'You taught me the courage of stars before you left.
How light carries on endlessly, even after death.
With shortness of breath
You explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to exist.
I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again.
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen.
I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time,
That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes.
With shortness of breath
I'll try to explain the infinite
How rare and beautiful it is to even exist.
With shortness of breath
I'll try to explain the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist.'

- 'Saturn' song by Sleeping At Last

It is the afternoon of the day we are going to plant Manon's tree and I am laying down on our bed, Freddie is in the kitchen cooking up some lunch for us all, it also happens to be my birthday.

Sigh.

I have decided that I won't be celebrating my birthday this year- neither of them have really gone well, my 17th was a sit down dinner with my adoptive parents where we all sat in a awkward silence and for my 18th I was in a coma...so yeah.

I won't even mention it to the others because really, what's the point?

The anniversary of my relationship with Freddie is also coming up to 2 years...2 years? I really can't believe that we have been through so much and yet we are still together. Makes me wonder how long we can last for, how long we can stand to be in each others company, how long we will live, if the possibility of us getting married ever pops up, if we'll ever have kids.

Hmm.

Sitting up on the ege of the bed I listen out throughout the bunker with my unfortunate Lightmir hearing, closing my eyes to really concentrate on listening I manage to decipher which rooms are occupied and exactly who are occupying them, I have begun to understand and figure out just by sounds the people who live with me, I can tell who is moving about without really having to try.

Freddie is in the kitchen being his super loud self and singing to himself, I let a small smile apppear on my face as I hear him singing- the sound bringing so many happy scenes to flood my mind, moving on to the next room I am pretty sure Jay is in the bathroom, the sound of the shower being so loud I quickly move away from that room, in the bedroom next to ours there seems to be a strange presence, maybe Cairo? I don't know if I am right but it feels as if it might be him even though he feels completely off.

Shaking my head I move on further through the bunker, hearing someone walking down the hall that leads from the living room, moving closer and closer to our bedroom, immediately recognising the steps, Tal's smiling face fills up my mind, getting to my feet I walk over to the door and wait by it, listening out carefully, hearing her getting closer and closer until she knocks on our door.
