Smalletho (Joel | Smallishbeans / EthosLab), Joel-centric, Royal au, love letters and long distance relationships, grief / mourning, familial grief, written for @hermitshippingbigbang !!
So Joel didn't kiss Etho. Ae can't bring aerself to say anything but ask, without saying it, if Etho could bear to see aer again.
"Will you write me?"
The knight nods solemnly, ever so good at staying composed in front of others, when Joel can see the blood rushing to his cheeks. "Of course," he replies, "as soon as we hit land."
OR : Etho's leaving for Pixandria, Joel's seemingly alone in Mezalea and life likes to challenge aers faith and will to live on. That's to say ae is as confused as ae is scared, but there's nothing much to do but wait.
