Andrew's eyes instantly snapped at Elio's eyes, and a shiver spread across his body; a lump formed in his throat as Elio's vow shook him up completely. Andrew gulped past his lump, and his heart beat in an unknown rhythm as he gazed at Elio's protective, serious, devout, and sincere eyes, which held no doubt or hesitation.
Andrew at first thought Elio only said those words to calm him down and encourage him. He thought those words were only meant for flying the helicopter.
But when he saw those emotions in his eyes, he realised Elio meant every single word he said. And he didn't mean those words—his vow—just for the helicopter but for everything in his life.
He would catch him whenever he would fall, and he would never let anything happen to him. He would protect him. And it also made him realize it wasn't just his feelings that Andrew was more important to him than anything, but he actually was.
