#I have been thinking so much about Ahk and Ammon lately it’s not funny

[raeofgayshine]

After he died, Ahkmenrah had a lot of time to write. So here’s one of his memories of Ammon.

Do you remember when you taught me about the stars?

I was 11.

You were 13.

You knew that I had been fascinated by their sparkling lights since before I could walk.

But they held no importance in my training to one day lead

So you took it upon yourself to learn everything you could instead

And then one night, you climbed in through my bedroom window

Took my hand and lead me to the roof

Where we sat upon a blanket you had already smuggled there

I don’t know which one of us pressed into the other, but in that moment it was impossible to tell where I started and you ended

You looked so happy

I could have kissed you

But instead you took my hand

It was too warm but you didn’t seem to mind at all as you wrapped yours around it

Guiding both of us up to point at the constellations I always knew existed but had never been able to know

We stayed out there long past the time they were truly visible enough for your stories

Curled up next to one another instead we talked about your classes

Avoiding the fact that if anyone caught us you would surely be killed

We stayed until the sun had risen and people beneath us had started to stir

You stood up first, offering me a hand

The light surrounded you like a halo and I knew for sure that you would always be my angel

My hero

My Sun

In that moment I knew what it meant to fall in love

Then you grabbed my hand, and I was standing next to you again

And the moment had passed

But I will never forget the way you looked in the sunlight,

And how much time you gave up just to make me smile
