I noticed you liked me.
I remember the first time I noticed I liked you. I had been enhanced by you since the very first time I met you. But every time you talked to me, every time we trained, every time you willingly wanted to be with me, I only realized just then I had been in love with you since the very beginning.
I remember the first time I noticed you liked me. We had just finished a mission and you were staring at me with those deep brown eyes. But it was different than usual. Something had changed in your eyes, in the way you talked to me, in the way you looked at me. In the way you averted your eyes and your cheeks turned pink when I stared at you for too long.
Any time our hands brushed against each other I felt like I was going to explode into a million pieces because of all the feelings I had felt. Your warm hands and my cold hands. Yours were so rough and mine were so soft. And then when you actually started grabbing my hands instead of them just brushing against each other. That’s when I knew for sure.
That’s when I knew for sure you had felt the same the entire time. You had also felt those butterflies, that weird feeling in your stomach every time we talked to each other. That’s why you wanted to spend so much time with just me and no one else.
But then you supposedly died. I had missed you so much. I wanted to gush to you about how I had felt when I was with you. And then you came back.
You came back and you told me you missed me. Someone missing me was a foreign concept until you came along. I was always the one that missed, it was never the other way around.
The tears started rolling down my cheeks before I realized. At that moment all the feelings I had bundled up just came falling out one after the other. I told you everything, how I felt when I was with you and how I had felt when you weren't there. I had confessed to you. And you wore this soft smile, instead of the big grin you'd usually wear.
That’s when you kissed me.
And that’s when I kissed you back.
Your lips against my lips. Our tongues exploring each other’s mouths, finding every inch. Just us. I needed to melt into you. My tender, soft hands holding your cheeks and your rough but beautiful hands holding my nape with so much love. You put my hand right above your heart so I could feel how fast it was beating. I did the same with your hand.
I noticed you loved me.
