Azul was having trouble sleeping again.
He might not admit it, but the faint traces of exhaustion underneath his eyes was a giveaway that he was plagued with nightmares.
Turns out you were right when he called you one night to come over to his room, asking you sheepishly if you could stay with him for a few nights.
“Can’t sleep, my love?”
Upon hearing your soothing yet worried voice, Azul’s constant tossing and turning came to a halt.
“I’m sorry, if I’m being a burden.” Azul’s eyes glistened, peering at you with guilt.
“No, you're not a burden. You asked for me, so I’m here.” you emphasized, kissing his forehead to ease his mind. “On the contrary, it is a joy having you near me.”
Azul fell silent, taking his time to soak in your kind words.
You always had a way with your words that managed to calm his troubled mind.
Then and there, he could feel lightness blooming in his soul.
“Hey, sweetheart.”
“Yes, love?” you hummed, lips curling into a smile.
“You’re the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met.” said Azul, feeling a rush of intense love as you looked at him with affectionate eyes.
“Oh my, I’m not sure how to respond to that.”
“Uh, well, you can say I know from here on.”
“Alright then.” you giggled lightly.
“You’re the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met.” Azul repeated softly, his loving gaze never straying from your bright face.
“I know.” you said, your radiant smile not wavering.
So are you, Azul. you thought to yourself, and deep down he knew that too.
“When I’m with you, I feel happy and I feel like I’m home.”
“I know.”
“You gave my abandoned thoughts a safe place in your heart.”
“I know.”
“When everything was falling apart, you didn’t let go of my hand. You helped me endure and encouraged me to carry on.” Azul brushed a kiss on the crown of your head.
“I know, my love. I know.” Tears emerged from your eyes, and you let it flow freely.
“You’re very dear and important to me.” Azul cupped your tear-stained cheek, caressing it lightly.
“I know, and so are you.” Leaning into his touch, you placed a little kiss on his hand.
Then his room was engulfed in a comfortable silence.
In the darkness of the night, you listened to each other’s gentle breathing and drifted to a peaceful slumber.
Azul watched you laughing heartily with Jade and Floyd, but he was the one out of breath.
Every time he heard you laugh, happy thoughts came rushing to his heart and mind.
It was a weekend, early in the morning when he decided to wander by the sea alongside you and the Leech brothers.
The spring breeze blew calmly, and the mellow sun shimmered gloriously like amber.
“Hey Azul,” Jade called out. “Won’t you stop staring at your darling?”
The silver-haired man was gazing at you the whole time with a failed attempt to hide his big smile, the same lovely smile you always adored.
“It astonishes me that my darling is still here with us. I still can’t believe it.”
“You better believe it now.” Jade teased him in a good natured tone.
You were supposed to depart from Twisted Wonderland when you were in your third year, and return to where you came from, but God had other plans for you.
Somehow you were destined to stay here.
After all, you believed that home was never a place.
It was a feeling. It was being with the people who you truly loved and cared for.
You belonged with the people who appreciated having you in their lives, and loved you back wholeheartedly.
“There’s no place I’d rather be.” you beamed at your beloved Azul, then at the twins, your glowing smile brimming with a love deeper than the oceans.
Azul’s mind was blown at the breathtaking sight of you, looking so delighted and vivacious.
Even now, he was still wonderstruck at how you seemed to bring the warmth and the light of the radiant sun wherever you go.
Your existence, your presence, and your love wasn’t burning red. It was bright, luminous and golden as daylight.
When Azul Ashengrotto thought that his once cold heart couldn’t melt softly any further, it did.
