Yours Truly

99: A million little reasons

There was something about that certain interaction that was embroidered in his brain. He kept on thinking about what the man told him and how he knew everything. Those damned blue eyes.
He shuddered, as he heard the bathroom lock open. He threw his thoughts out of the window, rushing towards Sierra. As if she'll disappear without his assistance.
Oversized t-shirt, a very fluffy hairband. Her face was breaking out. On the forehead and around her nose. She giggled, seeing how gently he held her hands,
"Yah, Kim Romeo-ssi. I'm not that fragile."
"Even if you are not, I'll still guard you with my all. I'll protect you with my life. You are all that there is to me."
Sierra smiled, a very toothy, very gummy one. And for once after what felt like ages, he felt as if she was back. He guided her to the bed and brought her tubes of skincare that she used and a mirror. He repeated to himself,
"Toner, essence, serum, moisturizer, hand cream, lip balm... Is there anything else you use, M'lady?"
She smiled, her hands wrapped around his. She guided him next to her,
"Sit next to me."
She put on her fluffy headband on him. His face on full display. It had been months since they were together, yet Sierra never got used to how gorgeous, ethereal and handsome Kim Taehyung is. Everytime she gets starstruck as if it was the first time. He perked his eyebrow up, how sharp his features looked,
"Yeah, my Juliette?"
She smiled, giddily, as she poured some toner on a cotton pad. She beamed with happiness,
"You're pretty."
She passionately did his skincare routine for him. Being more gentle and more cautious than ever. As if she was sculpting a statue. He was her art. Taehyung sat there patiently ad she worked her magic. Her hands were soft and her movementd were like a professional's. She was so invested into it that she forgot when she got on Taehyung's lap. Her legs around both sides of Taehyung. Taehyung held her by wrapping his one arm around her oddly tiny waist, while the other kept him support. And she went through toner, essence, serums, eye cream, moisturiser. She hummed to herself,
"Now lip balm."
Her soft fingers glided across his lips. He would be lying if he said he didn't have any ideas. His eyes were growing blurry ecah second. His veins pulpating with sudden blood rush. But he didn't move. For now, he was her masterpiece. She smacked her lips habitually, quipping,
"And you're done."
He didn't wait a moment, he leaned in. His hands wrapped around her waist, as his other hand slid across her jaws. In his raspy voice he asked,
"May I, my lady?"
It took her a second to process. Her pale face quickly caught colour. She couldn't help but smile. She scooted closer, wrapping her arms around his neck, leaning further. She whispered back,
"You may, Hwangjanim."
He smirked before dipping his lips against her. She kissed back, hungrily. As if his kisses would save her from all the misery there is. They both felt as if tiny fireworks were bursting inside their ears. The world felt worthless, and the only thing that felt right was kissing each other.
She let go, breathlessly smiling ear to ear. She knew her face and ears and neck must have been red by now. Her eyes scrunched up. She giddly said,
"I absolutely love you."
He smiled back. His usual boxy, full smile. He gently lied his head on her chest,
"I know. And I, too, will make it clear once again, and a thousand times more gladly, that I love you. I love you too and more. I love you to the ends of the world, and further than that. I will always protect you, as you are all that there is to me. I won't let go of your hands. I won't let you fall. I would always hold you in my arms. I love you, my Juliette."
For a moment, she felt... She doesn't know what she felt. All she knew was, the young man in front of her, loved her just as much as she did. She smiled, not a cheerfully giddy one, but a one that was soft and delicate. One that said, "thank you".
Taehyung rose his head, and smiled again. He gave Sierra her hairband back. He lied on the bed, with his legs still hanging off of it. He smiled,
"I'll wait till you finish your skincare routine, my Princess."
She smiled, finishing her skincare routine. She didn't want to do it, but again she wanted to do it. Honestly she doesn't know. After all was done, she turned the lights off and she crawled into her bed. She found herself on Taehyung's arm. She lied there, cuddled up. Taehyung brought her closer, and then up on his chest. She now could hear his heartbeat. She glanced at the night sky that could be seen from her open window, on her right side. Taehyung kissed her scalp, running his fingers through her semi-soft locks. He hummed in his velvety deep voice,
"Sleep now, Juliette. I'll sing for you."
He cleared his throat, oh so elegantly. He closed his eyes, holding her closer, he started singing,
"In this moment I see you
It always comes around as I believed
When the rain stops you shine on me
Your light's the only thing that keeps the cold out
Moon in the summer night
Whispering of the stars
They're singing like Christmas trees for us
So, I'll tell you
A million tiny things that
You have never known
It all gets tangled up inside
And I'll tell you
A million little reasons
I'm falling for your eyes
I just want to be where you are
It's such a strange thing to do
Sometimes I don't understand you
But it always brings me back
To where you are

So, I'll tell you
A million tiny things that
You have never known
It all gets tangled up inside
And I'll tell you
A million little reasons
I'm falling for your eyes
I just want to be where you are
Tell you
A million tiny things that
You have never known
It all gets tangled up inside
Tell you
A million little reasons
I'm falling for your eyes
I just want to be where you are."
