Steady fingers run slowly through pitch black hair. Kendall smiles gently down at the figure that lies asleep below him in his arms. Yes that's right.
His arms.
It seems impossible that someone this wonderful, this amazing, this… absolutely gorgeous could be his. Carlos Garcia, the love of his life, breathes steadily as he dreams sweet dreams, not stirring a bit. Kendall smiles a bit at this thought, because that's' what his and Carlos' relationship seems like. Just a sweet dream that he's dreamed over and over again more nights then he can count.
But he knows it's not.
Because he remembers the day when Carlos' made a heart with his hands and spoke three short, simple, and utterly beautiful words,
"I love you"
And Kendall's heart went from 70 to 7,000 in one second. As if the heart Carlos had just formed was his own and he was holding it in his sweet, gentle hands.
And before Kendall could even think about it he swiftly embraced his best friend and whispered a sentence just as simple.
"I love you too"
Kendall smiles at the not so distant memory and sighs in bliss. Suddenly Carlos flinches and opens one of his eyes ever so slightly. "Kendall…"
"Shh. Go back to sleep." Kendall whispers, kissing the Latino's forehead. Carlos smiles up at his boyfriend and snuggles up to him before yawning and resuming his slumber. Kendall looks at the clock and decides to join his lover. But before he closes his eyes he chuckles and smiles to himself.
"Oh yeah, I must be dreaming."
