Paradise Found

My fully aware state fluttered just out of reach. The only time it did that was when my lover was lying beside me. And lately, that had not been very often. I had just been too busy. But did my koi complain? No.

Ryou's white hair was like a halo over the pillow, and I couldn't see his eyes. His breathing wasn't deep like a sleeping person's, so he had to be awake. But he seemed to think best when he was in my bed, so for now I wouldn't say anything.

This was bliss. With my tenshi next to me, I was willing to push everything away for a few moments. My paradise depended on my love. If he was, anywhere could be heaven.

"Koi? Are you awake?"

I compulsively pull him closer. If he wasn't awake, he would be now. He couldn't sleep through anything. I felt a flash of guilt that disappeared as he sighed and put his head on my chest.

"Yes."

I'd do anything to keep him here with me. Ryou was my release, my saviour. My paradise.
