I can't stop staring at his beautiful face: the harmonious features, the soft skin, the gentle eyes. I've lost myself in his eyes a million times and I will never stop doing it. Through his dark, seductive pupils that mirror his soul, I could see his every joy or torment with one glance.
<<What is it, Mon Chéri?>> Regulus asks me looking up and resting his chin on my chest. <<You are too pretty.>> I reply with a smile and kiss him on the forehead.
I've always wished my mouth could form words as lovelu and beautiful as the ones he reserves for me. However, no one can compete with those. Sweet and edgy, he always knows what to say and how to do it. Honest, polite, courteous, and forthright. Regulus either charms or irritates, there's no compromise.
He smiles and presses his forearm into the mattress. <<You look even more beautiful in the morning, Leo.>> He says then hides his head in my neck crook.
I've always loved his smile. When the rosy and delicate lips open, curving the angles up into those lovely dimples, my heart skips a beat and all the things around me lose their meaning.
<<How is it possible, Mon Chéri?>> He leaves me a kiss on the neck and I find myself at the pinnacle of happiness.
His kisses are the sweetest thing in the world. I can't get enough of them. I wish I could bottle and store them, but they melt like honey on my tongue.
I hug him and make him lie down over me. He kisses me and touches my torso. <<What is my Starlet up to?>> I whisper playfully on his lips, aware of how annoyed he is by the nickname. <<Come on, don't call me that!>> he exclaims, without hiding a smile.
Every time he touches me, we come together like a puzzle into one wonderful design.
<<Are you cold?>> I ask when I realize the blankets are still at the foot of the bed. He shakes his head, puts his hands on my chest, and sits up. <<No. I just need you, Leo.>> He says hesitantly with an innocent face that makes him even cuter than he already is. <<You want me?>> I ask slowly and thoughtfully and he nods. <<When will your parents come home, Regulus?>> I sit up as well. <<We have the whole day to ourselves, I belive.>> he answers with a smirk.
He completes me. I've never felt so alive as when I'm with him. I've never felt so in love as when he tenderly touches me. I have never felt so loved as when his fingers caress me gently and delicately. We truly loved each other for three years. He is the epitome of my love.
<<I wish my parents were out of town more often, Leo.>> He comments lying on the back as I stroke his hair. <<Me too. This is my idea of a perfect morning. Now I can prepare breakfast while you wash: I know how much you enjoy showering in the morning.>> <<Never! You'd set the house on fire!>> He exclaims and I can't help but laugh. <<Then I could go to the bakery down the street.>> I suggeset. I get out of bed and approach my bedroom door. <<Naked?>> Regulus asks raising an eyebrow.<<I bet that blond guy at the till wouldn't mind.>> <<Mh, I don't think his boyfriend would be happy though.>> <<Oh, but he can admire all this splendor too. I'm good-looking enough for all three, don't worry.>> I laugh as I get dressed. I will have a pistachio croissant and cappuccino for breakfast, he will have a cream donut and orange juice, and we'll eat at the dinner table discussing trivial topics.

With powdered sugar on his lips, he smiles sincerely, and I can't help but do the same. Yet I know it's different, that something has changed. He's pulling away from me one day at a time. Knowing him, he hasn't noticed yet. Knowing him, he does not want to see. Perhaps it began two weeks ago at his best friend's party; perhaps it began more than a month ago at the bar before entering college. Maybe before, maybe after. If I had noticed it immediately, I could have done something. Although it probably would have been in vain. It's like a vase leak. Drop by drop, the vase becomes empty, and before I can do anything, it will be empty. However, it feels like a leak in the Pandora vase.
I don't want this to end. The mere thought hurts me more than a sword that pierces my chest would. But now all I have to do is watch the water flow. I still love him, that's why I need to do what is right for him. I have to stay close to him and give him a chance to realize he doesn't love me anymore. I have to stay close to him and then let him go when the time comes.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCWLConGuH
