One last ray of Hope...
After his rather unpleasant conversation with Henry, Avalon is sore and hurting. He feels like his chest is bleeding out all of his life, and every breath is an agony. What is coming now, what he must do before leaving is somehow just as much, if not more painful than his fight with Henry. It makes Avalon feel sick to his stomach, and he wrestles with it all day as he readies himself.

After packing all his things that Henry had so kindly bought him away in the guest room, with shirts and clothing and what have you neatly put away where they would belong. He then summons up his Blue Lantern uniform and goes in search of Josh. It's broad daylight and he doesn't even care if a civilian sees him.

Avalon's teeth worry at his bottom lip as he searches for the words. He's practiced it over and over again, though now that it's time to actually say what he's been practicing, it's almost like he can't get the words out.

"I.. I love you, Josh." he finally gets out, stumbling over each word. "I do not trust my trans.. translator.. to get things.. right. I wanted to.. to.. to say it myself. I could not leave without you knowing."

Josh waits patiently. But when Ava finally says it, Josh's heart just about tears in half for the second time since he's met the Lanterns.

"Ava...I," he swallows. "I love you too," he says, leaning in for a kiss.

He's thrilled to hear it but if Ava's leaving...

It's certainly a bitter sweet moment. Avalon feels like he's just about to burst, between what he, himself was feeling, and what Josh was feeling doubled over inside his head. The alien gives a soft little sound and then lifts up on his toes to meet Josh's lips. For Avalon ,the kiss is a wild thing, marked with passion just now tasted, yet sadly was never meant to be. Finally the tears spill over the rims of Avalon's closed lashes, and he chokes back a sob as he opens more to Josh, deepening the kiss.

Josh makes though same sobbing noises as he presses back into the kiss. He wraps his arms around Ava and holds him close. "Please..." he trails off, breaking the kiss just long enough to say it.

"I'm sorry." whispers back Avalon. He clings to Josh, his body trembling so hard that he leans on the other boy to hold him up.

"I can not." he then says sadly, his voice so thick that the words are hard to even make out. Avalon squeezes Josh tightly, unwilling to let go. If only he had taken advantage of their time the other night alone. Now Avalon regrets not having done more with Josh than simple kissing. Then again.. a few days ago.. it didn't seem like this would ever happen.

"If they.. a-allow.. then I will come." he then stammers, eyes searching Josh's

Josh just looks broken and sad. He can't quite form any words right now so he nods slightly and holds tighter.

Words weren't really needed, not by Avalon anyway. He presses in against Josh, his wings finally closing around the two of them as he simply enjoys the closeness. He doesn't have the heart to tell Josh, but this very well may be the last time they see each other. None of the other Blue Lanterns had gotten so dangerously close to loosing their Hope as Avalon has, and he fears that he will have to return his ring once he arrives back on Odym.

"Josh.. will you hold me? Please?" he then asks in his halting way, even though Josh already is holding him, Avalon feels the need to ask. "Just.. until I have to go."

Josh sniffs a little and nods. "Y-yeah, Avalon. I have you."

Avalon finds it easy to draw Josh down onto the grass and snuggles into his arms. The afternoon is growing long, and the sun would be setting soon, but for now.. It's just Josh and Avalon and the spring around them. Life is blooming, leaves budding, flowers blooming.. But Avalon finds no joy in any of it as he might have usually done. He's busy trying to memorize every moment, every breath, every texture of Josh's being. He doesn't want to forget a single moment of these last few stolen moments with the last bit of his hope left.

Especially when he will be forced to finally leave.

But not yet. Not until the sun sets and the grass grows cold. They still have a little bit of time, however fleeting.
