Welcome~! Skitty here! It's been a while since I posted contestshipping since Inspiration, so I'm back~!

Prepare to see more contestshipping fics on their way. :) I'll try my best to post as often as I can, and I hope you guys can leave some positive feedback? :)

Simply saying "I love you."

Drew's POV

Sitting on the couch with my arm wrapped snuggly around brunette that claimed the position of my girlfriend, I stared at the credits of the movie as they rolled across the darkening TV screen.

"What did you think of the movie, May?" I asked, grabbing the remote and pausing it.

Silence answered me, making me peer over at her curiously.

As I should have expected, she had fallen asleep tucked into my side. Earlier when she was shifting around to get more comfortable, it was foreseeable that she would be in the position to fall asleep while she at it, after all, she was May.

I tapped my phone and it illuminated the time. Nearly midnight.

The entire room seemed like it was at the mercy of the night, a sleepy blanket covering us, silence being a soothing background sound to our breathing. In the faint light coming from another room, I admired quiet outgoing girl who was so close yet probably worlds away from me right now.

The way her head rested on my shoulder restricted my movement, but I refused dare to move anyway, because it would disrupt this moment. Cuddled up against me, I could feel her loose grip around my arm as she unconsciously snuggled closer. Her soft brown hair fell into her face, in a way that didn't obstruct her natural charm, but accentuate it. Being deep in sleep, she looked absolutely peaceful. Gosh, she was so beautiful. Did May know she had this hold on me?

She looked so fragile right now, it was so different compared to when she was awake. I know May was capable of taking care of herself, and offer her aid to me, but I always felt the urge to protect her. Even if anything was scaring her in her dreams, I would be ready to defend her in an instant. I wanted to be there to protect her so nothing would change who she was. I knew it wasn't fully possible, but it wouldn't stop me from trying.

May was one of a kind.

Ever since I had met her, she was always lingering on my mind, I wasn't quite sure why, but she intrigued me greatly. Whether it was from her childish behavior to her quirky personality, I couldn't forget her no matter what I tried to do, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Despite being rivals for so long, I had to admit, deep feelings for her had implanted themselves inside of me even before I had realized them myself.

I love her.

Despite being the romantic she was, it was the same with May, she had no idea I liked her at first. My confession of my feelings to her had been surprising yet welcomed, which I was hugely relieving for me.

The more time we spent together, the more I realized I love her.

I tried to let her know all the time, whenever I could, because a lot happens in life and I want her to be aware of this.

Knowing that sleeping on this couch all night would be far from comfortable, I carefully detached her from me, then wrapped my arms around her to carry her back to bed.

In the movement, I could hear her faintly mumbling.

"...Drew?" she asked. Her sapphire blue eyes flickered open, sleep still clouding her vision.

"Just taking you to bed," I whispered back, trying not to wake her any further from her slumber. I couldn't help but tease her even now. "Go back to sleep, you must be tired if you fell asleep during the movie." I paused for a moment as I approached the stairs. "I love you, May."

Probably too tired to make a retort, May moved her arms around my neck, making it easier for me to hold her, and for me to drop a kiss on her forehead. Her eyes fluttered shut as she snuggled into again.

"I love you too, Drew." May replied sleepily. "I love you."

Hehe, I thought I'd get the easiest one out of the way. :)

These three little words hold a lot of meaning, let the person you care about hear them! ;)

I'll see you all again soon! More ideas are on their way.

Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a beautiful day!
