MY STORIES ^W^
I Killed Myself and Buried Him (story)
"GOD it's so FUCKING IRRITATING!!!"
On the east side of a small town in the middle of nowhere, lies a graveyard, the usually still midnight air disturbed by an outburst that has been held back for decades.
"I mean I LITERALLY TOLD THEM!!!! And they just..."
A girl named Vee stands in front of the grave of a young man who died that day. Tears stream down her face and her vocal chords are raspy and ache from screaming.
"They just do this..."
"I know baby, I know."
Next to Vee is her girlfriend, Luna, one hand rubbing Vees back to sooth her, the other holding a dusty old book, its use no longer meaningful to the couple.
"I knew this was the right decision as soon as you brought it up but... This just shows how right we were to do it."
Vee stares at the grave below her, first looking at the ring of ceremonial candles Luna set up an hour or so ago, then finally resting on the pictures of the dead man that were left by her family. As much as she wants to smash them to pieces, to desecrate this grave so no one can ever remember the name on the gravestone, Luna said its best to not leave a trace.
Everything went without a hitch. They should be able to get out of this god forsaken town right on schedule.
"As much shit they gave me, as many side eyes or weird comments, I always believed them when they said they cared. When they said they loved me," Vee said, words catching in her throat.
"I always thought that someday they would... I dont know... Get used to it, or just, like... realize it's not going away. Even if they didn't accept me, I hoped that it one day it wouldn't be such a BIG FUCKING DEAL!!!!"
Vees last words cut through the night, echoing along the empty graveyard around them. Luna stands by her side, letting her get it all out. She knows how much Vee needs to get this out. They have all the time in the world now.
Vee lets out a sigh and slumps her shoulders, leaning on Luna a bit, who kisses her temple, silently reassuring her that shes there for her.
"I hoped that... at the very least they would realize how they fucked up after it happened. But nope... Didn't skip a beat... 'Nice young man' this, 'Handsome gentlemen' that..."
"Hey," Luna says, putting her hand on Vees cheek, pulling her attention from the grave and looking into her eyes, Vee practically melting into her lovers hand, "That's behind us now. I mean, look at you!! I thought you were pretty before-"
"Oh shoosh."
"-but look at you now!!!! You're fuckin... Gorgeous."
Vee looks down at her new body for the first time. Lunas right. It's... perfect. The height, the proportions, the curves... Everything is just as she imagined.
"My crippling gayness aside," They both chuckle at that, "We did it. It worked. Everything went perfectly. You have the body you've always wanted. Yeah, your parents fuckin suck, but you never have to think about them ever again."
"We did it... It worked..." Vee repeats to herself, finally letting it set in. Something finally went right in her shitty life. Her girlfriend did some wicked majicks that she cant quite understand and now, here she is. Standing above her own grave in the arms of the only girl who ever loved her, with a flight in the morning to a place that will actually care about them.
Vee starts to tear up, leaning even more into her lovers touch. "Thank you Luna. Thank you so much I... I don't know how I would have survived this long without you."
"Well luckily we dont need to worry about that, cause I'm here."
Luna pulls Vee in for a kiss, and as they lock lips, Vee all but crumbles into her lovers embrace. Everything just feels so... perfect. The way their bodys fit together, the way Lunas lips feel on her own, its all different, but finally, it feels right.
After awhile they pull away from each other, eyes meeting, and Luna starts giggling.
"What are you laughing for??" Vee says between giggles of her own, "A young man killed himself today!!"
"You still have dirt in your mouth," Luna teased, sticking her tongue out in play disgust.
"Oh please, you liked it. With the way your tongue was digging for more I'd say-"
"OKAY NOW LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE!!"
They walk away from the grave, holding each other close and teasing each other to no end, almost forgetting anything that happened here. And before long, they will be out of this town, finally able to move on to a better life for good.
