A peck on a cheek

and it began

Love spread through every vein

and joy found its mark

Alfred had learned that the other's name meant happy

as he made others so happy

He savored the little joys

and the tender moments together

Alfred loved the way his jacket dwarfed the other just right

He smiled,

joys could cling to them so easily

Hopefully,

this love would last forever

as Alfred loved him far more than anything he'd expected

The blond smiled

as little fingers fit in his hand perfectly

The little things mattered

and made them stronger.
