Prompt: (from @melifluousgelatoo.writes on Instagram)

He'd smiled at him then, with that delicate, angelic smile,
and told him he wanted him to move on, to be happy.
But how could he when it felt as if his heart had been
ripped out and all that was left was a bleeding, raw nothingness.
And every day he kept falling into this dark, suffocating, endless void.
This is what'll make me happy, James, he thought.
And then he tilted his body forward off the edge. And finally,
after all this time, he sensed the slightest hope that he would be
seeing him again, and his heart felt whole once more.
Snippet
Jay run through the dimly lit corridors and passageways, quite unaware of where he was going when he suddenly bumped into something hard and stumbled back.
'Ethan..', he whispered, staring into the deep green eyes of the taller boy.
'What are you doing here at this hour?' Ethan said.
'I - I - ' he thought about confessing what he saw but he was certain no one would believe him, especially not Ethan.
'You'd better head back to our common room before a professor spots you wandering around the corridors.'
'What about you?' he said defiantly.
'What about me?'
Jay realized his heart was beating faster against his chest and tried to catch his breath. 'Never mind,' he said and meant to walk past Ethan when he felt him gently grabbing his arm. He turned around. Ethan gazed at him, his gaze softening. 'Listen, what happened today at the great hall, I didn't mean to-'
'I know,' Jay said. 'It doesn't matter.' It did.
They awkwardly stared at each other for what seemed like hours when they heard something pacing towards them from the other side of the corridor.
Bookshop
As soon as I arrived at the antique bookshop my eyes met the most extraordinary opulent architecture I had ever seen. The building’s front was covered with beautiful flowers that seemed to come alive with the gentle stroke of the sun’s golden rays. Fervently I opened the door and walked inside. The doorbell rang playfully and the library’s cat lifted up its head and gazed at me with sleepy eyes. Shire music was playing in the background. A warm scent of brewing coffee was wafting in the air and I felt as if I was back home. The walls were stacked with books as high as my eyes could see, and even more, books were piled on the floors and by the shelves. My chest was about to explode. I kindly waved a smile to the girl behind the counter and walked further into paradise.
Taaffeite
Turns out there are some people out there
who can show you that life truly is worth living.
When you manage to break into their world
and merely get a glimpse of how deep it runs,
you finally start to realize what beauty could really mean.
They innocently nourish your love for life.
The days become brighter and warmer;
each moment spent with him you become engulfed in happiness,
a euphoric feeling that resides within you all along.
And you know you’re not seeing things through rose-tinted lenses,
because you’ve been through experiences, and you can tell:
this is real. He is real.
But still, you can’t believe how you managed to find such a gem
and make him fall in love with you.
Somehow, I still wonder if it’s too good to be real,
if it’s just a dream, if I deserve this gift.
