After a few seconds of waiting, Josh kept his eyes closed, and his palm to the screen while he whispered, keeping his voice soft and low.
"Imagine that your hand and mine, that are pressed to this warm screen together are in fact really touching. That I'm beside you, right now Akira…listening to my voice as I whisper to you." Josh smiled, the expression still stirred, although it was clear it showed more happiness in comparison to before.
"I know it's not the same as if we were together, but it'll only be a couple days before my arms wrap back around you, and I'll be with you each day, I promise. I'm only a phone call, or a text away. Please…" Josh opened his eyes, looked at the screen and sighed as he saw his boyfriend, wanting to reach out and hold him. "…understand that I'll never leave you. I'll come back to you the first chance I get." Josh promised.
