Eclipse: An imagined ending
The little boat bobbed on the waves, going neither left nor right. It didn't stay still either, it moved with flow of the tides .....
"Since the day I started school I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was a race I was rushing to complete. It was neither good nor bad, it was just a step towards my ultimate goal. My path was clear. I graduated from school, I study and then I find a job. The faster I did it, the better. I wanted to make life easier for my parents. They were so proud when Suppalo took me in. I thought here was the prestige I needed to succeed. Once I got the scholarship I'd be sorted." Akk sighed wistfully.
Aye lifted his head and rested it on his elbow. He touched Akk's cheek gently. "then I came and messed up your plans. "
"Shia Aye," exclaimed Akk sitting up suddenly. " Aye, you saved me. Saved me from a hell I didn't even know I was in. You shook up my heart when I didn't even know what it wanted. Turns out it was you I needed all along. Like this" said Akk waving his arms toward the wide open ocean, " like this, you and me , in our little boat out on the ocean, that's my dream now. Along the way I'll try to be a good son too."
"I love you Bigfoot. Always and forever," whispered Aye holding very tightly on to Akk. " Me too Shortstop, me too."
With that they rowed back to shore. A four year seperation isn't much they kept telling themselves. Aye abroad studying for four years and Akk enrolled in a university up North. They knew it was going to be hard but they were positive. The will make it they thought.
The future isn't set in stone. It's fluid like the waves. Can they anchor each other? Can they find their way back home, back to where their hearts were entwined..
