stay // eustass kid

07

it was early, and the sun was barely visible over the horizon.

a sweet smell flooded my noise, affecting my dreams as well. the smell lured me awake, and i opened my eyes to see kid's face only a few inches from mine. his soft snores only subtly audible.

if i woke up to this last week, he would've triggered my fight or flight.. but it's different.. so very different, i thought.

right now i felt so comfortable, so at home. i wanted to stay in this moment forever. i smiled at his peaceful face. his messy hair fell over his forehead, and without his usually frown, he almost looked younger.

he began to stir in his sleep and his signature frown began to show. was he having a bad dream? . he started grinding his teeth together with a grimace, practically answering my question.

i moved to lay a hand on his cheek, but the moment my finger grazed his skin, a hand shot up to grip my wrist tightly. his eyes opened, looking alert as ever. i winced, and he loosened his grip when he saw it was just me.

he set my hand back to where it was and his peaceful expression came back, only now he was awake. he stared at me for a long time with low eyes, and his thumb started to rub circles on my hand, "i'm sorry".

"it's okay", my voice was just above a whisper. he closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh through his nose. he looked tired and removed his warm hand from mine to place it onto my waist instead.

he'd fallen back to sleep.

the sun had begun to rise, and cast rays of warm orange sunlight into the room. one of those rays flowed past kid's head, lighting up his vibrant red hair. it almost looked like a fire.

he's so beautiful..

i gently dragged my finger tips up the side of his face, entangling my fingers into his messy blazing mane. i was so immersed in his hair, that i didn't even notice he'd opened his eyes again. when i noticed he was awake, i flinched and took my hand away, but it was too late.

he pulled my body closer to his chest, "don't stop". i heard him but his words didn't connect yet, i was too busy staring into his glowing amber eyes with a sense of wonder. of course his eyes were almost always glowing, but only with anger. at the moment his eyes held the kindest look i'd ever seen, and the rays of light that radiated through them only amplified it.

i slowly reattached my hand into his hair, twisting my fingers through his shining red strands. he closed his eyes and hummed softly, and it was enough to set me over. i let my hand slowly travel down to the back of his neck.

before i could even stop myself, i pulled him closer and kissed him. he accepted me almost immediately and ran his tongue along my bottom lip. he devoured me, before i could have time to even think. i felt my mind melt just by his touch as the warmth in my stomach grew.

i craved his touch.

he turned over to hover over me, placing his flesh hand under my back and holding himself up with the other. he began to slowly leave kisses down my neck and around my collarbone, until he found my sweet spot. i couldn't contain the whimper that left my lips, when he started sucking on my delicate skin.

he removed his hand from under me and let it roam around my body, before he lifted my shirt. he left the spot on my neck and lowered himself to my chest, taking one of my boobs into his mouth while his big hand groped the other. his eyes never left my face, as he stared at me from under his fallen hair.

he invaded my senses, and i could barely think straight. i let my hands grip onto his hair, while my body trembled from his touch alone. a soft moan left my mouth, when he grazed his teeth against my nipple.
