a simple encounter

"Vis... why do I have a feeling you're not doing this right?" I chuckle 

"I have to be doing it right. I am one of the most advanced things to come from the 21st century and I can't figure out how to braid one's hair?" he states as he tangles his fingers in my hair 

"It doesn't feel right," I chuckle again 

"Well, now you may look for yourself and see if it's right," he states proudly, patting my shoulder 

I stand up, and head to the mirror. I turn my head to look at the braid. I laugh at the sight of the tangled mess at the back of my head.

"Oh, dear... It is terribly wrong. Although, your attempt is absolutely adorable," I smile, walking back over to Vision as he sits on the edge of the bed

I lift myself onto the bed, straddling Vision as he places his hands on my waist. I put my hands on either side of his face, peppering kisses on his cheek and down his neck. 

"Was it really that bad?" he chuckles 

"No, it was a good first attempt. We have all the time in the world, I'll teach you" I smile 

He places a soft kiss on my lips, ending it with a smile. 

"What should we do today, darling?" he smiles 

"Well... we could do anything, Whatever your heart desires," I say softly while continuing to pepper kisses across his face 

"I'm not too sure," he replies 

"I have an idea. Right now, imagine your perfect day, everything you love to do all in one perfect day, and we will do it," I smile 

"Really?" he asks 

"Absolutely," I chuckle 

"All right then, Get dressed!" he exclaims, lifting me up and walking me over to the closet. 

I quickly pick out some casual clothes for the day and he does the same. We quickly get changed and head downstairs. As we are putting out shoes on, I look up at him with a smile. 

"Where are you taking me?" I ask 

"To my perfect day, of course," he smiles 

Within the blink of an eye, his once red vibrant skin turns a soft pale tone, complemented by dirty blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. He opens the door for me and places his hand on my lower back as we walk out the door. He closes the door behind us and holds my hand in his as we walk down the sidewalk, heading into town. The weather was warm and the sun felt nice on my skin. Vision and I walked hand in hand as he leads me to whatever mystery destination he was planning. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to face the small book store that was wedged between two larger stores. He quickly pulled me inside with a wide smile on his face and began looking through the book selections. 

"You wanted to go book shopping?" I chuckle 

"This is number one on my list yes," he replies, keeping his eyes on the books in front of him 

"I love you," I whisper 

He turns around to face me with the biggest smile on his face, reaching out and pulling me closer with a hand on my waist. He places a delicate kiss on my forehead then the tip of my nose, then finally, my lips. I close my eyes and take in the moment. After five long years of fighting, and pushing through it all I was finally where I wanted to be... by his side. Vision finished picking out some books he wanted and we headed back home. I kicked my shoes off and flopped down on the couch, shutting my eyes just to rest a little. I suddenly feel Visions cold hands on either side of my waist as he lays his entire body weight on top of me. 

"Vis! I can barely breathe under here," I shout 

"It's okay... you'll live. I just want to hold you," he whispers 

"Fine, just a little longer than we have to continue your little 'perfect day'" I chuckle 

He pushes himself up, his legs intertwined with mine and his forearms holding him above me. 

"I'm not sure what else I want," he replies 

"Well, what makes you happy?" I ask

"You. Your smile. Basically everything about you," he whispers before placing delicate kisses from my cheek down to my neck

"Vis... I don't deserve you," I reply with a smile 

He pulls himself from my neck, looking deep into my eyes with pure and genuine love. 

"I love you. I hope you know that. I love everything about you. I love when you're half asleep and talking absolute nonsense. I love how you look at me when I read to you, especially because you don't think I notice it. I love how delicate and comforting your touch is. I love how you always look so perfect, no matter what you're doing. I love the way your hands fit in mine. I love the way you read and how it is filled with enjoyment. I love the fact that you love me for me, man or Andriod. I love how protective you are over everyone you love. I love how passionate you are about the things you like. I love the way your lips curve when you try not to smile. I love how you blush when I compliment you, just like you are right now. I just, I love you." he whispers 

"Vision..." I whisper back, my face growing red and eyes beginning to water 

"I'm so sorry that you and I had to be apart for so long my love. I am sorry for the pain you endured and I am sorry that I wasn't there to hold you and promise that everything would be okay," he continues 

The tears in my eyes grow heavy and begin to fall down my face, feeling warm on my cheeks. Vision delicately lifts his hand and wipes away the tears before leaning in, placing a passionate kiss on my lips. He hums into the kiss as I wrap my arms around his torso, pulling him closer. We pull apart and he smiles at me, the warmest smile he possibly could wear. 

"Can we just lay together for a while?" he whispers 

"Absolutely," I reply

He places his head on my chest and sighs as he closes his eyes. I gently lift my hand and delicately trace circles on his arm to soothe him. His perfect day consisted of book shopping and cuddling. 

"Hey, Vis?" I whisper

"Hm?" he mumbles 

"Promise me you won't ever leave again," I whisper back 

"I promise darling. You're stuck with me. You and I will grow old together," he mutters back 

My heart warms and a smile crosses my face at his response. We will finally, finally get our forever. I mean this in the least selfish way... but we deserve this. 

"Darling?" Vision mumbles, breaking me from my thoughts 

"Yes?" I whisper back 

"Let's go to bed," he mumbles 

"Bed? but we haven't even had dinner," I chuckle 

"I'll bring you dinner in bed when the time comes, I just want to have you cuddled up to me while I read to you," he smiles 

"Fine, let's go to bed," I smile back 

Vision quickly jumps up from the couch and picks me up, throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me upstairs to our shared bedroom. He places me down gently in the bed and just before he gets in beside me, he runs back out of the room talking about his books that he forgot downstairs. Before he gets back, I jump out of bed and open my top dresser drawer, pulling out a tank top and a pair of shorts so I could be comfortable. I quickly slip them on and sit back in bed waiting for Vision to return. He re-enters the room with a big smile and his new books in hand. 

"This change of attire... it's stunning," he grins

"It's just sleepwear Vis," I chuckle 

"Yes dear, but it shows me more of you... and that, that is my favourite thing," he grins, climbing into the bed beside me

He pulls the blanket over us both and wraps an arm around me before opening his new book and beginning to read it aloud. His voice fills my head like a soothing lullaby and I rest my head against him, snuggling up as close as I can taking in his embrace.
