You Were The Gravity Keeping Me On My Path.

you were the gravity keeping me on my path.

in the early hours of the morning, as most of linkon remains asleep, including you, caleb busies himself with decorating your living room while the sun has yet to peek over the horizon to greet linkon with another new day.

soon, heart-shaped balloons float against the ceiling, then he sprinkles petals of asiatic apple blossoms along the tables, some on the couch but mostly on the coffee table where an ebony velvet box sits on top of an envelope addressed to “pip-squeak”.

inside this box holds a very special item: a dogtag. it is much like the one you gave to him before he left for the aerospace academy. the font of the words are slightly different from the one you chose for his, plus the words read: "4ever by Ur side" instead of "When U come back".

he figured to add a little personal touch, and of course the gem in the middle of the apple isn’t red but green. and once opened, that green gem shines just like how you shine in his eyes.

inside the envelope holds a little note for you, a little doodle of him and you on the corner and the contents read:

my dearest pip-squeak,  kinda weird to say something like that, huh? you’ll have to get used to it. anyways, you saw the necklace right? i figured that you could have something like what you gave me. now we’ll always be together, even if we aren’t physically next to each other. even when i’m high up in the clouds, when you look down at this necklace, i want you to remember two important things: i'll be home soon and i'm thinking about you always. happy valentine's day. your dummy, caleb

a/n: happy valentine's day beloveds! i hope you all have a wonderful day and that it's filled with lots of joy and happiness and i do hope you enjoy this and caleb's gift for you. 🧡
