#feeling kinda poetic tonight but idk it’s not really poetry

[bigdumbbambieyes]

steve tilts billy’s head back with gentle hands

careful of the bruises and bleeding

and presses the softest love against his mouth

silent promises and loud whispers of protection

“i’ll never let anyone hurt you.”

licking billy’s tears and wounds

stitching him up with affection and tenderness

letting the blond snap when it becomes too much

knowing it’s what he does and that’s okay

because steve’s holding him close as they fall asleep in his bed

listening to the soft breathing and gentle sleep sounds billy makes

and loving him and loving him and loving him
