A few minutes of silent bliss pass, the two of us drowning in words that don't need to be said because we both already know and just simply being together, clinging to each other like we always should have been from the start, is more than enough to satisfy the two of us. I'm gently stroking his feathery hair, occasionally nuzzling the back of his neck and earning content little sighs from his cracked lips. Lips that I will one day kiss. But not today; Mikey needs time to adjust to this, to make sure that it's definitely what he wants and needs. We can take this nice and slow, gently and softly.
"Ray?" His quiet little voice pierces the silence like the intricate beauty of his eyes pierce my soul.
"Hm?"
"Tell me a fairy-tale? One with unicorns and fairies and big palaces with a big happy family?"
"Anything for you, Mikes."
