"all passengers boarding the one-way trip to florence, italy may begin boarding the plane, we will be taking off soon," an officiant calls out, and aidan's heart tightens in his chest.

a tear builds up in everett's eye, and he wipes it away.

"remember," aidan whispers, fighting back tears of his own. remember this. remember us. remember me. "remember that i love you, okay?"

everett nods, and he kisses him quickly one more time before walking towards the exit to the plane, not turning back once, because he's afraid if he turns around one more time, he will run back into everett's arms and never leave.
