I sat on the couch, the bright screen of the TV seemingly blaring into my eyes as I sat beside my current boyfriend Sasuke.

It was about 11 PM and he had just gotten home from work. So we did the usual. Hung out, made out, held each other, and now, we watch TV before we go to bed.

I remember vividly when Sasuke and I had first gotten together. It was a dream come true for me and it was all I had ever dreamed and wished for. We moved in together into a small, but decent sized studio apartment and started a new life together from the past one. We both had a lot of problems growing up and it was naturally right for the both of us to just grow out of it. Together.

I still love him. So much. I still get that flutter in my heart when I look into his eyes.

I still get that tingle whenever his skin touches mine.

I still experience the same intense emotions that I did when we had first met.

But it just doesn't feel the same.

Something's been so off. I don't know if it's him being gone constantly, or me fretting over really small things.

But I knew it had to be addressed tonight. I just didn't know how to do it.

We both sat there, mindlessly gazing at the TV until I felt Sasuke's lips quietly touch my cheek. The vibrations of his soft voice met my ears.

"You're out of the ordinary tonight. What's going on?"

His fingers touched the soft locks of my hair and I sighed quite deeply, trying to ignore this displeasure in my heart.

"Nothing. Just tired I guess." I glanced up at him and gave a soft smile, his void driven eyes still looking at me.

Sasuke shifted his position carefully so he was facing me.

"I feel it too."

I felt my heart sink into my stomach when I heard him say that. I looked up at him with sad eyes and whispered.

"You do? Like you feel the same but something is just really off? Like almost.. almost unsettling?"

He nodded along with my words and I began to fret. My words just began to ramble on. "I just.. I really don't know what to do about it, and I don't know if it's something to do with me or if it's something I've done o-"

I paused when I felt his hand touch my cheek. I looked up at him. Dammit. I'm still lovestruck.

Sasuke whispered to me as his lips neared closer to mine.

"It'll be okay, Y/N. It always eventually does." I watched him smile, his teeth showing. He's so perfect. Everything about him just makes me fall so hard for him. His little smile, his perfect, pixie nose, those intense, but beautiful dark eyes of his. It was all like gazing at a perfect being from a dream. An utter miracle from above.

I didn't have any words, so I automatically just hugged him and pulled him close, squeezing his embrace in my arms. He muttered quietly in my ear. "I love you, Y/N. You know I always have."

I couldn't help but let the smallest smile drift across my face. We were both scared but we both knew this odd, unsettling feeling would only go away if we stuck together. Everything felt so right with him. It always did. I always felt so comfortable in sharing the most interesting oddities with him, because I knew he loved me for me, and that was all we needed.

That feeling of weirdness and obscurity only comes when you make a breakthrough. That's why I'm willing to work it through and push through it. It's also because I just love Sasuke so dearly. He's the one that I can trust with my whole heart and not feel bad about it.

Him and I eventually made our way to bed. It was late and we needed rest for tomorrow.

I crawled into bed and he sat in a chair beside the mattress. I watched him from where I was laying and softly giggled. "What are you doing?"

Sasuke grabbed his guitar with a grin and let out a soft sigh. "Doing what feels right."

His nimble fingers began to pluck the strings, the focus on his face so clear. I relaxed in the spot I was at and just listened. Sasuke's voice started to just delicately sing a slow and subtle tune. It was quite literally music to my ears.

In this moment, I felt myself fall more and more in love with him. Sasuke played and sung my favorite tune and it was so humane and humble. I remembered why I was so dearly infatuated with him. Everything about Sasuke was just.. just perfect to me. Of course, he has his moments where he tends to push me away and just be on his own for a period of time, but I know he only does that to protect me and help himself.

It still didn't buffer the overwhelming emotions I had for him.

My eyes started to feel quite heavy, and my breathing slowed. I let myself relax while the music calmed me down. And as soon as I knew it, I was asleep.

I was so grateful to know that in the morning, he'd be right there beside me, holding me. It was a feeling that comforted me.

I'm so lucky.
