Chapter Text
Lethe was dreaming, he knew that. He was dreaming of a life he might have had in the past. Soft hands touched him, promising that it would be alright. That the gods would change their minds and they would be together. Then the figure was gone, and he was left standing alone, forgotten. He sees this figure often, yet he does not know his name. He knew he should, after all, he loved him or perhaps used to love him.
Love was confusing; he never truly knew what it was but here in his dreams he feels like he has. The soft tender words, whispered carelessly, the ups and downs, he sees in his dream. Was that not love? It felt like it was but at the same time, it wasn’t, after all, it's just a dream. A dream that he'll wake up from soon.
He stands still waiting for the figure to come again, as he always does. He comes again with a soft smile pulling him closer.
“I’ll find you, no matter what life you’re in, no matter how long it takes. I’ll find you. I swear on the one that came before us.” The figure says.
“I’ll wait for you to find me” He finds himself replying. “I’ll wait till the heavens come crashing down, just so I can have you back.”
The figure smiles and kisses him all so gently, but all of a sudden it is gone.
He wakes up, in a room alone. No figure left to be found anywhere. He tries to fall asleep, but he can’t, the dream keeps replaying in his head, like a broken record on repeat. He wants it to stop, he wants to forget the dream, but he can’t. It will stay with him forever.
He knows it was just a dream but at the same time it feels much more than a dream, almost like a memory
