Dex's POV

I was vaguely aware of the sound of Sophie and Biana talking in the next room, but all I could think about was Fitz's arms holding me. He was so warm and smelled like everything I'd ever dreamed about.

As Fitz led me into his room, I realized I'd never actually seen it. It was mostly gray, white, and black, except for one wall. That wall was covered in pictures. Pictures of Sophie, Tam and Linh, all of us. Pictures of his family, of things he found beautiful. But the pictures of me covered most of it.

"This is gorgeous, Fitz." The shock must've shown on my face, because Fitz laughed gently.

"I keep it in here," Fitz said, the words coming slow as he looked at me, "because I needed a reminder of the things I keep close in this world."

He wrapped me in a crushing hug, whispering "I'm so glad this works" in my ear. I grinned, blushing, and reached to tickle him. He choked, and I pulled away, as he chased me. "You won't get away with that on my watch, Dexie!"

I don't think I've smiled this much since Keefe disappeared. Fitz pounced on me, pinning me to the bed and attacking me with tickles and kisses intermittently. I pulled him down on me, kissing him hard, and using his shock to leap up and attack his neck with my fingers.

"Hahah, got you, you little fattie!"

He mocked being hurt. "I'm not fat, am I?"

I grinned and messed with his hair.

"You're perfect, Fitz."
