Summary/Warning: It was supposed to be their usual lunch in the park.    This was written for the community kill_your_otp  so be warned it's far from fluff.  Complete table found HERE


The first shot didn’t even register in Russell’s brain for what it was. He was too enthralled by the bright smile and melodic laughter of the man sitting across from him as they fed the ducks in the park. Ed was indeed a sight to behold when carefree.

The second shot only caught his attention because Ed’s face grew pained right after the sound and the way he muttered Russell’s name had him wondering what was wrong. When he couldn't get Ed to respond, he started to worry. Worry turned to panic when a thick trail of crimson trickled from his nose.

The third shot he felt. It ripped through his chest and it was all he could do to grab Ed’s trembling hand as they slumped forward. Dazed eyes set in a pale face looked at him as blood soaked lips mouthed the words, I love you. Russell tried to do the same but couldn’t.

All around them he heard screams, shouts and more gunfire but it didn’t matter. Everything ceased to matter when the hand in his went limp and those golden eyes shut forever. He was so weak he couldn’t even cry so he did the only thing he could do...

He laid his head down beside Ed’s and waited for his turn.

You're really cracking on with these and writing such beautiful fic <3 Even though there is death, you're handling it with love (does that make sense?? ^^;)

Oh wow!! So tragic yet so romantic at the end!! I cant believe you actually did it!! I dont think I could ever kill off both my guys... I did once kill Harry and Draco was sad but he had their son to bring him peace... it was still sad and hard to write!!

Thank you my dear *hugs* I was a little difficult when I first thought about it. I have been sitting on this challenge for a week or so now. then suddenly POOF yesterday I started getting ideas...so far I have killed them off four times >.<

I will have to give them serious love after this table is done

I went and checked out the group... well actually joined out of morbid curiosity!! :D Do you really have to kill them in every prompt... cant just be a brilliant story that ends in the tragic demise of its heroes... kindve like the ultimate angst series!! I'd have trouble doing it the first time but kudos to you for being able to stomach it!!♥

Far as I know someone has to die in each fic. I took what they said in the profile to mean killing them both off but you could always ask the mod (they seem really cool) But as long as they die it doesn't seem to matter how or why.

Due to the table I picked it seems my muse has decided it's going to be a heavy angsty death each time...thanks for the kudos ^_^

So sad! At the same time, if they have to die, at least they die together.

Thank you once again...this was definitely not the picnic in the park they thought it would be *sniffs*
