- Leaning their foreheads together, completely out of breath after a long kiss..
This doesn't happen too often. Kisses, caresses, and hugs were a common thing for them. They were nothing if not physical about their affection for each other. But sometimes, just sometimes, during their fleeting goodnight kisses or warm pecks of morning wishes, he would have this sudden realization that the tiny girl in his arms was all his, wholly and irrevocably, inside and out, she was all his by her own will. This beautiful soul who was all the light in his world, his sun and moon and star, was there with him all of the time and knew him for all he was and all he could and she was just there with him and never away. The feeling that he would feel in that moment remained the most describable thing for him, the one he would willingly spend all his life trying to name, but in that moment all he has is that moment so he holds her closer still and deepens his kiss, trying to say all that words, stupid, pathetic, useless words, could never say to her. He says it all through his kiss and only the basic instinct to survive by breathing makes him stop saying all the unsaid. Then even when their lips separate, their breaths mingle with each other as one as he leans down to rest his forehead against hers' and she gently touches his face to steady herself because it's too much, too much, for anyone to handle. But she accepts it all. When she opens her eyes and looks up at him, he knows that she understood it and all accepted it all and welcomed it all. And then if it's possible, he falls for her some more.
- Waking up together after their first time..
The proof of them being the perfect partners for each other lay in the way they were also so in sync with each other. Their emotions and actions and reactions seemed to have tuned themselves to match the other. Though their hearts physically resided within their own chests, the beats of the heart always rang as if coming from one source only. Maybe that was the reason how perfectly synchronized the rise and fall of their sleeping bodies. They were not a tangled mess, each was on their own corner of the bed with only their hands entwined, a perfect picture of serenity in the morning after the long night of erupting passions. She is the one who breaks the rhythm first, her body shifting as sleep starts to leave her. She lazily opens her eyes and sees his face, his beautiful, glorious face, so at peace with the world in his sleep; the sleep which leaves him seconds after her eyes lay on him. He looks back at her with sleep laden eyes and she scoots herself closer to him, wrapping his arm around her and finding her place in the nook of his neck. They sigh contently as she wishes him a good morning and he wishes her back but none of them breaks the hold on each other. Realization and talks and coffees come much later..
- Falling asleep on the couch..
It happens during their movie night. She, being she, does the unthinkable and beats him at a bet (she might look small and act proper but she could eat gol gappas like a real boss) and gets the right to choose the movie for the date. He laughs jokingly and says lovingly that he would be fine with anything as long as it's with her but nothing could prepare him for the documentary on the history of the galaxies. She claims that she went with this particular choice because he loves the stars and it wouldn't hurt knowing some facts about them. He consoles himself saying that he can have fun times with her whilst the movie would be going on because when have they ever considered the atmosphere before getting in the mood, but when he sees her so engrossed in the drab narration of the documentary, the second unthinkable happens and he loses all his mood to do anything. And for her sake, purely for the sake of not repeating the grave mistake of never considering her feelings, he tries to pay attention. And ends up resting his head on the back of the couch and dozing off to sleep. She notices him knocked out five minutes later and chuckles to herself before pausing the movie and resting her head on his lap, welcoming the sleep to wash over her. They make a rather interesting picture for her Chachi to find, all his tall limbs sprawled uncomfortably and her tiny self snuggled close to him, both of them dozing off on the couch of her living room without a care in the world...before Chacha comes unannounced and wakes them up.
- staring at each other from across the room like the lovestruck idiots they are..
Just because the two of them got together didn't mean their worlds merged into one. He still put his music above everything and she forgot all her distractions to concentrate on her science. They just made a separate world for themselves where all their contrasting factors cohabited peacefully. Though sometimes they would forget that the did actually live in a world where other people existed as well. Times like these, the two of them would be seen physically being at separate corner of the room with him holding his guitar, playing a song he knows she loves, and her sitting on a chair with books open in her lap but all attention on him because she knows he plays the song for her. Their eyes locked with each other like it happens in those sappy romantic novels but they didn't care about them. Their friends would. Mukti would see him and facepalm at her friend's uncool actions while Cabir would awww over it and record it all in his camera. Navya would witness the scene and just because she could, she would shake her friend out of her reverie and drag her away, muttering curses towards the guy who wouldn't let her friend concentrate on her exams and distract her with his music and random demands. But while being dragged away, she would look back at him because he would be looking at her and wouldn't stop doing so till she was completely out of sight. The tough part of dealing with their friends came after their eyes could no longer lock in a gaze but hey, anything for these precious moments.
- meeting again after being separated for a year..
The year was basically just 365 days without touching her, 8760 hours without seeing her face, 525,600 minutes without playing with her hair...oh god, it was an eternity for him. Though they talked daily and she called him twice everyday to wish him a good morning and kiss him goodbye, despite the time difference of their lands, but she wasn't there with him. All the whatsapp messages and viber calls and skype convos couldn't deal with the fact that his soul ached to be with her. It had taken him all the self restraint in the world to stop himself from catching the next flight to California and be where she was because this one year apart would secure their many years together. It was something they had to go through. He knew that she felt the same there without him as well but it was established that he was the impatient one in their relationship. Impatience which was turning into restless anger the longer she took to get out from the arrivals area to where he stood waiting for her in the freezing night. He had a feeling that he would do something crazy the moment he set her eyes on her coming out and he had prepared himself for that. His body had the tendency of doing strange things whenever she was around. But what happened actually surprised him. The moment she came out from behind the doors, his body froze from the sheer joy of finally seeing her not from behind a computer screen but in actual surroundings. The realization that she was running towards him on the same ground he stood transfixed on made it difficult for him to breath. Thankfully his body didn't need the use of his brain where she was concerned and his arms wrapped around her tightly when she flung herself towards him, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him straight on the mouth. The taste of her lips filled him with the sense of being alive that he had been missing for the past year and he picked her up from the ground, swaying her in his embrace as they took in each other scents and kissed whatever part they could in that tight embrace. Not even the security personnel who broke them apart could dampen their joy of being together again. They were all laughter and cheer as they went out, arm in arm, her luggage foolishly forgotten behind.
- being incredibly, absolutely, blissfully happy..
It doesn't come easy for them, being together. It's hard work and patience and they are stubborn and impatient. They fight and struggle but still stick with each other. Because they grow everyday. Mistakes they make but they never repeat the same mistakes again. With all their embraces and touches and kisses they find out more about the other person and take it all in. It's never a smooth ride with them, the bumps come from everywhere but they never let go of each other's hand. They constantly work towards building something which is unshakable and secure and they never do it out of duty or obligation but only because they know that is something they've been looking for all their lives and that's something that only they can get from each other. The love never goes away and it keeps increasing, so much so that he jokes that new word should be invented for what they feel for each other. She laughs and smacks him but doesn't disagree. Then the days come when tears become a distant memory for them and each day begins with a smile and ends with content breaths mingling with each other. Happiness becomes them and life for them becomes all that they never thought could ever be..
