Part 12

Warnings: Smut but not that much and fluff

You rubbed his back for comfort.

„Is this because you have fear of failure?" you ask him.

He moves his head to face you.

„Well-I just noticed you like to *win*, be *the best*, have control, you know."

His eyes get even more watery. You put your hand on his cheek and rub it softly. „I heard about your perfect record."

He chuckles weakly before saying: „What are you now? A psychiatrist?"

You smile at him and stroke his hair. „I thought about becoming one a long time ago."

„Well, I think you should give it a try." he smiles and wipes off his tears, trying to play it off like nothing ever happened.

„Stephen, this won't make up for your sister's death."

Stephen looks at you, shocked.

You continue: „You're trying to make up for something that wasn't even your fault."

You stroke his white hair on the sides. „All the stress wasn't good for you."

He chuckles again. „Are you saying, you don't like my hair?"

„Oh no, I love it. It's so hot. One of the reasons why I said yes to be your girlfriend."

„Hm. So there are more reasons?" he smirks while slowly getting up but keeping his hands on your waist.

„Of course there are." you laugh.

He is now fully standing and hovering above you. „Tell me."

„Well-„ you get interrupted by him, pecking your lips. Again. And again. He wraps his arms fully around your waist, picks you up a little, and spins you around with him.

After he puts you down again you ask, having a wide grin on your face.: „What was that for?"

Stephen answers you with the biggest smile on his face: „I'm sorry, I'm just-„ now he gets interrupted by you kissing him.

„Don't be sorry. It's adorable."

He frowns. „Don't call me adorable."

„How about cute?" You tease him. „My little cutie pie." You ruffle his head, messing up his hair and making him even more adorable.

„Stop that." He says pouting, but you can tell that he is enjoying it even just a little bit.

You laugh, and he catches you of guard by picking you up again but higher. As a reflex you wrap your legs around his waist. You look down at him. He is incredibly near.

„I said: Stop. That."

He can tell, you're not taking him seriously. You put your hands on either side of his face and squeeze his cheeks.

„Awww." You peck his nose. „You're so adorable."

To your surprise, he shows no reaction. He only looks you deep in the eyes with a peaceful smile.

„Hello? I'm supposed to annoy you, remember?"

He kisses you passionately before saying: „There is nothing you could do to really annoy me."

„Are you sure about that?"

He gives your cheek a kiss and whispers in your ear: „Yes, and even if it would happen, it wouldn't change anything because I love you, no matter what."
