💏
fifty ways to kiss someone || @hehclps || … as a promise.
aaron’s back lays flush with the sheets as paul hovers over him entangled in his own mess of sheets as long locks brush over already flushed skin. lips having already explored the area. his fingers trace lines over the other’s chest before reaching to rest on the back of aaron’s neck. blues full of wonder and care share everything with those gazing back up at him.
a strong arm reaches around him to pull paul in and he allows it without hesitation. aaron has come so far in strengthening the one he has left and with the training they’ve encompassed themselves in has only increased aaron’s abilities to defend himself. he’s so phenomenal in all that he handles on a day to day basis. all that he is only makes paul fall for him more and more every day. a survivor, a father, a kind, compassionate man that this world hasn’t soiled.
the last week has been rough and long since they’ve been separated, but paul needed time. having all the love in the world confessed to him was a lot to process knowing he already felt the same. back in aaron’s hold though feels right…. like HOME. it’s where paul belongs and the thought of how much he wants to be there sends a shudder through his spine and makes his skin flush all over again.
a gentle brush of lips is all that is given before a palm flattens against aaron’s, lacing their fingers together and gliding it above aaron’s head. the other hand is still nestled on his neck tense with want and need. barely lingering over his lover’s when he takes a deep breath. when he lets it out it’s shaky with nerves but he can’t chicken out. he WON’T.
“i love you….”
he says it quietly but they are still lip to lip and its loud enough to hear. and he can feel aaron’s chest heave when he hears it before he speaks.
‘say it again.’
there’s a smile braced against waiting lips and he does say it again. with more emotion and fervor than before. he’ll say it as many times as aaron wants him to as long as it means he can forever be his. paul can finally allow someone to love him and cherish him as he can finally allow himself to do the same. from its position on the neck under his palm, a thumb slides down to caress the adam’s apple that keeps swallowing in anticipation.
in an instant paul presses his lips to the ones waiting ever so patiently. the touch screams a thousand different things at once. the emotion that he feels, how much he needs aaron with his entire heart. but most of all its a promise of everything they experience from here on out. they’ll be partners, lovers, companions and everything in between. that his love is more real than anything he could ever imagine it could be and at this point he wouldn’t give it up for anything in this world.
