Pride solangelo because yes
I stand in the dark outside his door.
Raise my hand to knock.
All is quiet.
I let my hand fall.
I put my ear to the door.
The sounds that woke me from my fitful sleep have ceased.
The sounds of fear. Of pain.
I turn to leave. I want to stay. I want to stand by his bed and watch him sleep, but I don’t.
He moans.
I turn back.
“John,” I say.
He whimpers.
I open the door. Just a crack.
“John,” I repeat.
He doesn’t answer, and now I hear his rapid breathing. Fragments of words.
“Murr…waa…no!”
I push the door open.
He’s tangled in the sheets, and the moonlight shows the sweat on his brow. His torment makes my heart ache. I can only imagine what horrors live in his dreams.
So much pain. So much loss.
My brave soldier.
I sit on the bed. Place my hand on his shoulder.
“John.”
His eyes open. Wild and searching.
But I’m not the enemy.
He relaxes.
I lie beside him. Pull him to me.
He lets me.
I cradle him against my chest. I stroke his hair.
He sobs.
“I’ve got you,” I say. I kiss his forehead, then stop, afraid I’ve overstepped.
“Don’t stop,” he whispers. “Stay.”
And I think my heart might burst.
Beautiful.

This is from me
To you
(Yes, you.)
Don’t worry
Everything is going to be okay
Because there are trees
And sky
And stars
And clouds
There is beauty everywhere
In fences
And cobwebs
And sunsets
And the mirror
And even if you can’t see it
I can
And I know that everything might be terrible right now
But the sun still comes up and the moon still shines
And the stars go on forever and ever and cast the same light over everyone
But everyone appreciates them differently
And the sun comes up
And the clouds always go away
And everything is going to be wonderful
Because you’re wonderful
And Beautiful
And clever
And funny
And interesting
And everything you’re afraid that you’re not
A good person
A great person
No matter what your brain tells you
No matter what you think other people may think
You’re an amazing person
And you’re still part of this amazing world
Full of amazing people
And if you weren’t in it
Then the whole world would be less amazing.
The whole world
And I would be sad
You’re wonderful
You matter.
Don’t you ever forget that
And that’s all I wanted to say
Will: I love you, you are the cutest and most wonderful to ever live. I want to live with you and love you forever
Nico: *in a battle, constantly dodging arrows* c-can we do this later
Will: why are you hugging a bottle of water?
Nico: I was sad and you weren’t here so I had to settle for a bottle of water.

Will: suicide is never the answer!
Nico: it may not be the answer but it’s always an option.
Will: a-are…are you okay?
