Sunlight filtered through drawn blinds, basking the young couple in brilliance. This happening caused the bigger of the two to become slowly aware of his surrounding. With long, thin arms, the boy embraced his partner. He lay on his left side, pushing his face into her tangled hair. Their legs were intricately knotted, winding around one another into an impossible mess of limbs.
This is where he felt most comforted and loved. He could feel her steady and slow breathing as her chest rose and fell with each passing second.
The sun had just hit a point where it’s rays filled the small, cluttered room. Their sheets were all strewn about their bed, the comforter kicked to his ankles. She often did that in her sleep. She was always so cold, but when she fell unconscious, a whole new world of warmth opened up.
He closed his eyes once again.
He pushed his face softly into her head.
He slowed his breathing.
He felt safe once again, with her.
