Beauty

He couldn't believe it had taken him so long to notice her. Truth be told, he had always pushed away his thoughts of her because she was so much younger; he would never have pursued her if she hadn't started it first.

But now, she's his, and that's all that matters.

He watches her rhythmic breathing, her chest rising and falling with each breath. A smile creeps onto his face as he tries to memorize her every feature. He studies her intently – her always-smiling lips, her dainty nose, the curve of her eyebrows, the swoop of her bright pink hair as it falls across her forehead. Her beauty captivates him in a way nothing else can.

He wraps an arm around her slim-but-growing waist, and plants a whiskery kiss on her cheek.

She shifts a little and smiles, snuggling down into his embrace.

The war outside is nothing compared to the beauty he's holding in his arms.


A/N: Two more to go! Show me some love and maybe I'll have an update for Candy Floss and Dark Chocolate for you at some point soon. :D
