[ ik i just did a luke blurb but he was kinda of a dickhead in that one soooo enjoy :) ]there's a time when you know that it's love. it's no longer a question needing an answer. it doesn't pop up now and again, trying to decide if it's found another home. if two people are lucky enough to house it in their hearts.
you wake up. feeling the sun through the windows, hitting our skin. you felt the sheets on your thighs. the hands around your bare waist. and you knew.
you brushed the hair off his forehead, smiling to yourself, biting your lip, shaking your head. "god, i can't fight it anymore."
in the bathroom, with the light on, you stared back at your reflection. a blanket around your naked body. you saw your skin, the glow on your cheeks, the natural flush.
"love." you said, deciding if you liked the way it tasted. the sound left your lips easily, without question.
"you. i love you." your eyebrows furrowed as your stomach flipped. "shit."
you switch off the light, pulling the blanket tighter around me. you lean against the wall, watching him. his lips parted. his chest rising and falling. the way his features were relaxed. how he looked so much younger. he didn't look exhausted. he looked comfortable.
you walk to the bed, laying on your side. mouthing the words, smiling as you do.
"wake up," you whisper, wanting to erupt. wanting to share the love that's found a home in your heart for luke.
he reaches out for you and you take his hand, bringing it to your lips. you kiss his palm and his wrist, intertwining fingers, admiring the way the skin looks against each other.
"don't stop doing that," (every time you move - im sorry) luke mumbles against the pillow, shivering against my touch.
"wake up, sleepy head." you kiss his forehead, brushing the hair away once more. "let me see those blue eyes."
"babe, it better be after 8." he opens one eye. enough to wrap his strong arm around you, pulling you into him. welcoming the affection, wrapping your leg over his.
placing a hand on luke's cheek, rubbing the pad of your thumb over his cheek bone. "can i tell you something?" your lips find the skin closest to you, connecting to his forearm. i can't stop. your lips knows your love.
"anything." he opens his eyes, propping himself up on an elbow.
your heart races, looking at the beautiful man in this bed, laying naked, covered by a thin sheet. his body displayed for your eyes only. his own looking at you and no one else. his hand finding your arm. knuckles running up and down.
"luke, i love you." you nearly choke on the word, having never said them like this before. because it wasn't like it was when you first started dating and saying it because it was the first time you'd seen him dancing like a goofball. or when you were sick and he came home with soup and crackers. because this time was real. luke had found his way into your life, into your heart. his clothes in your drawers. his toothbrush was next to your sink. his car outside. his hand on your body. his lips turning up into a smile. a big smile, with teeth and laughter.
luke pushes you gently onto my back, coming to hover over me. "i thought i'd be the one to say it first, but i guess it doesn't count when you're asleep." his lips meet yours shortly, smiling against your own. "i love you, too. fuck, i love you."
you're laughing now too. laughing because you're together. laughing because out of all the people, in the entire world, you're laying here, at 9am, (earlier than luke would ever want to be up) with the boy you're lucky enough to love, but not just that. no, because oh my, he loves you too.
"love found a home in my heart for you."
luke shakes his head, "that's got to be the cheesiest thing you've ever said. miss i'm-not-a-romantic, but i'll accept it. just for today." he rolls off of you and you turn your body, already missing luke's face.
"what about longer?"
"and why longer, darling? it's not like we're in love or anything..."
his lips attack your neck. the loudest, happiest laughter bellowing out of you, making your chest hurt and stomach tighten.
"are you hungry?" he asks against your skin. you nod, reaching your hands into his hair."i think today we've earned ourselves a treat."
"why's that, darling?" you smile.
"oh, we're just in love, or something."
