Sunset
A/n: It’s the birthday of lovely @atinyidea ~ So I wrote you something short sunshine. The pathing is a bit all over the place but I hope you like it nonetheless. Happy birthday! Please smile a lot today <3

Your body leaned on the railing of the ship. Eyes locked on the beautiful sunset in front of you. The orange and yellow of it got reflected on the water of the sea while the sun slowly sunk deeper over the horizon.
“You seem pensive.”, a soft voice spoke up behind you while two familiar arms caged you in between them, “You okay Bon?”
You smile leaning into his embrace a bit, enjoying the warmth he brought with him.
“Just thinking about home. You think they still remember me?”
“Your friends could never forget you!”, a soft kiss was placed on top of your head making you turn around.
“I miss them Seonghwa.”
You tried to look down, but he placed his hand softly against your skin, turning your head back up so you had to look at him. His eyes were reflecting the dark sunset now while behind him the night crept in. It was mesmerizing.
“Hwa-“
“I have a birthday present for you.”
“It’s not my birthday yet, it still takes some time. At least until the sun sunk over the horizon.”
Seonghwa smiled down at you, you noticed his eyes flickered to your lips, but it was short. He places his other hand on your waist while the one which was on your face went down and started turning you around.
“Then watch the sun. I know how much the colors calm you down.”
You lean back into his embrace, finally trying to relax again.
“You remember how we met?”, he whispers in your ear. You start to smile.
“Yeah, it was on this same railing, but it was night and I was homesick while you tried to sneak out of Yeosangs grasp because you couldn’t stand lying in that bed anymore.” You heard a low chuckle coming from him.
“That’s right.”, you could only imagine the small smile on his lips, “But then I saw you, and I couldn’t help to come over and see if you are alright.”
“So thoughtful of you!”
Silence fell upon you, but it was calming, relaxing you even further.
“And do you remember when I first told you I loved you?”, he asks you while the last rays of sunshine vanished to make way for the dark blue of the night.
You turn around since there was nothing to look at anymore. As you tried to answer he started talking again.
“We were in a battle and you got stabbed. I was so worried about you Bon.”, a frown grew on his forehead and you raise your hand to smooth it with your thumb.
“I remember.”, you say softly, “But you came over, getting that guy away from me. I thought I would die right then and there.” Now it’s upon you to chuckle.
“I ran back to you as fast as I could. I don’t know what I would have done if you would have died.”
“You were there making sure I stayed with you until the battle was over. Pulled me into a small room, away from the battle, putting pressure on the wound.” A smile grazed your lips again while you get lost in that now sad eyes of his. “You were so out of it, saying anything that came to your mind to keep me talking, to keep me thinking, to keep me awake.”
“And still you fell unconscious while Yeosang treated you. But you remembered everything that I told you. Including my heart admitting that I couldn’t live without you.”
“I remember waking up, searching the room for you just so that my first words could be that I love you too.” You both let out a laugh, remembering it. How you woke up, sitting up and frantically searching the room with your eyes.
“You got Yeosang all worried.”, Seonghwa chuckled.
“But it was worth it.”, you say as you lean upwards to plant a small kiss on the corner of his lips.
His hands start wandering over where your now scar from the stab wound is to your hands, holding them. At least you thought so until you feel cold metal around your ring finger. You look down, lifting your hand up.
“It’s a ring.”, you say, fully aware how stupid that was while staring at the ring. It was a small turtle with a green stone in its middle.
“I saw this at the last port, we were at and had to think of you. It has a peridot stone in it, one of your birthstones.”
“That was almost a month ago.”, you look at him in awe, “You hold on it that long?”
“I thought it would be a nice present. Do you like it, Bonnie?”
“I love it. Thank you Seonghwa.”
“No, thank you. Thank you for being alive. Thank you for loving me.”, he says while leaning down, capturing your lips for a soft kiss. The first, but definitely not the last you will get on your birthday.
