here and now

"I just want something to go right," You know? There was a certain desperation to his voice that she knew all too well, but could never reveal. She wondered what would happen if she let herself be weak, let everyone see. Things would really go to shit then. She answered his question with a kiss. Her fingers trailing down his scars. They could be together here and now.

They had had their moments in the sun. He had stayed at her side for years, often times being the only one who believed her. He had never expected to love anyone this much and then felt silly because it was the clearest thing to him since he had met her, kicking up again and harder than before every time he got to talk to her. Every time he got closer to knowing her. There was a person in there, behind the armor and responsibilities. There was a person who needed him.

That would have to be enough for the both of them. Even if it was the hardest thing and there felt like something was very wrong -- a dark web sweeping across the distance they had somehow managed to close. They had to breathe out and accept it.
