Achilles and Patroclus (Jacklyn)

BROOK'S POV
I closed my eyes for a few seconds enjoying the feel of his lips on mine.

His lips were so soft, almost velvety. Each time it seemed to me as if I were coming into contact with the petals of a rose, the most delicate rose; I enjoyed the sweet flavor, intense on them, and... my God how addicted I was to this flavor!

After so many years, for me, it was still unknown why he had chosen me. He, if perfection had truly existed, would have been seen as pure perfection.

I was clumsy, my movements, many times, almost made us laugh; in battle all this was even more evident. Not him, he was quite the opposite; his movements followed a cadence rhythm, a rhythm that by now I had perfectly memorized.

"Don't do it." I had just opened my eyes, but on hearing these two words so simple and so deep at the same time, I immediately closed them again. In my throat I felt like a lump that did not allow me to speak, but even if I had spoken, what could I ever say?

He was my first and only love and it was fine like that. I didn't need anyone but him. How did I know? There are things you just know.

The first time he chose me we were both eleven years old. I don't know if he chose to be my friend, he was probably just pushed by something inside, maybe it was that same thing that pushed me towards him too. That same thing that said to me "it's him, look at him. Yes, he is the person you have always been unconsciously looking for". This was the first time he chose me and all the other times that followed I was always and consistently the only option to choose.

I have always been the first option, the only option and it was something I loved, yet this time I had the hope of not being his first choice, not for this...

I was his first choice in love and also his last. This was something I just couldn't understand, he could have men and women, everyone hung on his lips, everyone loved him, everyone wanted him. Then there was me, I was... I was me.

"I love you." Why it was so hard to keep my eyes open I just didn't know. Perhaps it was the fault of the tears that I was desperately trying to hold back, perhaps it was the fault of the infinity of words that I could read in his eyes. I always said "your eyes are the most beautiful books I've ever read".

"I love you too." And no, there had never been anyone and there would never have been anyone I would have loved the way I loved him. That was exactly why I was doing it, because I loved him.

"If you love me don't do it"

"Achilles-"

"Out there" he pointed with his finger where our tent opened to the camp, "there is something stronger than earth and air, fire and water-"

"Don't say it, please."

"Our love, Patroclus, our love!"

And now? What could I do now? What could I ever do?

I belonged to him, he belonged to me, born to be together, born to love us. This was the two of us.

Our fingers were made to intertwine together, our lips were made to kiss, our bodies were made to warm each other, to share their own warmth, our hearts were made to beat together and to beat because they were together.

I had absolutely no strength in me to do what I wanted to do, but he, on the other hand, wasn't helping me at all.

I understood, he didn't want to let me go, but maybe it would go right, maybe our love would win. Thinking about it he had said it... "there is something stronger than earth and air, fire and water".

I let myself go into his arms, finding comfort in the only safe place I had ever had.

From the first moment he had become my safe place, the only place where I felt safe and with the blink of an eye everything disappeared. No, finding the words to express what I felt for him was not possible, let's just say that a love like ours has remained forever in the history of the times.

"Hey, look me in the eye." But I didn't look at him, I was completely lost in the vastness of that intense green that dominated his eyes. These eyes had power, they could calm me down in a second and no one had ever done that before. "I don't want to lose you, your death is my death"

"We will be together forever even in the afterlife."

"But first I want to be with you on earth." His arms gently tightened around me, drawing me even closer to him. I inhaled his scent, that scnet I was so addicted to, the word "home" exploded inside me and I gently let myself be lulled into that comforting warmth until my eyes closed.

His regular heartbeat and well-timed breathing were driving me more and more into a deep and long desired sleep. I was not, however, completely asleep when I heard these words, words spoken with a love that made my heart beat faster than I expected. "I can't risk losing you."

"You don't have to be afraid of this because I will never leave you."

"Ever and never? It's a promise?"

"It's a promise.", I murmured; a small smile made room on my lips when I felt her smile come into contact with my skin.

Hi everyone!
I'm sorry for putting aside the oneshots but I had to.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to publish here but I'll do my best.
My idea is to keep publishing the oneshots and I have no intentions to stop so don't even think I'll discontinue it😊

I love writing and I'm not gonna stop❤
