Summary
"He had promised him he would never leave. But time distorts even the most sacred vows."
Scott once swore, with the pure devotion of a child, that he would carry every sorrow Stiles couldn't bear. He watched that vow fade into silence, smothered by the years and by the names Stiles whispered that weren't his.
Now Stiles is back. Soaked in rain, trembling, lost. And Scott can't turn him away. Not now, not ever.
What begins as comfort becomes something else—something tender, aching, almost holy. But love, when it arrives too late and in the wrong form, wounds more deeply than absence ever could.
A slow burn of devotion and loss, of promises kept and promises broken. Because Scott is still there. Always. Even when he shouldn't be.
