An Alphabet of Love Letters

by chartreuseian

Nikola's away for 27 long days but he's come up with a rather ingenious way of making sure he stays on Helen's mind. Established Teslen relationship set in the vague and misty future of season five.

18. Quivering

You are all as amazing as David Tennant and Catherine Tate in Much Ado About Nothing. Actually, better.

Q is for quivering, the soft shudder of your hair as you turn your head, the flutter of your eyelashes against my cheek, the halted intake of breath when I kiss your brow. You are a quiverer darling. In my arms, by my side, even from across the room you quiver in the most subtle way that I sometimes think only I can see it. Your fingers flutter from time to time, over your cheek, through your hair and even within my own. Your laugh can even quiver some days, the gentle chuckle becoming high and breathy as your lower lip shakes in the most enticing way.

I love watching you quiver, it makes my heart flop about in my chest. I could watch you quiver and shake all day long.

Q is for the quiver you set in my heart.
