I love you

                                    

                                          
Gal sniffles fanning herself as she was fighting a battle within her mind. She couldn't believe the words echoing in her head and yet her sweet Lily had said those forbidden words. She was in disbelief, surely someone as beautiful as Lily couldn't love a monster like her. She clears her throat, needing confirmation, "yo-you love me?" Her voice raspy and heavy with emotions. 
Lily takes a deep breath, feeling her heart wanting to leap out of her chest and into Gal's hands. She beams a genuine smile that only Gal can create, a smile filled with true happiness, "I do, crushingly so. I know I have only known you for a short time but you've shown me so much. Our present days are filled with heart-throbbing thrills and exciting adventures. But I am more than confident that when it all slows down, I know I can sit in comfortable silence with you, listen to all the things that go on in that brilliant head of yours, live through all the anticipated side pains of your adorable goofy humor, and survive the days you steal my breathes and the remaining pieces of my heart," she gushes taking a step forward. 
A relieving breath stirs up the tears, "Gal, you've become so vital to me, such a strong and unwavering pillar that weathered the storms I casted. You taught me how to enjoy all that life has to offer and help pull me out of the dark. The life I was given reflected a chess board that had been strategically placed to lose. I was making moves to survive for as long as I can. Then you walked into my life, stirred up hell and changed my perspective. You made me appreciate the things I have and brought joy back into my life. I came to a point where the weight is slowly lifting. I am strong enough to carry it. I actually believe that I can do this. That I am enough. That I can finally breathe. That I am loved," she pauses with a smile filled with affection. Her eyes locks with the beauty that reflected her own heart. 
"I don't have to question it because I know you love me. You didn't have to say it because I knew. You've shown it in silence. It wasn't pressing and commanding but it was there. It seeped into my bones unknowingly like a barrier so comforting and safe. I feel safe with you. I feel powerful with you. I feel unstoppable with you. But I am awfully petrified because I've lost two important pieces of my life and the thought of losing the Queen, losing you, terrifies me," Lily quivers as her cheeks glaze over with tears. "I am so in love with you Gal and you're smiling because you know," she giggles.
The ethereal Goddess whimpers happily, closing the distance. Her world silenced as her lips were stolen. Unlike her first kiss, it was raw and passionate. It was heavenly and by far her most favorite of all. It was a kiss that held love and surety. "God do I love you. I do Lily. Terribly in love with you. You have my heart," she chants over and over again as she held Lily with everything she had. 
Lily brushes her nose against the woman who has her heart until she was sent to heaven in a split second. She hums happily her lips curling into a sappy grin that pulled her heart strings once more. 
Throats clear invading their intimate bubble before Gal retracts herself slightly. Their gaze heavy with their love before they faced the storm together. 
Gal's father was on his feet with a knowing look of contentment and amusement. He steps forward holding Lily's ring in the palm of his hand, "I knew from the second I met you. You both aren't subtle about it, especially my daughter. I have never seen her this happy in the entirety of her life. This," he pauses lifting the ring, "is pretty but I didn't need to fill any voids. You're truly something amazing and I've grown very fawn of you in less than a day. I have no worries except that my daughter better treat you right," he snickers placing the ring in Lily's hand. 
Gal hmph playfully before embracing her father, "I love you daddy. Oh I love you," she simpers. 
"I love you too my baby girl," Noah expresses sniffling from his fallen tears.
