The single word I so desperately needed to say was at the tip of my tongue, before all of the memories of the past two years came flooding back, all at once. The first, I recognized, was Relly and I's first kiss. Just the thought sent goosebumps and shocks all through me.
"Guys! Guys! You'll never believe this!" Relly's voice was sharp and loud, filled with awe and excitement.
A moment later, his pounding footsteps drew near, and he burst through the attic door. It banged against the wall and bounced back at him, but he paid it no mind.
"What is it?" Jerod's voice seemed to knock Relly out of whatever spell of happiness he was in, or enough for him to speak.
"We have a show! Our own show! The first!"
My hands froze around the bass, my body tensing in joy. I jolted up, catching the look of pure euphoria covering Relly's face, and knew, that this was real. We had our. Own. Show.
Before I could even think another word, my body acted of it's own, swinging the bass down to the worn wooden floor beside me, and raising me from my seat. I could feel my legs moving, my muscles stretching and bunching as I ran across the room to where Relly stood.
I felt a smile, larger than I had ever smiled before, take its shape on my face, as I catapulted myself from the ground straight in to Relly's open arms. He didn't even flinch or stumble as my legs locked themselves about his waist, my arms wrapping around his neck, hands weaving in to his jet black hair.
And next thing I knew, our lips were pressed together, tightly. And it was all I felt as my body turned in to flame and ash and water all at once. Sparks shot through my every nerve ending and vein as our lips moved tenderly, but excitedly, together, molding and plying with each other.
I was in ecstasy as he pulled me even closer, gently brushing his tongue along my lower lip.
"Get a room!"
Butt's voice broke through our walls of magic, and Relly pulled away. A small smile still lit his face, and I could tell that this one wasn't just because of our show.
It was because of me.
As soon as one memory ended, another flew in to my brain, still stopping my speech, though I knew for sure what I wanted to say.
The sky was a dark navy blue, layering over the bright stars like a velvet veil. There was a soft breeze, enough to keep a light sweater on.
Relly and I sat side by side, backs against the ancient bark of the oak tree, sitting against the worn grass of the graveyard. Our hands were clasped between us, loosely. We knew we would never loose the other, not ever the way we had before.
A yawn escaped me, and I rested against Relly, head on his shoulder, breathing soft, matching his.
Gently, his hand left mine, only to reach around behind me. I scooted closer, hoping this wasn't pushing anything too far. I knew by the small sigh he gave, that this was okay.
I woke up with kisses being feathered along my face, all light and delicate. They ran along my jaw, and behind my ear, until landing on my own lips, sending shots of fire and ice through me.
Relly pulled me to him, delving more and more in to the world of lust. But I was okay with that.
With Relly, I went to the gods and back.
Before another thought could clog my mind of this moment, I opened my mouth to speak.
"Yes."
Relly's eyes caught on fire, the red turning to molten rubies, the purple all a lusty haze. The most breathtaking smile I had ever seen, slightly lopsided, spread across his face like angel's wings, as he scooped me in to his muscled arms.
This moment seemed to compete with our own intimate bliss, and the rush of entering the heavenly fold every time we played. But this was amazing in its own way.
