I follow behind him, always two paces back and one to the right. I keep my face blank and my emotions concealed.
Happiness shared in childhood. All of the time spent walking back and forth from my school and sharing secrets with each other.
Horror in Ishbal. The bloodstained battlefield. Night after night of nightmares. None of it shows on his face either.
Loyalty to his dreams. Hours spent plotting how to get him promoted faster and forcing him to do paperwork.
Fear that accomplishing his dreams may kill him, but pushing forward regardless.
Love for the fool beneath the uniform, making sure he eats proper meals and keeps his apartment in order. Protecting his back and keeping him breathing. He does the same for me, despite my silent protests.
It is worth it when, every once in a while, he looks back to me and I allow myself a small smile. He smiles back.
I wait for the day when we will no longer have to hide our emotions, where I can walk by his side instead of a few paces behind.
I feel it is coming soon.
