Their Decades Together

They met when they were ten. They parted when they were twenty. They reunited when they were thirty. At forty, they became companions for life, growing old together. From youthful ignorance to being all alone, then from being alone to living a quiet, ordinary life. A lifetime seems to be just that long. Perhaps he could choose an easier way to live. He hopes it isn't too late at this age. This may not be an easy story, but it has a happy ending. After all the twists and turns, nothing matters more than holding on to the hand of the person beside you. Content warnings: 1. They switch roles. Realistic style, probably a slow burn, starting when they're ten. 2. Both are experienced. One is married, and one has a regular hookup, but once they get together, there will absolutely be no third person. Read the rest at your discretion. Theme: A lifetime shared by two people.
