*continues to caress her, taking her in, not just looking at, but through her, to her soul, no longer concerned with how hot she is, or, how silly she's been in the past, or, nieve she's been when she got here. She's no longer that girl he flirted with, and he's no longer the boy trying to protect the girl... He sees her now.. and though neither of them are the same as when they got here, who they have become, still managed to find each other all over again, and so he lay there over her. Time it'self taking a break for them, as the world around them seems to stand still, caressing her cheek, looking longingly into her eyes like a home he never knew he was searching for was there in her eyes the whole time* I love you too Laika...
