We were laying in bed, Vyvyan holding me firmly in his arms, all wrapped in a blanket and resting my face on his chest.
His heartbeat was very fast. He must've been really scared when he found me collapsed in there, sobbing uncontrollably and unable to even speak, let alone explain what was wrong.
It was simple though. Everything was just too much.
However Vyv could've been too much most of the time, it was his caring tone of voice and gentle (as much as it was possible) hug that made the world go silent and disappear for a while. Everything was silent except for Vyvyan's breath and the pounding of his heart. He wiped a tear running down my cheek which made me let out a comfortable noise.
"You good?" I heard his voice, as gentle as Vyv was capable of. That person was so sweet. When we were together, he kept trying to act so soft and be so careful not to hurt me or stress me out, being aware how overwhelmed I could get. He wasn't successful sometimes, but when it comes to feelings and emotions, even the effort means a lot.
I can appreciate the effort. Besides, I'd love him anyway because he was a chaotic lad most of all. It wasn't at my capacity to understand how much he held himself back when we were together, I only could have the general idea.
"I am. Thank you."
I heard him growl very faintly and felt his embrace get even more firm. He was happy. Every time he got appreciated, it cheered him up so much, it became a part of my everyday morning ritual.
Brush teeth.
Have breakfast.
Make sure Vyvyan knows how important he is for me.
What would I do if he wasn't around… Probably just crumbled into pieces and lay on the ground until I faded into the great nothingness.
"Can I… Can I do something else?"
"This is good enough."
"What about more than enough?"
He made me chuckle. That bastard was so good at making me smile. I squished even closer to him, burying my head into his neck. He laughed very faintly and gave me a light kiss in my hair. I lifted my head and softly touched his lips with mine.
"There is nothing more than enough than this," I whispered. Vyv blushed and smiled the intimate way I loved more than anything else in the whole world. There wasn't any goddamn person or place I would rather be than in Vyvyan's arms at that exact moment.
"You're such a silly bum, aren't you?" Vyv teased me playfully after a while of comforting silence. I raised myself on my arms, leaned forward and looked him in the eyes.
"What are you then?"
"In love with you."
