ākenny,ā you whisper. āhey, hey, kenny?ā each word is spoken with a poke to his rib cage, and draken hisses, rolling over in bed to turn away with his back to you.
āno, y/n,ā he mumbles sleepily. his voice is low, words slurred in his tired state, but it does little to break your resolve. you simply poke his back instead.
ākenny, itās important,ā you whisper urgently. he waits a few moments before ultimately grumbling as he gives in, turning to face you as his eyes glare at you while he rubs the sleep out of them.
āwhat? what is it,ā he asks, voice flat.
āokay. so,ā you grin. draken raises an eyebrow, and he doesnāt like where this is headingāeven if he doesnāt exactly know where this is heading. āif we were like, i donāt know, forbidden lovers or something, and we had to run away to be togetherāā
āy/n, itās three in the morning,ā he groans, rubbing his face exasperatedly with his hand. peering at your from the side, he exhales at your pout. ādonāt make that faāokay, you know what? go ahead.ā
draken always gives in when it comes to you, and at times like these, it concerns him a little just how far heād go for you. that much control in your hands over him couldnāt be good, but still, he trusts you. blindly, with no doubts, draken always trusts you.
although, right now, heās second-guessing his choices.
āokay, as i was saying,ā you huff, āif we had to run away to be together, where would you wanna go?ā heās tired and cranky, and his muscles ache, and his eyelids are the heaviest theyāve been with sleep, but still, he sighs before pondering over an answer for your question. and itās sweet, really, how he always indulges you in your mindless thoughtsāno matter how pointless or how late. he always has a soft spot for you, and even if he rethinks his choices sometimes, he canāt ever bring himself to regret them.
ālike...to another country?ā you hum in confirmation. āthen i guess france,ā he mumbles. resting your chin on his chest, you peer up at him, his arm curling around you and pulling you closer.
āso that i can push you off that big ass tower and finally get a good nightās sleep,ā he grunts, closing his eyes with a yawn. scowling, you slap his chest, making him scowl back. you both glare half-heartedly at each other, his eyes boring into yours. and he has to be up soon, the shop wonāt run itself, but all thoughts of rest are whisked away for a moment when he catches a glimpse of you in the dark room, nothing but the moon offering any sort of light.
āwell, i wouldnāt run away with you if you treat me like that,ā you mutter, adding, ājerk,ā after a few momentsājust to ensure you get your point across. he snickers, and his arm tightens its grip on you. he feels safeābecause he always speaks through his actions, no matter how big or small. the way his arms grasp you, how they always keep you in place, right by his sideāthey speak figures. drakenās love is pure, itās raw, and itās real. you crack a smile at his chuckles, the soft sound melting your heart and then some.
ākidding,ā he grins, pecking your forehead. āi wouldnāt blow all that money on plane fare just to push you off a building. i can do that anywhere.ā rolling your eyes at how pleased he seems at his answer, you grab a loose strand of hair resting on his shoulder, twirling the ends as you hum thoughtfully.
āokay, if youāre done with the shitty jokesāā
āhey, they're not shittyāā
āwhy else do you wanna go there?ā he shrugs, mindlessly stroking your back with his palm, looking off out the window.
āi donāt know...isnāt it supposed to be like...a romantic place?ā you stare at him for a moment, blinking, and for a second, he wonders if he said something wrong.
and then you break into a fit of giggles, making him stare at you bewildered as a soft blush dusts over his cheeks.
āoh kenny,ā you snort. āmy little hopeless romantic,ā you tease, pinching his cheek. the blush spreads to the tips of his ears as draken scowls, shoving your hand away and huffing. you hope he doesnāt feel your heart hammering in your chest from his words, though.
āi will shove you off a building, y/n. it can happen,ā he warns playfully. but despite his words, he still leans in and accepts the sweet kiss you press to his lips, grinning as he pulls away. āokay, your turn. where would you wanna go?ā shrugging, you twist the strand of hair around your finger, moving to trace the slope of his jaw.
āanywhere,ā you whisper. āas long as iām with you.ā you say it truthfully, and drakenās oddly emotional from the confession. he thinks back to how many cold nightsāand bloody ones tooāthat youād sat through, how you waited through worrying over his delinquent nature, how even when he couldnāt give you anything, youād treated him as though heād given you it all.
draken thinks heād follow you to the end of the world, pushing past the barriers and creating new ones if thatās what takes, just to keep you by his side. smiling softly, he presses delicate kisses to your cheeks before connecting your lips, humming into the kiss as his hand rubs up your spine.
āy/n,ā he murmurs. you hum in response. āthatās real cute,ā he huffs with a small chuckle, making you beam. and all too swiftly, youāre pulled down with your cheek smooshed against his chest and his arms locked firmly around you, no chance for escapeāthough, you donāt think youād want to leave anyway. ānow go. to. sleep.ā
