Nighttime Kisses

We couldn't be together during the day. Mealtimes were the only time I was allowed to even be near him, but half an hour, three times a day, isn't enough. Especially when some of it has to be spent eating.

It's superficial. I know that. I'll also never take talking to him for granted. I won't even take his silence for granted. As long as he's there, my life is complete.

I miss kissing him though. I miss his lips when they're against mine. I miss the way I could feel his smile on my skin. I miss the softness they always had. I missed the tingly feeling they left on me.

You know what? Screw it. I've seen where his room is, and I know the vent just needs to be pushed up. What the hell is stopping me from finding him?

Getting under my bed, I pulled the cover up and got down on my stomach. Pulling myself through, I just let it shut as I found out that I could crawl on my hands and knees. Still not convenient but better than the other option.

Slowly making my way there, I was as quiet as possible. Remembering that his room was just across from mine, I turned to find that I could kneel now. Sighing in slight relief, I made my way down and internally mapped out the difference between the roof and the floors. Estimating that I had one more turn, I made it to see light shining through from below right in the middle of the spot.

Even more important, was the person blocking some of it.

"What are you doing up here?"I asked quickly, taking a seat next to him.

"I was looking for you,"He said simply. "What about you? What are you doing here?"

"I missed you. I missed you a lot,"I admitted.

"I missed you too. I mean I see you, but I don't really see you. You're there, but it's not the same as it was."

"Not at all. Everything's changing so much quickly I don't know how to catch up,"I sighed.

"I know. It's just so off-putting,"He agreed.

"Yeah, but you're here now. You're here, and I'm here,"I grinned, wrapping my arms around him. Hugging back, he placed his face in the crook of my neck as I tightened my grip. Smiling even wider, I whispered I love you's in his ear. Saying them back, he made everything just right again.

Pressing his lips to my skin, he repeated his words between kisses. Pulling away, I firmly pushed my lips against his. Kissing back, he wrapped his arms around my waist as I held his face in my hands. Putting his hands on the base of my neck, he pressed me to him as close as humanly possible as it got more heated. Kissing down my lower jaw, he left careless marks on my skin. I didn't dare tell him to stop though. I had waited too long for this, to the point where I would let him kiss me anywhere. Anywhere at all.

Pulling away, there were no sounds but our ragged breathing. Closing my eyes, I leaned against the vent as I grabbed his hand. Doing the same, he put his head back on my shoulder while trailing his hands up my arm.

"I missed that. I missed that more than I thought I would,"I said through heavy breaths.

"I missed that too. I missed truly having you."

"Well, you can have me every day and every night."

"I don't get to have you in the day. Not really,"He sighed.

"Well, there's plenty of free time between meals, and I could always just be sleeping really great that day?"I suggested, moving over a little to lay my head on his lap. Still running his fingers over my skin, he smiled as he took my hand and pressed a small kiss to my palm.

"Yeah. I think I could be too."
