Fics like A Heartbeat in the Shadows

“Most people think blindness means living in darkness.” He began, turning a corner to wander deeper into the garden. “But darkness isn’t empty. Not if you know where to find the light.” Jisung glanced toward him. “You can see light?” Minho shook his head slightly. “Not the way you do.” “Does the darkness frighten you?” “At times. But I learned a long time ago, if you spend all your time looking at the darkness,” he said quietly, “you miss the bright things hiding inside it.” Jisung’s heartbeat shifted slightly. Not faster, just louder. Harder for Minho to ignore, not that he had intention on doing so. “What do they look like?” The king smiled, thinking it over for a moment. “They sound like laughter. Smell like fresh-baked bread.” A quiet giggle made his chest tighten more than he expected. It was quickly becoming his favorite sound. “And sometimes, they feel like standing beside someone who makes the darkness a little easier to walk through.” Or King Minho’s travels bring him to a small kingdom, and a prince whose smile can light up a room.
