Is it gay to love your genderbend self? (1)

'Cold... so cold...'

Elijah felt something slithering over his legs, thin, spindly fingers traced his skin. He couldn't move. Couldn't see a single thing.

His heartbeat pounded in his ears, erratic, uneven. The air felt thick, dense with something unseen yet ever-present, waiting. Watching.

'Is this... a dream?'

He knew it was. He had to. But knowing didn't help. Knowing about it didn't woke him up at all.

A flicker of movement in the void. A figure took shape before him.

Golden hair. Golden eyes. A face he once knew.

Dae-hyun.

Blood soaked his body, staining his skin and pooling at his feet.

A jagged, gaping hole marred his throat, the wound wet. The blood did not pour—it simply bubbled, like something still trying to live despite being torn apart.

Dae-hyun's lips curled—not quite a smile, not quite anything at all.
