DON’T LEAVE ME // @interdiit

       it took all of john’s strength not to grab gil by the cheeks and- he swallowed… and forced a smile, not daring to break eye contact, for if he did…? he didn’t know what he would do. his chest pounding with a live heart, what that seemed so empty and cold no long ago “you know i will be fine, gilbert, i always am….” his voice soft and warm, as if he was to tell this to a young child. “enough about me… how is that job in france you left so quick to do, huh?” he intended the words to sound joking and light hearted… but it sounded… sad.
