Instead of answering, he pulled Rose closer and guided her into a gentle turn. She held onto him and swayed around him flawlessly, her feet light on the crumbling ground.
It didn’t matter.
Her face was veiled by a thin sheen of soot, her eyes were striking and beautiful. Both his shades and his lips were cracked. Around them Earth was burning down.
Their only rhythm was the raging fire; their only beat was the one in their hearts. The heat of the burning meteors was constricting, and had them fighting for every breath they took.
Dave was certain there was something ironic about this, as her hand moved loosely in his while she spun.
“Dave?” “sup” “Are you scared?” “im fucking terrified”
Rose made a sound akin to a giggle, to mask a choked sob. Both of them didn’t miss a single step as they maneuvered their way around the flames and ruins.
“One would think that after the green sun, nothing would be able to phase us.” “we werent chestnuts roasting on an open fire then” He grinned at her; she couldn’t help herself and smiled back.
“Do you..” She started, but she inhaled too much smoke and had to cough before she could continue. Dave waited patiently as the two made another turn. “Do you have any regrets?”
“no”
There wasn’t a second that passed between her question and his answer.
“what about you”
Her grip on him grew the smallest bit stronger and she shook her head.
“None whatsoever.”
Dave pulled Rose in closer. She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her watering eyes. He sang to her in whispers.
In the midst of complete and total chaos, they shared a moment of peace. Nowhere to go, no one to chase them through time and space. No friends to protect, guardians to lose or demons to kill. It was just them.

“Does it really matter.”
