Word Count: 310
"Forever is a long time. But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side."
-He Is We
"Stop!" Daphne squeals, running along, Theo in close pursuit.
"I'll catch you!" Theo calls, but Blaise can tell he isn't running as fast as he can. He'll let Daphne win; he always does.
Smiling to himself, Blaise sits in the shade, watching his boyfriend and girlfriend run through the park, laughing and cheering like children, like they're still as young as they had been when they'd all first falls in love. It's hard to believe nearly a decade has past since that wonderful day their fourth year. They had worried that they would grow bored with one another or grow apart with the years, but they're still going strong.
"Got you!" Theo laughs, putting forth a burst of speed and launching himself forward, his arms wrapping around Daphne.
Giggling, the two of them sit on either side of Blasie. Theo slips his hand into Blaise's, their fingers lacing perfectly together. Daphne rests her head against Blaise's shoulder, absently plucking flowers from the ground.
"You're over here, being all brooding and pensive," she notes, brushing the soft petals of purple wildflower over his skin. "What were you thinking about?"
"How far we've come."
It hasn't always been easy. Sometimes, loving two people feels like drinking Essence of Insanity. It takes work and effort, but, in the end, there's no denying that it's paid off. Daphne and Theo are both perfect. He cannot imagine his life without them by his side.
They've put a lot of care into this relationship, and it has grown into something beautiful. And to think, it all started with little, simple moments just like the one they're sharing now.
"I love you two," he tells them, and his heart still flutters, nearly ten years later, when they say it back.
