Just when I thought the kiss would last for all eternity, it was over. My wide, questioning eyes shifted back to his, wondering why he pulled away.
He ruffled my hair and flashed me a charming smile, it was so bright that it lit up the whole room. He gazed at me with his eyes glowing with unmistakable tenderness.
"Thank you for being here when I needed you the most." He whispered with eyes half-closed and continued to ruffle my hair like a child.
"You don't have to thank me, Ace." I respond, my cheeks heating up. "I will always care for you without expecting anything in return."
He didn't say anything. Instead, he held me into his arms and buried his nose into the crown of my head. I closed my eyes, savoring the indescribable moment that seemed magical.
