We lay there, reveling in our contentment - the happiest we've been in days. V pulls me closer, so my head is resting on her chest moving up and down with every breath she takes. She's got her fingers in my hair and her other hand is intertwined in mine. Somedays I can't decide what I love more; the sex or the moments after it in all its softness. It's unexpected but we usually can ever keep our hands off each other. Even on days we fight, we always end up cuddling each other at night, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It feels like we can never be close enough.
We talk about our days apart and bring each other up to speed as the sun transforms from its warm afternoon hues, to candy floss clouds and baby pink skies. I'd give up anything for moments like this to last forever.
V's not always vocal about her job. Mainly cause of its complexity and the fact that recently she's felt incredibly unhappy doing what she's doing - hence the nightmares. I try to not interfere in her choices but I so wish she wasn't in such a dangerous line of work. Surprisingly today though, I find that she's a lot more shaken up over the latest kill, even revealing a bruise from a lampshade being swung at her by the target on the side of her arm. It takes everything in me to not make a scene about this, the thought of losing Villanelle physically hurts my heart. She seems to read my mind and realize that I'm worried and angry and she says "don't worry, I'm okay. I'm here now" smiling at me playfully. "I can't imagine losing you, I wish you don't have to do this", I say. She turns over so she's facing me and interlaces our fingers together again, stroking my cheek with her other hand and looking deep into my eyes. "I don't want to lose you either" she says. And we both lay there looking deep into each other's eyes processing both the naivety of our relationship and the tenderness of this moment. I then lean over and give her a soft kiss. "I wish you could just quit and stay home with me", I say. This time she leans over and kisses me, her lips soft against mine. Conveying all her emotion words can't describe. I pull away and move in closer so our foreheads lean against each other and we stay there.
A few minutes later V asks me what I want to do today. I respond with an "anything as long as I'm with you" knowing full well that that makes her flutter. "Tv dinner?" She asks. Our favourite form of date night, staying in and watching movies while eating. "Yes please!" I say, planting one last kiss on her lips and getting out of bed to put some clothes on feeling beyond excited for date night.

I'm sorry I took so long to update. I don't really know where this story is going, I'm just pulling from personal experiences and last relationships haha. This also won't have a lot to do with the technicalities of Villanelle's job (The Twelve, etc) it's more for you to envision what it would be like to date her! <3
Let me know if I should update <3
