Seasons #1

Sage

Azrael is sitting at his desk next to me and I can't help but wonder what he's thinking about. He's been very happy and nice to me lately. I need to know what he's thinking about. I need to know how he's feeling. He doesn't tell me his thoughts.
The bell rings for class to be over. I wait for him by the door. I grab his hand when he walks out and he pulls it away.
"I'm too anxious today. I don't want to hold your hand right now. I just want to be alone." He says and walks past me. I run to catch up with him.
  "Azrael, please wait. What's wrong?" I ask him.
"I just - " he sighs and leans on his crutches. "I'm in pain and I've been on edge ever since the accident. I have this constant panic that something bad is going to happen." He stands up straight. "I hate it. I don't understand it."
I take his backpack from him and carry for him. "Let me walk you out, please?"
He nods and I follow him outside.
"I want to know what you're thinking about right now." I say as he sits down in the bench to wait for his ride.
"You." He replies very calmly. "I'm always thinking about you. I'm always thinking about how lucky I am to have met you. I have been thinking very hard about my feelings for you lately. I've come to an understanding with them." He looks me in the eyes and smiles lifting up his blue eyes. "I love you, Sage Lanore. I really do."
I tear up and hug him tightly. "Oh Azrael. I love you so much. I'm so proud of you for allowing yourself to heal. You're doing so amazing." I let go of him and smile at him. He wipes a tear from my cheek and kisses me softly on the lips.
A car pulls up and beeps. He pulls away and smiles at me. 
"I can't wait to spend more time with you and create good memories." He kisses me softly one more and takes his backpack from me. He walks to the car and waves at me from the window.
I wave back at him and watch as he pulls away.
Azrael Roquel, the broken angel who has allowed me to show him what life is really like. He's allowed me to show him what real love feels like. I will continue to show him how amazing the world really is. I will love him until the very end.
