I promised, i would love you forever
The music plays through him, connected through his earphones as he sits on the bus and watches raindrops chase each other to the asphalt. Jason can see his reflection in the window, and further up in the grey clouds. He looks… young. He looks free. For the first time he feels it too. Like the heavy weight of his bones and the responsibility they were carved from has finally been lifted.
“Hey,” Someone pulls him from his mind. He looks over, sees a boy with green eyes and black hair and dark skin, smiling at him like he’s the sun. “Is this seat taken?”
“Uh no.” He smiles back.
The boy sits down still grinning with abandon. “So what’re you listening to?”
He offers an earbud. The song starts again.
I promised, i would love you forever
