I'm everything I am
because you loved me
- 'Because You Love Me' by Celine Dion
ABCs of Love
Kiwis
K is for Kiwis
Tim likes kiwis.
Eric always wondered why but unfortunately, Tim would not tell him. But sometimes Eric thinks Tim cares about them more then people.
However, when Tim holds the fruit, he's smiling - content as he rotates it in his hand. He's not sarcastic, not detached from the world - he's actually happy. It's odd but amazing.
Sometimes, Tim catches Eric staring at the fruit as he tries to study it to understand, but Eric doesn't see a thing. It has a soft fuzzy texture to it; it can be sweet but tangy. To Eric, it's just a fruit, a simple fruit and nothing else.
Eric believes there must be a hidden story along with the fruit, something deeper and personal. He wants to ask, but doesn't. One day, he hopes, Tim would like him the way that he likes kiwis. Until then, nothing is more important than them.
FIN.
