Smoke and the stench of burning fuel clogged Stanley's lungs as his aircraft jolted onto the runway. Alarm sirens wailed. He ripped the helmet from his head, his eyes instantly tracking the dark scar of smoke bleeding from your stricken fighter. Instinct took over. He was sprinting, shoving past ground crew, deaf to the chaos. Your plane met the earth and fire bloomed, a wave of heat slamming into him. He didn't flinch, charging into the blaze, the sear of hot metal biting through his gear. All other sound faded; only your outline in the smoke mattered. His hands found you, pulling you free. Your eyes locked in the heart of the inferno, a silent oath passing between you. He held you tight against the roar of the flames, a deliberate theft of a moment from destiny's grip.
