#this chapter is

OOOOH ANON. You have no idea how impossible it is to choose a single line from this chapter because it really is a @mare--noctis masterpiece and I don't want to give too much away.

That being said, here's a lil' something:

Matthew just blinks up at him, wrecked and breathless, his voice a ruined whisper: “You’ve got me. I’m yours.”

Chapter 8 summary:

Richie sat his phone on the counter and went to the fridge. He pulled out some string cheese and a bottle of water before heading back to the bedroom. Ray had curled up in the middle of his warm spot.

“Punk,” Richie said, laying on his side and pulling the blanket up under his chin. After he ate the cheese, he must have dozed off again. When he woke up, Eddie was knocking gently on the door.

“Hey,” Eddie said. Richie groaned. “How are you?” Eddie tugged out of his shoes and curled up behind Richie, pulling him close.

“Time ’s it?” Richie mumbled.

“Just after 3,” Eddie said. “You eat anything?”

“Cheese,” Richie said, holding up the wrapper. Eddie laughed.

“Let’s get some food,” Eddie said, but didn’t move.

“Can’t.” He sighed. “Gonna take Grace and her family for dinner. You come.”

It was always meant for there to be seven of them on this mission. Thanks to the twin's bond, there's eight. Taako didn't care how many people were around though, the only thing that mattered what that he didn't lose his sister. Thanks to the way they were rebuilt every year, he'd never have to worry about losing her again. That was all that mattered.

Or at least, it was all that mattered at first.

Taako wasn't sure when he started caring so much about the others, but he guessed it was inevitable. You don't go decades dying alongside the same people over and over again without a bond before formed. You can't spend a hundred years of little moments with people without those starting to mean something.

You can't just fall in love and have all of that amount to nothing in the blink of an eye.
