The light within

I’m in love with you. The words would tingle through his mind for a long, long time. Well after the fact. It was true that things would never be the same with the two boys. With the winged boy willing to open himself up to the vulnerability of being loved. With Hika his… boyfriend? Beside him, they ventured further into Auster.
