Chapter Text
Dear Noa,
I have known you as many names over the years, from Genderbent Travis, Natalia, Babka, Coffee, Kion, Rae, and now, Noa. I’ve watched you grow over the years and you have been the most important person to me since we were both nine years old. You mean everything to me and I am so thankful and proud of you. Nine years, I watched you make it through fourth and fifth grade, middle school, and now, I’ve watched you fight like hell through high school. It’s been a rollercoaster the entire time and that’s okay. We’re on one of the low parts now but ahead, there’s a really high peak waiting for us to reach it with open arms.
From dealing with people leaving us behind, to your dad and his bullshit, almost losing each other to my mom’s bigotry, and everything in between, we have fought tooth and nail to this day and I am so so very proud of you for making it this far. I’ve watched you grow, I've watched you change, I’ve watched you find who you are. I’ve seen you at your lowest and your highest and given everything, you are the strongest person I know for making it this far.
It took me a minute to think of what I wanted to give you as a graduation present but then it hit me. What characters have we made to grow with us? The nuggets. So, I sat down and wrote you a fic about them and how much they have changed and yet, just like us, part of them are the very same kids who met each other when they needed each other most.
I love you to the moon and back Noa. I would probably break every rule in the book for you and I mean that so sincerely. I love you more than the air I breathe, the sun on my skin, the grass under my feet, the food that fuels me, and the earth itself. I love you more than I love helping others, I love you more than I love pineapples, I love you more than I love books. I love you more than I love living.
Thank you for existing, thank you for living, thank you for being you. I know you believe it’s the bare minimum but it is everything to me. In fact, it’s more than everything. It’s my very reason to live. You mean the world and so much more to me and I could never be more proud of you than I am today.
You’ve made it, Noa. You made it to a day neither of us dreamed of when we met and you made it there before me. I am so very proud of you and I always will be. I love you to the stars and back, a hundred times over, and beyond.
Love,
Emma (Dyno)
