( Sunny responds, and Basil knows. He knows that Sunny knows what he means. He knows that Sunny understands him better than anyone else. All of his hopes and dreams were something that only Sunny knew.
He's always known what he wants to say, even without him saying anything. It's why he responds by gently cupping the other's cheek lightly, fingers brushing against the other.
It hurts so much, but it feels wonderful, too. The bond that they share is nothing that Basil thinks that he could share with anyone else.
He doesn't know if he wants to. )
That... makes me really happy. You make me happy.
( Everything that happened back then feels like a bad dream. He knows that he'll never forget. He'll never forgive himself. But, that guilt from before has become bearable for him to carry.
He did it for him. He did it for Sunny. He did it to protect him in the only way he could. )
And, I hope that no matter what happens -- you can find happiness, too.
cries lmk if u wanna wrap up soon or if you have more
[It's such a simple, kind, well-meaning wish. Basil is a kind, well-meaning person. How could Sunny ever have lost sight of that? It matters more, doesn't it?
[Happiness is still far away. Sunny doesn't know if he'll ever truly find it. Then again, he finds it here all the time - little moments amongst the chaos and fear that make waking up feel bearable. It lives in his friends. He was so afraid for so long to open himself up to them again...
[He can't tell Basil that he will find happiness, because he's not entirely sure what it means anymore.]
I hope...so too.
[His thumb strokes lightly over Basil's knuckles. He pictures raising the boy's hand to his lips and kissing it. They have rings. It seems like the next logical step.
[But it's only a daydream.]
I'll...keep it on. [The ring. He holds up his finger where it lays.
( Basil gently leans against Sunny then, their shoulders touching. Happiness is a journey, he thinks -- especially for the both of them. Basil believed for so long that Sunny was part of that for himself, maybe he still is.
He separates his grip from Sunny then, slipping his own ring on and offering a smile - gentle and fond. )
We'll always be connected. ( He says softly.
There's so much he wants to say, but he doesn't think that the both of them need words. Sunny knows how he feels. To him, that's more than enough for right now. )
I promise that this time, I'll be here for you no matter what.
I teared up writing this...that's a wrap from me <3

[Basil is near. Sunny takes his hands. They'll always be connected; this, they both must realize, is an ireffutable fact.
[Sunny brings Basils hand's up to his cheek. He presses it against them, briefly closing his eyes.]
I promise.
