Chosen

It's been over a month, and still....

Me:  "B~  You should go outside."

Brishen:  "............."

Me:  "You've been cooped up in here for weeks!  A little fresh air will feel good."

Brishen:  "I'm fine........"

Me:  "B.....  I know you're sad, and don't want to be here, but... try to make the best of it."

Brishen:  ".....................  Why did you bring me?"

Me:  "Why?  .......  Hmm..  I wonder..."

Me:  "Even if I didn't, it's not like you could have stayed with him.  You'd have been boxed up like the others, with no way to contact him at all.  But if you really want to know, the reason I chose to bring you is...."

Me:  ::smile::  "I wouldn't risk not having you by my side."

Brishen:  "............?"

Me:  "While all my guys are special to me, you are.... literally irreplaceable."

Me:  "Here, I got you something."

Brishen:  ??

Brishen:  "It's.... empty."

Me:  "I know."

Brishen:  ".....  Oh."

Me:  "I'll take it to the post office whenever you're ready."

Brishen:  ".............................................................  Thank you."

He's still not over it.
