(1/4)

she always has his back and even worries for him, and he knows and acknowledges this. but she trusts him, and to have someone trust him with their life and to not worry or doubt his ability based on his behavior is.. scary to him. he recognizes her love is different. (2/4)

all the ppl in the world could adore him, but it would break his heart if che hadn't shown him the support she did. she loves him, regardless of anything, his drug use, his mistakes, his daring stunts, she still cares for him + sees him as octavio at the end of the day. (3/4)

it holds him together. (4/4, end thread)
