Send a ♡ to hear how my character would tell your character that they loved them without actually using the word "love."
It takes months, confessions, the ins and outs of truths, it takes Simon admitting to dropping a knife in a graveyard, trying to prove that it’s okay for Kieren not to forgive him. Simon’s awake and alone when the first firebomb comes through his window: apparently, the ULA fights their own with weapons worse than a drug —
it takes all that for Simon to pinpoint the exact reason he gave up a learned second lifetime for a boy with copper hair and a bad attitude, but his throat still sticks on the words, the word, four letters and a syllable.
So it’s one night, quiet and close and in the innocuous dark he realises Kieren is still awake and Simon says, instead, of words, eight letters and three syllables,
"If I had to do it all again, I would never have gone to the city. Or I would’ve told the Prophet that there’s nothing special about you. Not in the way he wanted.
He wanted someone to move mountains. I just want you.”
