gooseberryhigh | Get ready for Ricardo.

The following letters are delivered at breakfast by a white barn owl.

The following is written entirely in English:

My dear Ravi,

Rafito thinks he is so clever ruining my surprise, but I know that you want to hear it from me. You are officially invited to my wedding! I wanted to make you one of my groomsmen, but Rafael says you are very busy with Healer applications and being in school. Does saving lives really rank above me??? Jajaja, don't answer that.

It has been an exciting past year, but not having you and the rest of LARP with us to celebrate has been weighing on me. I wish I could invite them all, but at least my favorites are coming. I'm looking forward to seeing you in particular. Please say you are coming for the whole week. I want to spend some time with you, I will make sure there's room in my busy schedule. (Sooooooo busyyyyyyyy, I am exhausted, Ravi.) I will take you to see Palanque, the most stunning ruins in Mexico. They will take your breath away. I will need the break, too, so really you would be doing me a favor.

As I sit here and write, with my new life about to begin... my only regret is that when I graduated, the relationship between Viraj and Guillen never was resolved. I still think about them sometimes. In truth, I got some cold feet and I did not have Guillen confess to Viraj that I think he loved him all along. And then Guillen died and so it was over and I was Prom King and Cristiane said yes and I never spoke to you. Instead, I have attached a second letter. Imagine that Viraj found this after Guillen's death.

See you in a few weeks, my friend. ("A few weeks?" you are asking, puzzled. I am smiling. You are picturing the exact smile I have on my face right now.)

Missing you,
Ricardo

Viraj,

I am frightened about the future. It seems so short, I feel we are doomed. It never used to trouble me, knowing that we could die at any moment. Even now, I think about dying, and I am not scared. But then… I think about you. I think about how I can’t protect you, but it is all I want to do. These years we have spent not being honest, I regret them all. You are the only one, you are my partner, my heart. Can you forgive my cowardice? Even now, I say it only in writing: You are the one I love.

...

[The letter goes on like this for several paragraphs. It’s bad. I'm not subjecting the game to it.]

Yours and only yours,
Guillen

To the one and only Levi,

So, Raf spilled everything about the wedding, didn’t he? He thought it was pretty funny, though, judging by how pleased with himself he sounded in his letters. He can be such a brat, but whatever, you're his friend too. He's excited about the wedding and getting to show off, even though he's been stomping around like a little general. I think he's nervous because he has to introduce his new boyfriend to Mom and Dad (and Mexico). It's a lot of pressure.

Not having you around makes my life just a little more boring. Are you having fun? Living it up? Senior year's the time to do it. Rafael says you're seeing someone, but in typical Raf fashion, he's all secrets. Whoever this guy is, it's a crime he took you off the market. I can hear the hearts of a million men breaking! (Maybe even mine!!! Jaja just kidding.) But you're bringing him to the wedding, right? I need to meet the man that tamed the indomitable Levi Kramer.

Can't wait to see you again. Although I think you'll find that Rafael isn't the only Ramirez brother who has something up his sleeve. See you in a few weeks. (Ooh, how mysterious!)

Missing my friend,
Ricardo

The fantabulous Ricardo,

You can still send me the official wedding invitation if you'd like so I can ooh and ahh over it. I'm sure my little Abuelitas back home are going to lose their minds when I show them. They're already giddy after I told them I was going to your wedding so maybe it was a good thing Raf spilled the beans before break.

I'm having a blast. I got new piercings and tattoos and you won't be able to recognize me when you see me. The cameras are gonna love it. AND I went to Vegas for New Years with my new Honey~ Once you meet him, you'll see why I let myself be tamed. He's a total Good Boy and domestic as fuck and he's the Head Boy.

[Taped in is a moving picture of Cecil and Levi, taken selfie-style with Levi holding the camera. They're standing in front of the Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas Sign, with a few other tourists taking selfies in the background. They keep exchanging smitten looks before finally smiling for the camera.]

Remember Azurcrest's outrageously tall Prefect from last year? Cecil Honeychurch. That's him. ISN'T HE THE CUTEST??? Even his name is cute.

And what do you mean in a few weeks? What's so mysterious? You tease.

I guess that gives me one more thing to look forward to.

Levi
