Beautiful oblivion

“I was just thinking now was as good a time as any to acknowledge that you’re perfect and it wouldn’t suck if you fell madly in love with me anytime soon.”

“I never tried with you, either. My brother has always been in love with you.”

“Trenton loves you, kaibigan. Like, the deep, forever kind.“
