Part 3

          Eli awoke first feeling Naib's light breath pushing against his face. He rubbed his eyes, that had been burning from how much he had wept in the previous day. The blue eyed boy relaxed back into the others chest not having many other options due to the strong grip Naib's arms had on him. Eli laid there in the near silence only hearing Naib's steady heart beat, but he didn't like when it was silent because it made him think... He thought of the blonde that was previously his lover, he wanted the pain to go away so badly. Eli tried to distract himself, so he looked up at Naib and brought his hand up to push the boys long hair out of his face. The boy took his hand back and leaned back into the shorters chest while trying not to have his eyes overflow. Unfortunately Eli's need for affection became to strong and he wrapped his arms around the other and pushed his head into Naib's chest, letting the tears spill over.
          Naib woke to the others shaking from crying, he wanted to relive Eli of the pain he felt, but knew he couldn't. Naib pulled Eli in closer and stroked his hair with one hand, and softly said "if your ready you can talk to me." Eli stayed still for a bit, but then moved to wipe his eyes and say "I'm sorry i'm slowing you down, you shouldn't have to deal with me.." The shorter boy responded by pulling Eli closer and responded with "You aren't slowing me down I'm choosing to stay with you, and my plan was to stay with you forever as long as it isn't a problem for you.." Eli froze, not expecting that response, but continued on to rub his eyes and respond with "Okay, t-thank you, I need you.." Naib's heart skipped a beat from hearing those words, but cupped Eli's cheeks, rubbed his wet under eyes and gave the taller a wide smile. Eli responded with a weak smile that made the other blush.
          They laid wrapped up into each other's arms, being with Naib like that provided Eli with a large amount of comfort. They both would lay there for all of eternity if it were up to them, but Eli's stomach made a loud noise. Naib asked "Do you want to get something to eat?" followed by a giggle. Eli made a small laugh and nodded, they then walked down the hall and ate the leftovers from the day before. They sat on the couch and ate, when they were done Eli layed is head on Naib's shoulder. Naib grabbed a blanket and threw it over himself and the taller boy, Eli curled up into Naib's side. Naib knew Eli was exhausted, but they needed to do some things, so he asked Eli "what are we going to do with the house." Eli responded with "I want to sell it and move away if that's ok."  Naib nodded and tucked the blanket around Eli and said "I need to do a couple of things." Eli yawned and nodded.
         Naib had gone to order a gravestone and a coffin for the lifeless body the two boys had been trying to ignore.
