A feeling of complete numbness ran through Iiliit as she stared at the infected bite on Mathias’ arm. Her breathing was surprisingly even; calm, but quiet.

Eyes were somewhat widened, filled with disbelief, sorrow, and anger.

A silent tear ran down her face as she finally found her voice, “W-When…W-When were you going to tell me this…? W-When?!” Her words were shaking just as much as she was it seemed. She felt confused and unable to even formulate her own thoughts anymore.

Reaching out, Mathias tried to wipe away her single tear which was followed by more, though she quickly knocked his hand away. Then the screaming ensued as she started to lose control of her own emotions, “Y-You idiot, idiot, idiot! I was going to find out eventually you know once you had tried to eat me?! Dear God Mathias, dear God, why? Why would you do this to me, why?” The tears streamed freely down her face now. The attempt for her to look or act strong was gone now. She just couldn’t pretend anymore, it just hurt too much.

 Her voice became quiet as she looked down at the ground and shook her head, repeating, “Why…?”

“Iil…I’m sorry, Iil…” His tone sounded regretful as he took her into his arms and attempted to hush her; patting her back gently. He began to sing to her in Danish, specifically what he used to lull her to sleep when she was younger.

She outright objected, feeling even more overwhelmed by emotion as she tried to push away from him, “I-I hate you…Don’t touch me…I-I hate you…” Her voice sounded weak and tired just as her body and mind were. She didn’t feel like fighting anymore. Everyone else had died and now all she had was Denmark. She would be alone soon though thanks to his bite and it hurt. Her heart ached more than anything else right now.

He would not let her go and just went on singing softly to her. Having no strength left to stop him, she rested her head on his chest; listening to him as her eyes closed.

Once the singing had stopped, she looked up to see that his own eyes were closed now.  She swallowed hard, shaking him over and over again, “Mathias…Mat…Please…Please…I don’t wanna be alone. You can’t leave me alone!” She shouted over and over at the immobile, seemingly lifeless body.

Her head hanging down, she silently cried, “You can’t leave me alone…I…”

“I need you…” She wished she could have told him that just once when he was still awake. Just once.

She never even got the chance to say goodbye. The last words she had said to him were ‘I hate you.’ Those were lies too. She had seen him as her close friend, her older brother even, she loved him. It was too late to tell him that now though.

The numbness returned as she stared at the Dane’s form which lacked the cheery vibe and goofy grin that it usually contained.

She knew it was only a matter of time before he turned but found that she lacked the strength to carry out what she knew she had to. Taking out the gun that she had carried, the Greenlander held it to her head.

Giving one last smile in the direction of the Danish man, she whispered in her own language, “Sinilluarit, ani…Asavakit…”

One more tear slid down her face as she repeated the phrase one more time, “Goodnight, brother…I-I love you…”

Send me a ∞ for how I think my character would propose to yours

(You anons and your DenGreen. I am watching you.)

(Okay we'll just call him Mathias)

Mathias swung their hands back and forth as they walked down the beach, "Hey Iils..."

Iiliit looked over to see the Dane's face actually seemed rather serious for once. She frowned a bit, asking, "Hm...? What is it?"

"Do you think...You could see us spending the rest of our lives together?" He swallowed hard and looked down, "I mean...Do I make you happy?"

She let out a small laugh and then nodded, "Of course I could...I mean, you're annoying sometimes but...I would be lonely without you and, I wouldn't be able to laugh as often as I do without you."

A grin appeared on his face and he looked over at her, rubbing the back of his head, "That's really good to hear...Come on!"

He pulled her down the beach, running as fast as he could to one specific spot with her. She gasped and yelled, "Why are we running, Mat?!"

He made a sudden stop and frowned, looking down in the sand; quietly saying to himself, "Shit...It...It's gone..."

Iiliit tried to catch her breath, "What...What's gone...?"

"H-Hey Iily can you, uh, turn away for a moment, I have to do something..."

"Mathias if you pee in the water or sand I will-"

"That was one time!" He grumbled, "I won't Iiliit...J-Just turn away!"

She sighed and turned the other way, crossing her arms and waiting for him to be done with whatever.

"Okay...I'm ready." Mathias told her, "Turn back this way and look down."

She rolled her eyes and did as he said, putting her hands to her mouth. Written in the sand was 'Will you marry me?' and in front of her was Mathias kneeling with a box.

He opened it, showing a ring; a soft smile on his face, "Well, Iils...? What do you say? Will you make me the happiest man in the world?"

With happy tears running down her face, she nodded, "Y-Yes, yes I will..."

She hugged him tightly, burying her face in his shoulder.

This would be one of the best decisions of her life.
