Warning for major character death

Cross was scared. Outer- his loving boyfriend -had gone missing suddenly. Sometimes, Cross would hear what he thought was his voice, only to discover that he was merely hallucinating. He called out his name, screamed for him to come back, but there was never any response. Yet, he still called, some part of him hoping that maybe he would get an answer.

"O-outer? Is that y-you? Come on, you know I don't like hide-and-seek... you can come out now, babe..! Please...?"

"..."

Cross sighed, more hot and thick tears caressing his face. He was starting to lose any and all hope of ever seeing Outer again.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Cross heard a familiar voice call out to him.

"CROSS! HELP! I'M WITH NIGHHMMMFF!" The rest of Outer's sentence was but mere muffled gibberish, unintelligible to Cross. But he ran towards the voice nonetheless, only fueled by his determination to see his boyfriend once more.

He failed, and the last thing he saw was his lover's dying eyes, and voice that spoke, "You did your best..." And that was that.
