Alex tapped at the window. He watched raindrops run down the glass. In the distance alexa was playing some love song that used to make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. He still wasn't used to coming home to an empty place. He kept forgetting to feed miku, who was just as confused when Declan didn't rush through the door and give her pets at the end of the day.
The cat jumped into the little nook where Alex was curled up. She could always sense when he wasn't feeling good. He smiled and stroked her soft little head. She liked scratches when he had his acrylics on, but his stubby natural nails would suffice.
His mind drifted to their last cosplay. It was their nine month anniversary...
They went to a film festival dressed as Westley and Princess Buttercup from the Princess Bride. "Do the line... Please.." Alex urged, batting his eyelashes. Declan gave in. He looked into Alex's eyes and brushed a blonde strand of hair behind his ear.
"As you wish."
Alex's face glowed and his cheeks grew warm. He buried his face into Declans chest. "That's all.. farm boy." He laughed.
Happy memories..
Alex retreated to his bed, hoarded with stuffed animals, where he laid and listened to evermore.
"Listen... Remember how I mentioned I wanted to serve overseas if I got the chance..?"
