Authors Note: Figured this was a good time to post this, what with all the subtext interpretations running around. And this isn't slash. It may look like it at times, but it isn't. Kay? No slash here. Very simple, G-rated Gen fic.

Forever
by Demeter




After only two months, I'm ready to curl up and die. What will happen if you never come back? You will come back, won't you? You won't leave me forever, right? I wish I could hear you now, like it was all those months ago. Why can't I? Are you too far away? Are you not thinking about me? Don't you want to hear me?




Why did you have to go undercover? Why did you have to leave me?




I had no choice Benny. I didn't want to leave you. I am so sorry.




RAY! Ray, is that you? Am I hallucinating?




No, Benny, you aren't hallucinating. It's me. God, I miss you!




Oh Ray!! I miss you so much. I can't take this anymore. I need you here.




I know. I need you too. I feel like I'm dying here.




Yes! Me too. I feel like something has been ripped from my soul.




No Benny. It feels like my soul is gone. My soul, my heart, my life. Everything. You are my everything. And you aren't here.




I know Ray. You're my everything too. I can't live without you. I never could.




Neither could I Benny. I was nothing before you came. You completed me. And now I've fallen apart again. God, Benny! Why do I love you so much?




You . . . . . love me Ray?




Yes. I love you. As my brother, my friend, and my soul. Nothing less and infinitely more.




I love you too Ray. I always have and I always will.




Are you crying Benny?




No. Yes. Yes I am.




Why? Are you okay?




Yes and no Ray. No one has ever said they loved me and meant it.




I mean it Benny. I'll love you forever, no matter what. Never doubt that.




I don't Ray. I never will.




No matter what?




No matter what.




I have to go now Benny.




NO! Please! I just got you back! You can't leave now!




I have to. They're coming soon. Please don't cry. I can't stand it when you cry. Don' worry, I'll come back. I'll come back again and again. As long as you need me to.




Forever. Can you do that? Can you be with me forever?




Yes. Starting tonight, I'm yours forever. Are you mine forever?




Yes. I'm yours, until the end of time.




I love you Benny.




I love you too. Forever.




Forever. Goodbye, Benny.




Goodbye Ray. Please be safe and come home soon.




End.
