So, I've tried to write something.

It's the first thing I'm posting and english is not my first language, so it might have a lot of errors and I don't know much of how posting on tumblr works, so I may not have done it all perfectly.

For the story, be mindful of talking of immortality and the death of the characters.

"What would you do if you were imortal?" She asked as they were sitting in the garden. The sky was beautiful, with lots of shiny points in the vast black canvas. And to think that the stars seem to be so small from down there.

"What do you mean? Like 'don't die and don't age' kind of imortal?" Her friend responded, eating one more Pringles and stretching his legs on their once white blanket.

"Yes, it can be like that"

"Humm", he looked up to the night, "I guess I would live normally and get money at first, and then I would move countries without my family knowing and live as an anonymous person so they don't think it's strange that I don't age"

"Wouldn't you miss them?" She was observing him, for he seemed so relaxed talking about it. Not how she would've responded at all if they switched positions.

"I would. But I think that if I were immortal, I would have time to get over it. In this instance, it's better than what we have. You see, some people can't get over the death of loved ones in their lifespam, so, in this type of case, more time to heal should be better, right?"

She was very puzzled by this. He was so detached that it was weird. She kept on looking at him as he looked to the sky. She thought that he was very strange, but it did not cover the fact that he was very pretty. His dark hair was a little too long, so it falls on his forehead and neck with the way he was supporting himself on his arms. He then crossed his legs and propped himself up to get another hand of Pringles.

"What if time doesn't heal anything and you just wanted to end it all?" She asked her final question, curious.

"Well, then you also have eternity to figure all how to die", he responded and looked at her. "But why do you ask?" He arched his brow and smiled, "You like those vampire stories?"

"Yes, I do like. However, that's no the reason for my questions. Look, I think that if I were imortal, I would certainly look for a way to destroy myself. And I think that the best way to do this would be, like in the vampire stories, to 'pass it on'" She smiled at him too and served them a cup of Coke.

He took a sip without taking his eyes off her. Seeing this, she also sipped hers.

"Think of it like this: if you were immortal, you would have eternity, and, since it's obvious you can't destroy an eternity, the only other option is to hand it out."

He felt his head hurt, maybe because it was a very complicated topic. He drank more of the Coke and asked, "And how would you do that?"

"If somebody steals eternity from an immortal, then what is left is a mortal." She got closer to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "So, just have anyone killing you and you could lose immortality. "

"Yeah, makes sense", he said, raising his hand to his head and massaging it. "My head is hurting."

"Maybe is the Coke, give me a sip." She said and he handed her the cup without much of a thought. She drank it all in one go.

"Oh yes, I forgot to mention something. Since eternity is so big for it to go to other person, it must have space. That's why the person must be almost dead, so the lifetime doesn't occupy any space."

He was very dizzy and didn't realized when he lost balance. He just felt that his friend got him before he hit the ground and he stayed leaned on her.

He then realized the point behind the questions. And why she wanted to see him today. He thought about all the things they did togheter and how he did not know it at all. He suddenly felt very sad, for he was happy in the dark while his friend was having a very hard and long time.

"This method is very bothersome and it took me a while to think of it. It's like you said though, I did have much time to think about it." She hugged him and kissed his black hair. "So, please, don't be too mad. I'm not like you. I'm not so detached nor can I overcome all the things I want, even with time." A single tear ran out of her eye. "So, you go first. I will follow you in a bit", She chuckled, also getting a little weak as they almost fell on the blanket. "They always say that soda can kill you, it's very literal in our case"

She then also got affected by the poison and they fell on their backs on the ground. He closed his eyes and heard his friend cry a little. She apologized a lot. She hugged him and he tried his best to hug her back. He wanted to at least console her once before she went. He wanted to let her know he was not angry at her. He wanted to say goodbye.

For her, it was too much time, but for him it was too little.

She looked at the sky and thought of all the endless years she had the same view. Never changing, never moving. In this world, it seems like only her and the star continued the same through centuries. Well, now, it will not be like this anymore.

"I am really sorry" She put her arm on her forehead, "I just hope eternity does better for you than it did to me" She said as he finally stopped breathing.

And after that, she also closed her eyes. The stars looked as small as ever. She hoped it was the last time she saw them. She prayed that this time it worked and she could be finally free.
