Love.

What is love?

Love is a quiet emotion that in time becomes part of the oxygen you need to breathe, and so though you may not feel sure that it's there, any form of removal and the emotions begin to choke.

He aches when he sees her smile. He wanted it directed towards him. For him. Because of him. He wants to bring her joy; be the source of those lit eyes and dimpled cheeks.

He watches her bring so much happiness to those around her. He wants to give her the warmth she's given him. She still manages to find beauty in this cruel world.

She tries so hard to do so well. She's worked hard. She fought for every step, even if it wasn't always in the right direction. He knows she wants to fly but she's soaring down here.

He's afraid. He's so afraid she'll crash. That he'll have to watch it happen. He aches to think there's no way for him to help her if she does.

But he will still wants her.

Sometimes it becomes a source of guilt. He feels he has no place in her life, so why does he keep following her like this?

If she noticed, he's scared what she'd think of him. He's never been heartbroken before. For that he's sometimes glad she doesn't know.

But what he doesn't know is that she needs him more than ever.

Will she ever see him the way he sees her? Is a constant worry of his? If she knew, if he told her; what would she think? That's one of his biggest fears other than losing her. Sometimes he's left wondering if she will ever be his. Maybe it would be better for both of them if he let her fade from his life, back out of it as if she was never there.

As if she never came back...

But he can't let go, and deep down she doesn't want him to. He thinks back to the moments when they were kids, how he's been inlove with her since then. Did she ever read the words he did, the ones a child hasn't forgotten?

The words were 'kindred spirt'. They made him think of Sofía. Is that truth or was it his wish?

His instinct is that it's true.

But in the same thought he knew she wouldn't agree, but little did he know how wrong he was.

She had the same thoughts and feelings but doesn't know how to share them. She has a different approach to Stiles instead of nervous she was confident even if on the inside her stomach is filled with butterflies on the outside, she has a strong front, she always put on a strong front.

He wants to be there.

He wants to be there late and night to hold her, to make the bad dreams go away. To heal what's be broken ever since that dreaded day because he knew that the cuts may heal and the scars may fade, but the damage that it caused her was never ending.
