Looking at your soft expression as you slept gave Albert a sense of peace, there was nothing more precious to him than seeing his sweet y/n at ease. Your hair was spread across the pillow, satin sheets pulled snug against your neck.
Albert was sitting in the plush king sized bed beside you, holding a porcelain tea cup that was steaming while reading. Although he tried to concentrate on the story, his gaze kept getting drawn back to you.
You sigh softly in your sleep and move just the slightest before settling back down.
Albert smiles slightly and takes a sip of the hot tea before turning back to his book, the rain beat down upon the window panes, creating small steams of water against the glass. Just the sound of it was soothing, nature's lullaby in a way.
You slowly open your eyes, naturally waking up. While blinking you can see Albert, he hasn't moved from his spot beside you and you smile sleepily.
"Hello there." He murmured, not having to look at you to know you had awoken.
You stretch before reaching out for his hand, a daily occurrence.
Albert gently took your smaller hand in his and kissed your knuckles while rubbing the golden wedding band on your finger.
"Did you sleep well my love?" He asked and set down his cup and book.
You nod and slowly sit up, "I had a beautiful dream."
Albert smiled and rested his cheek against your hand "You're beautiful."
A small blush rose to your cheeks and you look away bashfully before slowly sliding into his lap, craving his warmth and comfort.
Albert holds you to his chest, both your eyes are concentrated on the window, looking at the down pour as you stay embraced.
You lift your head so you can look at him "I love you."
The words were so sweet, so gentle it made his heart flutter.
Albert put a finger under your chin and kissed you before responding "And I love you."
