A hand carefully picked up a wooden frame, fingers traced over the picture protected behind glass. A smile ghosted over the man's face as he remembered the moment it was taken.

Two young men, holding hands when they thought no one was looking. Unbeknownst to them a sneaky architect was capturing their private moment. It felt like only yesterday.

Foot steps echoed through the living room as bare feet padded on the wooden floor, signaling Arthur's approach.

Arthur smiled at the back of his long time partner, wrapping a wrinkled hand around the one holding the memory. After all these years together they've been through so much, good and bad.

Eames smiled, turning to place his free hand over the retired point man's heart. He could see his love reflected in Arthur's eyes, something he never tired of looking at.

They stood together in this moment, two older men with years between then and now. The love in their eyes just as strong as it was that day.

"We'll be young forever, darling."

In their memories they were young men together. Even better than that, however, was the life they shared together everyday.
