01 | Nothing Really Matters

Fitz was sitting in the armchair of their one bedroom apartment with a book in his hands. He kept reading the same line over and over again because although he had an exam the very next day his attention kept being stolen by the woman laying on his bed - wearing nothing but his shirt and her underwear. Mellie was too distracted by her own reading to notice him starring at her. He couldn't help but smile when his eyes met her. She was the sunshine in his life, the only person who has ever truly believed in him. The only one who has never let him down. Just the mere thought of her in his mind would make him smile and whenever and wherever he was with her the whole world would disappear.

I see her face
And in my mind
I seize the day
Whenever she's nearby
It's like nothing really matters
Nothing really matters

Fitz closed the book. It didn't matter how hard he tried to focus his mind kept wandering to the woman in this bed. He couldn't believe how beautiful she was. How effortless beautiful she really was. He loved the blue in her eyes. And how bright they shine every time she'd look at him. He loved her laugh and how loud it was. He loved how she could how he felt just by looking at him. Even though sometimes he hated how easy she could read him. He hated the story of how they really met. He hated with all his gut. She deserved more than that meeting at a bar. She deserved more than being just a deal to his father. But one thing he couldn't deny - she was the best thing his strange father had brought to his life. She was all the he needed.

She completes me
How she reads me
Right or wrong
It's so clear she
All that I need
All I need

He loved the dimple in her chin. He loved the serious look in her eyes and how she'd bite her finger when she was trying to focus on something. He loved how she'd make him feel alive. If someone would ever ask how much she meant to him, he would dare to say he didn't need air cause she was all he needed to live. She was the light, his light - the only thing that had ever made him feel alive. She was his guiding star.

I know what it feels like
Swimming through the stars when I see her
And I don't need air cause I breathe her
When I'm lost
And need a sign
She leads the way
And I'll be fine

Fitz let the book fall against the floor as he got up from the armchair. He climbed into bed and kissed her leg. She kicked her leg as a way to try him to stop.

"Stop! We have an exam tomorrow!" she said between giggles.

"Like you need to study" Fitz took the book from her hands and threw it somewhere in the room before kissing her lightly on the lips.

"But I do!" she tried to escape from his embrace in order to get the book he had thrown.

"You're top of the class, Mels" he pinned her against the mattress "Besides I have more interesting things in mind" he was going to kiss her when he suddenly stopped. He kept his eyes on her and a smile on his face.

"What is it?"

"You are just so beautiful" he caressed her face as she looked away while her cheeks turned red. He made her look at him again. "Don't be shy" he laughed "You are."

"Thank you" she mumbled

"You're the only good thing my father has ever brought into my life" he pressed his forehead against her as she wrapped her arms around his torso. "You complete me, Mels" he whispered against her lips.

"I love you" those were the only words that crossed her mind. The only thing she could think of saying. She unwrapped her arms from his torso and wrapped them around his neck before kissing him with all the passion and the fire she had inside.

It didn't take long for his hands to find the hem of her shirt. It didn't take long for her moans to leave her lips. For his touch to burn her skin and for her body to shiver beneath him. But what mattered the most to him was that if she was ok then he was alright. She was all that mattered to him when nothing really mattered.

Well she's OK
And I'm all right
When she's awake
I'm up all night
Nothing really matters
