☀️ I l o v e you☀️

The cream white walls of your bedroom were painted with the early sun's orange and yellow shades, birds were already greeting the morning with their singing. You could feel the warmth of the sun rays heat the surface of your shared blanket. The bright morning light hit your closed eyelids and before you knew it your eyes had already fluttered open, only to be greeted by the peaceful sleeping face of your partner. A soft, lazy smile crept on your lips as you eyed him and listened to his barely audible sneers. His high cheekbones slightly flushed by the heat in the room, the eyelashed gracefully kissing his cheeks. Lips slightly parted, a little dry.

You loved this, you loved everything you had been gifted with. You loved Baekhyun and your relationship with him. You didn't own many fancy things, you shared a small apartment for two people, yet it couldn't be more perfect. The fact that you had each other meant much more than having any other material thing that could never buy you happiness. Just waking up next to him, his scent the first thing filling your senses in the morning was enough to make your heart swell with happiness, and really feel satisfied with the little you had. Some people would never feel content with what they already had and crave for more things in life. Once, you had been like that too, until you had met Baekhyun, it was then that you had realized that nothing was ever going to make you as happy as having him by your side.

As old-fashioned as it sounded, living simply, really, was the happiest way of sharing your life with someone. In that way, your love for each other could always be in the center; instead of being forgotten by the isolation that material things could bring to you. You liked it this way, and you knew Baekhyun did too.

You let your still sleepy eyes wander across his soft features, drawing imaginary lines on his cheeks, nose, lips, chin... Your eyes stop at the barely visible mole on the upper corner of his lips, somehow you had never noticed until now, your smile widened, cute, you thought while you let your gaze go only a little further. You spot another little mole on his cheek, and then you see another one on his brow bone and you wonder how you were only seeing this now.

You couldn't help yourself when you carefully leaned closer, carefully placing soft kisses on each mole, seeing it as a small constellation, your fingers gently brushed away his bangs from getting into his eyes. That's when he started to stir awake and you mentally cursed yourself for waking him up, your hand automatically drew away from his hair, though Baekhyun didn't seem to be in a bad mood as a lazy smile displayed on his face, his slightly swollen eyes forming into twinkling crescent moons. Your heart flipped inside of your an unhealthy amount of times.

Baekhyun gently picked your hand and placed it on his back on his head again, your lips stretched out in a wider smile as you shuffled closer, intertwining your legs with his. His skin was hot against yours as you resumed the playing with his hair. Your fingers brushing through his dark locks, making a sigh of bliss escape his lips as he lowered his face to the crook of your neck, tickling your skin with lips, gently he traced them from your collarbone all the way up to your ear. Shivers covered your body when he kissed the spot beneath your earlobe, his hands found their way on your body, one massaging your scalp and the other lazily drooped over your waist. His touch feather light and caring, there was nothing sexual in his kisses, and you couldn't even find the will to mind that fact, that wasn't what this relationship was built on, the adoring look he had in his eyes while looking at you was always going to make you feel more loved than any overdosed sexual act would.

Slowly, somehow your hands trailed to his face, your palms softly pressed against his cheeks as your eyes searched for his, your gaze quickly snapping to his mole constellation before returning to his dark orbs in which you could see your own reflection. Your happy reflection. The silence between the two of you was nice, it wasn't uncomfortable, it was soothing and there weren't any words needed, though you felt like breaking it. Because no matter how many times you were going to say this during your time together, it was never going to be enough. Never.

" I love you... I really do love you Baekhyun-ah." you breathed out, sincerity and love dripping from each word, you didn't notice but Baekhyun's eyes got glossy for a few moments because your words made him feel so loved, and there would never be anyone he'd want to hear this sentence from, only you.

Without answering Baekhyun's face inched closer and his lips pressed on yours, this time it's him holding your face in his hands, those hands that you always had found so elegant. Automatically your arms laced around his neck, he angled his face, catching your lips sweetly, tumbling his tongue over your lower lip before locking them one last time, ending the kiss with a soft pucker. Baekhyun's lips brushed against yours when he said:

"I love you too, so much."
