It was the way he held your hand. So gingerly, his fingers curled around your own, guiding your body to follow the rhythm. The other on the small of your back, never moving whilst the two of you moved with the music.
The music carried the two of you to a divine tune, the harp prominent in the melody. You could live in this moment forever if you could. With his thumb gently running along the skin of your hand and your arm wrapped around his neck, you didn't know how much more perfect this could get.
"I'm up here, my love."
Kaeya's voice pulled you from your thoughts. You lifted your head, the dimly lit lights of the room illuminating the figure in front of you.
Your gaze no longer on your feet, you looked back at the periwinkle gazing back at you. The strides the couple of you were taking slowed, a gentle rhythm forming. Swaying in place, feet occasionally rocking at the right times.
"I know, I'm sorry," you said softly, giving an apologetic smile.
"You look gorgeous tonight, have I told you that?" Kaeya hummed, pulling you a little closer to his body. Your chests pressed together gently, making something in your stomach flutter. You tried to hold back your reaction, but easily failed as you broke into a smile.
It wasn't long before the hand holding stopped, both hands now wrapped around Kaeya's neck. His other arm fell to your hip, holding you close to him. He didn't want to let you go. You would probably have to convince him to release you, only for him to follow you to your bed that night.
He just couldn't get enough of you. The feeling of holding you in his arms so intimately right now. Just being in your presence was enough to make him happy.
Kaeya dipped his head to rest his forehead against yours. It didn't take long for him to start eyeing your lips. Noticing this, you leaned forward to press your lips to his, Kaeya not wasting a second to kiss you back.
The kiss was slow and tender at first, your lips melding perfectly with his. Simple and loving even, did he kiss you. If it was even possible, Kaeya wrapped his arms around your hips even more. He was always careful at first, but the moment you allowed him to, he would put his whole heart into his movements.
Even after you had pulled away from him to catch fresh air, Kaeya snuck in one more quick peck. You could feel the heat in your face as you rested the side of your head against his chest.
One of his hands left your hip to hold your head, keeping you close. It was comfortable, just resting in his hold. His heartbeat beneath your ear. His hand stays on your back, occasionally adjusting the position of his fingers. Looking down at you, admiring what the two of you were doing.
The two of you stayed like that for a while, sometimes taking peeks at each other. You had moved your arms to hug him around his torso, feet moving lazily to the music.
The song had long changed since earlier, something with a gentler lute playing. It was much more slow dance worthy than previous songs, the notes slower paced and better fitting.
You could get used to being in his arms more often.
