His eyes slip closed

almost on reflex

as her fingers rest at the nape

of his neck, nearly tickling him

with how hyper aware his body seemed,

static dancing across her fingers,

and then the moment

that his heart seemed to know was coming,

as if it took over his mind for a moment,


It's soft and warm,

like the sun slowly warming him up

and she moves - her lips tracing

across his as if they were sketching

a few perfect lines into, gently as a bird's feather


it's as if Subaru gave all of his breath to her,

even when she pulls away,

and her pretty eyes fill his vision,


and it was nothing like how he thought

falling in love would be,

even as his dark eyes meet

the brilliant gaze of his girlfriend's

gentle compassionate eyes.
