If he looked at the ocean long enough, he could swear that it met the sky.
Eric had been sitting on the beach watching the waves come in for what felt like hours, waiting for Jonathan to come home. He hated that he sat around all day doing nothing while Jonathan worked, but the other man insisted that he needed time to recover.
Recover from what? Eric asked himself with a sigh. His past life? That was a life that he had bought into, a life that he had chosen to live -- albeit with little knowledge of just what the life would entail when he'd entered into it. It wasn't something he could easily recover from.
He didn't want to think about that life now. It was part of the past, a past that he hoped would never come back to haunt him, a past that he wanted to keep behind him. He had started a new life, one that was full of live and light rather than the darkness he had thought would always surround him.
He'd been lifted out of that darkness and into the clouds, into a place where only happiness surrounded him. Eric had no doubt that there would be a time when he and Jon had their disagreements, yes, but he couldn't imagine them not being able to work things out between them.
His former life had given him no hope for a future; now, he had all the hope in the world. Jon had opened up new horizons to him, lifted him to the skies and beyond. Jon was everything he'd ever wanted, everything he'd ever needed; them finding each other had been a miracle.
Who would have guessed when they had smiled at each other that first day, before they'd even spoken, that Jon would come to mean so much to him? He could still hardly believe that the darkness was behind him, that he'd been able to walk away from it and into a life of light and love.
He was living amongst the clouds now, he told himself with a frown. But would there come a time when he'd have to descend from these lofty heights? Was this just borrowed time, time that he had stolen that would have to be paid back in full?
He didn't want to think like that. He wanted to believe that he and Jon would be together forever, that nothing would ever be able to tear them apart. He had to believe that. Because if he didn't, then that darkness that was was still waiting for him would obliterate him completely.
Eric closed his eyes, envisioning clouds, hoping that they would blot out the darkness forever.
