New Beginnings

Kyran smiled as my father patted his shoulder on his way out and then walked away.

"He's resilient." He said to me, then looked down at himself. "Was there really no other option?"

"There were other options...worse options." I said, shrugging.

He shook his head. "I think i look good in this one."

We both laughed, and for a while, I just stopped, thinking about how far we have come. If someone had told me the small husky I had liked immediately after seeing it that day at the shopping mall would become this beautiful man who kissed me in ways I have never been kissed and found the weirdest reasons to be by my side, I would have probably taken them to a psychiatric hospital.

But here I was, unable to imagine myself without him.
