[Damn it, he's crying more today than he has in his entire life, practically. He closes his eyes, shivering at those words, his entire body feeling overfull with the emotions they pull up.]
Keith... [Will it ever stop astounding him? Probably not. He'll never stop being grateful that he was lucky enough to have met Keith.]
I know. I-- I... [He takes a steadying breath, wiping at his eyes quickly, his voice thick with those unshed tears.]
I-- know we were meant to meet. [He remembers, distantly, having said something like this before all of this has happened, but it feels even more relevant now. Even more real.
He only wishes he could be someone better for you. That it didn't mean all the hardships you've had to face because of him.]
Keith... you're the love of my life. [You're everything.]
