ty has a way of stealing the breath from his lungs, like a fire burning all the oxygen out of the room around him. that’s how it feels now, listening to him speak. brown eyes soften as he takes a step closer so that they’re standing just in front of one another. hardly an arm’s length remains between them, but he resists reaching out or closing the distance for now; he wants to be able to look him in the eye for this. when he does respond, his voice is low with a mixture of emotion that he can’t begin to decipher, “ then everyone else is wasting their lives. ” he searches those blue eyes for a moment, wanting the sincerity of his words to be plain. “ because you, tylan, are impossible to look away from. not for all those things you do, not for who your family is... just you. ” a lopsided smile breaks across his features at that, perhaps disrupting the serious tone, but he can’t help it.
