His Eyes

All disclaimers apply.

She loved to wake up next to his warm body. She didn't even know when he had come in and gotten in bed with her.

Watching him sleep, she thought about all the little things she loved about him

The way his silky curls dance around her fingers when she runs her hand through his hair. How soft his hands are when he reaches for her face. He sleeps on his back with his hands thrown up over his head, snoring softly.

But mostly, it's his eyes.

The way they light up whenever he is studying one of his bugs. The way they cloud over with pain when he has to reveal something of himself to outsiders.

As she is watching, his lashes start to flutter open. He looks at her with those midnight blue eyes that she has grown to love so much it hurts. In his eyes she can see her past, but, more importantly, she sees her future.

She sees all the love and trust he has for her.

Just like his daddy.
