Apocalypse Now-ish
A X/1999 vignette
Sephy

This is his apocalypse.

Subaru knows it because he can feel his foundations shake, the stones on which he built his life crumbling as lips softly touch his throat, his jaw. He closes his eyes, shuddering as another tremor unmakes him. The skin beneath his is burning soft, but somehow solid, enduring as the bones of the earth. Real and not some lucid hallucination, not the spicy, smoky cologne of a lingering ghost. This is more immediate, scorching away at the rot underneath the exterior until nothing is left.

When Kamui pulls him closer, Subaru can feel the world end.

***End
