“Why didn’t you say anything to us?” Rooks’ voice is choked with disbelief. Sorrow maybe that he didn’t question me sooner. “Why’d you suffer alone?” I look at him, knowing his soft heart will take the blame for this. That he will leave here and hate himself for not being someone I could trust with this. Like it was his fault. But Rook has never been to blame. He’s always been a solace for me. A person who I could just exist around without being drained. He’s fuel for my soul. Always has been. Forever will be.
i love their bond so much 🥲
