Adishh pov

"Let's go to bed," I suggested softly, taking her hand to lead her into the sanctuary of my bedroom. Once inside, I changed into my comfortable cotton pajamas, watching as she chose one of her shorts and slipped into my favorite t-shirt.

"You have a wonderful collection of t-shirts," she observed, glancing at our reflection in the mirror. The way the fabric embraced her figure seemed to catch her eye. "They all seem to look better on me," she added with a gentle smile, her words weaving a simple yet romantic moment between us but I know it is to fast to move futher.

I watched her reflection, admiring the way the shirt clung to her full breasts. It was true, most things looked better on her. The shirt, me, my love. I could only pray that the reverse was also true. That she found beauty and love and perfection in the way she made me feel and the way I wanted to be.

I climbed into bed, opening my arms, and without hesitation, she rested her head on my arms, which were gently placed on the pillow. I wrapped my other arm around her waist and sealed the moment with a tender kiss on her forehead. She sighed, and I smiled at how much trust she'd put in me. I never imagined it'd be like this. I never imagined I'd ever fall in love.

"You're really something special, you know that?" Adhya said, a smile gracing her face. "Thank you for being here for me. For trusting me. For not treating me differently. It means more to me than I can express."

"Hey, I'll always be here for you, Adi. Sure, we might clash and my anger might flare up more than I'd like, but I trust you. I'm proud to have found someone as pure and selfless as you," she murmured, adjusting herself in the embrace, her head finding a comfortable spot on my chest, where a heartbeat echoed with unpredictable rhythms. Adhya understood the significance of that heartbeat and the depth of affection it held.

"I love you."

"And I love you too, my bo bo bear."

A tighter hug enveloped them.

"And Adi, the 'boo bear' nickname may be a mystery, but it never fails to flutter my stomach," Adhya playfully questioned me with an air of embarrassment.

"Oh... it's because it was my favorite cartoon, and now, you're my favorite too." I winked at her. "Do I resemble a cartoon?"

"No, it used to be my companion in tough times, my stress buster. But now, I have my Adhya as my love."

She chuckled, and the next thing I knew, her lips were pressed against mine. My heart melted, and my hands wandered into her hair. When we pulled apart, I saw the tears still streaming down her face, but this time they weren't tears of sorrow, they were tears of joy.

Good night Adi." She greeted.

"Good night babe" I smiled as we both drifted off into the night, her head rested on my chest, her hand placed over my heart, and me holding her tight, never wanting to let her go.

.........

Adhya pov.

In the morning's gentle embrace, the sun's kiss pulled me from a serene slumber, and as I reluctantly opened my eyes, the clock unveiled an unexpected truth - it was well past 10 a.m., a subtle reminder of time's swift passage. Adishh was nowhere to be found in the room.

"He must be studying," I mused to myself, attempting to rise from the bed. Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing Adi with a tray of breakfast.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well, my sweet?" Her grin and enthusiastic voice filled the room, bringing with it a bright smile.

"Hmm, after a week of exhausting work, only sleep can heal me," I sighed in relief, breathing heavily.

"Oh! That's good to hear." Adi placed the tray on the table and assisted me in getting up, creating a nurturing moment reminiscent of a small girl in her mother's lap.

"I hope you woke up early," I said, sipping my bed coffee.

"Brush your teeth first," Adishh insisted, glaring at me, and I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Yes, sir."

"You look really cute when you sulk," he smiled, and I joined him, sitting beside him.

"Shut up," I teased, savoring the delightful coffee - a perfect beginning to a promising day in the novel of our shared journey.

""Adhya."

"Huh."

"Let's get married," his words had the power to make me faint, yet I managed to respond with a questioning tone, silently praying it wasn't a joke.

"What? Are you proposing to me?"

"No, I just want to tell you that I want to marry you someday," his words carried a promise of truth and trust.

"Oh... yeah, me too," my heart whispered, ready to agree if he proposed right there.

"What are you planning today?" I asked, curiosity tinged with a romantic anticipation.

"I thought you would plan something," he replied, glancing at me.

As I refreshed myself and headed to our flat for a shower, I couldn't help but marvel at the simplicity of this boy's personal care routine. In a world filled with an array of products, he owned only a humble body wash and shampoo.
