while his parents were putting soda and pony to sleep, darry took a quick shower, towel slung over his shoulder as he crept downstairs.
his heart was still swelling with pride, at the memory of her and his mother immediately getting along, with his father patting him on the back, telling him he chose wisely. That he was eager to see their future together.
"darling," darry called out. he wasn't sure whether she had left yet- hopefully not, as it was awfully dark out, and he wouldn't want her to walk home like that.
"hm?" a small hum came from the kitchen, where darry found her scrubbing the dishes. darry smiled slightly, taking the sponge from her hands.
"take a break, darlin'. You don't need to do the dishes." darry's heart melted at her little pout.
"It's the least I could do-" she insisted, but darry cut her off with a small peck. he adored seeing her eyes widen and cheeks brighten red. "not fair."
"you do sneak attacks all the time. why don't we go watch a movie?" darry offered. she glanced upstairs warily, chewing her lip.
"-are getting ready to sleep, themselves. stay the night, love, c'mon," darry coaxed, gently leading her into the foyer. easily, she relented, as darry swept her into his arms, turning up the radio on the way.
… wise men say, only fools, rush in…
they had only been together a few months. yet to darry, it felt like they had been through everything, that he knew with utmost certainty that he was placed on this earth to cherish her heart.
holding her tightly to his chest, he softly swayed her to the music, as she rested her head against his chest.
but I can't help falling in love with you~ shall I stay? would it be a sin? if I can't help…
"falling in love, with, you," darry echoed quietly, as she hummed along.
like a river flows, surely, to the sea,
"darling, so it goes," her twinkling eyes were dazzling to him, he could get drunk off being with her alone. "some things, are meant to be~"
take my hand, take my whole, life, too…
for I can't help, falling in love, with… you
perhaps it had been hours already, but darry could live forever in this moment, dancing away with the one who held his heart.
"stay the night," darry muttered again, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.
"we have school tomorrow," she reminded pointedly, arms locked around his neck as he swung her into his arms, gently setting her down onto the couch.
leaning over her, darry tried again. "stay. please?"
she sighed, and darry knew he had won.
"as long as your parents are fine with it," she kissed darry softly on the jaw. "and if you make me breakfast."
"you didn't even have to ask."
the next morning, she and darry awoke to jeering and teases from soda and pony as their mother shushed them, smiling kindly at her flustered expression before she buried her face into darry's arm. a small little moment, a memory darry would cherish forever.
he wouldn't ever trade mornings like this for anything else, but fate has a funny way of flipping a world upside down overnight.
