The moment the melody of your favourite song came floating out from the speaker, the first orange hue rose from the horizon.
A breeze glided over the water, carrying the echoes of the waves rolling up the shores through the open patio door.
But the only sound that mattered to you was Kuroo’s voice, husky and gentle, singing softly along by your ear. One of his hands rested on your waist, his other held your hand as you danced slowly along the music.
He pulled you closer then, his forehead rested against yours. With every word he sang you could feel them on your lips. Your eyes fluttered shut, bathing in bliss.
The same song that you’ve heard a thousand times with him. A swell of nostalgia, rising like the crest of the waves, rose inside you.
The first time you saw him; your first date; meeting your parents; moving in together; all the ups and downs you shared together; a river of memories flooded through your mind that lead you to now.
When you opened your eyes, you found yourself reflecting so clearly in his hazel eyes. Both of you were simply swaying to the beat now. His hand travelled from your waist, until they were cupping your cheeks. He gazed at you with nothing but adoration, enough to eclipse even the morning sunrise.
“How come as every year goes by, I’m in love with you more?” He murmured. He leaned down, just enough for his lips to capture yours briefly, before he pulled away.
A soft laugh escaped from you as you gazed back at him teasingly. “Even more than when you shouted your love for me at the school rooftop during morning assembly?”
Kuroo grinned, his eyes sparkling mischievously at the memory. “Even more,” he answered. With his hand still laced with yours, he suddenly twirled you around.
“Tetsurou!” You scrambled to grab the bedsheet swaddled around you which threatened to unravel.
“Nothing I didn’t see before,” he winked. Maybe it was the dawn light tinting his eyes, but the passion in his gaze seemed to be burning stronger than ever.
You reached out to stomp on his foot, but he was quick to react, because sometimes he knew you better than yourself.
Kuroo laughed when you missed. If there was one thing you could never get tired of hearing, it was the sound of his laughter. It was infectious, the kind of laugh that always made other people laugh along, and you found yourself smiling along. He dropped a light kiss on the tip of your nose as you struggled to wrap the sheet back around you.
“Here,” he tucked the end edges in. “Though I don’t see why it matters since it’s gonna come off later anyway,” he said the last part by your ear, his husky voice sending a shiver of anticipation down your spine. He chuckled when he saw your flushed cheeks. Then, his eyes softened, the side of his fingers brushed your red cheeks.
“I don’t think there are words that can express how much I love you, and how lucky I am that you love me back.”
Your hands trailed up his toned biceps, up along his neck. “I’m the lucky one, Tetsurou,” you whispered back. Because you really were. A man who loved you more and more with each passing day.
“Nuh uh, shouldn’t you be listening to me today?” He grinned the grin that always made your heart dance faster, no matter how much time has passed.
“Happy birthday, Tetsurou,” you smiled up at him.
The corners of his lips lifted, and you both leaned into each other at the same time. The breeze danced through your makeshift dress, billowing the white sheet behind you. The song has ended, a new day has come, but all you cared about at that moment was Kuroo, the taste of his lips, and the feel of his heartbeat against yours. Two hearts beating as one.
