You know that awkward feeling when you wake up and feel something thst inst supposed to be there, there. Like if you don't remember that you were spooning a pillow but that pillow turned out to be an entire person? Because that's exactly what you felt when waking up. Kaoru was in your arms and you completely blanked on how that happened.

But as you were trying to remember through morning grogginess, Kaoru flipped himself around and smiled at you with this big, suspicious you note, chesire grin. Was he awake this entire time and he watched you just rub your eyes and mumble like an idiot without realizing you were mumbling in the first place? Well crap. Know you're wondering if you were mumbling to yourself under your breath or not.

"Good morning, Amnesiac. Have fun remembering what happened last night?"

"Okay shut up. Sorry that I had the best night's sleep I've had In a while and I was in such a deep sleep I forgot everything for a fat minute."

He just giggled at your sarcasm, snuggling into you a little bit more. He was so cute, and he was so warm. It almost made you want to go back to sleep. It's Saturday. You shouldn't have anything you both need to do today, right? Well at least for a few more minutes.

"I've never had anything like this before."

What? What does that mean? Kaoru was mumbling in your chest, burying his face in the oversized shirt you used as pajamas. It's like he was embarrassed to say whatever he's going to say but at the same time he really wants to say it.

"Normally everything I have belongs to Hika too, or its Hika's. Girls used to confess to us all the time, but they were always really looking for Hikaru because I just kinda followed him and did what he did. Nobody ever sought me out or wanted me. Nobody really Loved... me before. Except for Mom and Hikaru. And now you. You're the only person o have all for myself. You love me... I never want to let you go. I never want you to go."

He squeezed you as tightly as he could. You ran your fingers through his ginger hair. Poor baby. That sounds lonely. He only really had Hikaru who really noticed him as an individual. Roars just sad.

You kissed the top of his head. You held him tight. You weren't going anywhere. You'll never leave him. Never ever. 

"I'll never go, Kao. Never. I love you."

Those magic words, those three magic words were the key to unlock the rest of the love story. But you're here now. You have this relationship that makes both of you happy. Even though he refused to show you his face, you knew he was smiling. You knew he was smiling so wide as he clutched your shirt in his fists and kept himself in your warm, loving embrace. You're his. You're his and only his. Not shared, not another's, his. 

That's all he could ever want.
