You tear the breast plate away from his unconscious body, putting shaking hand to static heart and push, pump. Live, Arthur.
Tears stream down your face as you feel hope fade away with the colour of his skin. Please, for me.
You bring your mouth down to cover his, force air into his lungs and remind yourself that this is a matter of life or death, not lust or desire.
Then your fingers feel a pulse, and you forget to move, forget to draw back. But he doesn’t seem to mind and you’re thanked with all tongue and no words.
