        From the minute you left the airport to that evening when you got back the apartment, you and Rhys were clinging to each other like saran wrap, as if you would just get separated again. You thanked him, wholeheartedly, for every letter with hugs and kisses, anxiously awaiting the moment that would find the confidence to surprise him with a gift of your own.

        Ava took the other Daemos out for a while, leaving the two of you alone in the apartment. Your evening was already planned out to be simple and sweet: a candlelit dinner of (f/f), ice cream sundaes for dessert, cuddling and watching (f/m) on the couch. It was perfect.

        As the day began to come to a close and you and Rhys stepped into your shared bedroom, you sat and the keyboard in the corner. "Love? Isn't it a little late for that?" He questioned you. "I would've figured you be more tired after the flight home."

        "Trust me, I am." You replied, the corners of your mouth quirking up into a smile. "But... you haven't gotten your gift from me, yet."

        Rhys approached you, sitting on the bench beside you. "You... wrote something?"

         You sighed, somewhat sadly. "No, I'm no writer. Not like you are, at least. But, I found something that sums up how I feel for you." You state. "A few days ago, when I got your letter, I was cared because I didn't think that anything I did would do a justice, but... when I got the idea, I just sat down and learned a song. And I didn't want to stop until I had it down. Because you can give me the ambition to do that." You leaned over, placing a quick peck on his lips before turning your attention to the keys. You spread your fingers apart, finding your first note and taking a deep breath.

        Here goes nothing...

"The cars all stop where they are

When you take my hand, there is no time

Every moment that passes by with you,

I wish I could rewind

"Let go of your ways and forget today, just follow me tonight

Do you understand why I put all my plans on hold?

"And doesn't the night go slow?

When we are here alone, something inside you shows

Yo-yo, doesn't the night go slow?

Oh, slow, oh

"It feels like we are the only two people that are left in town

Our phones are dead and the planes overhead don't even make a sound

With no distractions, my only reaction to you is the joy I found

And I don't think I can let this moment go

"And doesn't the night go slow?

When we are here alone, something inside you shows

Yo-yo, doesn't the night go slow?

Oh, slow, oh

"Stop, breathe out, slow motion

This is our pure moment

The sun stays frozen, hidden down below

Doesn't the night go slow?

"Doesn't the night go slo-"

        Before you could finish the final verse, Rhys' arms wrapped around your body, keeping you close to his. He rested his chin on your head, silently holding you as if you would vanish once the song was over.

        "R-Rhys! I-I didn't finish!"

        He released a short laugh, nestling his face into your hair. "You don't have to, love. It was perfect... like everything else you do." He hummed.

        You giggled at his kind words, snuggling into his chest. "Only because of you, my snowflake..."

        He abruptly moved his hand under your legs and scooped you up, bridal style, carrying you to the bed. He pinned you down, gently, placing kisses all over your face. "I love you, (Y/n)." He whispered, smiling down at you.

        "I love you too." As if on cue, you wrapped your arms around his neck just as his arms snaked around your waist, lifting your body up to his. You two shared one final tender kiss, before lying down, in each others arms, fingers intertwined, and drifting to sleep for the night...
