Just before you close your eyes
"I love you", he had said.
Love?
Bright, blonde hair tickled his chest.
He still didn't know love.
But if this was love⦠he knew right away that love was all he would ever need to survive.
Still, not just any kind of love.
Only the love from this beautiful creature, resting on top of his chest.
For the first time in what felt like an entire lifetime, he felt gentle sleep take him over.
His ginger-red bangs fell into his eyes, but two warm, gentle fingers were quickly there on his forehead, to clear his view.
The sleep sought redhead opened his emerald green eyes, slowly, only to meet the sparkling blue ones. The most beautiful sight he'd seen in his lifetime.
Pale fingers ran carefully through golden spikes, over tan cheeks and resting,
only for a moment, on the scars that resembled tiny whiskers.
"I said, 'I love you' " the blonde had spoken softly once more.
The ginger smiled inside his mind, and it was made clear that he would want to hear those three words over and over and over again for the rest of his days.
"Thank you.. I believe I.. l-love you also.."
Sleep invaded the redhead, leaving the most mysterious and satisfied smile on his face.
Left in question, the blonde observed the smile for a long while, trying to figure out exactly what it was about.
The answer he could not find, but somewhere in the back of his mind he understood that he was the first person ever to see it.
Thankfully.
