young dutch and hosea, but its just them laying out in the grass, talking for hours as the time passes, neither realizing such until dutch's quiet snores halt hosea in his exaggerated talk. and all he can do is peer to his left, completely awestruck by not the stars, but him instead.
and it's the first time he's ever felt okay. it's the first time in what has felt to be a lifetime that he's realized that what dutch and he share, is so much more than his past.
that, with dutch, he can feel right, because dutch is what makes him that. and inspires him to continue being that.
you know how sometimes you get some sort of platonic crush on someone? like, you're not attracted to them, nor do you want anything romantic with them, you just want to be noticed by them because they are cool. not in a "popular-kid-from-school" kinda way, just in a "i-want-them-to-acknoweldge me" kinda way?
