With every passing day, each seemingly growing shorter and shorter than the next, he wondered when he had first started to feel this way. Why did he so desperately want to prove to himself that no matter the odds, or that how much his craving to give up grew, that he would always win?
That he couldn't say he knew the answer to. And to be honest, he also wasn't sure if he could ever let himself lose this game of attrition, not when he's already lasted this long.
The mask he's worn for most of his life may be falling apart at the seams, but his smile wasn't going to fade away along with it.
That part of his mask crumbled away a long time ago.
At least he hoped so.

Here Comes the Sun (Complete)
Toby was never good at reading people or understanding certain signs -- so of course, he wouldn't be the one to realize when someone actually wanted to return his affections. It usually took more than just a sign for him, but he could be a fast learner sometimes. Sometimes. A TobyxTimxBrian story, cause we need more of these on here. If you like this one, I've written and finished the 'prequel' called Tear In My Heart and a sequel called Glad You Came, so go check that out when you can!Complete
When the rain clouds disappear
Aaron felt that rain clouds surrounded him and he was perfectly comfortable with that, he didn't like people- end of story. That is until Keira, the personification of sunlight and his new next door neighbour comes along and flips his entire love for solitude on its head. Then the rain clouds begin to disappear... Aaron sat and listened to me as shadows danced off his jaw, I watched as it flexed. "I cant believe anyone could find you too much" he said looking almost perplexed by the idea of it. "I mean your laugh, your voice, your smile, it all fits you so perfectly" My breath hitched at his words. No one had ever said that to me it felt almost like a confession of some sorts. Intimately whispered in the soft lighting of my kitchen like a secret being told. I laughed then to break the intense atmosphere that had taken over but it just made his eyes crinkle and his dimples appear. "Oh" was all I could say. I was actually speechless. I mean what could I say to that without spilling my guts to him. Hi! This is a grumpy x sunshine, next door neighbour, he's obsessed with her and she's oblivious to it romcom. Also this is my first ever attempt at writing so please leave any feedback/ improvements you feel I can make in the comments lol. Also I don't usually read over my writing so sorry for any mistakes.Complete
