She rewarded him with a small chuckle as he joked. "Of course, how could I forget?" She teased, leaning into his kiss. She paused for a little tine after he spoke to her, watching him toy with her braid. She closed her eyes and gave a small sigh. "It's okay. Since my little brother." She shrugged. "I couldn't go days without seeing him, I had to."

He smiled hearing her small chuckle, as it was like music to his ears hearing it. He watched her for a moment while continuing to play with her braid before finally settling his head done softly on top of hers. As she went to speak again he listened to her and stayed quiet for a moment, as he was putting the puzzles pieces together that the prince who died was her brother.. He sometimes forgot she was the princess so it sometimes confused him with certain things. "I know how that feels now... It's because you care a lot about them and they brighten up your world.. So I'm glad I could bring that light back to you" She said softly while nuzzling his head down beside hers

"Trust me, I am too." She added gratefully, gently stroking his hair a bit more and he sank down closer to her. "I think I might be in love with you." Mercy whispered softly, barely audible. She gently moved her hand down to run her thumb across his cheek, opening her eyes to watch him.

He hummed softly as her hands ran through his hair, he had missed that feeling so much. When she spoke, or at least he thought she spoke since he barely heard anything, he lifted his head up slightly and looked at her "What was that baby?" He whispered to her while leaning his head into her hand that was now on his cheek

She bit her lip as she debated saying it again. In the end, she decided to repeat it. "I think I might be in love with you, Kennedy." She whispered, holding his gaze.

He watched her with a soft gaze before making eye contact. At her words he was silent for a minute before finally smiling "You have no idea, how long I've been waiting to hear you say that" He whispered back to her as he leaned forward and kissed her slowly and passionately on the lips. After a moment he pulled back "I think... No.. I know, I'm in love with you Mercy" He whispered softly still with a smile

She smiled in a bit if relief as he whispered to her, pushing herself up into the kiss. When he pulled back, she laid her forehead against his, grinning at his words. "And you have no idea how happy that makes me." She whispered, pulling him into a kiss and gently pushing him back onto his back, settling over him happily.

He leaned his forehead slightly against hers, keeping their gazes locked. He smiled brightly at her whispers before happly leaning into the kiss before laying back on the bed as she pushed him back. He gently placed his hands on her waist, pulling her closer to him as he brought his head up to deepen the kiss

She pulled back as she started to run out if breath, breathing a bit heavily when she slowly moved to kiss his neck. She went over the faint outlines of her previous hickies, giving him small, gentle kisses.

When she pulled back he smiled at him as his breathing was also heaving, when she went back down he could feel her warm breath heavy againsth is skin, which sent a shiver down his spin. He watch her for a moment before stretching his neck out to let her roam around wherever she pleased as he let small groans escaped from his throat
