Icarus and Ven are in the hallway, Icarus knows they are alone now with their father and this is the best option for Ven. Even if they wished for him to stay, wished that the one truly good thing that comes out of this base, this group doesn't leave them. But they understand.

But it doesn't stop it from hurting as Ven walks to the exit.

"I kind of wish we could have been something" Ven spoke the weight of all he has learn present in his voice.

"Wait!" Before Icarus even knew what they were doing they ran up to him. "If-if we could be something then-" They pulled Ven closed and kissed him on the lip. His lips were soft was the first thing that Icarus noted. The second was that Ven was pulling away from their embrace and that it was him who deepen it. Icarus was the one to leave it, slightly embarrassed but content.

"I-i'm sorry, I should have asked, and not just done that, but your leaving and-" It was Ven who kissed them going slightly on his tippy toes to reach their mouth.

"It's alright Icarus, I just wished we could of had this for longer" Tears went down both of their faces.

"Yeah… Stay safe out there."

"I will, Bye Icarus"
