Kurt lay in the ambulance, his head one big ball of pain, but at least he was alive. He had Gio and Rick to thank for that. Well, Gio more than Rick. His brother had nearly blown them all to little bits, but it was Gio who had rushed in and grabbed him, carrying him to safety.
"You feeling okay?" Gio gently brushed his hand along Kurt's cheek.
"No. I feel like hell." Kurt kissed his fingers. "You?"
"Same." Gio smiled and leaned down, kissing Kurt softly.
Kurt noticed a flashbulb go off, and his first instinct was to pull away from Gio, to scream for the paramedics to close the door, but at that very moment he didn't care. He just pulled Gio closer, kissed him deeper, and cherished the fact that they could spend one more day together.

Rick leaned against the police cruiser and watched as Barbi's dream house burned to the ground. It seemed almost comical in that sense.
"You're smiling? Why?" Barbi walked up next to him, leaning against the cruiser, and joined him in watching the fire grow.
"Barbi got her dream house, her dream job, her dream man, and in the span of a couple of months her house burned to the ground, her job was stolen from her and her man turned out to be gay." He laughed. "I don't think little girls think of that story when they're playing with their dolls."
"No, no I don't believe they do." She leaned her head against his shoulder. "So you're gay?"
"What? No. Why would you think that?" He looked at her, his face turning red.
"You said my dream man was gay. So does that mean you just came out to me?" She smiled.
He couldn't help but laugh. When this had all started they had hated each other's guts, but at that very moment he wanted nothing more than the drive off into the sunset with her.
They kissed, closing their eyes, ignoring for a moment everything that had just happened, and everything that had happened since before Eve died. They had no history, just that moment.
Just that kiss.
