#aayyyeeeee

He didn't know what he expected with the kiss. The universe didn't change; the sun didn't shine any brighter; there were no doves or fireworks, nor did a choir start singing. It was just... right. It felt like an injustice to every poetic figure in Nursey's life. All the cliche metaphors, figurative language spilling together for the symbolism of love, were for naught. All there was was his heart was hammering in his chest; the feeling of Dex’s lips pressed against his own. Dex was a solid weight against him, one he never wanted to let go of.

"Derek?"

The words filtered through to him as if they weren't spoken against his lips, their breaths mingling as he found his own. Derek could scream poetry from the rooftops of what William Pointdexter's voice symbolized, of the constellations that lived within his skin, how every autumn leaf still does no justice to his eyes, but none of those could come to mind, he was so stuck. Nothing would express this. Dex was so beautiful. He was so fucking beautiful, Derek was helpless to do anything but stare. His hair, his eyes, his smile, everything so profoundly him. He wasn't a line or stanza of poetry. He wasn't even a fucking book. No amount of words would ever eloquently represent Dex on paper. That terrified something deep inside of Nursey; the part of him that relied so heavily on words to work out the world to his liking. William was so much more than he would ever be able to express. He’d likely spend forever trying.

His grip on Dex's arm tightened when he felt him start to move away, to erase any doubt, any lingering evidence that might have proved that this was not a moment he'd be completely content with living in for the rest of forever. "William Pointdexter, you've just changed everything," he said. Dex only rolled his eyes. Before he could say anything on it, Nursey pulled him into another kiss. There would be time for questions and realizations and the fumbling creation of them as a unit later, but for now… Oh plunge me deep in love - put out

My senses, leave me deaf and blind,

Swept by the tempest of your love,
