A/N: Written for shawol_haven 's 009 challenge. Well, more like written instead of the Government paper due Friday that I’ve yet to start ^^. Yay for procrastination! This is can be read as an ending that might-have-been/could-be for Half Acre.

“Do you know, we're gonna die.”
“You think so?”
“I know so.”
“Then you're stupid.”
“That was mean.”
“What are you going to do about it?”
“Make you admit that we're gonna die.”
“You're ridiculous. We're going to live forever.”
“Nobody lives forever.”
“There has to be a first for everything.”
“And you think you're going to be that first?”
“You don't think I'm doing a pretty good job so far?”
“You? Uh, no. I'm doing a good job.”
“So you think you're going to live forever.”
“I do not.”
“You just said you were doing a good job at living forever. Better than me, anyway.”
“Don't twist my words like that. I will hurt you, not even kidding.”
“Ooh, I'm so scared. Whatever. I'm going to live forever.”
“Yeah, you'll live forever. As a cripple.”
“Aha. You admit that I'm going to live forever.”
“As a cripple. You'll be lame and physically dependent on others and it'll be pathetic.”
“Forever is forever.”
“Nope. Everyone dies. It's inevitable.”
“Talk to me about inevitable after the fact.”
“You're impossible.”
“And you're going to live forever to take care of my impossible, crippled, undying self.”
“Like hell I will.”
“Will what?”
“Live forever.”
“But you'll take care of my impossible, crippled, undying self?”
“What are you going to do when I die?”
“You won't. Immortality is contagious.”
“Now you're definitely making shit up.”
“So?”
“...”
“...”
“You really don't think we're going to die?”
“Not tonight, baby.”
“I'll haunt your immortal ass for the rest of eternity, singing I told you so if you're wrong.”
“That'd be such an intrusion on my privacy, I'd have you exorcised to hell and back for it.”
“So you'll send me to hell and then bring me back to make me keep haunting you?”
“It's a good plan, don't you think? How else will I make you take care of my crippled self?”
“I'll be a ghost. How do I take care of anything as a ghost?”
“Magic?”
“Why is that a question?”
“Why are you so nitpicky?”
“Key.”
“Taemin.”
“You really think we're going to live through tonight?”
“Have you not heard a single word I've said?”
“But-”
“The blood'll come back. Eventually. Keep walking, Taemin.”
“I can't just leave you here-”
“Sure you can. You need to go to the hospital just as much as I do. Keep walking.”
“I'll walk with you.”
“I don't want you to. Go ahead of me.”
“...Will you haunt me if you die?”
“I'll even bring cake.”
“But you're not going to die, are you?”
“Of course not. I'm immortal. I might end up a little bit crippled in my immortality but alive is alive.”
“You-”
“I'll be right behind you. We're not that far, you can see the hospital lights from here.”
“We're not gonna die.”
“That's right. Fuck anyone who says otherwise and don't stop walking.”
When Taemin woke the next morning in a hospital bed, Key was standing beside him, a cake in his hands.
Like I said, forever.
