Summary: Do you love me?
Do you love me? he asks because he's never entirely sure why she's here, what she sees in him beyond the math. He forgets sometimes (often, frequently, more than he should), that she's there, even. And then he'll see her smile, sunshine seeping into the corners of his mind like a surprise, like something that can't be quantified. Angles, curves, planes. Calculations come easily but feelings are slippery, enigmatic.
She curls his hair around one finger, laughing at him as she teases out the ringlets, making him scowl.
She's fearless and brave and herself in a way that he will never be and perhaps that's why he loves her. Perhaps.
Do you? he asks.
Well, she says, pouting, rolling over on top of him, biting her lip and spreading her legs, her eyes bright with happiness and need. Well, she says, if you have to ask.
He grins and kisses her, inhaling deep, breathing her in, through his teeth, his tongue, his skin. Her body settles on to him, and he feels it, all of it, all of her, every last part. She's the missing piece, what makes him whole, and even when he forgets, when he goes away, she's there, waiting, strong and knowing. Ready to bring him back, bring him home.
Always.
