Chapter 26.5- I Love You Too.

You rolled over, feeling warmth all around you. You slowly opened your eyes, allowing the to adjust to the darkness in the room. The only light that illuminated the room was the faint moonlight breaking through the window.

Your (e/c) orbs focused on the one beside you. There he lay, peacefully asleep. Your eyes scanned over every part of his face. His eyes gently closed, his mouth slightly parted as few small snores emit from his lips. His messy ginger locks scrambled in all sorts of directions. His bed head was cute.
You watched his chest rise and fall in a rhythmic fashion. You felt as if you could watch his peaceful slumber forever, if it meant he was safe from danger and suffering. You knew he had his own pain, but he tried to hide it so well. With that damn, charming smile. Yet, his genuine smile is what makes you the happiest. Knowing he was happy, rather than dwelling in his constant depression. His eyes gave it away. Just one look into those deep, dull eyes,  and you could understand what he has witnessed.

You wish you could take away his suffering, to rid him of any regrets he holds in his heart. No matter what it took, you were determined to save him.

Little did you know, you already had.

You slowly reached your hand up to his face and began stoking the strands of ginger hair from his eyes. You smiled as you basked in the sight of his calmness. He was adorable, you just wanted to kiss him. As you lowered your hand to his face, you felt him twitch. You felt a little alarmed, for you didn't want to wake him. He needed his sleep.

You felt a hand encase yours.
Childe didn't say anything. He snuggled himself into your hand, kissing your palm.
He turned his head back to you and opened his eyes groggily, "Is everything okay, my love?"

You gave a tired smile, "Yes. I was just admiring you."

The two of your eyes met, melting under each others sight. Childe reached his hands out, placing one behind your head and one behind your back. He pulled you towards his bare chest, encasing your body in his. You snuggled up into his chest, intertwining your fingers with his. You felt him gently fidget with your hair, it was relaxing. You moved your head so you were looking up at him, his eyes were closed again. You leaned up at bit and placed your lips on his before laying back down in his arms.

You felt him chuckle, looking back up, you notice the tired grin on his face. A slight blush covering his face. He buried his head into your hair, resting an arm over your head, the other gripping you close to him.

"You should kiss me more." Childe groggily flirted.

You yawned, "Maybe I will."

He lifted his head, gazing down at you, "You're too cute." He planted a light kiss on your forehead, "I love you, (n/n)" 

"I love you too."
