Author's Note: repost! original here.
taemin took a breath next to him - maybe to calm himself from nervousness, from anxiety, from even happiness, minho didn’t know, but he knew that taemin was feeling the same thing he was, their hearts beating as one, the thumps fast but steady and synchonized. their love was condemned here - this was no place for two angels to fall in love, much less with the same gender. had they been different, things might have worked out differently (there might have even been an exception for them, due to their high-ranking positions, but that was sadly not the case). however, minho didn’t feel sad.
how long had they been fighting the attraction? for so long, the only thing minho could remember was gazing onto the face of the one he longed for with all his body and soul. he knew that taemin felt the same thing - the other angel was incapable of lying, just as he was. and now here they were, about to fall to earth for the first time, for the last time.
from the corner of his eye, minho saw taemin gather his courage to nod resolutely. “i’m ready,” his other half declared, and their hands clenched tightly around the other’s, unwilling to let go for even a second, “as long as you’ll be there when i fall.”
minho turned to taemin, face soft and gentle as a smile lit his face. “i’ll be there to catch you, taemin.”
taemin turned to minho as well, face tender and beautiful - so fucking beautiful that it made minho catch his breath while he gazed at the face of his soon-to-be-lover - as a smile of the other angel’s own caused taemin’s eyes to curve into moon-shaped crescents. “i know. and i’ll always be there when you need to lean on me.”
“always,” they said together in unison (much like their hearts), turning their smiling visages down to the earth. a glow spread through minho, causing him to close his eyes peacefully. a countdown sounded in his head, and their hands squeezed each other’s once more before they were running, wings widened -
and then they were flying, flying, flying until they started falling. he couldn’t tell the difference between the two and when a bright laugh burst in to his left, he knew taemin couldn’t either.
but maybe it was because of love they didn’t feel the pain of falling - they had something to look forward to.
even as minho felt his wings ripped from his back and tears leak from the corners of his eyes to evaporate into the sky, he couldn’t stop the smile as he fell with taemin.
together, they were whole.
fin.
