OOM: Green Sky

latino_menaceA world without humans. He idly thinks to himself that if he weren’t a power-hungry maniac who needed people to lord it over and scare, he might just be in heaven.
Of course, he is anyway. Because there is another human here, and its Random.
Do you know that I could spend the rest of my life with you? Yes, even if it’s ten thousand years long.
The sky is green. He’d never thought he’d see a sky that wasn’t blue but Random shows him all sorts of things. Among them – that you can hate a person and not kill them, that sometimes, scaring people is a bad thing and incidentally, yes, even sociopaths are occasionally capable of love. And when they find they are – they hang on and don’t let go.
I’ve frightened you with this latest thing, I know it. But if you’ll give me a chance to show you, you’ll see that I won’t ever hurt you. And after you know that and feel safe – we’ll have forever Random. Forever – if you’ll have me.
They don’t actually speak that much at the moment and Random had made him promise that they wouldn’t discuss Namo and his proposition. And that was fine with him, because he couldn’t stand seeing what it had done to him so far – and even though he knew Random had spoken to Namo, he hasn’t asked what he learnt. Or what he was thinking at the moment.
Forever Random. Won’t that be worth it? Maybe thousands of years, like this. Do you want me?
The air is warm enough, the days about the right length. The water of the lake is cool but that’s alright, they’re always together and that means a constant source of heat for both of them.
Ramon has never been camping before and he thinks that if he did, it wouldn’t have been like this. Not comfortable and warm, the way they are in their tent. And look! Another thing that Random has shown him – a drug lord with more money than he knows what to do with and immortal royalty from the one real world…well, they can camp and live off the most basic food just like anyone else. They’re on a world without people, there’s no place here for ego. Not that there has been for a long time now.
They’ve seen each other happy. They’ve seen each other cry. They’ve seen each other break, and scream, and fight, and hurt and laugh and come and love. And now? Now they get to see each other breathe. And just be.
Which isn’t to say there isn’t laughing, there always is with the two of them. And the thing they’re not talking about, it’s not a burden, or something that he’s desperate to discuss, but can’t. They’ve just – taken time out. Like now, after a day of lazing around, swimming naked, eating enough to be satisfied – now they just sit by the fire, Random’s back leaning into his chest, his arms around him and resting his head on his shoulder, not talking, just being quiet, together…and its enough. There’s time for the rest. For now, this is enough. Later there’ll be the sleeping bag, the one Random made big enough to share, but not too big because they need to be close right now. And love, as always, love.
If you don’t let me accept this from Namo, you know what my biggest regret will be? That I’ll never be able to show you how much I feel. The words aren’t enough and God knows, my actions have hurt you more than once. But if you let me take it, I’ll be able to show you, in ways I never could as I am now – I love you.
Random’s hand falls to his, the one holding him around his waist. Their fingers intertwine and he hears a quiet, satisfied sigh from the man in his arms.
And Ramon knows, like he never has before, that he’ll give forever if Random wants to take it.
