This is Love
(Niley One-Shot)

I pressed my hands against his chest and felt his heart beats; slow and steady, just like him. This simple, fragile, action made his eyes flutter in the slightest confusion, but he flickered back to reality the millisecond his deep, chocolate eyes landed on my blissful face, and I saw the tips of his mouth turn up.

Smiling uncontrollably, I lifted my hand from his chest and placed two fingers on my lips, and, making sure that he was watching, I kissed my fingertips and moved my hand away, leaning down to press my lips against his.

The moment we collided, my heart tripped over a few beats. Exhilaration flashed through me, and I pulled away soon after a few magical seconds had passed.

"Miles..." His breath landed near my ear, sending shivers down my body. Releasing my firm grip on his hand, I turned to face him directly, and he pulled my face closer until our noses for touching. "I love you..." He waiting a few moments as I grabbed at his words. He loves me...

My grin spread even wider, and I placed two trembling fingers on his left cheek and brushed my nose against his right one. I leaned in closer until our lips met, and I fought against the will to faint from happiness and nervousness. The words he had been waiting to hear sprang from my lips, "I love you, too."

His soft lips pushed into my mine, and all nervousness melted away. My soul lightened, and something lifted off my shoulders. I flicked my tongue around in his mouth once before pulling away, breathing heavily.

He wasn't done yet.

His lips landed on my nose; he seemed to understand that I could not take anymore kissing for the moment. He pecked my nose gently and traced the scar on my face. His finger started at my forehead, curving down around the left side of my cheek, moving across my chin and finally landing on my shoulder.

His eyes turned from a happy glow to sympathetic. He knew where I had gotten my scar from--and he hated that he was there to save me.

I nodded my head, closing my eyes and pulled him closer, out of his trance. This kiss laster longer than the usually 10 seconds, and I somehow was able to keep up with it.

"Nick..." I mumbled against the kiss, trying to turn my face away.

"Tell me later." He deepened the kiss and I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he slipped his hand into my shirt.

I knew that he wasn't going to do anything. He had promised, and I trusted him. But, I knew how hard it was to control yourself sometimes, especially if it was what you had wanted for a long time, the only thing you couldn't get.

I let his warm hands feel his way around my waist, still caught up in the kiss. His hands stopped on my lower back, and stayed there.

"Do you trust me, Miley?" His voice was a soft whisper.

"Yes."

This is love.

I wanted to write a completely happy, loving one-shot for those mushy-hearted viewers!
