One Nocturnal Son of a Gun

Persephone was laying on Josh's chest, her breathing soft and steady. Josh was brushing his hand through her long dark hair, humming softly like his grandmother used to do when he was upset. Hold him close, hum, and run her fingers through his hair. It had taken Josh forever to finally work up the nerve to tell Sephone how he felt, but when she smiled, it was worth it. Her brown eyes sparking bright with anger and overprotectiveness whenever someone made a transphobic remark towards him. Josh sighed, and planted a kiss on his girlfriend's forehead.

 Josh might be young, but he knew Sephone was his, and he was Sephone's. A song lyric from when he was younger ran through his head, as he ran a hand through her hair. 

I know I'm young, but if I had to pick her or the sun, I'd be, one nocturnal son of a gun

He hummed softly, laying back his head, and staring at the ceiling. 

Take a look at my girlfriend

Josh remembered his father singing this teasingly to his mother. 

She's the only one I've got

Josh smiled at the pleasant memories. Sephone lifted her head, resting her chin on his collarbone. 

"Josh?" she mumbled. He titled his head down to look at her. 

"Yeah, Seph?" 

"I love you. I didn't say it yet today." she said softly. Josh laughed quietly, tucking hair behind her ear. 

"It's seven a.m. Of course you haven't." 

Sephone smiled, and buried her face back in his chest. 

"I know I'm young, but if I had to pick you or the sun I'd be, one nocturnal son of a gun..." Josh sang softly, continuing to run his fingers through her hair.

Sephone laughed softly. "Take a look at my boyfriend." she said softly, gripping his shirt tighter. 

"You're the only one I got..."
