Only In A Dream

Lycel's breath fogged up in the cold winter air, and the girl could feel his warm hand on hers beside them. "Do you think it will snow?" The girl asked, her curious eyes full of happiness turned toward the sky. "I don't know." Lycel watched her face with an intense, but tender, look. "Julie.. Look.." He started, but then he hesitated, closing his eyes. "Yeah?" He opened them to see Julie looking at him with a small smile on her face.

"I've wanted you to know this for a while.." Lycel took a deep breath. "I know you've had a dark past and you've been hurt so many times before.. I want you to know that I'm always here for you. No matter what. I would do anything for you. I want to be the shoulder you cry on, I want to be the one that makes you laugh your beautiful, amazing laugh, I want to see your smile everyday, I want to hear your melodic voice, I want to see you because you're perfect in every way."

"W-wait.. Lycel.."

"No!" Lycel stood up from the bench they've been sitting on. "I want you to know this because this has been bottled up in my mind for so long. I freaking love you Julie. From the moment I got to know you, I knew you'd be the one for me. I would protect you with all my life." He sighed. "I bet you don't even feel the same.. It's alright.. I'm used to it.. I'm sorry Julie.."

Lycel turned around and put his head against a tree. There was a moment of silence before he heard footsteps approaching. He felt cool hands on his shoulders, and he was turned around, to see Julie standing there, looking up at him. And then, she kissed him. The moment their lips touched, a snowflake drifted down from the sky.
