You were sitting in your shared apartment with your boyfriend, anxiously waiting for his return. He was said to return a few hours ago, but he was yet to return. You had been sitting on the couch, phone clutched tightly in your hand as you waited for a call or anything that would tell he is okay. The roar of an engine was heard outside, snapping you out of your overthinking mind. Quickly, you ran to your front door and opening it, in hopes that it is your lover. A sigh of relief escaped as you saw his Ferrari with the Monegasque flag painted over it. You quickly ran down the stairs as your boyfriend climbed out of the car.

"Charles!" You exclaimed as you embraced him in a tight hug.

Charles stumbled as the your hug came as such a surprise. His arms enveloped you and a sense of serenity overcame you as you realized that your lover is safe. Charles hugged you a little tighter as he heard a soft sob escaped your mouth. He pulled away and looked at your eyes that were starting to turn red. You were crying of tears of happiness and relief. On the other hand, Charles was looking very concerned, seeing his lover cry. There was a little crease between his eyebrows as he saw the  tears streaming down his face.

"Mom amour, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Charles questioned as he wiped away the tears on your face. You shook your head and gave him a small smile, before answering.

"They're tears of happiness, liefde. I'm just glad that you're here and safe. I was just concerned because you were late and when I tried to call you, you weren't answering, so..." you explained before you were cut off by Charles pulling into another hug.

"Shush, it's okay mon amour. I'm here and I'm safe. I'm sorry for not picking up my phone was dead", he comforted you. His right hand was softly rubbing your back and he's  left hand was buried in your hair as you tried to stop the tears from flowing down your face.

Charles let out a deep breathe before releasing you from the hug. You sighed and wiped away your tears.You smiled at your lover and he smiled back. Charles picked up his suitcase before gesturing to the open front door.

"Let's go in amour", Charles suggested. You nodded your head and followed Charles into your shared apartment. He disappeared in the corridor as he went to put his suitcase away. You went into the kitchen to make some tea to calm your nerves.

You put on the kettle and heard the water of your shower running - a telltale that Charles had started a shower. You continued making the chamomile tea, letting your thoughts run wild for the time being. You don't think you've ever been so worried in our life. If you had lost Charles or if something bad happened, you didn't know if you could handle that. Once more in your life you realized how much he meant to you:the first time was when he had crashed in the French Grand Prix. Slowly, you got lost in your thoughts, the chamomile tea turning cold as it gets forgotten.

................................................
Charles has finished his shower and came downstairs looking for you. He had found you staring blankly the full cup of tea. With a confused face, he stepped closer to you. When you didn't respond, he wrapped his arms around you, giving you a hug from behind. You snapped out of the trance that your thoughts had captured you in.

"What's wrong ma belle?" Charles asked burying his head in the crook of your head.

"Nothing. I just love you, ya know", you said in a soft voice.

Charles eyes lit up and smiled into your neck. He placed a soft kiss on your skin turning the stool around for you to face him.

"And I love you", he said, a fondness shining in his green eyes.

You quickly wrapped your arms around your lovers waist, craving his touch and calming scent. Charles wrapped his arms around. Suddenly, he lifted you and put you on your feet. Whilst still holding you, he started swaying with you - making a giggle escape your mouth.

"What are you doing, Charlie?", you asked confused. He continued swaying with you in his arms. He slowly pulled away and looked you in the eye - nothing but love and adoration shining I them.

"I'm dancing with you mon amour", Charles stated casually.

"But there's no music", you responded. Quite honestly, you didn't mind, you just wanted to know why he's doing this.

"We don't need music, ma belle. You just need to dance", he replied. You smiled at your lover, sending a thank you to the heavens above for including Charles in your life. Softly, you laid your head on Charles' chest - his heartbeat a comforting a sense to hear and feel.

Charles continued dancing with you in his arms, his head now situated on top of yours. For a while, that was all you did - swaying in the middle of your apartment, with no music except the lull of Charles' heartbeat. You let out a yawn and Charles lifted his head off of yours.

"Are you tired, amour?", Charles questioned softly.

"Hmmmm", you hummed while slowly closing your eyes.

Charles chuckled softly, looking at your tired state. Swiftly, he picked you up bridal style - slightly surprising you. He carried you up the stairs and towards the your shared bedroom. Upon entering the bedroom, Charles placed you on your king sized bed. He made quick work of getting you one of his shirts, because he knew it was your favorite thing to sleep in. He handed you his shirt and you changed into his shirt and a pair of shorts.

You climbed under the blankets, your eyes struggling to stay open as you waited for Charles to climb in bed. A tired smile crossed your face as you saw Charles came into your vision, ready for bed. You made grabby hands at Charles as he took too long for your liking to get into bed. Charles smiled in adoration at you. He climbed into bed, pulling you into his arms. Gradually, your eyes closed and you succumbed to the darkness - comforted by calming sense of your lover.

Charles placed a chaste kiss on your forehead - basking in the ethereal beauty of his lover.

"Sleep well, ma belle", Charles said softly, before falling asleep - comforted by the presence of his lover.
