⠀ you’re gonna keep being sentimental and i’ll cry ⠀

that brother of mine who found me in the snow that day is long gone...

⠀ only for certain people, consider yourself lucky . ⠀

⠀ without you life would be worth nothing , you’ll always be my family . ⠀

⠀ twitters down and i often wonder what life would be like if i wasn’t around ⠀

ray speeds up slightly , catching up to be at her side . adjusting the bag on his back before reaching to take a sip from his canteen . “ wanna lean on me for a bit ? get some shut - eye ? i’m not too tired right now . “

carefully eyeing her up and down , if she kept up like this she’d be sure to fall over . fortunately , ray was actually pretty awake tonight . “ how many warnings you got right now ? “

⠀ “ shit. . “ it’s mumbled and kept quiet, she wasn’t even suppose to be here yet she willingly took her brothers spot . “ you’ve got some balls for that . but selfish ? i don’t know. . . it’s almost heroic in some ways . “ ⠀

⠀ the mood change makes pete realize how dire this information was , subtly stepping closer to her so no nearby ears could pick up the confession . “ whatever you have in store will be taken to my grave with me , you have my word . “ ⠀

⠀ pete was currently at the jelly phase of his legs , they felt like they could give out at any moment but he knew what awaited him if he did that . “ there you go . . . now i’ve got a question . . why are you here , kid ? “ ⠀

ray notices how her feet stumble over each other while walking , only a couple feet behind her . “ hey . “ spoken up , but not too loudly . “ you alright up there ? “

⠀ “ no no no , compadre. you have to believe we are legends in order for it to work ! “ there’s a chuckle of his own falling from lips and there’s a bit of hope simmering throughout that they’d be okay. for however long that was he’d just enjoy it while it lasted . ⠀

⠀ returning the first bump; little did they both know it was a promise for the two there on forward to stick together. a pact was made and pete would ensure that charlie kept pushing forward. “ we fucking got this, we’re legends like that . “ ⠀

everything comes so easy for you. i want to feel good about myself the way you do. and i don't know how.

you don't realize it， but， one day， this too will be the past and you will come to mourn it. you will come to mourn it.

o' sweet sacrificial lamb．
