Summary: It took him a few years, but Corbyn does eventually learn that their love, even though it hurts sometimes, makes him stronger. Or, their love as told by Corbyn

Corbyn's POV
"So baby hold on to my heart, oh, oh
Need you to keep me from falling apart
I'll always hold on
'Cause you make me strong"
" Bean?" I heard from my door, Zach's tiny head poking into my room.

I wiped away my tears as fast as possible, sitting up in my bed with to smile at the younger. Ignoring the ache it sent through my right cheek.

" Zach, what is it? Is something wrong?" I hoped there wasn't a tremble to my voice. I didn't want him knowing what had happened. He didn't need to know that.

" I... I-I heard Mommy yelling at you. I just... I...", the five year old stammered helplessly, tripping over his own tongue.

I melted a little for him. Zach was one of the only boys in the world that could leave me a puddle with just a few words.

Only boy.

Only boy.

" Come here, I wanna tell you something," patting gently at my red and black cover.

He grinned at me, shutting the door quick before running over to climb on, wiggling a closer to me.

I reached over to flick on my plasma ball on my bedside table, giggling at the way it made his face glow candy-pink.

I grabbed at one of his hands, pressing it to my chest.

" Do you know what this is?" I whispered low, as if it were a secret.

My brother leaned closer on instinct," umm... your tummy?" Looking at where his hand met my pajama shirt with drawn eyebrows.

" Close," a giggle rumbling from my throat, squeezing gently at his hand," this is my heart. Can you feel it beating?"

He leaned even closer, staring hard as if he would be able to see it. I laughed again, a little louder this time, hoping the shake of my chest wouldn't muffle the thump of my heart.

But I couldn't help it! My little brother was too cute.

Then, he lit up, nodding quickly and happily up at me.

" Good. Now, I need you to do something really, really important for me, okay?"

His nodding continued, grinning bright all the while," okay."

I laid my other hand atop his, looking directly into those big, doe-brown eyes of his," I need you to hold on to it for me, okay? Can you keep it safe?"

He gasped, pulling back with his mouth hanging open," really? M-me?" Pointing at himself," why me?"

I grinned, dipping down to bump our foreheads," because I trust you more than anyone else in the whole universe. I know you'll keep it safe no matter what. That you'll keep it strong."

Because I'm not allowed to love anyone else.

Because she won't be mad if it's you.
