46. we are terrible for each other, and, yes, we are a disaster.  but tell me your heart doesn’t race for a hurricane or a burning building.  i’d rather die terrified than live forever. (mistakes aren’t always regrets)

In another life, I would have said no to you.

Rhys thinks about it sometimes; about a Rhys who doesn’t stand at Jack’s side, who doesn’t know the warmth of blood fresh on Jack’s fingers, the taste of gun oil and certitude on a still-warm barrel.

The sensible thing would be to run, but sensible doesn’t stand a chance next to the heat in Jack’s eyes, the careful press of his thumb against Rhys’ windpipe.

In another life, maybe; but in this one, as Jack draws the breath out of his lungs with a kiss, Rhys leans into the yes.
