12) things you said when you thought I was asleep
SHE WAS NEARLY LUMINESCENT IN THE DARKNESS — the soft tangible glow of the soft lights in his room casting gently upon her skin. she was so beautiful — something peter tried to tell her well and often. his affection towards her ran so DEEPLY ( he was always doomed to fall in love with the moon, it seemed ), and even now, as she lay, PRESSED up against him —– he found his heart SWOLLEN to the brim. his fingers ghosted along her skin, a simple trail up her arm and down again, and when he sighed, he did so happily.
❛ you’re asleep so i’m gonna uh —- ❜ he felt silly, his voice in low RUMBLES as he whispered, lips pressing gently to the top of her head. ❛ ———- talk to you because i’m scared. ❜ the trail his fingers lay ‘pon her skin shuddered and trembled, his FEAR a deliverance through such actions. ❛ I can feel it — and no matter how many times you assure me — there’s a darkness coming and I can’t lose you. ❜ every passing day brought him closer to that FEAR —– every moment he felt as if something horrible was going to happen.
he could lose the whole universe, but he couldn’t bear the thought of losing ezra.
❛ i love you. ❜ he traced the words into her arm, murmured it against her hair, thought it so hard he felt she might feel the very FORCE of it. ❛ i love you more than the sun, the stars, and all the planets combined. ❜ and only now did his arms curl around her more protectively.
❛ if anything tries to take you away from me, i’ll RIP them all apart to get you back. ❜
