Violet slides down into the deep ditch and touches his shoulder as she kneels by him. "Ben? Benjamin? It's alright."
He gives off some steam from his heat and they sit in a heat wave. Her hand burns on his shoulder and she removes it only to take his hand. "Hey, hey. It's alright."
He looks up to her and sets down the phone shakily. "I- I-" He stops to inhale sharply and cough a few times. More tears streak down his face and he rubs at his eyes, "It- it burns."
she lovingly puts her hand on his cheek, wiping at the hot tears. "I know Love, I know. Let's cool off. It'll be alright. Do you feel the rain? It's very chilly."
He closes his eyes tightly, trying to focus on the cold rain as she removes his jacket.
"And the air is so fresh and freezing. Do you know what the temperature is out here? It's 30 Fahrenheit."
It burns. It burns.
He nods, and she pulls a handkerchief out of her purse and wipes the blood off of his lips. "I know it hurts, but don't create more pain to distract yourself, Love. Please don't."
He opens his eyes and looks up, catching himself staring into her creamy brown eyes.
The heat wave starts to clear and so does the steam, but his skin is still hot to the touch. She squeezes his hand. "We're alright, see?"
He takes a deep, shaky breath, "Ты такая красивая. Если бы я мог жить нормальной жизнью, я бы попросил вас жить со мной. Violet…"
She had no idea what he'd said, but maybe he wanted it that way. A small smile crosses her face. "Я люблю тебя." She states, tripping over the second word's pronunciation a little.
He lets out a small, relieved huff and his eyes start to tear up again. Nice, cold tears.
Violet leans forward a bit and despite the pouring, cold rain and his hot skin, she gives him a small kiss.
