When they were 18
He loved the way her hair fell around her shoulders, the way she smiled when he touched her and they way she would laugh as she kissed him.
She loved the way he slung his arm over her whenever he stood next to her, they way he would grin when he made eye contact and the way the played with her hair as she dozed next to him.
He made the suits of armour tell jokes when someone walked past.
She giggled and realised some things never change.
He started to prepare for a world that was getting darker every day.
She started to prepare for a world that scared her a little.
He ended the school year with a bang, literally. He and his friends threw a farewell party.
She spent the night laughing and crying, promising everyone that it wasn’t really goodbye.
He left school, bought a flat, and began to train to fight a war he was too young to fight in.

He worried when he heard her throwing up one morning.
She worried when he joked she might be pregnant.
He knew there would be day when he would make an unfunny joke.
She realised today was that day.

Princess: M-m-m-mine. *blushes*
Daddy: Oh I guess I should stop playing then since they aren't mine. I don't want to play with someone else's toy. *removes hand*
Princess: Wait . . .
Daddy: Wait? Why? Are those perhaps, MY princess parts?
Princess: Well, maybe they need some convincing *giggles*
Daddy: *begins rubbing again*

do you remember the night you came home from work crying harder than the clouds were? i took your blushed cheeks into my hands then kissed every tear away before your raincoat left your body. i guided you to our couch after your broken voice insisted being held would make the night slow down. you sat patiently as i undressed you with a shiver running through your body every so often. taking hold of both ankles gently, i shifted you onto your back & proceeded to place you into your favorite pink butterfly onesie. before zipping up the pajamas, i trailed kisses up your tummy for a smile. the sides of your mouth reluctantly upturned as rouge tears entered the valleys of your lips. my hand clutched a warm bottle just in time for your fingers to latch onto my wrist. while easing the silicone into your mouth, i picked up your favorite stuffed animal in attempts to diminish your sour day. hiding behind his soft fur, i gave him a comedic voice that sent you soaring into a positive head space. muffled giggles filled the room as milk started dripping down your chin: you couldn’t keep the bottle in your mouth any longer due to laughter. after letting out a few chuckles myself, i cleaned you up with a damp washcloth then put a pacifier back between your teeth. with whatever upset you now running far behind, the night slowly faded; your glassy irises never left mine until your eyelids stole them away. deep sleep entered your brain just as fast as your tears once fell… do you remember the night i fell in love with that little world of yours?

All you littles that are scared what people will think All you littles who have a boyfriend/girlfriend that don’t know about your little side All you littles that are scared to ‘come out’ to your boyfriend/girlfriend All you littles that live with your parents and feel like you can’t be your true self You are just as important as all the other littles. You are strong. You are valid.
