What you are - [DRABBLE]
Aug. 17th, 2022 08:50 pmTimes like this are the sweetest and the purest,
when the younger looks at him and the corner of his mouth lifts up to a smile,
that precious smile of his that he badly wants to protect from this crazy and cruel world.
Times like this are the calmest and it surges energy within him,
when he sees him looking at him curiously,
when he glances at him in the corner of his eyes, trying to decipher his train of thoughts.
He always wanted to look back and just gaze at him calmly, lovingly.
If only he could do that in front of many people.
There are times when he tries to hide it,
his loving gazes towards his partner.
There are times when he just let himself be,
when he doesn’t give a damn on anyone else aside from his love.
There are times when he misses him,
even when he is just a seat away from him.
There are times when he just wants to reach out and hold his hand,
even when many eyes are looking at them.
There are times when he wishes they can just be them,
with no pretending at all.
But then,
just his gaze calms his anxious heart,
just his smile makes his heart flutters,
just his side-glances makes him understand he has been being looked at by the younger,
just him and him alone.
It always amazes him how he is still being loved after all these years.
He would look at the younger’s glowing face and he would silently ask himself,
“What did I do to deserve someone like him?”
And then the younger would smile at him affectionately,
and as if he had heard his question he would suddenly says,
“Because you are you."
"What did I do to deserve someone like you?”
His love would ask in return and he would softly, lovingly answer back,
“Because you are you."
