Sweet dribbly stuffs. Don't judge me! XP

"Goddamn, you're-a beautiful…"
Pavi felt a familiar crooked smirk pull at the corner of his mouth. His own mouth, which was completely uncovered for the night, as it always was whenever she was here. The "she" in question was sleeping soundly beside him in his well-cushioned, king-sized bed, curled up at his side like the delicate creature he knew she was inside. Or used to be, at least.
Her brown eyes were closed, exposing her dark, gently fluttering eyelashes more prominently as she slept. Pavi's hand stroked her cheek gently, and he admired the light glow her skin gave under the sepia tone of his bedroom lights.Her curls were swept out of her face, resting gently against her bare shoulders in chocolatey-brown waves. The blanket covering them made it to about the middle of her back, exposing more of her her smooth skin and delicate wings protruding from her shoulder blades. The scars that covered her neck were left pinkened from an evening of love bites and kisses, and his fingers gently went over them as she fell deeper into her sleep.
In a word, she was perfect.
And she was his and his alone, now and forever. Pavi was still having a little difficulty in believing that last part, but it was moments like this that made him dare to hope, and dare to trust, that she truly would stay with him until his or her dying day. While everyone and everything else in his life had attempted to leave him at some point or another, Mina seemed to be the only one to stay, and want him to stay in return. Which was what made laying her at night with her, and waking up with her still at his side in the morning, make Pavi's heart soar.
"I could-a marry you, you know that?" He whispered, smiling softly as he laid more comfortably on his side to face the woman. She stirred gently in her sleep, moving closer to his side, but remained asleep. Pavi was grateful for that, both for the obvious and the fact that Mina no doubt needed her sleep. But mostly for the former.
It wasn't as though he hadn't thought about it before. And it wasn't as if it hadn't been brought up in the magazines and the gossip columns the world over. Had the famous billionaire playboy finally settled down into a permanent relationship with the woman of his dreams? Of course only Pavi, Mina, and his family knew the true answer to that, which was a big, fat yes. But there were several things keeping marriage from being an option. One being Pavi's assumed fear of the very word, and another being Mina's previous marriage which made Pavi uncertain if she'd want to wear another man's ring ever again, after the hell she'd been through the first time. Other reasons were his siblings own distastes for the idea, and the undoubtable stir that would come from the media.
But another, one that Pavi kept to himself and hadn't even been willing to admit to himself…was that he was too shy to ask her. Pushing his fears about marriage itself aside, he was terrified of hearing Mina's answer. He no longer doubted that the woman truly loved him back as much as he loved her, but he still couldn't bring himself to even hope that she would say yes. His own confidence was just too low…for once.
Wrapping his arm around the woman's shoulders, being careful of her wings, Pavi sighed before pressing his lips to her forehead briefly. Mina curled closer to his chest, her face instinctively leaning into the crook of his neck, which made him smile. He loved moments like this, mainly because this was when he felt the most comfortable around Mina…if only because she was asleep.
Pavi had never been shy around a woman…but around Mina, he often felt that he had difficulty in expressing his true feelings. Well, difficulty on a millionaire playboy's level, anyway. It both intrigued and confused him that this woman was the sole person who could make him feel this way…and made him fear what sort of power she would be able to hold over him.
Because Pavi knew, as well as Mina, that he would do anything for her.
Even die for her.
He'd come close what with his encounter with Hyde. And he would do it again, a thousand times over if she wanted him to. She was both his strength and his weakness. The house upon the rock, and the wave threatening to reach it and send it crashing down to the shore below.
Love was a terrifying, exhilarating experience. And Pavi was enjoying and fearing in it more and more everyday.
