He is so childlike while he sleeps. His eyelashes rest ever so gently against his flawless skin. His lips curl into a gentle smile while he dreams what I hope are sweet dreams.
Not many people get to see this side of him. They get to see only the tough side, the front. They don't get to see him for who he really is. This side of him is who he really is.
He's young and breakable. Though he doesn't want to show it, his past haunts him. All of those long, terrible day of a past he longs to forget will not let go. His eyes are filled with a pain that most people see as brave. I am one of the few people who knows what his eyes really say.
Even in sleep, I know his eyes aren't sleeping. They have seen too much. They know that at any spilt second everything and anything could go wrong. There, he never truly sleeps, only rests.
Until his eyes rest, he will never fully be freed. I believe we will never see a fully free Four. There's just too much that he keeps buried. I wish he would tell someone, even if it's not me. He can't keep it all inside.
In his eyes, I can see all of this. His eyes are like that new book that I've been dying to read.
As always...Thanks for reading!
