DU ELSKER MEG.

JEG ELSKER DEG.

     It was already quite late. Both Aria and Chris drained. Aria looked over at Chris, the two of them laughing softly at the other. Chris brushed Aria's messy hair out of her face, tucking a loose strand behind her ear. The two of them sighed simultaneously, both of them laughing at the coincidence. Maybe all this time together is morphing them into the same person. Aria smiled up at Chris, her eyelids growing heavy, but not wanting to sleep. She just wanted to be with him at this moment. She could sleep later. She wanted to be with him now.

"You're so beautiful" Chris spoke softly, swooning as he brushed his thumb over Aria's bottom lip. He smiled softly, moving his hand back to his cheek as he admired her. His fingers traced the outline of her jaw mindlessly. Aria admired Chris, her eyes scanning each of his features.

"I love you." Aria whispered back softly. Chris returned, "I love you too." He spoke even quieter than Aria. There was nobody around, they were home alone, but both were exhausted, on the edge of falling asleep. Both of their eyes began to flutter shut, they forced themselves to wake up. Chris knew he'd have work later tomorrow, meaning he wouldn't be able to spend his whole day with her. Now was a precious moment. He wanted to remember her every feature, he knew he'd miss her. Sometimes when he was at work, his mind would wander and he'd think of Aria. For a split second, he'd forget what Aria looked exactly like, it always came to him seconds after but he never wanted to forget.

Chris forced himself to wake up, he smiled down at Aria, watching her drift in and out of sleep, "Hey, you, go to sleep." Chris whispered. Aria giggled a little, rubbing her eyes groggily. Aria snuggled into Chris' side, her arm fling around him. Chris sighed softly, butterflies swarming in his stomach. For a moment, he felt wide awake as he heard Aria softly him as she cuddled into him a little more. God, how he loved her. He didn't know it was possible to love someone so much. He hoped they'd never lose that, but he was sure they wouldn't, they cared too much about one another to ever let that happen.

"I can't." Aria informed Chris, her eyes ironically shut as she spoke in a soft voice. "Why not?" Chris whispered, his voice softer and even more quiet than hers. Hearing her sweet voice calmed him once again and he slipped back into the state he was in before, not quite asleep but almost.

Aria shook her head, but really only nuzzled her head into Chris' chest, "I don't wanna. Cause if I go to sleep, I know I'll regret it tomorrow when you go to work." She explained to him, a smile grew on her face once she heard his quiet laugh.

"I'll still see you." Chris teased her playfully. He found it quite sweet that she wanted to be with him. Sort of an innocent admiration as well. It was nothing big, she just wanted to be with him, but it felt like more. It was always more for them.

"And I'll still miss you." Aria elaborated. Chris opened his eyes, looking down at the girl. Her bright hair was messy, a few strands covering her face now. Her arm wrapped around him as she cuddled into him. Her eyes shut as she spoke. Her legs were intertwined with his and her head rested on his chest. He barely moved when he spoke, afraid to disrupt her. She was so adorable, so gorgeous, he gushed. How did she look so beautiful right now?

Chris spoke even more quiet than before, "I'd never leave you, you know that." He couldn't risk waking her. Aria nodded a little, "I know that. Just like I'd never leave you." She agreed.

"Come here." Chris beckoned. He lifted Aria's head a little to snake his arm around her, holding her in his arms. She hummed as he pulled her closer to his chest. She snuggled her head into him, sighing softly. Aria momentarily opened her eyes to look at at Chris. Her eyes scanned the features of his face, she smiled a little and admired how precious he was. She tried to take a mental picture of him. She never wanted to forget this moment. Forget him right now.

They both hoped it
would stay like this forever.
