It's been a crazy few weeks for me so I thought I would post a fun, light fic to this collection that I originally posted on Tumblr today. I promise to update my fics, but for some reason, writing has been hard. It took a lot to write this small fic today, but I PROMISE to update my fics. Just be patient a little while longer.

Description│ This is a tumblr request from queenhap. :) PROMPT: "No. 21 'No one has a heart of stone.'"
Rating│This story is rated K. PURE FLUFF WARNING.
Walter looked at his and Paige's hands entangled together as his girlfriend slept soundly on top of him. It had been their third intimate night together since they declared their love, and Walter was still wondering if he was dreaming. It was quite possible; he hallucinated of their confession once; who was to say it couldn't happen again?
But as he shifted slightly and craned his neck to see the woman's peaceful features, he knew he couldn't be dreaming. No dream version of Paige was as beautiful as the woman in his arms. He leaned forward a little and pressed a gentle kiss to her crown and smiled as she hummed softly in response.
How had he lived without her by his side for so long?
Charles Darwin once said that "a scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone."
Five years ago, Walter believed him. Five years ago, he had never known what love felt like. Five years ago, his heart was simply a circulatory muscle. Five years ago, he, himself, had a heart of stone.
But, once Paige and Ralph came into his life, things changed drastically for him.
Eventually, as he fell hard for Paige Dineen, Darwin's statement became more and more inadequate. Walter fell more in love with Paige with each passing day, and he was discovering just how limitless love can be.
Paige stirred a little and lift her head slightly, her half-open eyes meeting his. "You're still awake?"
Walter nodded with a smile. "Just thinking."
Paige yawned before leaning over to press a kiss over his heart. "What about?"
The genius laughed quietly. "If I told you now, you wouldn't remember in the morning. You're barely awake."
She yawned again and smacked her lips together. "I suppose you're right." She lowered herself back down on top of him and rested her cheek on top of his shoulder before placing a gentle kiss on his neck. "Get some sleep, Walter."
"I will," he combed his fingers through his girlfriend's silky, smooth hair. "I promise."
"Good," her voice was almost incoherent, "Love you, Walt."
"I love you, too," Another warm smile colored his lips. "Good night My Little Arrhythmia."
"Mhmm," she hummed sleepily as she snugged closer to him. "Good… night… nerd… boy."
With his right arm encircling around her waist, he scooted forward a little bit before lying down, flat on his back. Paige readjusted naturally, wrapping one of her legs over his.
Walter was glad Darwin was wrong.
