Smother Me

Soft whispers and quiet brushes of hands were all that was exchanged between the two boys as they laid together on the bed they shared, not focused or worrying about anything else in the universe except the other person held tightly in their arms.

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Surely you can take some comfort
Knowing that you're mine
Just hold me tight, lay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

Jack smiled softly, his doe eyes darting down to take in the contours of his boyfriends face. The giddy feeling that managed to knock the breath out of his lungs was as strong as ever, ready to start a storm inside his stomach as soon as Alex pressed another soft kiss to his lips.

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Alex was still in awe of how blissfully lucky he was to have found Jack. He had been a wreck until someone had pieced him back together. It took time, but Jack had the patience. He had the love that was needed to stitch every mangled and broken piece of Alex back together to make up the man that he was today. Jack knew exactly what Alex needed.

Let me be the one who never leaves
You all alone
I hold my breath and lose the feeling
That I'm on my own
Hold me too tight stay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

Jack had his doubts in the beginning too. My god, he was terrified that the blonde beauty would leave his side. He was paranoid of that, infact. And he still didn't fully understand why Alex hadn't. The boy was flawless, absolutely angelic and pure in every single way. He could do not an ounce of wrong in Jack eyes. He was perfect. He was his love.

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Alex knew that Jack was the one. He knew that he wanted to wake up each and every morning to Jack right there next to him., his body twisted in the sheets and his eyes displaying that same glint of childishness that he hadn't lost one bit of. He knew he wanted to marry Jack. To have that classic wedding with their friends and family there to celebrate how happy the two of them were together. He wanted it to be big. He wanted everyone to know how he felt about the brunette boy.

When I'm alone time goes so slow
I need you here with me
and how my mistakes have made
Your heart break
Still I need you here with me
Baby I'm here

Jack remembered the days when he was a teenager, back when they didn't live together. He remembered all those awful nights that the boys couldn't stay at each others houses. He remembered the cold nights spent with nothing buy blankets for warmth. No kisses. No cuddles. No whispering soft “I Love you’s” in the others ear while they drifted off to sleep. Just nothing. Jack didn't ever want it to be like that again.

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Jack smiled softly and leaned down, pressing his lips to Alex’s tenderly. He loved moments like this, when he could just hold him and love him. When nothing else mattered except the two of them. He lived for moments like this. Lived for the feeling Alex gave him.

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Alex returned the kiss just as sweetly, fingertips brushing against the slightly stubbled jawline of his boyfriend as Jacks arms held him close. Held him safe. There was no place like Jacks arms. It was home for Alex, the only place he felt safe.

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Jack pulled back just a little, keeping Alex close so that not even a whisper could inch itself between the two of them.

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Alex looked at him, the same amount of wonder and adoration In his eyes that Jack never, ever got tired of seeing. It was how he knew he was wanted.

They were more than wanted by the other. They were needed. Two halves, coming together to form a whole.

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
