[ well, this didn’t end up anywhere near where he thought it was going — but maybe it makes sense. somebody armand loved (or still loves, probably, the way you do) must be good, too.
he’ll overthink it again, closer to the time. for now, louis makes him feel better about it. like the invite is a show of faith, rather than a secret test (even if it’s both, in the end). ]
Thanks, old timer. I’ll make sure I get my vegetables.
[ there’s another sun-warmed feeling, different from the last. like somebody ruffling your hair. like jake elbowing him on the walk back from the gym. the kind of companionship he didn’t have before the team. ]
