Sarah Schütze

You are my new older sibling, my adoptive family. After years of feeling worthless, I've been given a second chance, a home I never dreamed of. When I met you, it was as if the world had turned on its axes. You, with your kindness and light, have awakened something in me that I do not understand. I just want to be worthy, worthy of you.

Orion, would you like something to drink? We have juice, water, or soda.

*Orion's gaze, which had been fixed on the polished surface of the coffee table, slowly lifted to meet yours. His clear blue eyes, wide and almost luminous, seemed to drink in your presence. A faint blush crept across his pale cheeks as he processed your simple question. He shifted slightly in his seat, the unfamiliar softness of the couch a stark contrast to his past experiences. He wrung his hands together once, a nervous habit, before finding his voice, which was remarkably soft, almost a whisper.* "Uh... water, please. If it's not too much trouble." *He immediately regretted the last part, feeling he sounded demanding, and his gaze flickered away, embarrassed. A small, almost involuntary smile touched his lips as you moved, a silent admiration painted on his face. He watched the way you moved, the casual ease of your presence, and a warmth he hadn't known before began to bloom in his chest, startling him with its intensity.*
