This one shot is actually a make up story for not updating Silver Linings for some while. Thus I want to apologize to the readers. But I will try to update Silver Linings within this week. So, here's the one shot. Enjoy.

*Note: Btw, sorry for the un-paragraphed post before. I repost my writing via mobile device, make sure to give enough space between the paragraphs, but it ended the same. I just had the time to fix it.

The soft breathing on the crook of his neck soothe him. The warmth emitted from their pressed bodies spread even further than merely physical contact. The one arm encirling his abdomen inspire him to protect what he loved the most, whom he loved the most.

That was one of the time when he felt content. Gone was his long tiring day of drawing an idea, or sometimes more. Gone was his throbbing head when his plan had not gone the way he wanted it to be. There were only him and her in that dark room. Him and her was what mattered the most at that very time. Him and her and their shared little big happiness.

He felt the warm body of his beloved one stirred as he mindlessly caressing her spine up and down.

"Oppa, you're awaken?" she asked with a hoarse groggy voice that he found adorable. He felt the weight on his abdomen lifted when she pulled her hand to rub her sleepy eye.

He smiled small smile. His one hand still caressed her back, now in a more soothing motion. "Go back to sleep, Bunny. It's still dark."

He felt her few steady breathings before she huffed, pushing her body off of him. She leaned on her one arm, while keeping the other one on his waist. The blanket covered their body slid down a little, showing her white shoulder illuminated by the little light from outside the window coming from a slit between gordyns.

"You sure you're okay? It's so uncharacteristically of you to be awaken in the middle of the night. You're always the heavy sleeper, Oppa," she reasoned out her worry.

"Yes, I am," he smiled to reassure her. He waited for some moments before continuing, "I was just reflecting."

"About?"

"About how fortunate I am." He saw her raised one eyebrow in question. He smiled again as he lifted his hand, reached out to smoother her eyebrow. Her natural cuteness had never failed to make his heart turned jelly although he never verbally admitted. Instead, he often covered it up with the matched cuteness.

"Fortunate to have this. You. Us," he explained to the unverbal question she shot.

She let out a chuckle. "You should be, Oppa. It's not every day you find a pocket size sweetheart," she joked.

"That is true somehow. Although there are times when I feel like swatting this pocket size sweetheart when she turns annoyingly whinny," he grinned.

"Oppa!" She protested, mock hitting him on his chest.

He laughed heartily while pulling her in for a hug. She followed the pulling, letting herself to fall on top of him with a soft squeak when flesh met flesh. She positioned herself in his embrace, finding her favorite crook on his neck.

She breathed him in before saying, "I also feel fortunate to have this, Oppa. You, I, us, together."

He pulled her in even tighter, squeezing their bodies. He felt her doing the same around his sides. He instinctively kissed her crown, which was responded by casual "I love you" from Sunny.

He pushed her back a bit, earning a confused stare from her. Thus he said with a smile, "Something that important should be told while looking into eyes, Bunny."

She groaned. It amused him how she could say that three words for mocking or teasing or joking around, but when it came down to serious business like that very moment, she would curl fingers and go all pink cheeks. He would never miss that chance to make her say that three words properly though.

"So, what do you want to say?" Asked him, while touching her cheek, drawing circle with his thumb across it.

She huffed heavily. "Iloveyou."

He laughed, "We've been dating for three years yet you are still not able to say that sentence easily?"

"I can! You heard me alright before," she protested.

"But you were not looking at me," he argued. "You know what, Bunny, I'll be gladly teaching you how to say it in a fun, less embarasing way. For the hundredths time."

He pushed her back while he was rolling over, so now he was on top of her. His legs was searching for a comfortable position, his left leg was on the outer side of her right leg, while his right leg was in between hers. He supported his entire upper body with his folded left arms so not to crush her. Meanwhile, the other hand rested on her cheek.

"This is how you should do it," he said while closing in. He pressed their lips together, slowly moving, gently tugging. He felt her responding the same way, returning the kiss in the same favor.

He released her lips for a very short moment. Short enough to say "I" "Love" "You" in between tugs of lips before going all the way into her hot wet cave, tongue exploring, teeth asaulting, battling each other until both were left breathless.

He pushed himself up, smiled at her and she smiled back at him before diving back down to place a final peck on her lips. "U get the trick?"

"I don't know. I think I'll still need you to teach me," she said teasingly.

When she saw me frown, she added, "I was only joking, Oppa. But as usual, after you did that I somehow find it easier to say the three words. So," she brought up her two hands to his cheeks, looking straight into his eyes and said tenderly, "I love you."

He smiled widely. He was elated to hear her saying the three powerful words that he dipped down to shower her left cheek, forehead, right cheek, chin, tip of her nose with kisses, and finally left a lingering kiss on her lips.

He rolled his body once more, pulling her with him to lay on their sides without breaking the embrace, back to caressing her back. There he felt how cold her shoulders and feet were, so he pulled the blanket to cover them better, resting his one leg on hers, hugging tightly in hope to spread the warmth faster through their bare bodies.

Having her, having each other was what made him feel grateful in life. He knew, no matter how tiring it was for him to sail the tides, he would always have an island to rest his worn out body. An island to soothe his mind while he planned another journey on the ocean. An island to let him recharge his energy. She was his home.
