Prentice was my closest friend. At times, he was my only friend. Losing him was the hardest thing I thought I'd ever go through, but getting him back after thirteen years was somehow harder. I remember taking his hands in mine and asking him if he could hear me right when he woke up. I remember cradling him in my arms and crying when he finally spoke. Those moments weren't the hard parts; they made me hopeful.

But then things started changing. Over the weeks, Prentice's mind slowly began to piece itself together.

He was having his first encounter with the outside world and breathing fresh air for the first time in thirteen years. I was pushing his wheelchair, and Wylie was walking with us. We were on our way to Cyrah's Wanderling.

Seeing him and Prentice hug and cry together broke my heart. And I was so mad. I was mad that they couldn't have the family they deserved.

"Dad?"

That snapped me out of my thoughts. It was Wylie. I looked at him. He held out his hand to me. Tears brimmed his eyes. "Your part of the family, too, aren't you?" he whispered.

My lips trembled slightly as Wylie pulled me into their hug. I wrapped my arms around both of them and closed my eyes, finally allowing myself to cry a little.

I was no replacement for Cyrah, but I loved them. Wylie was my son as well as Prentice's. And maybe they didn't get to have the perfect family they deserved. But perhaps I could be the family they needed.

Love and fear can often feel like the same thing. Like helping Prentice stand for the first time. It was amazing, and I was so incredibly proud of him, but I also clung to him as tightly as I could and didn't want to let go. Even when Livvy urged me to let Prentice start using the walker Tinker had made for him, I still didn't want to let go. I held his arm and placed a gentle hand on his back as he did his little laps around the room. He would give me a glare and say he didn't need help, but I didn't care. I needed to be there in case something happened. I promised I'd take care of this family. And if Prentice fell, I would be there to catch him. I only started backing off when even Wylie began getting annoyed with me.

Then, when Prentice started walking around with just a cane, Livvy announced that he didn't need to be in her physical care anymore, and he could officially move to Solreef with Wylie and I. I was thrilled! I was so excited to live with my family, and I was excited with how well Prentice's recovery was going.

That first night was horrible. I was already an insomniac, but... this was different. My entire body was shaking in a wild panic. I couldn't sleep. I had to get up. I had to... to see Prentice. Make sure he was okay.

I stumbled out of bed and hurried to his room. I cracked open the door. A soft yellow beam of dim light from the hall shined on his face. He didn't move. I opened the door a bit more and leaned against the doorway, sighing quietly. I watched the slow rise and fall of his chest.

Okay. Okay. He was fine. I was fine.

... Except. Maybe the rising and falling of his chest was too slow. Maybe he was in a deeper kind of sleep...

Panic quickly started taking over again, and I began to shake. "Prentice?" I whispered.

He remained motionless.

Then louder, "Prentice."

He breathed softly.

I flinched and gently shook him. "Prentice!"

Prentice groaned.

I exhaled shakily. Thank god. Thank god.....

He sat up a bit, rubbing his eyes. "Tiergan?" he croaked tiredly, obviously confused. "What is it? Is something wrong?"

I teared up. Jesus. I'd woken him up for no reason. I panicked like a little kid. Seriously, what are the chances he'd go into another coma? I shook my head. "Nothing, apparently, I was just... being stupid," I managed to get out.

He blinked, looking up at me. "Tiergan, why did you wake me up?" he asked softly.

There was a deafening pause.

"... I needed to make sure you could," I whispered finally.

Prentice's brow furrowed. "Oh. Tiergan... I'm not going to..." He trailed off as he watched me wipe tears from my eyes.

I stepped back. "I'm sorry."

"Wait." He reached for my hand. I let him take it. "Stay," he said softly.

I squeezed his fingers. "Okay."

He shifted to make room for me on the bed. I crawled in and curled up close to him.

"Just try not to wake me up again?" His voice had a bit of a playful tone.

I closed my eyes. "Okay," I said again. I hadn't let go of his hand yet.

The next few days were like hell. It didn't matter how much I tried to convince myself he was okay; every morning I woke up, I was praying that he'd wake up, too. He always did, but the anxiety still ate me alive.

Prentice told me it would get easier with time, but as the months went by, ease did not come. In fact, I think it was getting harder. I think I was holding on a little tighter with each day that passed. I couldn't help it. I needed him to to be okay. I don't know what I'd do if I lost him again. I loved him so much.

So much more than he'd ever know.

Fuck canon, this is how Nightfall went

"...I think I'm back."

The second the words left Prentice's mouth, Tiergan leapt to his feet. He ran across the room in a matter of seconds, shoving Forkle to the side in his hurry. (If Sophie was honest with herself, it was kind of funny to watch Forkle nearly topple over.) Tiergan held out his hand and helped Prentice to his feet before pulling him close. That was odd, Sophie thought. Tiergan normally didn't like hugging people. Prentice must be really special to him.

Tiergan spoke softly. Sophie couldn't hear most of it, but she caught I missed you so much and I'm so glad you're back and something that might have been I love you.

Sophie smiled. She was happy for them. It was nice to see Tiergan reunited with his best friend after so long.

"I love you too," Prentice said, and he leaned back slightly from Tiergan's embrace, just enough for Sophie to see that he was smiling. And then Tiergan kissed him.

Sophie's jaw dropped.

Were they- was Tiergan- what?

She had so many questions. Questions she would definitely be asking Tiergan at her next telepathy class. For now, though, it seemed best to not interrupt them.
