Ruh Roh (One on One)

He laughed, shaking his head.

“No, because I have been unable to even hold another person’s hand until quite recently.”

 

He kissed her cheek as they got up to the apartment, opening the door with a free hand.

“Don’t let the conversation freak you out. I was just curious.”

 

“I know, but it can be a little awkward.”

 

He sighed, ruffling her hair with his long fingers.

“Are you hungry?”

 

“I could make some soup or something. I’m pretty sure we have some pasta from the other night.”

 

He frowned, tilting his head.

“Are you tired?”

 

He watched her for a moment, her violet eyes adoring before he moved to her, kneeling down by the couch.

 

He kissed the tip of her nose, brushing her hair back.

“I love you.”

 

He eyed her for a minute, his gaze intense before he rested his head on his hand, closing his eyes.

 

He leaned into her touch, his reaction a stark contrast to when she first met him. His blonde hair was still damp from the water and he relaxed, keeping his eyes closed.
