Prompt: Breathing Room

Pairing: Hawkmetri

***

It’s beyond Demetri how he ended up slow-dancing with the boy he’s been in love with since age 8 at the senior prom. He keeps expecting someone to shake him awake.

He breathes in Eli’s cologne, trying to turn off the eternal worry and live the moment. Follow the same advice his prom date gave him what seems like an eternity ago.

Maybe they wouldn’t last through college. Maybe Eli could still change his mind.

All Demetri knows for certain is that a year ago—or ten—he’d have given everything for this.

It turned out he didn’t need to.

And I’d give up forever to touch you ‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later, it’s over I just don’t wanna miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me ‘Cause I don't think that they’d understand When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
