........................................

Sunday mornings, were you and Cedrics favorite part of the week. Curled up next to each other, no plans, no expectations, just cuddles.

When you two first got married you were go go go. After 4 months you two felt like strangers again and had a huge blow out fight. For the first time in those four months actually being honest with each other and showing emotion.

"I WANT MY HUSBAND BACK" you shout as you sit on the couch after Cedric got home late and told you he was just out with friends. You two had barely seen each other and today was your breaking point. You had a rough day at work and texted him asking him to spend the evening with you. He said he would and then promptly did not.

He was pacing around the living room, running his hands aggressively through his hair, claiming you were over reacting. When you finally shouted, he stopped everything and looked at you.

You were a patient person, sometimes a result of that is not having control over your volume. He could tell though, that this loudness was intentional.

"Love" sighing gently and moving to sit by you. He went to grab your hand and you moved away causing him to frown. " love" he repeated.

"Cedric. I needed you tonight, and you weren't here" you say softly not allowing yourself to make eye contact with him. You knew if you made eye contact you would melt and then let it all slide.

"I know" taking full responsibility, trying to get you to look at him.

You two sat in silence. Something that you two were used to, life was so chaotic by the time you two were together you were too exhausted to talk.

" I miss you" mumbling as you finally look at him.

You could see the tears in his eyes as you looked at him broken. Broken because of him.

" I'm sorry" letting the tears fall from his eyes slowly.

" I needed you" voice breaking. " I needed you" you repeated.

" Let me be here now" looking at you with begging eyes.

You moved so you could rest your head on his shoulder. You could feel him relax when you touched him, warming your heart about the effect you had on him.

" I wasn't there when you needed me and I'm so sorry. I don't want to be strangers anymore. I notice. I notice how you are out of bed when I wake up, or how your asleep when I go to bed. Im not blaming you, please now that. I just- I blame myself. I married you and then didn't put you first. How? I don't know. Why? I don't know. I know i'm sorry, I'm going to change. We both have been busy and I got into my routine completely leaving you out of it. I'm embarrassed, love. So embarrassed" his voice cracking at the end, as the tears stream down his face.

You pulled away and gently rested your hand on his cheek turning him to face you. You wiped the tears that had fallen and looked at him.

" I love you." fighting back tears of your own. "Say it" you continued.

"I love you" he said quietly, voice still hurting from the tears.

" I love you so much. I forgive you. I forgive you so much. Life got busy, I'm guilty too. I miss you so much. I miss my Cedric. I miss the random adventures we would go on. I miss us." continuing to wipe his tears.

He cried harder and rested his forehead on your shoulder while you gently played with his hair. You continued to whisper 'I love you' over and over again.

He pulled away and it was his turn to cup your face. He leaned in and kissed you, with passion. Passion you haven't felt in a long time.

Pulling away, resting his forehead to yours, mumbling an 'I love you'

You kissed him one more time before moving your head so it was on his lap. You looked up at him and said, " I'm happy". And you were, genuinely.

So there you were, entangled in each other's limbs. Your favorite place. You two decided after that blow up of a night that you two would spend Sundays together, in each other's arms. Holding each other close.

You felt Cedric move a little, waking you up further. You groaned not wanting to get up yet earning a chuckle in response from Cedric.

He moved so now he was laying on top of you. Arms wrapping around your waist squeezing tightly. Moving his head so it was in the crook of your neck.

You wrap your arms around him, both of you falling back into sleep.

Holding each other close.
