In The End - Linkin Park
"What did you say?" Aaron asked.
"It doesn't matter." Reid muttered.
"To me, it does. What did you say?" Aaron persisted.
"Really, it doesn't matter." Reid said.
"No, it does." Aaron said, again.
"I said I love you, okay!" Reid shouted, startling Aaron. "You see! It doesn't matter. In the end, nothing matters!" Aaron was stunned by Reid's response. Reid, realising what he had said, covered his mouth. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he murmured. He turned and was about to run away when Aaron grasped his wrist. "I told you," he said. "It does matter. Because I love you." Reid went still.
"I don't believe you," he said, cautiously. He allowed himself to be pulled back around to face Aaron. Aaron tugged him closer and cupped his face in one hand, while still holding onto Reid's wrist in the other. "I love you," he repeated. Reid looked at him suspiciously, not wanting to be hurt if this all turned out to be a joke. Aaron kissed him, gently. "Trust me, please," he whispered. Reid closed his eyes.
"Okay." Aaron kissed each of his eyelids, then his mouth again.
"Thank you," he whispered against it. Reid opened his eyes and smiled.
