Work Text:
I can see you, right through my window, as you walk towards my shop.
The gait still the same as before, the sway of your hips, never failing me to lure, while sending all those pleasant shivers down my very human existence, all those feelings so good, too good to ignore.
Alas, as lately, I have to admit, that I have been a bit of a bore.
Denying you that sweet, sweet kiss I knew you so very much wanted, needed, having it for so long chased.
Even if yes, we did one share. But only briefly. And yet it was that. A kiss. Between us two shared and I must admit, it felt so, so very good. It was everything I could have ever have wished or hoped for.
And so, here were both are, at an impasse, and yet not.
Yes, after that kiss, we did talk. A lot too it seems, even if over a millennia or more we have each other known, always talking, sharing, but really not? That special bond we two do share, seems to have been ignored for way too long, as if some kind of spare.
Thankfully in the end, to some conclusions we finally came. Admitting to the other how we deep inside felt. Which as it turned out was exactly the same. Both of us having the same feelings, those of love.
And so here I stand, having waited for your very form to arrive for a while now.
Having become a little scared that maybe, just maybe, you did not really want to come back after me giving you a slight scare. After the kiss, some harsh words having been said.
And yet, I had to explain, what I really meant and so, we agreed to try something different.
So here you finally are, coming back, strolling from the car towards my bookshop. Back to me.
And not just that, but, you are carrying with you something precious. Something you would never leave behind no matter what. That much I know having learnt how much you care from them all.
Your beloved plants!
Those very ones, which you are now carrying into my bookshop!
My place of dwelling. And I am you fully letting to do just that. As we two are going to be here together, live together, love together in this very shop. As this place, my shop, is now yours as well. Ours like everything else.
Guess it always was that way, simply having ignored it all until now.
As we two, are a team of two.
I open the door for you, invite you inside my home, our home.
“Welcome home dear.”
The soft kiss I place on your lips, might have started as chaste.
But as soon as the plants are down placed, you grab me against your body so warm and inviting… and I cannot help but to yield into the invitation.
Simply letting you kiss me silly, in our home we do now share together. How idyllic.
