Romantic One- Shots

Waiting

Rubdine's POV

My tired eyes tried to blink away the drowsiness as I was waiting in line for my flight. The airport was filled with distant chatters and different noices. It overflowed with people of different kinds and an aura of reunion and separation hung in the air causing my anxiety to spike up. I had been waiting for 3 years to finally be reunited with my lover. His name is Zeer, he lives in Rome. I know he's quite unique isn't he? Not like the usual cliches in a book right? Well, we met online because of a shared interest in playing instruments and music. It was on one of my earlier videos where he commented on my voice and ability to play a guitar. He critiqued me thoroughly, which was a really great thing and made me improve more. After that we occasionally commented on eachother's videos until I decided to invite him to skype. Our first few interactions were akward and kinda more stiff, but that improved after a while. We became closer and decided to make a cover together and meet in real life. This decision made me excited and even more anxious. We were gonna meet in person for the first time! The moment we met, I immediately ran up to him and hugged him. I was about to pull away when I realized his arms were latching unto my waist. This made me question my feelings for him, by then I already had known to have a crush on him and maybe even like him but why in the world did I not realize his arms were wrapped around my waist? It had felt so natural and that it was meant to be there. He then pulled away from the embrace and I toured him around the city. We had a blast, learning more about each other with the choice of physical contact. It was so refreshing and so real. Time came and he had to leave and it was sad as I had finally realized I was falling for him. We went back to skyping almost the whole days and nights, our separation was short lived though as we had decided to give in to the requests of our followers and create another cover. This time I went to his hometown. It was fun and the days passed by quickly as our first meeting had. Two days before my flight, he had asked me out and took me on a date. Imagine my joy when he asked me to be his girlfriend. Once the day of the flight came, it became much harder to leave each others side. We went on like this for 4 years, skyping for months,planning to meet again, meeting, making collabs, going on dates, separating and repeat. Of course we were never a perfect couple. There were times we got jealous, mad and broke up but we loved each other too much and couldn't bear to ignore the other for long. Time came and we could no longer take the pain of not being together, the sleepless nights, the wishful thinking and the yearning for the other's presence, so we decided to finally live together. This brings us back to the current time, me boarding the plane.

"I wonder how is he?"

Zeer's POV

I was at home with nothing to do. I had prepared a room and cleaned up the house, did all the chores just to keep my mind off of the nervousness of meeting her again. The paranoia catching up to me as I sat idly on my bed. I tried keeping my mind off of anything that could trigger bad thought concerning Rubdine, but every thing I tried to think of my mind kept relating and drifting it off to her and her arrival. She's been a great and constant part of my life, my story and my music. She's my inspiration, my muse and my lover. So why am I so nervous? I knew my paranoid mind was to blame. What if something happens? What if we realize this isn't what we truly wanted? Now I know I'm just being pure stupid, the last one is definitely not true. We had been waiting for this moment to come and now it was just a day away. I smiled at the thought and stared at a picture we had near my desk. I took it in my hands and sat on my bed, tomorrow I can finally hold her and not worry about having to lose her warmth again. We stayed strong and maintained our relationship healthy and strong. Sure, we had countless sleepless nights, days where we couldn't stand the distance, the yearning thoughts of holding the other in each other's arms, missing the presence of the other and randomly being reminded of each other in the most simplest things and yearning nothing more than to just be there for each other, but we managed and now here we are. I then placed the picture back on my desk and open my drawer. I had hid a small box with a little token inside. It held a promise of a lifetime and I was willing to commit. I was willing to finally settle down and marry her. Even if she isn't here yet, I can still say that if I were given the chance? I would still repeat, comment on her video and suffer throught the separation anxiety just to finally have her in my arms. To have finally found love stronger than the boundaries of distance. I stood up and walked into my- our studio and picked up my guitar. I smiled fondly at it, remembering how it all began becuase I saw her playing one. She was amateuristic but she held promise and potential in playing this instrument. That was why I commented in the first place, I was drawn to the aura that surrounded while she was playing and maybe I also wanted to see more of her. She had her flaws and she had imperfections but I loved her for that. She was imperfectly perfect to me and I'm glad I wasn't stuck on the starting line. I'll wait patiently till it's time to move and see her because...
