The boardwalk is quiet this time of night, sometimes you'll see people on occasion with their dogs, or with an ice cream sundae from the ice cream parlor just over in town, but mostly, it's peaceful. Bill decided that the best time to go would be right as you were getting in bed, but you fought through the annoyance and need for sleep, and ended up actually being happier than you were before.
You're both currently staring out at the calm water, the sound of crickets in the distance; bright stars littering the night sky. The moonlight shines down and creates a safe aura of light over the lake, turtles bobbing just their heads out from the surface to get a peek at everything around them.
You noticed halfway through you and your boyfriends time here, he stopped talking, the normal chatter and laughter now gone and replaced by contemplative silence. You turn to look at him, his brooding features accentuated more due to the moons radiance. He looks so much like an angel, sometimes you wonder if he actually is one.
"You ok? You seem quiet." You ask with a small laugh, trying to make the mood light incase there really is something wrong. A small smile curves upwards on his pink lips, as he turns to face you. His figure is sturdy and towers over you, yet you never feel intimidated or scared with him, just safe and secure. "I just never want this to end." He says, his voice low and tranquil as he speaks.
The statement strikes a cord in your chest, making you almost visibly wince. You furrow your eyebrows, walking closer to him. "Why would it end?" You ask, your heart in your throat as your mind immediately works through the worst possible outcomes of this situation. He looks down and back up, worry evident in his big green eyes.
"I got offered a part, its a big one. It might be the biggest one of my career and- and I'll be gone for at least a year." He says, swallowing thickly as he turns and looks out at the water; unable to face you and for you to see the tears that well in his eyes as you break up with him, since that's the only possible scenario he can picture happening after this news.
You feel your heart sink a bit, not so much at the news, but at what might happen after the news. "Is this a breakup? Are you breaking up with me?" You ask in a small voice, not anger nor accusation in your voice as you look at the tall man beside you. His eyes widen as he turns to face your figure again, his heart feeling like it's swelling in his chest.
"Oh my god no, no of course not I thought you were gonna break up with me, you- you're ok with this? With me being gone?" He asks, eyes sparkling and hope in his voice as it cracks just a bit. "Of course I'm not going to break up with you, and sure I'm a little sad because I don't want to be away from you, but FaceTime is a thing you know, and so is taking one of my checks to go and visit you." You say with a smile, feeling the air come back into your lungs as you realize you were both scared to death the other was going to end things, and that is was just a worry.
He lets out a sigh of relief, heart beating steady as he turns back towards the water; hands on either side of the rail as he takes a deep breath. "I love you, I love you so much." He says, trying get himself under control as he realizes nothing's going to change between you two, that he still has the love of his life by his side. You let out a giggle, reaching out and placing your hand on top of his larger one; looping your fingers around his warm palm.
"I love you too Bill. I'm here, always. You don't ever have to worry." You say with a gentle voice, scooting up closer to his warm, sturdy figure as you both stand side by side and look out into the distance. Your hand is still in his as he lifts his long arm up and wraps it around your body, pulling you into his firm chest. You inhale his scent that always brings you comfort, feeling tranquil and serene in this moment.
"I know, and I swear if I could repay you for that with the moon and the stars I would, but I guess you'll just have to deal with me forever instead." He says with a chuckle; the sound sending vibrations to your eardrum as you listen to the rhythmic sound of his heartbeat.
"That's fine with me, skarsgård." You reply, letting go of his hand and wrapping your own arms (which are a lot shorter than his own) around his body as best as you can, feeling his ribs expand as he breaths and the thoroughness of his build. Nothing in this moment could ever make you two unhappy, not even distance, as long as you have each other and the feeling of hope in your hearts, you both know that everything will be alright.
Short lil fluffy fluff while I work on some other things, hope this gave you some feelies. Love you❤️-xx
