Eternals

Their joint embrace of happiness could not be broken, much like their relationship. Chilled was taller than Ze sure, but Ze was stronger than him from his intensive training. The sackboy's grip on him though was tight and strong, as if he never wanted to let go of him, believing that he had been so close to losing the only person to ever claim his heart as their own.

Ze had been oblivious to the torturous  nightmares his boyfriend had been having about his worst fear, someone taking him away from Chilled, and in his case, Smarty. Just witnessing his nightmare made anger burn up in him at the well deserved dead traitor. But to know that Ze had let his urges take him over, causing him to push his best friend away... It hurt him and making up to him was the hardest thing he could do. But he needed Chilled. Without him, he was just a monster without any purpose in life.

Chilled had known why he pushed him away but he could never bring himself to question him, in fear that Ze would become angry at him and break up with him. And losing Ze would leave the sackboy with nothing but his own broken heart. He could hold himself back now as he buried his face into Ze's shoulder and cried, letting all his emotions out finally in the presence of his lover. As he did so, he felt the Fourtellta tighten his grip on him in a protective manner but still notably gentle as he knew he was crying too. Silently but still crying.

Ze knew why he loved Chilled. It had been apparent from the moment he had met him back before the Eternals and in the mortal world. He was so lovable and fun. Sure he was a stutter and could come out as shy at times but he also had that side of an Eternal. Once he became one, Ze fell even more in love with him. He may be weaker than the others but he would protect his friends without hesitation. And there was something that he had only showed to Ze. Possessiveness and love.

He remembered his shyness around him and Chilled being oblivious to his emotions until he outright told him. He remembered the shock in his black eyes as he stared at him. He remembered the agonizing silence as he awaited his reaction. He remembered him looking away and tell him those words that had broken his heart. He hadn't rejected him. No, he accepted him and confessed that he loved him too but he had seemed confused, almost torn as to why and how he could love him. "I-I love you t-too Ze. B-But I'm j-just a s-sackb-boy. I-I'm just a r-rej-ect. H-How could you possibly l-love me? I-I don't d-es-serve someo-one like y-you Ze"

He remembered the tears forming in his eyes as he looked away. He remembered acting on instinct as he pulled Chilled into a loving embrace and then proceeded to traditionally meet his eyes and let the connection slip into each other's hearts.

He then remembered a more dark memory of when he had just lost control of his dark side the first time. He had not remembered anything during his rampage but he remembering waking up from a dazed state somewhere in a dark place known as a different dimension that he could only be freed of when he realized his mistake of letting the monster escape and then face up to the damage he had done... before his lover died.

He remembered picking up the broken form of Chilled, him being lighter than him and being not too much of a hassle to carry. He remembered feeling his limp form barely breathing as his open wounds leaked both stuffing and, mostly, blood. He had ignored the blood already on himself  and focused on the condition of the one he loved. He remembered shouting to whatever had forced him into that dimension, saying that he knew what it was. Himself and that he knew what he had done was wrong and that he wanted out. If anything, he hadn't wanted Chilled to die because of him.

Then the flash of light and the blacking out sensation. All the while, he had not let go of Chilled. He just couldn't. He remembered apologizing to him and the gentleness of the sackboy as he knew he had not meant to hurt him. It had warmed his heart and he had let it simply not get to him all to much anymore.

Chilled had felt the same about Ze the moment he met him. He was playful and straight to the point yet also serious, protective and loving. His own Eternalship only seemed to cause his feelings to increase. How though, he didn't know. He never expected it when Ze had took him to the side to tell him the best and most shocking thing in his entire life.

That Ze, his best friend loved him. Him, a rejected, weak, sackboy. That was all he was in his mind yet Ze saw something more. He didn't care that he was a sackboy. He didn't care if he could break with one touch. He loved him and that was all that mattered. He remembered asking him why and not getting the response he expected. Ze had pulled him into a loving embrace and then did the traditional way of looking in his eyes. His eyes were so different from the Ze he had first met but he didn't care. He was still the Ze he knew and loved.

Then when he had become a monster. A very, very painful memory. He remembered the wild look in his lover's eyes as he turned on him ripping him apart and weakening himself in the process. He remembered not fighting against him, not wanting to hurt him. He remembered seeing the stuffing fall out of him but also blood leak out, a lot of blood.

The rest was more of a dazed state as he remembered being at the brink of death the majority of the time. He remembered blacking out and waking half up in a dark dimension which was Ze's monster's mind. He remembered seeing Ze weakly approach him and pick him up, his body limp but the protective and gentle grip of his lover warmed his heart. He half heard what he said that what he was wrong and he only wanted to save him. Then the flash of light and blacked out both he and Ze. But Ze never let go of him, instead, his grip had tightened.

Ze had apologized so many times but each time, he had told him he understood and knew he didn't mean to. The relieved smile on his face as he accepted the facts as they were warmed his own heart just seeing it.

It was all worth it in the end for they were together still, even after what that just happened. He still loved Ze and Ze loved Chilled. All of it had come into place in the end.

Their embrace soon was broken but not out of negative feelings. Ze looked into the black eyes of the shorter sackboy who looked back with slight confusion as to why he had broken the embrace. Then came his shocking response. Ze leaned towards him and gently met his mouth to Chilled's kissing him for a few seconds as he felt Chilled return the kiss out of pure instinct.

"I love you Chilly Willy" Ze smiled softly, speaking in a loving whisper as he pulled back to look back into the sackboy's eyes, using the nickname he loved so much.

'I love you too Z-Ze" Chilled whispered back, a smile of his own creeping up onto his face, stuttering on his lover's name in the way he liked it best.

Pulling him back into a hug, Chilled and Ze sealed their bond even tighter, their souls becoming more intertwined than before.
