I kept reading them letter after letter, digging myself deeper and deeper into the void of contentment and bliss.

"Dear Arthur,
How long will you keep me waiting for an answer? Do you really not see the pain I go through loving you so? I will continue and fight for our right to be together, to be able to be open with our love. I know you feel it too. I felt it in the kiss we shared, the glance we made at each other, and I felt it through the touch of your palm on my cheek. Mon Cher Arthur, if a fool I am. Then a fool, I am in love. To be able to cherish the memories I have with you has been the only way I keep myself content. Arthur, mon amour, you are the fire that burns deep in my soul to help me keep going every day. Memories float around my mind of your presence and smile. Those memories cloud my mind in a feeling of no other. The feeling of happiness as I linger upon the memory of your gaze upon my eyes. The memory of my touch against your skin. The memory of my undying love for you."

I placed the letter down nicely. I need to talk to him. I slowly crept out of my room and looked Both ways to see if anyone was around. Luckily no one was. This feeling was eating me alive. I had to tell Francis. I just have to say to him how I feel, and about the letters, I read. I closed my door quickly sliding to my bed and stashing the letters away in case someone came. I hurried back out the door and started to head toward the room Francis is in. I stood outside the door for a moment breathing in deeply as my heart raced like crazy. 

I opened the door without knocking assuming he was fast asleep, which thankfully he was. I closed the door behind me as I stood in his room. I could see him asleep on his bed. I soon started to get second thoughts about this. Should I really be here right now, at this time of night? However, my body thought otherwise and continued to walk closer. I sat at the edge of where he slept and looked at him in awe. His hair was perfect, as usual, and he looked calm and peaceful. I moved some of his hair out of his face. Without waking him, I just started to whisper to him. 

"I finished reading your letters, well almost; I have four left to read. Might I say that I have never read anything more loving and beautiful in my entire life? So I would like to admit something to you....while you sleep, I guess it could not wait much longer. My dear Francis, I am in love with you as well. The feeling in my chest yearns for your touch as well; my heart beats with the satisfaction of seeing your smile. I will grant you this answer on the contrary that we should not further this any longer, Francis.....my love," I said sadly, feeling a drop trickle down my cheek. Although he was asleep for this, it was nice to confess how I truly felt for him. To finally put it into words was the only way to escape out of the void that I was falling deeply into every second I tried to hold back my feelings, saying that relieved me of the void. 

I looked out his window and smiled a bit at my confession. 

"Mon amour, you have made me the happiest person in the world."
My eyes widened extremely fast at the sudden person talking. I turned slowly to Francis in shock and disbelief.

"How.....how much did you hear?" I stuttered, embarrassed.
"Every single word, you aren't exactly the quietest person," he laughed and pulled me into the bed with him. 

"Those words of yours have granted my satisfaction of my yearning for you. Arthur, mon Cher, I love you" he whispered to me and pulled me into a kiss.
"Francis, you managed to squeeze your way into my heart and open my feelings up to you."
I held him closer and kissed him tighter. We separated for a second and looked into each other's eyes. Francis started to kiss my neck and down to my collarbone. I had no idea what to do; I had never been in a situation like this before. 

"Francis, we really shouldn't; what if we get caught," I asked worriedly. He shook his head, reassuring me, and smiled.
"Not likely, mon Cher," he smiled and untied my robe. By now, Francis had gotten between my legs on top. I placed my hand on his cheek as I leaned in for another kiss.
"Arthur, this alone is a fantasy come true," he said against my lips as he continued to undress himself and I followed alongside him.

(Do not worry! I shall skip)

The following day I was in my bed. I got up quickly from the bed, thinking I had fallen asleep in Francis's room.
"Maybe it was a dream," I thought before falling to the ground in pain.
"Bloody hell," I nearly screamed from the pain. So it was not a dream. We really, I really....with Francis. I started to slap my forehead continuously at the thought.
"You are so stupid," I thought and tried getting up with wiggly legs. "This has to be the worst morning in my existence," I mopped around. There was a sudden knock on the door, making me compose myself quickly to rush and answer it.
It was him.....of course.

"Good morning" I smiled through the pain.
"May I come in?" He asked
I nodded my head, letting him in.
"I thought I fell asleep in your room," I whispered
"I brought you back afterward so no one would see."
"Oh.....thank you then," I nodded to him gratefully.
"Of course, mom Cher," he bowed to me and kissed my hand before leaving my room afterward.
