To protect the bottom, the top lost him once. Under immense pressure, he brought him back to his side, but the bottom had already been battered and broken, and was suffering from severe depression. Love was a wonderful remedy for the soul. The top used every ounce of patience and tenderness to guide him out of the shadow of those seven years, little by little. He told him the truth about what had happened seven years ago. He told him that in all those years, he had never fallen in love with anyone else. He told him he had loved him all along. He told him the bellflowers on the windowsill were still blooming. He told him how lucky he was to have the chance to replant a weather-beaten bellflower in a greenhouse. He told him that having him was the happiest thing in his life.
“Baby, don’t be afraid. I’ll never lose you again. This time, I have the strength to keep you safe in my arms.”
“Mm.”
“I love you. I’ve never stopped loving you.”
“I love you too. I’ve never blamed you. Maybe they were right: I’m not the only one who couldn’t move on from those seven years. You couldn’t move on from losing me either…”
Her words struck a chord deep within him. Tears of happiness filled the eyes of the exhausted man. He vowed to protect the one he loved and never again let anyone use his lover’s life to threaten him into doing something that would hurt them. He couldn’t bear either possibility.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s all right…”
“No, baby. These are tears of happiness.”
