Rating: PG
Word Count: 108
Summary: He'll tell her everything if she promises to forget. (Recon spoilers, prompt - return, written for lost_in_108 )
He returns every night to sit beside her, to whisper secrets in the dark. Fondness of an old pet's shenanigans, frustration over Jacob's latest grievance. Some nights he hums, broken echoes of his father lulling him to sleep.
His mother smiles through her dreams, and his chest tightens. She's never beautiful in daylight, without stars dancing on soft curls, lashes brushing rosy cheeks. His fingers slip over her wrist, and for a moment he wishes...
Blue eyes greet him when he steps outside. "I know why do you that," the boy mumbles. "You're afraid she'll love you back."
He looks away. "What would you know about love, Jacob?"
