You hear him sigh softly in your ear and you wonder how you got so lucky. You've won his heart. Out of all of the girls he could have chosen, he picked you.
He's open with you in a way that he's never been with anyone else. You wonder what's so special about you.
You were just his best mate's sister once, but now you're his whole world.
What changed his perception of you?
You want to ask him, but he looks so peaceful and you haven't seen him like this before. So you don't say anything. You merely let him keep hugging you and you gently return the hug.
You can't believe what he's been through and you take a moment to reflect on it. After the experiences he's went through, you know he's broken.
You know he needs your help, and you understand that. You understand all of the things he doesn't say, all of worried looks he sends.
You understand him.
And that's enough for him, apparently. Because you, of all people, are his chosen one.
He's been relied on his entire life and you think it's about time he had someone to rely on.
You place a gentle kiss to his cheek and he beams up at you.
Yes, this is exactly where you're meant to be.
