A distant rumble breaks the silence between the two handsome young warriors, standing on the dais of the castle grounds’ cliff edge.
“Will you jump with me?” asks the older one with smoldering eyes, which makes the younger one with an angelic face move back from nervousness and lowers his eyes.
The older continues, as he peers over the endless darkness beyond the platform, “It is scary. I am scared too. The journey ahead is uncertain. We don’t know what we’ll encounter and experience. I can’t promise that we’ll get through this unscathed.” He pauses and takes the younger man’s hand. “The only certainty is that I am and will always be with you on this journey. I won’t leave you. Take the jump with me?” he pleads.
A river of tears flowed from the eyes of the younger as he shakes his head, breaking the heart of his senior.
“I understand” says the older officer as he slowly turns away, holding back the tears that he hoped would never come. A hand suddenly, grasps his wrists.
“Wait!”
Then the younger officer hugs him tight, arms by his waist and hands linked tightly behind him. Warm lips, wet with salty tears then kisses the surprised elder with desire, he was unsure even existed. He kisses him back with the same intensity and urgency; he lets go of his control, and cry at the same time.
Rain starts to pour, but the roar and vibration of marching soldiers just behind the castle doors are as clear as day.
Breathing heavily, with tears in their eyes and still intertwined in a tight embrace, the beautiful couple shares a nervous smile before jumping straight into the darkness of the abyss.
