(Before I forget again: this is Dex.)

T__T I'm so delighted that this has turned into a series. I'm a giant sap okay, and I just want everyone to get a happily ever after. /o\ There's so much emotion bubbling under the surface of this - they've both been waiting and wanting for so long and I love love love that it's Sean who eventually takes the leap and tries to change things. I also love how Viggo is actually really emotional on the inside, almost violently so, even if he doesn't (can't?) show what he's feeling to Sean.

This whole thing is gorgeous but just a few lines that especially stood out to me:

A leap of faith required more acrobatics than he had ever been capable of, but Viggo thought that maybe he could take tiny little steps instead.

His eyes spoke differently, but Sean knew better than to trust his own sight, because there was always the possibility of lies.

if Viggo would one day wrap the sharp thorns of reality within the cotton balls of words.

He took a deep breath, felt the words he spoke solidify in the air instead of disappearing like he had always feared and almost hoped they would.

“One day,” Sean smiled, and he tipped his head back to let Viggo’s hand splay on his throat, to feel the beating of his pulse. There was life there, and perhaps it was a cliché, but Viggo could not help the burst of hope within his heart. A breeze from the sea, breaking the dull, dry heat of summer.

And ughhh just everything about their first kiss, so long in the making. *___* It ends on such a lovely note - things are still unresolved but there's unmistakeable hope there, too. Augh I love this. <33333
