Kyran sat paralyzed, the weight of the moment pressing down on him.
He found the moment to be surreal, like stepping into a vivid dream he couldn't shake.
Doubt gnawed at his senses, the shock coursing through him was so profound that he dug his nails into his palm, searching for the sharp sting, that would confirm this was not some, waking illusion.
Once the sting struck his pain nerves, he realized that it was real.
He realized that the words actually came from Rex's mouth.
Upon the realization, he tilted his head down, looking at the ground pensively.
"You saying that..." Kyran whispered, his voice was so light—almost drowned by the sound of the river stream. He paused a second to control his emotions, "It... It really means a lot to me, thank you"
"I know," Rex nodded and lay down beside him. "you've gotten more dependable now"
Silence enveloped the two of them as they basked under the sunlight.
