Featured Lyrics:

I'm familiar with unrequited
I know you got a heart that's undecided
Just like mine, it takes it's sweet time

I've been tryin to dive into the deep end
'Cause I don't really wanna lose a good friend
But I might find something divine

It's electric every time we touch
I've been livin' for this head rush
But sometimes it's too much

If we never try, how will we know,
Baby, how far this thing could go?
Give me a sign if I'm on your mind
I don't wanna fall in love alone

You reached out with a smile, moving the long strands of hair that framed Eren's face to give yourself a full view. His heavy breathing brushed against you and your nose scrunched at the tickling sensation. The twin bed Eren had since he was a child was stiff against your back, but the comfort of his body counteracted any desire to get up and leave. What had happened last night was unimaginable, yet felt like the most perfect conclusion. You had laid everything in your heart  out for him to see. You felt raw, vulnerable but most of all, relieved. A lifetime of love manifested in the promises you sighed into his mouth.

You smiled to yourself, remembering his restless hands after blowing out the candles. His mother had insisted that you'd both stay upstairs to be a good host on his birthday. As you did your best to socialize and continue to catch up with the aunties, Eren would shoot glances your way or sneak pokes into the plumper parts of your body as he walked by. You wanted nothing more than to drag him back into his parent's basement and continue where you left off. However, you had both waited a lifetime for this, what were a few more hours? The teasing only made you more excited.

By the time the party dissipated and guests were leaving, you had found your anticipation rising at the sight of Eren doing the simplest tasks. Washing the dishes, tidying the living room, mopping up the trail of rainwater you both brought in. They were things you had seen him do before, but with the mix of his pink glow and the sparks that danced around him, your desire for him grew even more.

You traced your fingers down his face, your eyes trailing along his swollen lips as you tickled the deep red bruise on his neck. You finally understood its significance as pride swelled in your chest. You placed that there, he let you do it, and by the looks of the other marks on his skin, he let you do it over and over again.

You sighed, thinking of the way he pulled you on top of him as you both fumbled back onto his bed. He savoured the flavour of you, pulling you in deeper, nearly begging for your weight against him. You loved seeing him pinned below you. Every wordless demand you asked for, he was happy to oblige. Every breathless pull he had on you, you pushed back deeper. You didn't need to say any more words to each other. Just the way he carefully held you was enough to understand his feelings. It was clumsy and rushed, but it wasn't nearly enough.
