jon-elias:

> “I love you, Jon.” Elias, no, it’s Jonah now, repeats and Jon hates how the world isn’t falling apart around him.

> He wonders how he got here. Here being at the near end of the world next to someone he thought he hated. Next to someone he knows he loves back.

> “You don’t have to say anything, I know.” Jonah says softly. Softer than someone like him ought to be capable.

> He’s done horrible things, yes, but so has Jon.

> They both know this.

> It, as much as everything else, doesn’t change anything.

> They say it takes losing something to make you realize its importance, but Jon doesn’t feel like he’s lost something. If anything he’s gained everything.

> The world is all but over, but he’s finally free from it all.
