In my rush, I hadn’t tied my shoelaces. Noah was now tying them for me. He looked up at me through his dark fringe of lashes and smiled. The expression on his face melted me completely. I knew I had the goofiest grin plastered on my lips, and didn’t care. “There,” he said as he finished tying the laces on my left shoe. “Now you won’t fall.” Too late.

Interior of the hand. Sole that has come to walk only on feelings. That faces upward and in its mirror receives heavenly roads, which travel along themselves. That has learned to walk upon water when it scoops, that walks upon wells, transfiguring every path. That steps into other hands, changes those that are like it into a landscape:wanders and arrives within them, fills them with arrival.

I want us to wake up together, to drink coffee from the same cup, to go to sleep at the same time. I want to go out with you, to show you off and around. Furthermore, I want us to eat dinner, then watch some hockey match together and then your melodramas. Furthermore, I promise I will keep your most favorite CD in my car, and we'll listen to it whenever you'll want, even when I know it will drive me insane. Furthermore, I want you to look at me when I am shaving in the mornings and I promise wherever we go I will always look only at you. Furthermore, I want to finally understand why you smell so fresh and flowery, I want to hold your hand, not under the table, but over it. Furthermore, I want us to cook together, to laugh together, to cry together, I want you for worse and for better. Furthermore, I want us to get married some day, have kids, a lot of them, then grow up and even die in one day. Furthermore, I want it all with you. And I get it that I haven't been around for 4 years, but if you still want me, if you still love me like you did all those years ago, I will make up for our lost time.

I had to catch the tears before they could fall, refusing to make him feel bad about the choice he had to make but also wanted to make. "I know. And same for you. No matter how many angels you fall for or how many deals you make with the devil, I'll always be the one who loves you most.

Li all realized that this was the first time he had really been alone with Scarlet. He stood up and held out his hand. The blanket dropped from his shoulders. "Come here." Scarlet reached out to him tentatively and Li all quickly dragged him into his arms. He fits there perfectly, Li all thought, snug if not a little small. Scarlet did not respond at first, as if he would pull away, and for a moment Li all believed he had made a huge mistake. Then, surprisingly, Scarlet sighed, and his arms went around Li all's back. Scarlet turned his head to rest his cheek against Li all's bare chest as hey listened to the rain batten on the roof. "Thank you for saving my life." Li all murmured.
