“Saying ‘I can’t live without you’ is pretty much equivalent to saying ‘I’m with you because I don’t have any other choice.’ And that’s fucking stupid. And we’re not gonna do that. I can live without you. I just choose not to. And I’m terrified as fuck, still, by the way. But… I also love you more than I’m afraid.”

“You know how it’s always considered super romantic when people are all, ‘I can’t live without you!’” Blake’s lips twitch, and he nods. “I have a feeling you have thoughts.” “Naturally. Really, which part of that is supposed to be romantic? Saying ‘I can’t live without you’ is pretty much equivalent to saying ‘I’m with you because I don’t have any other choice.’ And that’s fucking stupid. And we’re not gonna do that. I can live without you. I just choose not to. And I’m terrified as fuck, still, by the way. But… I also love you more than I’m afraid.”

“Jude, I told you once you’ve given me two firsts. Well, I was lying even back then. See, there are a few more I failed to mention. I’m going to fix that now. I have never been caught off guard. Until you. I have never been selfless. Until you. I have never met an unforgettable person. Until you. I have never seen a smile stop the world. Until you. I have never wanted to belong with anybody. Until you. I have never wanted a home. Until you. I have never wanted forever. Until you. I have never had my heart so shamelessly stolen. Until you. I have never understood what people mean when they say it’s better to have loved and lost. Until you.”

“What will make you stop?” I ask. He closes his eyes and shakes his head. “Don’t do this.” “What will make you stop?” I repeat. I have to wait an eternity for the answer. “If you ask me to stop,” he eventually says. Another eternity passes. “Then I’m asking you to stop.”

You know you want to, so just take the fucking laptop and fill in that fucking application form to Berklee you’ve been secretly reading and stop fucking pretending like you’re not fucking interested.” I blink at all the fucks he just laid on me.”

“So I do. It’s like a first date with your best friend you’ve had a crush on for ages. At first, you’re nervous and your heart is beating uncomfortably hard, but then you take that first step, press that first key, and suddenly you’re lost in the sound and the keys and time flies, and you have no clue where it went, and you don’t understand why you were ever nervous about something that feels so natural. You stop thinking in English and instead think in music. And you remember. You remember how much you fucking love the piano. Love the feel of the keys underneath your fingers. Love how versatile it is. The rhythm and the melody mixing together perfectly. And the sound of it… You fucking love the sound of a piano. The sweet, dark richness that moves through your whole body. The resonance. The beauty.”

“He buries his head against the side of my neck. He’s everywhere. All around me, inside me. Just him and me. I’ve never felt this way before, because I’ve never done this with anybody who mattered. And Blake matters. More than anybody else. I can’t believe I’m putting myself in this position. Voluntarily. But here we are.”

“Stay?” he whispers into my skin. “You stole my shoes. I kind of have to stay, don’t I?” I glance at him, gaze catching his. “Stay because you want to,” he says softly. In the end, the decision isn’t that difficult. “I’ll stay.”

“It’s hard to breathe for a moment. Attraction is a scary thing. It can so easily grow out of control. You can so easily find that you’ve gone too far and there’s no way back. That you’re in too deep, and there’s no way out.”
