I’ve been rereading your story. I think it’s about me in a way that might not be flattering, but that’s okay.
                  We dream and dream of being seen as we really are
                  and then  f i n a l l y  someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up.
Anyway: story received, story included.
You looked at me long enough to see something   m y s t e r i o u s   under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks.
                         Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the   o t h e r   s i d e   of them.

Concerned!Flint (◡‿◡✿)

#that shark incident and he turned on all the concerned caretaker feels he’d had since silver lost his leg #like remember when silver first woke up? #and he was in flint’s cabin #with his own special place by the window #and flint was giving him something to drink #and speaking oh so softly #then silver told him about the gold and lied to him #and it was like a door slammed shut #but then #by this moment #the truth is out #and he just goes full on caretaker again #like he’s already given up on himself by now #he’s contemplating his own death all the time #but silver #for silver he’ll be there #to pick him up and support him #and when silver tells him he should live on #he believes him [via @shoreofmysoul]
