[When they kiss, Zevran can tell it's a goodbye. He feels his eyes string under his lids and threaten to spill as they reopen. He doesn't want this, but it's their only chance. He can't let it pass up. As soon as he leaves, Bucky will follow. He promised.
His chest grows tight when they separate. Like his own bones will crush him from the inside. He almost hopes for it, because death would be easier than this right now.]
I'll wait for you. [His voice cracks and betrays him. The longer he stares at Bucky, the more he doesn't want to leave. He's lucky Bucky went across the room, or else he wouldn't have been about to move with him near.] East side of town. 3 klicks out. If you aren't there-
[He will be there. He promised. He said he would be. He won't break that.
If Zevran keeps telling himself that then it might come true.]
Then I'm coming back for you.
[That is his promise, and he would keep it. Before he could say anything else, or talk himself out of it, he vanished. The air in the stop where he stood waves and moves as if heat were move through it. The waves slowly made their way to the exit that Bucky had pointed too.] Farewell, mi leon.
