Note: I had to do this one, I just had to. Night Vale is a favorite of mine and Iaways thought of these two when I hear that quote.


They tell each other secrets in the dead of night. Big secrets that will destroy them one day and smaller, more intimate ones that, when put them together, would unravel who they ware.

They tell each other stories that no one else has heard, favorite things that no one else knows. They tell each other all the little things they keep close to their hearts and reveal the tiny secrets that are engraved on their bones.

Yes, they know the deep dark secrets too, they know the things that will be able to shatter them but they know other things as well. Smaller and more delicate that can break so much more easily.

This is how they show their love, how they tell each other that they matter. It's not in the big revelations but in the quiet whispers in the late night. It's in the minuscule details that make them up, it's in the tiny truths that are a part of them.

A kiss says 'I love you' A touch says 'You're mine' but a secret, no matter how small says 'I trust you with everything I am'.

Love the lyrical nature of this. So lovely.

That is beautiful.

Beautifully done!

A kiss says 'I love you' A touch says 'You're mine' but a secret, no matter how small says 'I trust you with everything I am'. -- guh!

Wee! I like this. :D

I love how it's the small secrets that are emphasized here. Usually I think of the big ones when I imagine Clint, Natasha, and secrets... but this works so wonderfully. <3

Lovely!
