Where It Truly Lies

Chapter 1

They were scrolling through their phone, looking at pictures and old memories of their time together. Dinner dates, vacations, everything was captured as they never wanted to forget any of these precious moments with him. 

Looking at a picture of the sea, they got reminded of one specific evening at the beach. 

It was a day off when Nanami and them decided to just drive wherever they pleased to spend some time together as both of their schedules often got hectic. 

The day was filled with fun activities until they decided to head to the beach to watch the sunset. 

~~~

Both happy and full of love for each other strolled by the beach, hand in hand.

Until Nanami held their hand a little tighter and started to speak up. 

"My love, can I tell you something?"

They looked at him lovingly, encouraging him to continue speaking. 

"I just came to thinking... Sometimes I can't express my love all to well and I'm afraid that it sometimes also gets lost in our daily routines."

They smiled and nodded, signaling him that they understand. 

"To be honest I just want to take this moment to tell  you how much you mean to me. You changed my view on the world being gross and ugly to seeing the beautiful. I would've never thought that someone could just step into my life and make me as happy as you have. I truly love you..." he said as he looked into their eyes lovingly. 

"Kento..." they whispered, pulling him closer and hiding their face in his neck, inhaling his scent.

"Kento I know, because you make me feel the same." Nanami held them a little tighter. "Even if you don't think you tell me, I see your love every day. Your love is in any little thing you do. Like how you bring coffee to my bed on weekends or how you tell me to do a little spin after putting on a new outfit."

If it was possible, he held them even tighter, placing a soft kiss on their head. 

~~~

He is perfect. The most perfect boyfriend anyone could wish for. 

As if he knew that they were thinking about him, he just send them a message: 

My love, I will be picking up some fresh bread from our favorite bakery before I head home, do you want me to get you something else like a piece of the strawberry cake you love?

They smiled to themselves. Not being able to show his love, huh? 

I'd love that, can't wait for you to get home! 

Smiling to themselves, they put their phone down and walked towards the kitchen, starting to prepare the pumpkin soup that will go incredibly well with the bread later. 

Not even an hour later, Nanami was home, smiling happily.

"Hello my love, I'm home!" He sang happily from the entrance.

They turned around from the stove to run towards his arms, hugging tightly and greeting him with a kiss.

"Hey Kento, how was work? Tell me all about it while I finish prepping dinner!" they said walking back over to the stove to finish garnishing the soup.

He sighed. "Oh you know, nothing special as always, work is stressful. But now I finally get to be home and spend the weekend with you, so I'm better than ever!" he beamed. "How was your day?"
