“Damon….Damon…Damon wake up!”

Damon’s body twitched before he shot up like a bullet his eyes darting in every direction before they landed on me, he blinked quirking his brow his eye’s silently asking what the hell do you want? I smiled he’s so adorable when he’s irritated.

Grinning mischievously, I leaned in and kissed his forehead gently before dumping a pile of clothes and shoes in his lap “hurry up and put this on” he blinked in confusion. Before sluggishly crawling out of the bed almost falling onto the floor I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing.

Slowly he pulled on the jeans, and shrugged on the worn out T-shirt I stared hungrily as I watched smooth skin disappear under the fabric. He stared at the hoodie in his hands before looking at me skeptically I just shrugged “hey it’s cold out I don’t want you to get sick” he rolled his eyes but put it on and slipped on the shoes.

I nodded approvingly, before walking over to him and wrapping my fingers around his wrist “c’mon I want to show you something” Damon looked at me suspiciously, trying to detect whether or not I had some ulterior motive. I made my face as blank and innocent as possible trying not to give away hints of his surprise as I crept to door and opened it ajar so that it wouldn’t make any noise that would wake the others in the house.

Putting my fingers to my lips, signaling Damon to be as quiet as possible we tip-toed to the door freezing up when the wooden floor would creek under our weight and almost yanked the door open in relief. I closed it behind us before smirking at my pet confusion still spread across his face wordlessly asking me where we we’re going “you’ll see my pet” he glared at me annoyance while puffing up his cheeks.

I chuckled, before grabbing his hand and intertwined our fingers, “onward!” he rolled his eyes again but didn’t pull his hand away as I laid him toward the wooded area that surrounded the mansion we traveled through the maze of trees and endless shrubs. The moon provided a small slimmer of light while the stars tried to guide us but I already knew where we were going.

Soon, the smell of water and moss filled my nostrils I beamed stopping abruptly Damon smacked into me not expecting me to stop I turned toward him and began to nibble on my bottom lip nervously, “before you I show you your surprise you have to promise me you won’t give me that judgmental look of yours or laugh okay?” Damon eyes rose in bewilderment at my request.

But held up his pinky, I gripped his with my own tightly before stealing a kiss and continued to lead him the smell of moss and grass grew and grew until Damon stopped abruptly, his eyes were the size of saucers and his mouth was a-gap with shock.

Laying only a few feet from us, was a humongous lake the way the moon shined on it made it seem like it was blessed by the goddess of the moon herself, lanterns hanged by the trees giving off a soft orange glow, while the trees were decorated and lit with lights he was so taken aback with everything that he didn’t notice me slip away and head toward the bushes.

You’re in my arms

And all the world is calm

The music is playing on for only two

So close together

And when I’m with you

So close to feeling alive

“What?” I said to Damon’s are-you-serious? Glance, “I’m just trying to listen to some music John McLaughlin’s a good singer it’s not like I’m trying to set a mood or something” that got me a smile, I inched toward him a sly grin on my face “but you know since it’s playing anyway” I began offering my hand “dance with me?” Damon’s smile grew as he took my hand. I slithered my arms around his waist holding him close to me and with his free hand on my shoulder we waltzed.

A Life goes by

Romantic dreams must die

So I bid myself goodbye and never knew

So close was waiting, waiting here with you

And now forever I know

All that I want is to hold you

So close

Damon twirled, his body light and graceful I dipped him tilting his body over his light blue eyes seemed to glow I stared mesmerized before lifting him back up and twirling him again. Our bodies swayed to the rhythm of the song…it’s almost strange now I’ve heard this song many times before, disregarding the lyrics but now with Damon here the words seemed to hold a strong meaning.

So close to reaching that famous happy ending

Almost believing this one’s not pretend

And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come

So far, we are, so close

I held him close, spinning us in a slow circle “I love you” I whispered, Damon pulled back eyes wide he opened his mouth and closed it before unshed tears welled and he looked away gently I grabbed his chin and guided his gaze back toward me. “Damon it’s okay” the tears finally began to spill I kissed them away “you don’t have to speak in order for me to know that you love me, just you being here letting me hold you like this tells me all I need to know”.

How could I face the faceless days

If I should lose you now?

We’re so close

To reaching that famous happy ending

Almost believing this one’s not pretend

Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are

The tears streamed down his face, but he was smiling at me he sniffed before leaning in and pressing his lips against mine I hungrily kissed back wanting to taste him the feel of his body against mine was starting to get to me. I shivered when blunt fingernails ran through my scalp “I love you” I sighed I couldn’t stop saying it “I love you, I love you, I love you”

So close

So close

And still so far
