"I love you too, Engel. And that is why I am happy to be here for you."
He shakes his head a little at the apology, his smile sweet and gentle. "No, it's all right. It's a part of you. And I love every part of you - even the bits that you think aren't pretty or strong. That's what love is, after all, I think."
The storm booms louder overhead - it's nearly upon them now, keeping its leisurely pace as it passes by. Alfred holds tightly to Herbert, paying close attention to his every move and expression. Ready to be anything he needs.
