Tell me a story.

( There once was a boy who would never grow up )

He sat just outside the hospital room door with his back pressed against the wall, resting his head in his hand while he waited for news from the doctors. To the casual passerby he looked worried. And he was worried, but not about what would happen in the hospital room.

( Peter knew what would happen when he made his decision )

They rocked desperately up against each other, heavy gasps for breath passing through their parted lips when they broke from their hungry kisses. The girl’s legs were wrapped tightly around his hips to keep their bodies close. Her fingers were anchored down on his shoulders and every few moments a tiny spark would pass from her skin to his. He let out a gasp at the jolt but far from stopping, the brief flash of pain made him jerk and push deeper into her body.

( Turns out Elle was right: Peter did grow to like it )

Ten things you like about your significant other.

1. His glasses. I like the way he looks while he's wearing them, the way they frame his face.
2. His smile. He has the greatest smile I've ever seen.
3. The way he can take control but give it back as well, and I like that he's okay doing both.
4. He's a great dancer.
5. I like how his heart feels beating against mine when we cuddle close together. It's very soothing
6. I like how enthusiastic he gets about Star Trek
7. He spoils me. I almost hate to admit it, but I really enjoy being spoiled.
8. He doesn't laugh (too much) about my obsessions
9. He's the only one who really understands me
10. I can talk to him about absolutely anything
