Randomness: Sweet Dreams
Ivan laid on the couch, a book held open in his grasp as he read it with great interest. After a while of reading he had almost forgotten that Alfred was sitting next to him watching an afternoon re-run on t.v. He would glance up now and again and see the young american watching boredly with tired eyes, flipping through channels during commercials then returning to the same channel he had started on. Every now and then he'd nod off for a moment then wake and stretch and yawn as if he weren't really tired. A few short shows later, the american's eye's slid shut, surrendering to sleep, his head bobbing down resting his chin against his chest. Ivan was deeply absorbed in his chapter when Alfred's body sagged in a scrunched up slouching position then slowly fell over, uncurling itslef leaving his head resting on Ivan's lap.
Ivan looked down from his book, greeted by a peaceful sleeping face. With a sigh, he marked his spot in the text, closed the book and placed it on the coffee table in front of them then pulled off Alfred's glasses, making sure they didn't get broken and sitting them next to the book. He stared down at the young man thinking to himself 'He's so cute. It's adorable how childish he looks and he's rarely this quiet.' He placed a hand on the side of his head and gently stroked his blonde hair back. His cowlick bouncing back into place automatically after every stroke.
Ivan couldn't help but smile. Alfred looked like he was still just a child, sweet, adorable and innocent. He seemed unknowing of the hells of war and the negativity and hatred that plagued the real world but he's seen and experienced it all. He truly was still young, younger than all the other's but he still has seen some pretty dark things and yet he remains so adorable and untouched by it all. He continued to observe him. The gentle rise and fall of his chest. The carelessness of how he slept. The quiet breaths. All so peaceful and beautiful.
Alfred scrunched up his nose in his sleep in a playful way while moving around just a little bit then settled in place with a smile spreading across his face. He was happy in either world, dream or reality, it didn't matter. Ivan continued to watch Alfred dream, amused by all the different emotions he seemed to express with so little effort and facial change. He didn't notice Alfred had moved his hand to his, wrapping his fingers around his slowly while mumbling something under his breath. Shocked at first but mostly curious, Ivan leaned down closer listening to his words. Alfred mumbled them, making them almost weaker than a whisper. Ivan leaned down closer until he could feel Alfred's breath on his cheek, low and even. He caught the words "I love you." seconds before Alfred raised his head and tilted it ever so slightly, catching Ivan's lips with his own. He kissed him gently as if it were a fragile breath on an early Spring morning. Like it was the first seconds of a new fawns life. The moment was savored and explored. Held tighly yet caressed with a featherly touch. It felt like it was worth everything in the world and yet completely priceless. They parted after a few seconds, inside their hearts, it felt like eternity. They hammered to a lullaby so sweet only known as the other's own heart.
Alfred reached up and touched Ivan's lips with his finger tips gently, tracing them slowly. Ivan wished to kiss once more but knew that one could never be replicated. And that moment was all theirs and no one else's. Their own sweet memory, light and fluttery like a dream in some far off world. A world that was all their own. Alfred smiled up into Ivan's deep violet eyes. They were sweet and caring even though he knew well all the shadows that lurked deep within. The bad things he's seen but none of that meant anything. The past didn't define them. It never has and never will. Time will never break them apart but pull them closer together. A few seconds alone together felt like a lifetime of happiness.
Ivan gazed into Alfred's ocean blue eyes as he cradled his head in his lap and smiled. They were so full of life and energy. Ivan realized though that thier usual empty sad shadow was gone and for once, Alfred looked the happiest he's ever been. He smiled up at Ivan "I know what your think." He said as he sat up and pulled himself in closer to Ivan, cuddling up next to him.
Alfred rested his head on Ivan's shoulder as he gave an incredulous smirk "What am i think then?"
Alfred gave a happy tired sigh "That i don't look so sad and miserble anymore, right?"
Ivan wrapped his warm around Alfred's body, holding him close "Da. You are the change?"
Alfred snuggled closer "It's because i have you. I love you Ivan."
Ivan kissed Alfred's forehead as they laid next to each other huddled close. Ivan wrapping his blanket around them both as he smiled "I love you too Alfred."
He watched Alfred doze back off to sleep then soon he too nodded off. His usually cold body, warm and inviting in Alfred's presence. He was truly happy now for once in his life all because of Alfred.
