"I want to see you."

(his voice is so tiny
that's it's almost impossible to hear
over the roar of the wind outside)

Iggy presses himself tightly against Fang's body,
and he can hear Fang's heart
slowly thrumming in his chest.

"I want to see you,"
Iggy says again,
and Fang takes Iggy's tiny hand
and places it on his chest.

(there is a desperate look
in those glassy eyes,
and Fang wonders if
it's from the tears
that Iggy
never
shed)

"Fang,"
those smooth lips are warm against Fang's neck.

"I want to see you."

(it's a plea
that is coming from the child
that Iggy thought he had buried
deep within his heart.)

Fang doesn't say a word.
Instead, he presses his body tighter against Iggy's
and brings Iggy's hands to his face.

(Pale, skinny hands trace his face,
soft and gentle like feathers,
feeling the (un)familiar contours
of his face.)

"You're so beautiful, Fang."
Iggy whispers,
and Fang pulls him into a kiss
that is filled with love that doesn't need to be spoken.

(Iggy doesn't need his eyes to see.
His hands are enough.)
