After he was done washing, Jaskier walked into the room with you. Already lying down in the bed, you smiled at him as soon as you saw him, and he gladly reciprocated the gesture. At this point, your smiles were a natural reaction, like merely seeing each other automatically activated your smiling muscles.
“Well, love” He muttered, stopping to blow the candle out and then turning around to face you. “It’s my favorite time of the day”
“I’m flattered” You playfully told him, patting the spot in the bed next to you.
“I mean it, Y/N” Jaskier wouldn’t stop smiling as he lied down with you, immediately draping his arm over your frame and pulling you closer to him. “No matter what the day brings, I know when night falls I get to lie down with you. That makes everything alright”
You pursed your lips to conceal your smile, however still holding his gaze. There was a bright grin in his deep blue eyes, one that perfectly replicated the one plastered on his lips.
“I see through you, bard” You pushed him a little, only widening his grin. “You’re only trying to woo me”
“Maybe I am” He cooly shrugged, pushing you even closer to him until your fronts were pressed together. “Is it working?”
“It is” You playfully pushed against his chest, even if you allowed yourself to smile. “Just the way you’re looking at me makes me want to melt”
“Good, now you know how I feel” Jaskier leaned in to kiss you, first on the cheek and then on the lips. “The minute I met you, the colors of my life began to pour”
You gawked at him, astonished that such beautiful, meaningful and genuine words had just come out of his mouth. Surely, Jaskier complimented you often and usually said wonderful and sappy things, but that one… it just struck a nerve, it made you feel somehow happier than you had already been a second ago.
Overwhelmed as his passionate voice rang in your ears, you shoved your face in his chest, hiding your expression all the more with your hands.
“What?” Jaskier squeezed you against him, tenderly rubbing your back.
“Stupid… that was so romantic…” You sniffed through your nose, genuinely feeling emotional tears welling up in your eyes. “You’re gonna make me cry…”
“Good, as long as they’re happy tears” He kissed you in the head, creating butterflies that flew at will in your stomach.
“You…” Reluctantly, you peered up at him and smiled in spite of yourself. “You are a flirt and a rascal and I fucking adore you“
You drank from his smile when you pressed your lips against his, passionately tugging at his shirt as though you never were close enough to him.
“And you…” He continued kissing you, trying to talk at the same time and punctuating his words with loving pecks. “With your… devilish charm and your… dashing good looks… I love you with my whole fucking heart”
