Arthur and I are cuddled together under a blanket on Arthy's bed. My face is resting on his stomach, and he is laying straight. After confessing our love to each other,  I ended up grabbing and wearing one of Arthur's Yale hoodie. His smell seems to be laced within the seams and I love it. I don't plan on giving it back to him any time soon. Somehow, we've ended up cuddling together, and Arthur hums a melody while playing with my hair. I've noticed that when we end up together alone we like to cuddle quite a lot, it seems to be our thing.

I listen to the vibrations of his hums and lay my head softly on his stomach. I say the first thought that comes to my mind. "What if... it's us?" I blurt, the open-ended proposal of an idea floats in the air and I feel as if I've imagined something for us.

He stops humming to pause to look at me. I lay my chin on his stomach, looking straight at him. I look at his facial features, wondering how he made perfection so easily. "Like what if it's us and... only us?" I giggled at the thought. Someday in the future just me and my beautiful boyfriend living together... alone.

"What do you mean?" he questioned, moving his thumb to smooth down the fuzzy ends of my eyebrow. "Like we live together in the future alone? Just us?" his eyes flicked with emotion and I nodded, biting my lip to hide my smile.

"Just us, and maybe a pet or two," I whispered, closing my eyes to create the imagery to go along with my idea. "And at our apartment would have cute accent walls of blue and we could hang posters on every wall, and hot glue random sentimental stuff to the walls... like seashells and movie tickets,"

Arthur cleared his throat, "and we could hang a pride flag in the kitchen..." I opened my eyes to look at him. He was blushing madly and I could tell it was because he was envisioning our perfect future together.

"Babe," I cooed, enjoying the blush that rose to his cheeks and ears, "that's so freaking cute, of course we're doing that!" I moved to kiss his lips, they were soft and inviting. I pulled back and leaned my head down to kiss at his neck.

"I can't believe we literately have our dream apartment already planned out," he joked, humming at the feeling of me kissing him. "I love you," he whispered. I stopped kissing his neck.

"I love you too," I smiled, "I know damn well that our future bedroom is going to have the BEST decor," I teased, as Arthur moved his hand to rest on the back of my neck. He snorted.

"You know it!"
