✧🌱🪻✧ ✧#𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞✧ "I want to hold you so close that I could reach inside your ribs. To protect your heart, your very heartbeat… Habibi.." The one who was usually so logical seemed… fragile in a way that was profoundly, unmistakably human. Because no one had ever said anything like that to him before. They admired his mind, relied on his abilities, and were impressed by his unwavering resolve. But Wisteria embraced him as someone precious in his entirety. His heart, too. His very heartbeat—the place where her universe lived. "You already have… Wisteria." "Before I met you, I never really cared whether I exhausted myself, got hurt, or fell apart, as long as I could keep functioning." "But now…" He drew her closer still, holding her as though she were the very center of his gravity. "I want to live a long life." "So I can come home to you. Every single day." Those words were far more intimate than 'I love you.' They were so unmistakably him. They closed their eyes again, sinking into an embrace that had always felt like the safest place in the world. 🌱🪻 ©Lineart: goramie/mar
