He chuckled before pausing to look at you, something was in his mind. He looked down, mumbling "I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you. If I make a mistake, i might lose you too.." he sighed as he caressed your cheek with his thumb.

You looked at him with sympathy before lifting his head up by his head up by his chin. "You wanting to protect me.. that means so much to me, you know that?" You kissed his cheek softlh and reassured him, "I'm sure everything will be fine, Lou. I'll never leave you."

He held his cheek, a light shade of pink rushed to his cheeks and he smiled at you. "have I told you how much i like you?" He chuckled, holding your hand and planting a kiss on your lips before pulling back "sorry- couldn't help myself."

Not having time to react, your eyes widen at his words and actions. Lou said he liked you! He actually liked you! YOU!

You blushed deep red as your fingers touched your lips. "Y-you do..?" You whispered. "N-no, wait.. this is a dream, right? I'm dreaming." You said in disbelief.

"No, silly. Should i have been more obvious? Should i prove it to you more?" He smirked, leaning closer to you. You shut your eyes aggressively and tensed up, before hearing him laugh. You peek open your eyes to see him holding back his laugh. You pout at him and blushed even more from being embarrassed. You pinched his cheeks for revenge, causing him to wince in pain.

You giggled while you pulled on his squishy cheek ,  before he stumbled on his feet, and lunged forward to you, accidentally pinning you on the wall to keep himself from falling. You slowly let go of his cheek as both of you became flustered.

He looked away, but he didn't pull back. His other hand rubbed the back of his neck before peeking at you. "What about..you?" He mumbled nervously. You knew exactly what he meant.

Your heart pounded, should I do it? Should i tell him the truth?  Well- of course I should. Be already confessed first, so ...might as well.

You played with a string of your hair, smiling bashfully. "I...I like you, too.." you said, almost inaudible, but loud enough for him to hear.

He grabbed his chest while walking backwards, exhaling with his head up. "Phew.. that was ...scary." he started to laugh, pulling you into his chest while he rested his head on yours. "I'm really glad that you feel the same way.."

You sighed in relief, happy you finally confessed you bottled up feelings. "Oh, tell me about it." You joked, laughing softly before looking up at him.

He felt his heart flutter, something he had never felt before. 'is it okay to feel this happy? Do I even deserve it?' was all he could think, you were a he could see, and feel. "It's late.. you should get some sleep." He pulled away from you, walking towards the window again before letting go of your hand.

You frowned, not wanting him to leave so soon. "W-wait! Lou-" you said, reaching out for his arm and grabbed onto his sleeve. He looked back at you, tilting his head to the side.

"Hm?" He hums as a response, waiting for your next words.

Instead, you fiddle with your sleeve, debating whether or not you should go ahead with your idea. Eventually, you gave up and just grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss. He shuts his eyes, kissing back.

You smiled and wrapped your arms around his neck. This all felt like a dream and you were scared that when your eyes open, Lou would be gone and none of this was real. But when you actually did, he was still there. You blushed more. He was as red as you were, and he held your hand, kissing you one last tine before lifting your hand, placing it on his cheek. No words were spoken, it was like you both could read each other's thoughts and feel each other's emotions.

You smiled, closing your eyes to hold onto this moment just a little bit longer. You opened your eyes and looked up to him before letting go.

"We'll see each other tomorrow. I promise." He teased you before climbing out. His golden hair swifts from the wind, and the moonlight sheds on his skin, at the same time making his eyes glimmer from the reflection. He jumped off from your window frame, looking back at you with that smile. The smile that never fails to touch your hand.

You walk over to the window, where he stood in front of. He patted your head one last time, "Sweet dreams, (y/n)." He said with a flirtatious tone and walked off. You smiled, watching him disappear into the distance.

As he made his way back, all he could think was.. 'i have to make this work. I have to.'

There's no other way.
