Work Text:
On a bright day of spring, the sun was shining and you decided to keep a memory of what you two came through by doing a photo book. You double checked the weather with him because you wanted to avoid all surprises, most of the time you ended up at his apartment when the time wasn’t fair.
The idea came when you realised that you had a lot of pictures of him, you two, the places you visited and a lot of souvenirs.
You didn’t want it to vanish or stay on a digital support only. It was also another way to express your feelings.
“You really didn’t have to…”You noticed the tips of his ears turning red as soon as he started his sentence.
As an answer you smile and close the photobook for now. You're completely focused on him. You approach and give him a soft kiss on the cheek.
“Huh-huh, you deserved it and so much more.”
It’s been a while since you two got vacations. From time to time you usually go away on weekends since Zayne is busy at the hospital. He always found time for you, to send you messages, to call you or even leave a little note on the fridge or on your desk.
It was almost as if the elements were in tune with you.
You closed your eyes, felt the sun on your skin, the gentle breeze while you were hearing the birds singing. That was what you always wanted: enjoying the little pleasures of life. Of course, the mysteries around your heart weren’t solved, but you feel at peace.
Zayne was cuddling you, he was always gentle but precise.You always loved that aspect of his personality. He always took great care to make you feel comfortable. Eyes still closed you almost whisper :
“Do you remember when we had that weekend near the ice station ?”
He chuckled and gave you a soft look.
“Of course I also remember your skiing skills. " he answered in a soft voice.
You’re half surprised,you know how he loves to tease you, you poked him and smiled, you’re the one who’s playful most of the time. Or you’ll probably say it at the beginning of your relationship. You both are.
After pasting the photos into the album, you stretch a little bit . You were smiling and thinking about how time flies. You settled on a beautiful picnic,everything was so delightful. You could count on Zayne to bring what was missing; he never let you do all the hard work alone. Enjoying this beautiful weather with the man you love… You couldn't dream for a better day.
You didn’t have to talk that much to understand each other. You already spent some time just hugging him, eyes closed, just to feel relaxed. It was as if time had stopped. You felt lighter, when you looked at him, when you were in the prayer of doubts : you just had to look at him and you’ll feel secure. He was here and no one could separate you.
Yesterday you two weren’t even able to confess your feelings and now you’re partners in crime. He was so cold yet protective. You remember when you were young and he couldn’t control his evol. He was afraid he would almost kill you. You never had griefs on him because you knew how hard it was for an evoker to control their power. You also know that this would be the last thing he would do to you. In addition to this, you hated to see him suffering while using his power.
At first you too didn’t really know how to act, of course you had feelings for each other. It was tricky, he became a famous cardiac-surgeon and you were a highly decorated hunter. Seeing him after so much time was awkward because you both didn’t know how to act. It was like walking on tiptoes to find your path. You both took the time to do it, step by step without encroaching in each other’s space.
Since then Zayne always protected you. You knew him since you were both children. He actually became a surgeon to find a way to heal you. He always took good care of you. All his research and the fact he wanted to cure your heart. You’re actually feeling that now is your time to protect him. You wanted him to be overwhelmed with happiness.
You didn’t care about what people thought about him. They’ll get to know him and that’s what happens most of the time people misjudge him. When they get to know him they recognize how soft and caring he is. He loves his work so much that most of the time he’s busy when he comes home. He’s also a really great mentor. He always remained so professional but he’s much more than that. Even if he was probably desperate at some times.
You actually took time to realise what you were feeling for him was more than mutual respect and self care and kindness. He was always there to cheer you up, you were fond of his dry humour and proud of him.
You spend the afternoon chatting, having fun, playing around. You cherished moments like this. You’re sure he does too. Of course you took new pictures of you two.
It was unbelievable to see the progress you both made.
Everything went so fast, by the end of the day you just decided to rest here. You sat on his lap and he offered you a tender smile. His right hand ran along your hair, the other intertwined your fingers. You took a little time to look at each other's accomplices. You lost yourself in his beautiful hazel green eyes. Feeling his hot breath on your skin made you shiver. You came closer to each other, rubbing your noses, with a light laugh. All of this results in a soft and tender kiss. You already feel butterflies in your stomach.
You were so close that you could hear his heart race, so as yours, each beat synchronized.
He was eager to kiss you and you loved it. You were almost out of breath, blushing, wanting for more. Your eyes were half closed and you gently caressed his neck during the kisses while finally closing them. You could see and feel that he was also losing it.
As you dive into the dark depths of the night together, your embrace tightens.
More than lovers you became soulmates tonight.
