lachlan
wise men say, "only fools rush in."

"Hey Lachlan?"

I turned in Vik's desk chair, brushing my hair out of my eyes and raising an eye brow at him.

"Yeah Vik?"

Vik's eyes were on his soulmate tattoo, and I stood. I shuffled over to him, and sat next to him.

"Vik?"

He looked up at me, his eyes wide with wonder and shining with tears. Happiness, as well as worry shown through.

"Have.. Have you ever thought about moving in together?"

"You've asked that before."

I took his hand, and he sucked in a bit of air.

"I know, do you want too...?"

Now it was my turn to have the wide eyes.

"Like... Now? As in sometime this year?"

He nods, "I would like too."

Vik smiled, leaving a soft kiss on my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too."

-

I sighed, rolling over and capturing Vik's lips in a quick kiss. A grin formed on his lips as he muttered a soft "I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

He mumbled an incoherent string of words, as I laid beside him again.

"What Vik?"

"Let's go out, a walk in the town."

"It's like midnight.."

"So, I'm not tired, your sleeping pattern is still 9-12 hours ahead, let's go out. I want some alone time with you."

I nod, and sit up. My joints did that annoying cracking noise, signalling we had been laying there for a few hours now. "Come on then."

He smiled, basically rolling off of the bed. A happy sigh escaped him as he took my hand and pulled me downstairs and out the door.

I shivered at the different temperature, it was warm but not as warm as the day time, signaling that fall would be here soon and my winter break would be over. I honestly didn't want to think about having to go back to school, but I want my degree so I could possibly get a good job. But at the same time, I want to stay with Vik in the perfect vacation daydream that I'm in now.

But we can't and it sucks.

I let out a sigh and Vik responded by squeezing my hand.

"Lachy?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"The future."

"What about it?"

"Us, moving in together. Starting a family, getting married, etcetera."

I could tell he was smiling.

He let out a giggle. "How silly would it be if one of us could get pregnant? Would the baby be cute?"

"I mean if it has your genes, of course it is."

"Still as flirty as ever, Power."

I soon realized we had walked far enough that we were at the park. I pulled him over to the swings, letting go of his hand and sitting on one of the old swings. Vik sat on the one next to me. I glanced over at the other, a gentle hum of some song left him as he began to swing.

"Hey Vik?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"Love you too."
