Ruikasa - Theater Kids to Boyfriends?

Always Safe with You

 We walked along a dirt trail in the woods. The breeze was gentle and the temperature warm. It was the perfect day for outdoor activities such as this.

"Today is really nice." Rui broke the prolonged silence. His hair moved in the wind as he spoke, slightly messing it up.

"I agree." I couldn't keep my eyes off him no matter how hard I tried. "It's perfect." Not as perfect as my fiancé.

We walked down further. The trail was extremely rocky at that section, so we had to exercise caution. It wasn't really the best trail, but we wanted to be alone. Everyone always went to the good one. You win some and you lose some, right?

I was vigilant until I took a look at my watch. I didn't stop walking out of fear of losing Rui, and I tripped on a stone. I knew it wouldn't be long until I hit the ground.

Just as I was about to come in contact with the ground, I felt arms around my waist. Rui? "I'm here, Fufu. I will always protect you." He stood me up and let go. "After all, you will be my husband soon enough." He put extra emphasis on the word 'husband', which made me want to get married to him even more than I already did.

I felt myself smile. "I'll always protect you, too." I wanted to wrap him in a hug and give him kisses all over his face, but it wasn't the most fitting setting for that. That's what his house is for. Giving each other affection that only we knew about, as long as there weren't any stalkers following us and watching through the windows. That would be creepy, and there would be no reason for them to stalk us versus literally any other couple. Unless it was Emu and Nene waiting for some tea that they could fangirl about.

But alas, we were together. That's all that mattered to us.

Sunset was nearing, and we were still in the woods. We somehow got lost. It was probably our fault though, since we chose a low quality trail just for the sake of being alone. We were idiots in that aspect.

"We can't be out here after dark. It would be much harder to tell where we are if we were." Rui sounded panicked, now running. "If we can't find our way back, we will be stuck here." I felt bad for him.

I ran after him. "The exit should be right around here." I tried calming him. "Don't lose hope!" The air became cold quickly, which freaked him out.

"It's cold." He whined. He got emotional when he was tired. "I want to go home." A tear formed in his eye. I quickly wiped it with my sleeve.

"We are almost there." I looked around. "Oh, hey! I see the exit." I pointed eastward to a parking lot.

"Okay." He sniffed. "Can we cuddle when we get home?" His voice sounded more hopeful than distressed.

"Sure." I smiled wholeheartedly at him. I loved him more than anything.

"Finally! We are home." Rui unlocked the door to his - no, our - home. The warm air hit us both by surprise, and we enjoyed it. Heaters are nice. We walked to the couch together with our hands gently intertwined.

I sat down and motioned for him to sit on me. He happily sat on my lap. Remembering my promise, I wrapped my hands around his waist before he wrapped his around my neck. He smiled peacefully as he nudged his head into my chest. His body felt warm against mine, and I liked that a lot. Between the heater and his body heat, I felt cozy and warm.

"I love you." It came out as a mumble because of his face being pushed up against my chest. I thought it was extremely cute.

"I love you too." I replied. That was the second truest thing that I had ever come out of my mouth, with the first being that I wanted to marry him.

And as I wanted to before, I gave him soft kisses all over. I had zero regrets.
