The night was peaceful, the soft moonlight filtering through the window and casting a gentle glow over the room. You were curled up against Rafe in his bed, the warmth of his body wrapping around you like a protective shield. After a long week of him being caught up with his dad and everything else, you hadn't had much time to just relax and enjoy each other's company. But now, lying here together, everything felt right.
Rafe's arm was draped over your shoulders, pulling you closer until you were almost on top of him. His hand gently brushed through your hair, the touch so familiar and comforting. You couldn't help but sigh contentedly, a soft smile playing at your lips.
"I missed this," you murmured, your voice barely above a whisper. "I missed you."
Rafe's lips found the top of your head, pressing a soft kiss there as he replied, his voice low and full of affection, "I missed you too. More than you can imagine. I've been so busy with everything... but now that you're here, nothing else matters."
You smiled, looking up at him, your eyes meeting his with warmth and love. "I know what you mean. It's like, when I'm with you, everything just feels easier. Like, the rest of the world fades away."
Rafe's lips twitched into a smile as his hand brushed gently across your cheek. "I like that. I want to be your safe place, where you can forget everything else. Just you and me."
You melted into his touch, your heart swelling with affection. "I think I could live in that world forever. Just us, no stress, no drama. Just... being together."
Rafe's gaze softened, and he leaned down to press a gentle kiss to your lips. His hands slid down your back, pulling you even closer, his fingers gently tracing the curves of your body. "I'd be happy to spend forever with you. As long as you're by my side, I don't need anything else."
You rested your head back on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart beneath your ear. His fingers continued to trace soothing patterns on your skin, and you couldn't help but feel completely at peace.
"I love this," you whispered, your voice barely audible. "Being here with you. It just feels right."
"I love this too," Rafe murmured, his lips brushing your forehead. "You and me. It's all I need."
You lifted your head to look at him, your eyes searching his face. "You really mean that, don't you?"
He nodded, his fingers lightly grazing your arm. "I do. More than anything. I want to be with you, no matter what. I want us to be together, to build something real."
Your heart fluttered in your chest at his words, and you reached up to gently trace the line of his jaw with your fingertips. "I want that too. I want a future with you, Rafe. One where we get to share everything—good and bad. I don't want to face the world without you."
Rafe's eyes softened, and he pulled you in for another kiss, this one slow and full of meaning. "You won't have to," he whispered when he pulled away. "I'm not going anywhere. And I'm not letting you go."
You smiled, feeling a sense of calm wash over you at his promise. "I'm glad. I don't think I could do it without you either."
He chuckled softly, his fingers brushing a lock of hair away from your face. "You're stronger than you think, love. But I'm glad I can be here for you. I'm glad we have each other."
You rested your cheek on his chest again, your arms wrapped around him as if you never wanted to let go. "I don't want to ever let go of you. I want us to be together, always."
Rafe tightened his hold around you, his voice serious but filled with tenderness. "We will be. No matter what comes, we'll face it together. I'll always be here for you."
You smiled, feeling completely safe in his arms. "I love you so much," you whispered, the words spilling from your heart.
"I love you more than anything," he replied, his hand gently rubbing your back. "You're everything to me. I'm not going anywhere, and neither are you."
You looked up at him again, your fingers tracing the lines of his face as you said, "Promise me we'll always stay like this. Promise we'll never let anything come between us."
Rafe's eyes softened, his lips curving into a gentle smile. "I promise. We'll always be us. No matter what life throws at us."
The warmth in his voice made your heart swell, and you leaned in to kiss him again. This time, it was slow, soft, and full of the love and devotion that had grown between the two of you. As you pulled away, you rested your forehead against his, breathing in the calm rhythm of his breath.
"I think I could stay like this forever," you murmured, a playful grin forming on your lips.
Rafe chuckled, his arms tightening around you. "I'm all for that. Just you, me, and endless cuddles."
You giggled, burying your face in his chest. "You know, I don't think I'd ever get bored of being here with you. You make everything so easy, Rafe."
He chuckled softly, his fingers gently massaging your scalp. "Good, because I plan on keeping you right here for a long time."
You smiled contentedly, your fingers tracing patterns on his chest as you got comfortable in his arms again. "You're really good at this whole 'making me feel special' thing."
"Only because you're worth it," he said, his voice full of affection. "You deserve to feel special every single day. You deserve the world."
You felt a blush creeping up your neck at his words, but you smiled, knowing that with him, you were exactly where you were meant to be.
There was a comfortable silence between you for a while as you just enjoyed being together. Rafe's hands moved to gently cup your face, tilting your chin up so he could look into your eyes with that same soft expression.
"You make me want to be a better person," he admitted quietly. "Being with you, it just makes me want to do everything right. I want to be the best for you."
You smiled, your heart swelling with love. "You already are. You don't have to be perfect, Rafe. I love you just the way you are."
"I don't know what I did to deserve you," he said softly, his hand brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. "But I'm not letting you go. Ever."
You rested your hand on his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath your palm. "And I'm not going anywhere. I'm yours, always."
Rafe smiled, his eyes full of affection as he kissed you gently. "Good. Because I'm never letting you go."
As the night wore on, you both stayed there, wrapped up in each other, talking quietly and sharing the quiet intimacy that made you feel closer than ever. There was no rush, no worries—just the two of you, together, building a future filled with love, laughter, and countless moments like this.
And in that peaceful, perfect moment, everything felt exactly as it should be.
