Dirty Little Secret

Smiles and Happiness

Nicolas' POV

"Wait, why?" He asks, and I huff, stomping my foot a little bit, because I want to get past all of the questions, and get to the part where I get all the kisses of thanks.

"Because I have a Mate. I don't need a boyfriend." I tell him, trying to pull away from his hand that has a grip on my chin, but he doesn't let me go, his fingers coming down to circle my neck, and I stand on my tip toes slightly as he pulls me up and his head lowers.

"You chose me, runt?" Jace asks me, and I go to tell him to stop teasing me about it, but before I do, Benny interjects.

'He's not teasing you. He was scared, Nicky. He didn't think you were going to choose him. He just wants to hear you say it.' He tells me, nudging me to say something else to him.

"I told you. I would chose you. You're my Jace. I'm your runt." I tell him, looking down, unable to hold his eyes at this, and this time he doesn't raise my head to make me. Instead, his hand slowly falls away from my neck, and instead goes to hold my waist and pull me closer to him. I hesitantly go to raise my hands up to wrap around his neck and he pulls me until we're chest to chest, my ear pressed against the sound of his heart beating.

"I haven't sung to you in a while." He says, and I giggle and shake my head.

"No. You should fix that right now." I tell him and his chuckle makes me melt further into him. Jason has always had an amazing voice, warm and soothing. Before he got into all the trouble that he did, he used to do it for me and Clary all the time. It's been so long since I've heard him sing.

'Jace sings, pants come off.' Benny tells me and I nod softly.

There's a pause in the air, and I begin to feel when we start to move, Jason's head on top of mine as I let my nose trail along his chest. As we hold each other, he begins to shift us as we slowly start to move around the room.

The beauty in your eyes
The fear along your skin
The patience in your hold
The love drips down your chin

You never say goodbye
But you never fail to leave
But that's alright as long as you keep coming home to me.

The smile kissing your lips
The feel against my skin
The way you say you need me
When the loser never wins

You always say hello
With those pretty little eyes
And when you said you wouldn't go, for once it wasn't lies

One day you'll feel the love
You'll understand the pain
The love will start to sing
You'll understand the rain.

You never say hello
I'll never say goodbye
And at the end of the day, you're all I have in life.

The words that hes singing to me makes my eyes tear up as we dance along the room. His body only clad in boxers is warm against mine as he skin. We dance along each other as he sings it again, and when he goes to sing the last part one more time, he pulls away and places a sweet kiss along my head that makes me melt.

We finally stop moving until I'm standing in front of him, my head resting beneath his as he holds me. For once my face isn't on fire and Benny isn't trying to start anything.

Our breathing is in synchronize and our hearts almost are too, and when he opens his mouth, his words as soft as a feather against my skin, it's all I can do to just listen to the beautiful sound of his voice.

"Thank you, for choosing me. I know things aren't perfect. But we're going to get through this. Because I am yours and you are mine." He tells me softly against the top of my head and I can feel it down to my core.

"Thank you for not giving up on me." I answer him with my own prayer, quiet and true, and he doesn't laugh at me or lecture me about it, his arms only tightening around me.

"Never." He tells me and as we stand there in the middle of the dark, our arms around each other, and the sweet melody of both my
confession and his song, it feels like maybe the two of us will be able to actually make soemthing work between us. And the thought of that makes me smile against the steady beat of Jason's heart.

Marvel movies are my happiness. I started talking to a guy, it's nothing serious, but we have a lot of the same kinks so he's kind of taking care of me. Also, why did you think of the song I wrote for them?
