"Oh shit I am so sorry." I looked in horror as my hot chocolate cup went flying onto a lady. I went running towards her trying to save her neat outfit with my waste of a handkerchief. She just sighed, "It's OK. I will handle it no need to worry." She looked me in the eyes and gave me a kind smile. I could see the disgust in her eyes she was trying to hide looking at the splatter. It seems like she is not a fan of hot chocolate. On a side note her eyes, were a beautiful shade of chocolate brown. "I am so sorry please let me buy you some new clothes as an apology." I snapped out of my thoughts. Her smile remained on her face. " That's fine. I do have some spare in my car. I work nearby, so it's not an issue. You have a nice day." saying so she disappeared. If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again. We are written in the stars, and I will wait as long as it takes. I'll wait and gently help you heal.

Title: Feral Grace Genre: Contemporary Romance, Drama, Tragedy to Healing Arc, Slice of Life, AU There are boys who are born into sunshine. Who run, laugh, scrape their knees on playgrounds, and grow up surrounded by warmth. JL was not one of them. He was born with a heart that beat too softly, too carefully, like it knew it wasn't built to last. Hospital rooms replaced bedrooms. IV drips stood taller than any toy. His childhood was a blur of machines, muted conversations behind doors, and parents who loved him in separate silences. Love, JL learned, didn't always stay. He didn't blame them. Not anymore. People break in different ways. Some slowly, some all at once. But JL-he simply faded. Quietly. Gracefully. Like he was preparing to leave before the world ever asked him to. He stopped hoping. Not out of bitterness, but because even hope became too heavy to carry. And yet-just as life pulled the final thread-something impossible happened. He survived. And with that survival came a new story. A heart that wasn't his. A life he never expected. And a love that would both mend and undo him. Because sometimes, miracles come with shadows. And sometimes, the hardest thing isn't dying. It's learning how to live.
