Affection • A Oneshot Collection

• TOUCH •

It was a summer afternoon in mid-June. The sun was seeping through the window blinds which I observed for minutes on end with my head laying on a pillow. It was the first time I didn't even think of anything. It was like my mind was clear. I just stared at the pretty orange tint that came from the sun. My AC was on and the cold air would hit my back, a relief after helping my dad with work under the blistering heat.

The blankets were scattered on my bed with no plans of using them at all. I look over to my bed side drawer and checked the time.

5:04 PM

My arms began to look for my phone, scrambling. When I finally did, I head straight into my messages. My fingertips scrolling through your texts.

You sent what you usually would, memes and cute notes saying that you miss me. I muster up my little to no energy to still reply with haha's and I love you too's. They seem tired from me in chat but you know my love is still the same intensity.

Just wish you were here instead of there. Just wish I could feel you with me even anywhere. I'm all too familiar with the feeling of my bed sheets being cold, I just wish you were the one warming up my bed instead of the weather. I would have your scent all over my bed and pillows but unfortunately all I smell is the linen spray my mom would use on the pillow cases.

I went from thinking about nothing to absolutely everything with you. Oh how I wish that my arms were around you, even just for now.

I stuffed my face into my pillow and yawned as I reached for another one to cuddle with. Then, I close my eyes and start to imagine.

What would it feel like if I was holding you? You'd probably be the most precious handcrafted gem a lapidarist could form. Would your hair be as messy as I'd imagine it to be? Maybe our feet would soothe eachother's leg as we cuddle. What if we both couldn't sleep? It'll probably be the only time I would ever enjoy a sleepless night or so. I dream of a time where I can finally trace my fingers on your body and caress you. One where I can place my chest next to yours and feel each other's heartbeat.
