#sitting on the throne w/o pete? not on his watch

[vegaspeteangst]

the boy who could see the world through his dragon's eyes only (they all laughed at them, the imperfect boy with an imperfect dragon, both were hated by their own kin for they were considered being sick)

and the man who was ready to burn this world for the imperfect boy (and he did, he did burn it, he gave the boy a crown that was his by birthright, he was there for him, he knew they both were meant to rule together, to bring this world to its knees, to turn it all upside down)

he gave the boy his heart and soul

he brought his all to him

he stripped himself down for him

he laid himself bare for him

he would do anything to see the gentle boy smile

but does it matter when in the end the boy was willing to die rather than being together with a monster who brings fire and death everywhere he goes, when everything he touches turns to ashes
