incensus: you'll still be burning so bright (➤ when the stars have all gone out)

[At that one word though, Wolfram finds himself smiling a bit. And that smile only widens at the feel of Terra's fingers on his face, gently wiping away the lingering tears. His heart feels lighter, knowing that he has someone on his side. Even if, really, Terra always had been on his side.

He leans forward in order to press his forehead against Terra's shoulder. His smile fades a little then. He knows he needs to talk to his mother, but he's still upset with her, especially for not even bothering to tell him that she was planning on moving again. The tickets had been dated for a month out. That didn't seem like enough time. It wouldn't be the first instance of them moving on such short notice, though. But she knew he had a friend here. He'd really thought, if they really had to move, she would at least given him more time to say goodbye. It wasn't fair. None of it was.

Maybe she'll just let me keep the house.

[It sounds a bit ridiculous, but he really didn't see why it couldn't be an option. He hadn't noticed her showing it to anyone in order to rent it out, like she had with their previous homes. That's a little odd, if he really thinks about it.

He doesn't get a lot of time to though, because he's realizing now that Terra had just seriously offered to let Wolfram live with him. And that brings the smile back to his face, though he hides it against Terra's shoulder.

It's not as if he doesn't know where and how Terra lives. He's been there before, even if each visit had been brief. Mostly just for Terra to grab something on their way out, things like that. Still, he'd seen it. It wasn't much to write home about, especially by Wolfram's standards. But the fact that, even with both of them knowing that it would be hard to work with, Terra was still offering, meant a lot.

He pulls away from his shoulder in order to look up at him, then leans in to kiss him again without hesitation. It's a thank you, a silent one, because heaven and hell both know he's not good at the verbal kind.
