[Caleb remembered this feeling, the weight of Essek draped over him, grounding him and his anxious, racing thoughts. The world had always seemed so much gentler and brighter in these moments, and it still did. It ached in him how long Essek had been without him, how long it had been before fate had brought Bren and the pieces of Caleb locked away inside him back to the other half of his soul.]
We will do it together. You and me... all of me. [The him that was Caleb, the him that was Bren. They would find a way to let the two unite the way they were meant to.
He tilted his chin to meet that kiss, humming softly.] I will always be yours. There is nothing in this world or any other that can change that. But rest, my love. We will be here to guard you until the sun has set. I am very pleased to be able to do this now, ja? It is a privilege. [A pause to press a kiss to his lips once more, soft and fleeting and gentle.] Sleep now.
