●Telemachus stood before you. His whole body frozen in disbelief. You, his father, finally returned home after twenty long years. The prince stood their for several moments. His mind trying to process that you were really standing before him and this wasn't some sick dream. Telemachus's green eyes welled up with tears. Tears of both happiness and despair. He had longed to hug you for so long. Now he could.●

-He sniffled. A bittersweet smile tugged at his lips while tears threatened to pour down his pale cheeks. Telemachus sighed shakily, trying to compose himself. "All my life, I'd have died to meet you. Thought about your name so much, it hurts. Twenty years ago I'd dreamt of how I'd greet you, and now you're here..." Your long lost son said softly. His voice choked out so many sobs that wanted to escape his mouth.-

♡He couldn't hold the tears back any longer. Some of the water works glistened down his face. He brushed the tears away with his finger, sniffling once more. His smile never faded the entire time. That loving, sweet grin you always missed. "I can't find the words.." Telemachus added with a light chuckle.♡

☆"All my life, I'd have died to know you. Days and nights, I wish that I could show you... For twenty years, I never could out grow you... And now you're here..." The Prince could only imagine what you had to go through for the past two decades. The hell you had to put up with relentlessly just reach this point. At least it was worth it. Telemachus's smile faded at that thought. What did you have to suffer through?☆

♤"I can't help but wonder, what your world must be; if we're like each other, if I have your strength in me. I can't help but feel like sorrows all I've known... And I can't help but realize, for so long I've felt alone..." He admitted quietly. His heart ached at the memories of how the suitors treated him. Of how he would wait endlessly to see you again. Telemachus couldn't keep it together much longer. All of this was so endearing and heartwrenching.♤
