❛  i’ve  always  been  in  love  with  you,  ❜  joel  sat  with  his  guitar  in  his  lap—he  had  stopped  playing  for  a  moment  to  let  the  silence  sit.  it  was  in  that  silence  that  he  felt  his  heart  swell.  joseph  was  next  to  him  as  he  had  often  been  these  days.  they  enjoyed  each  other’s  company  in  more  ways  than  just  this  one.  joel  turned  his  head  to  look  at  joseph.  he  couldn’t  help  the  smile  that  spread  a  crossed  his  face  as  he  noticed  he’d  taken  him  off  guard  with  those  words—direct  and  honest  as  they  were,  ❛  i  know  that  now.  ❜  joel  continued,  he  let  his  eyes  linger  into  josephs’…  there  was  a  gentleness  there,  one  joel  knew  he  preserved  for  him.  ❛  did  you  know?…  from  the  moment  we  met….  ❜  joel  looked  off  and  breathed  and  chuckled  breathlessly  as  he  recalled  their  first  meeting.  ❛  could  you  feel  it  too?  ❜  joel’s  gaze  softened  once  more  as  he  looked  upon  joseph  and  reached  over  to  take  his  hand  into  his  own.  ❛  i  never  thought  i’d  ever  feel  this  way…  not  like  this.  ❜  / @nowfather

they  would  not  be  reasoned  with,      so  she  did  not  try.     they  clearly  lacked  intelligence.     alina  carefully  placed  her  crystal  into  her  satchel—it  would  only  be  in  the  way.     as  the  orcs  rushed  forward—𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞  𝐨𝐧  𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐞𝐝’𝐬  𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬  𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞  𝐰𝐚𝐬  𝐚  𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭  𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰  𝐨𝐟  𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞  𝐚𝐧𝐝  𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞  𝐚𝐬  𝐬𝐡𝐞  𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝  𝐡𝐞𝐫  𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲.     the  rush  of  adrenaline  pumping  through  her  as  she  felt  the  light  surge  in  her—sapping  what  was  left  of  the  sun  as  it  sank  into  the  earth  and  bringing  it  into  the  night.     𝐬𝐡𝐞  𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝  𝐢𝐧  𝐡𝐞𝐫  𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲  𝐚𝐧𝐝  𝐰𝐚𝐬  𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞  𝐨𝐟  𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐲  𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠  𝐢𝐧  around  her  as  she  thought  to  relax  for  a  breath.

❛ romeo… ❜ his name said like a pray, a unsent love letter meant for only one, a wish… how he wished he could return to those days. alas, they were as lost as his memories of self were. romeo’s existence clung him to a past that was meant to be forgotten when he was made anew. ❛ i… i now feel as if the choices i have made to meet you have been fated so that i could awaken at the sight of you. ❜ he places his hand over where is heart should be, ❛ those i slayed will continue to live on through the ergo that i have absorbed… i hope they are able to find forgiveness… i was lost in the darkness of my mind. ❜ his eyes felt heavy as they sought the floor for the comfort he felt would not be shown in the eyes of his beloved. for how could he, when he was forced to mourn them. he stole those lives away. there was no way to bring them back, and even still… romeo outstretched his hand, welcoming him to join him. to be at his side. p was overcome with joy, his eyes wide as he met the gaze of romeo. ❛ truly? ❜ / @nowking
