Eiffel Tower, Paris

They sat on the tower, staring down at their city in awe.

Their arms were around each other and they were surrounded in a comfortable silence.

Their muscles ached a little from their everyday patrol of the city, and they were still a little breathless.

'Je te'aime.I love you.'

'I know.'

'You do ?'

'Of course. You weren't very good at hiding it.'

'Oh… I didn't really try.'

'Of course you didn't.'

'Yah… '

His ears were drooping.

She pulls him against her in a tight embrace.

'That's okay, I love you too.'

'What ?'

'Come on, you can't be that oblivious.'

'Wait, you mean as a friend-'

'No I mean as in love.

You've always been there when I needed you you've saved me when I didn't want you to you're a complete dork, but you're still a sweetheart and you've gone through hell with me and still support me. There's no one else in my life that means as much as you do, and I'm not sure I could go a day without your stupid puns. I think that means I love you.'

Silence fell over them as he stared at her mask, a hundred emotions played out on his face.

'What, cat got your tongue ?'

She smiled roguishly.

He returned it.

'No, but he'll have yours.'
