Prologue: Birthdays
It was not the same, celebrating his birthday in the hostel all alone. He thought he would have gotten used to it by now, but he was wrong. There were some things that took a whole life to get used to, and there were others that you never got used to.
And this was one of them.
Not that he was ever going to admit it to him.
It did not matter that he had new friends whom he called family now; it was not the same. Funny how he would keep comparing this to what he used to have. When he left that day one year ago, he had sworn to leave everything behind him. Everything. But it seemed that it was not the case.
If it were, his heart would not ache whenever he heard his name.
If it were, his tears would not fall when he lay himself to sleep at night.
It was funny, how he could hate a person so much, yet love him just as much. He did not understand; it was a constant struggle that went on even now. How could anything so contradictory in nature feel so right together? How could two opposites ever be one? He did not understand.
The candlelight flickered and danced. He watched as the melted wax traveled down the candle sluggishly; he should blow it out soon. They used to blow out the candles together, but no more.
How he missed him.
He closed his eyes and made a wish. A very simple wish.
The instant he blew out the candle, his phone started to ring.
His wish had come true.
A/N: I know I shouldn't be starting on yet another fic when my other fic's still unfinished. But I was so inspired I really wanted to write this. The prologue does not give away much I suppose, but that leaves more space for imagination until I update it, ne?
