Story: Cameron & Rylan
“I had the idea two days after my parents left, but the plan solidified when I noticed the exhaustion in both of us the last few weeks. Mom got me in contact with a travel agent, and she told me about the different, isolated places we could visit on the islands. I was late today picking up our plane tickets and resort reservations.”
Tears sprang up in his eyes. While Rylan had been planning ways for them to survive finals, Cameron had been thinking past this moment.
“I’ve missed spending time with you and our conversations. I’m excited, but won’t it be expensive?”
“What good is money if you can’t spend it? This time, it’s the two of us, and no matter how much we spend it’ll be worth it. Besides, when you get discovered and your designs are the next hot thing for the next several decades, then you can take me on vacation.”
Rylan blinked at him. No one had ever believed in him, truly believed he was a talent. But Cameron’s words warmed him and he believed he could do anything.
“I looked through your sketches last night and I have to say, they are amazing. The colors you use and the designs themselves are beautiful. I can’t wait to see them on a live model. And when we’re in Hawaii, I’ll design your website so you can sell online.”
Cameron wiped a tear from his cheek. He hadn’t even realized he was crying until then. “I’ve had no one—”
“I know. And I will be here to support you in whatever you want to do. You brought happiness into my life, Ry. Before I met you, I never realized how closed off I’d become. But with you, I’m relaxed enough to be myself.”
Rylan leaned up and kissed Cameron. “We’re good for each other.”
“Yes, we are.”
They were both lost in their own thoughts and Rylan soon heard Cameron’s breathing even out and deepen, letting him know he was asleep. With a smile on his face and lying next to the one man who meant everything to him, he followed soon after.
