Ruh Roh (One on One)

His eyelids fluttered and he looked up at her.

“Pardon?”

 

He flushed slightly, leaning into her touch.

“I’m not, really, but thank you.”

 

The scar was a creamy silver against his skin and he tilted his head slightly, his eyes thoughtful.

“You’re sweet.”

 

Her words gave him pause and he considered her for a moment before shifting to get onto the couch next to her, wrapping his arms around her.

 

He kissed the top of her head, curling around her.

“I’m in love with you too.”

 

He took a small breath and she would be able to feel the crisscrossing scars shift on his skin with the action. He looked down at her for a moment, his hand coming up to cup her jaw before he kissed a line from her forehead, then to her nose, and finally finding her mouth.

 

“I love you too,” he murmured, his nose brushing her skin.

 

He rubbed her back slowly, burying his face in her shoulder.

 

He followed her soon after, his eyes fluttering closed.

 

(Yep!)
