[It takes him a few seconds to find his breath again, nodding almost imperceptively, panting heavily against her breasts. After the moment passes he tilts his head sideways to look up at her with a weary, satisfied smile on his lips, his hands shifting to curve underneath her, holding her in return. He's going to have to move at some point, but right now he's quite comfortable, and she looks just as cozy as he feels.]
Me too, [he says again, closing his eyes briefly and kissing her collar just above the crystal, which is the most he can reach until he moves again.] Love you.
[She looks radiant, even when she's a sweaty mess of limbs, hair tousled around her face, naked and glowing. Maybe especially then. He's transfixed by the way she looks at him, loving and happy and warm right to the soul. It's moments like this that make him realize how foolish he'd be if he doubted the sincerity of her feelings for him. Not because she's willing to do this with him, but because he's seen that look on her face countless times before, and it has the same effect on him every time, here, in the kitchen, in public, anywhere- he feels nothing but warmth, safety, love. Her presence is a balm to all his hurts and a reminder of what can be good about being here and being alive.]
