Day 8

My love,

It's been over a week since I was last able to observe you when you slept.

It used to be a hobby of mine. You know when I was taking evening classes and I used to spend the entire time studying? I could always feel when you fell asleep. Your magic calmed down and it calmed me down as well. The moment you were asleep I took my notes and studied with you next to me.

I once counted all the specks on your back and drew a sketch and turned it into a painting. It's somewhere in our apartment so when we'll be reunited you can find it.

You don't know yet but we'll see each other in five days. Before I wrote it down I was excited but now that I think about it five days is a lot.

It's been a while since we spent so much time apart. I'm pretty sure that the last time that happened was when I went to Europe to ski with my parents. One thing that didn't change is that on that trip all I thought about was you.

I went to a little café and saw two boys kissing and I knew that would be us one day.

You should write me a letter too; it just makes you think about so many things.

Like how our first public kiss turned into five-page tabloid news.

Or when I almost sent a nude I didn't even know you sent to me to my dad. I don't know why I just thought of that. Maybe I want you to send me one now. Even with the changes, your body has been through you're still so beautiful to me.

So attractive it hurts. In a good and bad way.

I painted a lot since you've been gone. I fill up the void but I just paint you.

I try to keep my writing as random as possible. Because I know how you love when I talk nonsense when I'm drunk.

In five days you have a checkup and I'll see you after. I would prefer to keep it a surprise but I don't want you to use your magic when you see me, I won't use mine either.

I love you so much.

I'll love you till the day I die.

Always yours,

Michael

"How've you been feeling Luke?"

Luke chuckled and look at his fingers. He much preferred home visits to hospital ones. "You have to define that."

"I don't. You can share every thought with me."

Mrs. Turner was definitely the best doctor out there so Luke had no problem laying all of his problems on him.

"I miss Michael. I also miss my magic. So I'm not the happiest to see..." He pulled his sleeve up. "That my tattoo is almost gone."

He smiled at the light shade that was all that was left from his half-moon.

"But then I feel healthy. I'm still weak but it's been almost eight months since I felt that good. And I don't miss magic as much as I missed being able to take a long walk without being supervised."
