Title: Love Part II
Genre: Romance
Summary: His thoughts about her. Also titled The Fluffy Adventures of Marco and Aerie Part II
To him, love was the way she smiled, always bright enough to light up the room. It was the gleam in her eyes whenever she looked at him. It was the childish pout on her face whenever he refused to let her go anywhere by herself.
Love was how her body fit perfectly against his. How natural, how right, it felt to hold her. How even something as simple as holding her hand could send sparks throughout his system.
Love was the frustration he felt when she directly disobeyed an order. It was the annoyance that even after all this time, she still refused to listen to him.
It was the sadness he felt when he had to leave her. But it was also the pure joy when he came back and found her waiting for him.
It was the way his eyes never seemed to stop following her, as though she were a magnet to him. It was the way, no matter what, she got into trouble and he ran to save her.
It was his promise to protect her, even if they were separated by the oceans themselves.
It was the feeling of never wanting her to leave his arms.
It was the white-hot jealousy whenever he saw her even saying "hello" to another man.
It was their child, with his blue eyes and her brown hair.
And although he never said the exact words "I love you" all that often, to him, love was Aerie.
Can someone please explain how this collection of one-shots has mostly turned into a collection of Artful Phoenix stuff? Not that I don't mind writing it, of course, I'm just curious.
(Now that I think about it, it may be because I don't get to write romance in The Artful Dodger yet, so I'm just letting it all out here.)
Anyway, please favorite, follow, and review!
