I'm everything I am
because you loved me
- 'Because You Love Me' by Celine Dion
ABCs of Love
Memories
M is for Memories
Eric remembers the first time Tim told him he loved him. It was awkward, amazing, and frightening. Tim had only said, "I love you" to scare him like nothing ever did. He ran away, as if his life depended on it.
At the time, it had seemed like a sensible reaction. And yet, it was strange. He had expected Tim to chase after him. But he never did.
So he did the next sensible reaction – he ignored Tim. At the end of the first week and with no contact, he started to feel concerned. By the second and still nothing, he started to rethink his feelings. By the third, he had finally got the nerve to call him.
Tim, being sarcastic as usual, questioned why he didn't call sooner. Eric realized that Tim was lucky that he had loved him back or else he would have hanged up on him.
FIN.
