[September 3] [Holes/Small Steps] that someday
Title: that someday
Day/Theme: September 3 / I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
Series: Holes/Small Steps
Pairing/Character: Kaira/Theodore (Armpit)
Rating: G
Many, many months passed before Kaira picked up the pen to write to him again.
The previous letters had been easy. This one was hard. It had been a long time, Kaira thought. He might not want to talk to her again.
Kaira shook herself. Thinking like that wouldn't get her anywhere. She began to write...
Dear Theodore...
Coincidentally, Armpit had been listening to one of her songs on the radio when his mom brought in the letter.
Dear Theodore, it read.
I hope you're doing all right, and that the reporters haven't been bothering you too much. Say hi to Ginny for me, and tell her I hope she's doing all right too.
Anyway, I realized a while ago that I never thanked you for saving my life. And I should have. So I'm writing now to thank you. For saving my life.
This is really stupid. That isn't why I wanted to write to you at all. (Though I did want to thank you.) I'm writing to you because...well, I'm not really sure. I mean, I know why, but I can't really seem to put it into words, you know?
I want to talk to you. How's that for a start? I want to talk to you again, and I'd be really happy if you wrote me back. You don't have to, of course. Just if you want to.
That'll do for now, I think. Stay safe, okay?
Kaira
After reading the letter, Armpit waited until the last strains of the song had faded away. Then he folded up her letter carefully, so it wouldn't get messed up, and put it back in the envelope.
After that, he went to go look for a pen.
