I scratch my head and look around. My mind racing about all the things that could happen. All the havoc I could cause. I can see places I could set fire to, but I'm here with Dev, and I'm not going to ruin this moment. Maybe he would wreck havoc on the citizens with me one day. The idea is a good idea, but I doubt he would want to join me. It's enough for me that he accepts me for who I am. He doesn't try to change me, and that's how I want it to be.

"What I feel for you is more than love. I don't know if there is anything higher than that, but I feel that there is." My grin grows larger. I look at him straight in the eyes and stare at him. I don't want to lose this moment. I want this moment to stay embedded in my brain forever. Love is something I never really understood. My parents never loved me. Hylla loves me though, but I don't know what love is supposed to be. I place a hand on the ground trying to figure out what to say. I don't know what to do or say. I'm just sitting here waiting for him to talk. I want to listen to him to talk. I don't want to say anything, but seeing as that's not happening, I have to speak.

"Dev, define love." My voice is quiet. "I never had parents that loved me. I never had anyone actually tell me they loved me other than you." Maybe he can give me the definition of love so I understand it better. Is this love? Is this friendship? I don't know if this is love because I don't understand what love means. (If love means leaving those who care about you, I don't want to be involved in anything that means love.)

I look around at the other people staring at me. It's one thing to see them staring at me when I bring pain into their lives, but it's another to have them staring at me like I'm an infectious disease. I don't care what they think, but the staring makes me uncomfortable, but I refuse to give in. I want to live in this moment forever. "Dev, why do people think it's wrong for two people to express their love?"

What is love? I don't know how to answer it, but my mouth speaks faster than my brain. "Love is a spark. An explosion that takes place everytime you look at the one you know you want to spend your life with. Love is unstoppable. When you love someone, you stop at nothing to express it." I run my fingers through his perfect hair.

I press his temple to my lips. I then lower my arms and I hug him. I know I'm not gonna let go. I'll wait until he is ready to pull away. He knows I love him. And I know even more that he loves me.

I can't help but smile when I'm around him. He's a big part of my life. He's the reason I want to live. When I need a place to hide, I can confide in him. Dev is everything to me. I never thought I would be able to find a person that loved me for who I am. At first we were just friends, but now we are more than just friends. He's the man I love. Love is a connection that two people share. Love is doing anything for the other person no matter what. Love is to stay with a person through the rough times. Love is growing to love the person through his/her flaws. I have a sisterly love for Hylla because she's my sister. I'd do anything for her, and I'd do anything for Dev. He means the world to me, and I don't want to lose him. "Love is a spark. An explosion that takes place everytime you look at the one you know you want to spend your life with. Love is unstoppable. When you love someone, you stop at nothing to express it."

It's amazing what love does to a person. It's amazing that someone would love me. I never dreamed a person would care for me other than Hylla. It's absolutely fantastic. I allow the grin to grow larger on my face. My face glows with happiness. I haven't been this happy in a long time. I was never good at these moments, but I know that I want it to last forever. I don't want anything to ruin it. I don't want anyone to step in the way and stop this. "Love is something I share with you. Love is loving the person through the trials and tribulations. Love is placing the needs of the other person before you. Dev, I never thought anyone would love me." I am lost in this moment. Nothing will ruin it. I won't let anything ruin this moment.

I realize now that Trouble and I aren't as opposite as I thought. I've always thought that no one would ever love me. I mean, I have family that loves me, but no one on the outside. Like trouble is. I've never been a trouble maker, but he makes me want to be. Is it really that bad when it feels so good.

"I never thought that I'd be in this much trouble. But I am. Just because we're both men, doesn't mean it's not fate for us. Because what I want has never been so clear." I let it go silent. I take his skinny cheeks into the palms of my hands.

"I love you exactly how you are. Don't let anyone, especially not me, change you. And I want to clear one thing up. If you go to the games, I won't let anything bad happen to Hylla. I've never met her, but if you care about her, then I do too." I drop my hands down from his face. But I don't lose his gaze. I feel so happy now. I feel one, small tear well up in my eye and drip down my face. A tear of joy. I smile.

It's amazing being around Dev. It's amazing being around another person that loves me for who I am. He accepts me, and that's what means the world to me. He understands that Hylla comes before him. He understands me. He doesn't want me to change, and that's why I love him. "I never thought that I'd be in this much trouble. But I am. Just because we're both men, doesn't mean it's not fate for us. Because what I want has never been so clear."

I'm caught off guard by this for a moment. I know we're both guys, but who is to tell me who I can and can't love? I love Dev. Since my parents left, he's the best thing that's happened to me. I know the Coles took me in as part of their family, but it doesn't mean they love me. They hate me. I don't hate them, but they hate me. I'm grateful they took me in when I had no place to go. They took me and Hylla in off the streets because we needed a place to stay.

"I love you exactly how you are. Don't let anyone, especially not me, change you. And I want to clear one thing up. If you go to the games, I won't let anything bad happen to Hylla. I've never met her, but if you care about her, then I do too." He will care for Hylla. I allow the smile to grow larger on my face. Hearing this is everything I ever needed to hear. Hylla is my sister. She's my fist priority in life. She's the main reason I want to live. She's the reason I want to go into the games. I want to bring glory to our name. I don't want them to remember us as the scum of District One. I want to fight for the honor to bring to my family.

"You telling me you won't let anything bad happen to Hylla means the world to me. She's my life. She's my everything. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her. She's all I have left from the family. Yes, I live with the Coles, my cousins, but they don't accept me. They don't want me to be who I am. Hylla doesn't care because she accepts me, and I accept her. You accept me, and that means the world knowing you'd accept her." It's amazing what a small word can do for a person. "And who cares that we both are men? Who is to tell me who I can and can't love? I love you Dev, and nothing is going to change that."
