[centre][color=tan][b][h1]Cody[/h1][/b][/color][/centre] [@BlackPanther] There was so much that Cody wanted to say… to do… so much that he wished he could wipe away for Aron, to wipe away all the pain and suffering he had suffered at the hands of people that should have been there to care for him, to provide a home. He wanted to wipe it all away, and replace them with good memories, happy memories. He knew if he could do that, it would change who Aron was. It wouldn't change how Cody felt about him, but it was Aron’s… positivity in the face of everything that Cody admired. How he could be so… amazing given everything. Cody sighed softly. You couldn't change the past. He watched Aron rise, go over to the painting, watching him closely. He hugged Aron back tightly when he returned, trying to put into action everything he felt about Aron, everything he couldn't find the words for. There simply were no words for what Cody felt. There was nothing he wouldn't do for Aron. Nothing. He didn't simply love him. It was a love with every fibre of his being, heart, mind and soul. And beyond. There were no words, at least in english, that could describe that. When Aron kissed him, Cody returned it, letting himself feel everything that kiss brought to mind, the simple feeling of knowing that this was right, that they were meant to be. The warmth that spread through him… the tingles that the kiss inspired… the way it seemed to last forever and… then was over way too quickly. He lowered his head to nuzzle Aron, his cheeks flushed, his heart beating just a little bit faster. [color=tan]“I'm glad you like it… i want to find the perfect frame… i want you to have it, forever. I'm going to make it last.”[/color] that simple happiness in the image deserved to last forever. The innocence of the twins… the happiness of the family… it was as it should be, yet in this day and age, it seemed few and far between. [color=tan]“I love you Aron, and I'd give you the world if i could”[/color] he said softly, hugging Aron tightly. He was silent for a few moments, before he said [color=tan]“did you want to go get some new things? You're going to need it, and Zoè has her hands full”[/color] he said, wanting to stay where they were, but knowing they had responsibilities. [color=tan]“and maybe we can get something for Syleste and sebastian too, they might like that cooped up in the hospital”[/color]
