Author: sdk
Fandom: Alles Was Zählt
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Deniz/Roman
Rating: PG
Length/Word Count: Ficlet, 199 words
Notes: This takes place when Deniz and Roman first get together and is inspired by ep300 which contains the scene where I fell in love with DeRo. Special thanks to lilithilien for looking this over first and convincing me it wasn't utterly ridiculous. If you're not familiar with Alles Was Zählt, I believe the linked clip is probably all you need to understand context for this ficlet. (And then you'll want to watch from the beginning, trust me!)

All the Time in the World

When he looks at Roman, it's easy to forget. His dad's angry glares disappear with Roman's twinkling eyes, the way Roman's lip curves into a playful smile, the way his voice deepens, somehow still laced with the tinkling of teasing. "What turns you on?" Roman asks, and Deniz feels the heat rising to his cheeks. He's too old to blush; it's foolish, and Deniz wants to turn his head, but he can't look away.

Everything is temporary. Throughout his seventeen years Deniz has learned that lesson well, but when Roman touches his cheek, temporary fades to a distant memory. A nervous laugh bubbles up in Deniz's throat; before he can avert his eyes, Roman reassures him with a smile. Roman, who always knew—who is so sure of everything, of who he is, of what he wants, he erases any lingering shame with that smile.

Together, it will beautiful, Roman promises, and Deniz swallows hard. He isn't sure he's ready—not for everything all at once, but he wants it, wants all that Roman offers.

But Roman stills Deniz's thoughts with a squeeze of his hand. Don't worry, his eyes say. We have all the time in the world.
