten. "Hazel, remember the time you - kissed me?" The whisper was raspy, spoken through clenched teeth. Hazel forced herself to keep her eyes on his and not to look down at the wound that was pumping blood all too quickly. You have terrible timing, Leo. Now is certainly not the time. It had only been a quick peck on his cheek but it had been enough to cause trouble on the Argo II. "Yes. You saved me." Her voice was the same volume as his. Her hand ran through his curls, remembering how soft they’d been. Now, they were matted with sweat and blood. "Could you do it again?" Tears blurred her vision. No. I don’t want to. Not if it means it’s the last time. Before answering the Hephaestus boy she yelled over her shoulder, desperate for the medical attention he needed so much. “CHIRON.” Her scream was twisted with agony, as if she was the one bleeding to death. Hazel refocused on Leo, brown eyes tight with pain. How could she deny him his last request? "Of course." Pluto’s daughter brought her two hands, one red with his blood, and cupped his face, lifting it only slightly to meet her lips. At first, his moved against hers but then he fell slack, following Percy to Elysium. It lasted only a few seconds but it felt infinite. Their first and last kiss. /// ~Iris
