FWS | Love

   He loved saying her name.

   “Touko.”

   The young trainer looked to the side, brilliant blue eyes blinking at the tall man next to her. “What’s up?” A smile accompanied her question.

   He loved seeing her smile.

   “Nothing,” was all he replied. Plopping a seat next to her on the sofa, N returned her smile with a sweet chuckle.

   Mirth curled the corner of her mouth and raised her eyebrow. “You’re weird, you know that.” Giving him a gentle nudge with her left elbow, Touko diverted her attention back to her Pokédex.

   N only watched, enjoying the peaceful moment he never thought he deserved.

   Sitting cross-legged, he turned to face her. Cheeks blossoming at the sight of his beloved, N quietly toyed with the long locks of her brown hair. He gently twirled some strands, letting them brush between his fingers.

   Touko didn’t seem to mind.

   He loved being able to touch her.

   Words were void between them for a while, yet a conversation was happening through their actions. Enjoying the attention, Touko casually scooted closer to him until she rested her forearm onto his leg. The Pokédex was now held by her right hand, fingers scrolling through the screen as she checked on recent data.

   He loved the little scrunch between her eyebrows when she was focusing.

   Remembering something his guardians once taught him before, N brought his other hand up. Wordlessly, he started to bring more strands of her hair in his grasp. With newfound determination, he started to braid parts of the luscious brown locks.

   Casting a peek, she realized what he was doing and bit back a wider smile.

   She loved how much he doted on her.

   Letting him be, Touko adjusted her seating position so that she was closer. Her legs were brought up, then folded comfortably to the right side. Her head tilted slightly in his direction, giving him access to her soft hair.

   He loved how well she knew him.

   A small laugh, soft and utterly infatuated, breezed through his sheepish smile. Slender fingers worked their magic, easily braiding her brown hair. Once he reached the tip, N brought the braid closer.

   Chup. A kiss was bestowed.

   Upon hearing the sound, Touko turned her head to look at him—

   Chup, only to receive another kiss, this time to her forehead.

   The action clearly surprised her. Blue eyes widened. Soft cheeks reddened. “Geez, N…!” Flustered with giggles bubbling between her lips, Touko playfully smacked his leg with her left hand.

   He loved gauging so many different reactions out of her.

   Smile tickled along with more laughter; N gently brushed her unbraided hair to the back of her right ear. He watched as Touko tried to shake off her giddiness with a roll of her eyes. Jutting her tongue out at him, she placed the device on her right side and playfully poked his nose.

   “You have my attention.” He always had. “What do you want to do today?” Legs still in a comfy, folded position, Touko leaned against her legs while looking up at him. Her smile curved cheekily, vainly hiding her embarrassment that was still blatantly splashed on her cheeks.

   He loved how frustratingly cute she was.

   “Hmm…” he pondered. Fingers still twirled her brown hair. While his expression seemed like he was in thought, in truth, he was just mesmerized by her presence.

   How lucky he was. How blessed he was.

   Once again, he brought her braid close to his lips. “Can we just…” A whisper. Affectionate delicate. “Stay like this for a while?”

   He saw surprise flicker in her eyes. He held a breath to hear laughter bursting so brightly.

   “Of course, N.” A white smile was shown, given to the young man who had stolen her heart. “But first,” She straightened up, surprising him, “turn to the side and put your legs down.” She watched in amusement as N did what he was told. Curious as he may be, it was both endearing and funny to see that he often didn’t question her decisions. Deciding that her left arm was numb, Touko carefully plopped down and rested the back of her head on his leg.

   The action caught him off guard, green eyes blinking in brief stupor at the smiling woman under his gaze.

   He then felt her hands on his warm cheeks.

   Ba-dump!

   “I love you, N!”

   Ba-dump, ba-dump!

   Ah… How his heart screamed for her.

   Heat rushed to the tips of his ears. Smile trembled. Laugh bubbled. Holding her hands that were still on his cheeks, N gave a gentle squeeze. “I love you too, Touko.”

   He truly did.

   He loved her.

   He loved her so, so much.
