Hazel smiled staring at Cyrus's sleeping face. She never thought there will be a day she will wake up and instead of feeling upset after seeing him she would rather feel happy. Not only has he changed but she has changed as well. She leaned her face closer to his softly removing his hair from his forehead and revealing his scar.

It wasn't like Cyrus doesn't get nightmares anymore but as compared to his past he rarely gets them. He has been visiting the psychiatrist and taking his medicines regularly as well. She noticed his forehead knitted and it was obvious he wasn't relaxed in his sleep instead he looked restless.

She softly caressed his forehead with her fingers and slowly his frown got disappeared. She smiled but soon she froze when he opened his eyes. Their eyes met making him raise his eyebrows finding her face so close to his. His heart thumped slowly as a contented sigh escaped his lips after seeing the view in front of his eyes.

This is what he was craving for the past months. To see her beautiful eyes first thing in the morning. And the uncomfortable feeling on his chest that he was having in his sleep loosened up even more when he witnessed the softness in her eyes for him. There was nothing but warmth in her gaze.

"Good morning, honey." He smiled staring at her as her half body was leaning towards him keeping her face close to his.

"Morning, my love." Her stomach flipped upside down feeling a wave of butterflies hearing the endearment. Just when she was getting used to his sweetheart he threw another endearment at her. How many names is he gonna call her with?

"Bad dream." She said softly making him give her a small smile.

"Not that bad." He said staring into her shiny emerald stones.

"What were you doing?" She smiled sheepishly slightly moving her head from side to side.

"Staring at my handsome man." She smiled ready for him to throw her his usual proud smirk or his narcissistic comment but instead her eyes slightly widened when she watched him shyly blinking his eyes like he was speechless at her words.

Not just that God forbid! He blushed! Cyrus Sylvester blushed. His ears and cheeks turned slightly red as he looked away from her. She gaped at him before bursting out laughing making him close his eyes. Dammit! he tried. So damn hard to not get affected by her words but his heart betrayed him.

"You blushed haha!" She said laughing while throwing her head down. Her shoulders trembled at how hard she was laughing.

"Shut up woman! I didn't fucking blush!" He exclaimed turning his head away from her. Hazel finally stopped laughing before leaning her face closer to his.

She softly held his cheek turning his face to turn to her. She caressed his cheek with her small fingers giving him her sweetest smile.

"I love seeing you blushing on my words you know why?" She mumbled making him stare deeply into her eyes.

"Because it shows how much you love me. It shows that what your lips say, your heart feels the same." A small smile once again embraced his lips as he gazed into her warm eyes.

"Am I really that handsome in your eyes? I mean even after this--" She placed her index finger over his lips shaking her head.

"I think I need to repeat what I once said because you seem to have forgotten it." She said tracing her finger over his scar making him close his eyes for a moment.

"To me, this scar makes you more beautiful. You were handsome, you are handsome. And in my eyes, you will always stay handsome. Beautiful." He flickered feeling a wave of emotions hitting him. No one has ever said such soothing yet comforting words to him before.

"What about these?" He said pointing at his body.

"These tattoos. Aren't they scary? Doesn't they scare you?" She chuckled shaking her head.

"You are scary I wouldn't lie. But You don't scare me anymore. When I decided to accept you, I didn't only accept you but I accepted your every perfection, your every imperfection. I have accepted you Cyrus with your everything. So the answer to your question is no. Nothing about you scares me anymore." Saying that she brushed her nose against his making him take a deep breath. This girl knows how to fuel the madness he already has inside him for her.

"But yeah you absolutely don't look scary." She paused smiling teasingly.

"When you blush." His smile instantly snatched away as he pulled a blank face making her laugh once again.

Shooting her a cold look he removed the blanket throwing it over her laughing face and making her fall on the bed. He almost ran towards the bathroom looking beyond annoyed hearing her teasing laugh.

But as soon as he entered the bathroom he chuckled shaking his head. Standing in front of the mirror he for the first time didn't try to convince his demons that he was perfect. That he has no imperfection. He smiled touching his scar. Wholeheartedly embracing his imperfection.

For me, this scar makes you more beautiful.

Smiling like an idiot he washed his face before freshening up. Hazel also changed her clothes taking a shower in the other room. She made breakfast and chuckled when he came down.

His two days' leave turned into four days as he wasn't able to get enough of her and decided to stay with her. Last night they didn't do anything instead spent the whole night staring at the beautiful moonlight with Hazel talking to him and he listened to her keenly. Even though he didn't talk much but he was still overjoyed cuddling her in his arms while listening to her blabbering.

After talking her heart out she fell asleep in his arms and he brought them back into the room and that's how his last day of leave ended. He already got several calls from Creed who literally begged him to come back as the work was piling up.

He narrowed his eyes at her as he knew why she was chuckling. Grabbing her arm he made her sit on the chair before trapping her in his arms leaning his face closer to hers.
