Just stay here until I don’t need him anymore.
If that doesn’t sound like something my mind would offer me I don’t know what is.
I thread my fingers through his, his glowing skin casting light against mine in a strange way. He isn’t completely solid. I feel his warm skin beneath my touch but it’s a transparent sort of form. It looks like his hand could crumple beneath too much power within my fingertips.
I pull hard until his lean body wraps around mine. He feels good. He feels so good against me.
“I want you to stay forever.” My chest aches just speaking. “But I know by morning you’ll be gone.”
During the night, when I’m alone, is when I’m weakest. Loneliness causes the worst to come out in us. Right now, when I’m shut away from the prying eyes of my father, I’m at my worst. I’ll fake my confidence throughout the day, but I can’t fake anything when I’m alone.
“I’ll stay as long as I can. I’ll stay forever if I can.”
I’ve had someone promise me forever before. I know from experience forever never lasts.
