A sacrifice

Morpheus opened his eyes. The nightmare of losing his queen and friend haunted his thoughts. It was the most painful thing that he had to go through this season.

He was breaking on the inside, the guilt on how everything that happened was weighing him down. He was able to accept that she was gone. 

He turned to the side, the first thing that he saw was the sight of Marcus sleeping peacefully on the bed. There was a lot going on that he didn't get the time to just lay back and enjoy a simple thing as his beloved sleeping. 

His lips curled up into a smile, Marcus was like water. That cooled down the anger and flame in his heart without even doing anything. 

Morpheus reached his fingers to Marcus's face. He traced and caressed Marcus's cheek. He didn't recall the last time he just allowed himself to drown in the feelings that he had for the man.
