In His Eyes
So his choice wasn't exactly conventional.
Others might have preferred handsomeness over affection. Others would have gone for the safe (and, well, 'popular') option instead of the risky, dicey chance. Others wouldn't have bothered for a certain someone he was so fond of after all this time.
But in his eyes, in his spirits, there was only one, and one only that mattered. Perhaps to others – others – it wasn't a matter of fondness, of instinct: it was a matter of weaknesses, of inducement – nothing else but the sick veracity of being unwanted. It was almost brutal.
To him, it wasn't only attachment in itself: the choice he made, the sacrifices he did – she made them worth for. It was such an effortless sacrifice for him: almost an instinct, an amalgamation of them both. His need – he needed her as much as she needed him – a romantic need. She was his weakness.
He chose to be a Scarecrow. He chose to be a Scarecrow to be with her. He chose to be her Scarecrow.
