My love, see yourself reflected in my eyes

jonghyun's hands travel down to my waist as nostalgic music floats through the air. lambent beams of sunshine show through the clouded glass of the windows. a perfect ray illuminates jonghyun's face as he gazes fondly at me, enticing me to play with him. he pulls me into his safe embrace, and I breathe in the familiar scent of fresh cotton and warm vanilla sugar.
"dance with me," he murmurs, his lips barely ghosting my shoulder.
I do not reply verbally and instead allow him to lead me. he hums along to the sweet melody, his voice silky as ever, and he holds my hand as though I might disappear any moment. every movement is relaxed as we sway over the faded tile floor, our bare feet kicking up dust as we go. I close my eyes as bliss settles over my whole being, and jonghyun kisses my forehead tenderly.
"my love," he coos, caressing my cheek, "you seem to be falling asleep. am I boring you?"
"I could never grow tired of you," I reply dreamily, my eyes fluttering open to study his sweet expression.
his lips lift as I speak, and a childlike expression makes its way across his beautiful features.
"I." he kisses my cheek, "love." and my nose. "you." and my lips.
his arms cradle my form, and I get lost in his romantics for a moment. I giggle as he continues his onslaught of kisses and I put my hands on his chest.
"you're so wonderful. I can't imagine my world without your sweetness."
"oh, my fawn, I couldn't imagine my life without your precious heart and beautiful mind guiding me."
my eyes shut again, and he rocks me into a half-slumber. I can hear the music, but I mostly listen to the vibrations coming from his chest as he hums along. all he needs is my warmth and all I need is his love.
that's enough for the both of us.
"you're falling asleep," jonghyun accuses.
"am not," I protest, but he scoops me up like a doll and carries me to an old bed to lay me down.
I'm in no position to fight back as he pulls a white feather comforter over my bare legs, exposed by my windswept dress. jonghyun holds my hand as I curl up to sleep and snuggles down next to me.
"you complete me," I whisper, and I hear him laugh oh-so-softly in disbelief.
"you can't be real," he replies, pecking my forehead again, "I love you. sweet dreams, my angel."
"sleep tight," I mumble, pressing myself into him before slipping into a beautiful dream.

a/n:

old writing but one of my faves :) this is best read while listening to blinking game (perhaps my favorite song ever created!)

may I add- I wrote this specifically with blinking game in mind. i pictured this solely by listening to that song over and over and over. so so beautiful and comforting.

everytime I reread it I cry a little. i think it's my favorite thing I've ever written.

love u
