Koda;
I watched all of Elián's walls crumble this afternoon.
Well… most of them. I've never seen him laugh so freely before. Something about seeing him that happy seemed… like a blessing.
Like I was lucky to witness it.
I know it seems silly, but… now, I constantly want to see him laughing. To see him happy.
I stare down at him as he flips through the book in his hand with his head against my chest.
After the kids left, he made me dance about a bit in the skirt. Normally, it would have been embarrassing, but seeing his laughter and how happy it made him, how could I not grant his request?
When he ran out of breath from wheezing, he had me stop, and only then could I change back into my Krompa.
Now, we're both in bed, and surprisingly… he let me hold him.
He asked for a few books, and after I got them to him, he asked me to stay in bed with him.
"Well, that's preposterous." He suddenly mumbles, and I raise a brow.
"What is?" I question, and he looks up at me.
