HIM AND HER

HIM AND HER

He held her hand in his like the universe cradles the Earth, firm, gentle, protective. As if letting go would mean everything would unravel. As if she was the center of everything he knew to be real.

She looked up at him, into the eyes she had fallen for long before she admitted it. Eyes that held entire galaxies. One a warm, caramel brown that made her feel like golden hour lived inside him, the other a deep, ocean blue that mirrored the storms and calm of her own soul.

He gazed at her with the kind of intensity that made the world blur. Every word unspoken between them lived in that moment. He stepped closer, his hands finding her waist and pulling her toward him until there was no space left. She clung to him instinctively, like her heart recognized its home.

His forehead rested gently on hers, his breath mingling with hers, steady and warm.

Her ear settled beside his chest, and she heard it, the soft, strong rhythm of his heartbeat, pulsing like a promise. Like it had been waiting just for her.

"I won’t say I’ll bring you the stars or the moon,” he murmured, his voice low and full of meaning. “But I will be there in your lowest moments. When you’re cold and no one’s near to hold you, you’ll find me. Always. Arms open, waiting to wrap around you. Because sweetheart, you don’t just rule my heart… you rule my whole existence.

She melted into his embrace, heart fluttering at his words. No one had ever made her feel like this before. Seen, wanted, treasured. It was overwhelming in the best way, like her soul had been wrapped in warmth after a lifetime of frost.

She slowly pulled back, just enough to look at him again. Into those eyes.

Two different colors. Two different worlds. Yet perfectly made to meet hers.

He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and cradled her cheeks with reverence, like even the act of touching her was a kind of sacred ritual. He stared at her, memorizing every inch of her face, as if he was afraid time might steal the details.

“I was a blank page,” she whispered, voice barely louder than the breeze, “before you painted me with your love… and I became a masterpiece, created by your hands, your heart, by you.”

He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to. His lips found her forehead, soft and full of affection. And in that kiss, she felt it all. Their past, their present, and the infinite future waiting to unfold.

Two strangers who had once met by accident, now bound by something beyond reason. Beyond fate.

A love written not just in promises, but in presence. Not just in moments, but in the quiet in-betweens. A love written in stars, and skin, and
