Alex Mark gave the tiniest smile before letting out a tired sigh. It was weak, but hearing it felt like a miracle. His shoulders slowly relaxed, and the tight grip he had on my shirt loosened. Instead, his hand searched for mine. When our fingers touched, he held on gently, like he just wanted to make sure I was still there. I squeezed his hand back without saying anything. Words suddenly felt too small for everything I was feeling.For a while, neither of us spoke. The room became quiet again except for the sound of his slow breathing. I stared down at him, wondering how one person could make me so angry, so confused, and so terrified all at once. A few minutes ago, I had been ready to walk away from him forever. Now I could not even imagine leaving while he looked this broken. It made no sense, but feelings rarely did.I rested my head lightly against his and closed my eyes for a second. Maybe tomorrow we would fight again. Maybe tomorrow I would remember every reason I should hat

AlexI woke up to Mark staring at me, his eyes heavy but fixed on my face like he had been watching for hours. He looked worn out, body still weak from the night before, but his hand reached out right away and pulled me closer. “Hey ,” he said, voice rough and low. “You stayed. You actually stayed like you promised.” I rubbed my eyes and shifted against him, feeling the heat of his skin. “Yeah I stayed. You were shaking half the night.

He was still too weak to flip me or pin me down hard but he held my hips with both hands and guided me anyway. “That is it,” he whispered as I sank down onto him. “Just like that. You feel so good. Do not stop.” His voic

Mark I watched Alex move around the cabin putting things in a bag and something in my chest tightened so hard I almost could not breathe right. He was mine in a way no one else had ever been and every time I looked at him I saw my brother staring back at me. Marcus had been obsessed with his boyfriend too back then always watching him with that jealous edge in his eyes like he wanted to have him all at once. Now I carried that same look sometimes for Alex, no in fact every time. I really desperately wanted him. It made me want him even more. I needed him to stay right here forever so I could keep that piece of my brother alive through him.“Alex come here,” I said my voice low as I sat on the edge of the bed. He glanced over at me and walked closer even though I could tell part of him still fought it. “You know I cannot do any of this without you right. You keep me going when the seizures try to take me out. You are the only one who gets it.” He sat down next to me and I pulled
