for Lโs lover event! based on these prompts
Exhaustion climbs throughout your body like a fleeting tickle. You feel it in the tips of your fingers, all the way down to your toes. Connie feels it, too.ย
After a day of lounging in the sun, he lays spread out on your shared bedโhis tanned skin contrasting against the cream white sheets. Youโre not far from him in the slightest, as you tuck yourself into his side, one leg wrapped around his frame to keep him in place. He lays on his stomach, one hand underneath his pillow and the other firmly thrown across your body.ย
The position allows you to admire his backโbroad and toned as he relaxes into the comfort of the mattress. You watch it slightly rise and fall with his breathing as you caress the endless amount of freckles scattered across his skin. You wonder how many of them there are, if they ever do actually end. You think they're lucky, to get to live on the warmth of his skin for eternity.ย
Silence and the wafting scent of sunscreen envelopes the two of you as the moment feels like a dream.ย ย
โHey,โ he whispers like telling a secret, as if anyone would hear his words when itโs just the two of you, weaved into one anotherโs limbs and lips.ย
โMhm?โ you continue to caress his back, continuing to count the sun-kissed marks that litter his shoulders and sides. They look like their own personal little constellations.ย Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-threeโฆ
โCan we always be like thisโthis close?โ he elaborates before you can even ask him to explain.
You donโt know if heโs referring to your physical or emotional statusโif he means the way youโre practically crawling into one anotherโs skin and morphing into one body, or the way that you're comfortable enough with one another to be counting back freckles as if theyโre sheep. You donโt think too far into it, as your answer is the same either way.ย
โYeah, Iโd like that,โ your reply is simple and sweet, fitting for the moment the two of you share.ย
โForever?โ he childishly grins, finally opening his eyes. Pupils dilated and irises wide, filled to the brim with curiosity and innocence.
Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two...
โSure, Connie,โ you humor him.ย
โForever and ever and ever and ever and evโโ
His childish behavior of squirming in your hold and shrieking in your ear makes you lose count of the dots on his back. Heโs too quick, too strong as he wraps himself around you even tighter, now practically on top of you as your chin rests on his shoulder.ย
โKnock it off, idiot.โ
The two of you stay in this position for a little while longer, your hands continue to scratch and rub his shoulders and upper back as he presses his nose further into your neck. You could fall asleep like this, comfortable with your loverโs weight firmly pressed on top of youโbut the sun setting through the curtains is a humbling reminder that dinner doesn't cook itself. Someone has to be the adult here and feed the two of you.ย
Connie feels you tap his shoulder a few times with the palm of your hand, before rustling around in his hold, an attempt to get him to free you from his grasp and stand up. His grip on you tightens, and is followed by a lengthy whine.ย
โOkay,โ you sigh in faux defeat. Dinner can wait, you suppose, โOnly for a few more minutes.โ
After all, you do need to restart your freckle-count all over again.ย
โHow about forever and evโโ
The force behind your abrupt push has him falling off of you as you finally stand. Heโs laughing, very pleased with himself and the reaction he was able to pull from you. Walking towards the kitchen, the last thing youโre able to make out from his fit of chuckles and wheezes is a string ofย Iโm sorry, babyโs andย Couldnโt help myselfโs.ย
Yeah, someone has to be the adult here.ย
