[Okay, as per requested. This is happy 😭 /hj)

The wind swayed through the salty air, hitting your face with a gentle spray of the sea.

You smiled, this place was always your favorite. Yes. Your favorite.

The sea stretched for miles upon miles, and yet as soon as you stepped foot onto a boat...you felt safe. The waters weren't safe, of course, but with the love of your life, you couldn't help but love this way of living.

A gentle, but calloused hand graced along your waist, thumb moving in circles along the small of your said waist.

"Hi Rayleigh." You said with a small smile, your voice more sweet and sultry than usual.

"Hi, my love." He replied, and pulled you in gently, resting his head on the dip of your shoulder.

You couldn't help but break out into the smallest, sweetest smile. Your lips slowly lifted, just a hint of your teeth being shown, and your cheeks rounded, getting brighter by the second.

"I love it when you call me that." You murmured, turning around to wrap your arms around his bigger form.

His arms, in return, snaked around your lower back, looking down at you with eyes that were filled with compassion and truth.

Your smile began to widen, eyes slightly squished and teeth showing just a little bit more than before. Rayleigh raised a hand to brush the hair that was in your face. Huh. You hadn't noticed there was even hair near your face.

"Why?" It was a simple word, but how impactful it was when he did say it.

"Why? What do you mean...why?"

"I mean, why. Why do you love it? Why do you love me?'

"Silvers Rayleigh! I love you, because you're you. Your blonde hair, your devilishly handsome looks, your eyes, your smile. The way you talk to me, the way you touch me." You took a breath, and continued. "I love you for everything that you've ever done for me, stupid or not, bravely or not, whether it was to save my life, or not!"

Tears welled up in your eyes, "I love you, because you love me, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and just enjoy this simple relationship that doesn't cost me anything! Not my virginity, not my body, and definetly not my soul! I just get to see you, everyday, I get to cuddle you, and enjoy your company, and enjoy us."  Rayeligh had a surprised expression on his face.

"That. Is why i love you, Silvers Rayleigh. Because you are kind, and because you let me love you."

He wrapped his arms tightly around you, burying his face into the crook of your neck, his glasses falling onto the floor with a small clunk.

Wet...?

He was crying?!

Your arms tightly wrapped around him, letting him cry out his feelings.

After a bit, he finally managed to look you in the eye. "Thank you."

You looked at him, wiping the tears from his face. "Why?"

His eyes widened, "do you...seriously not know?"

You shook your head, "afraid I don't, I'm sorry."

"Thank you for being you. Thank you, for loving me. Thank you for your comfort, your arms, your smile. Every day that I wake up, I'm thankful that you're in my arms. I pray to the gods that you're the one thing that no one steals from me. You're my treasure. The love of my life, and I thank you for being willing to stay in it." He said, his cheek resting softly in your hand.

"There's no need to thank me, because...I love you. And that's all that matters."

"I love you too, Y/N."

.............................................

The waves crashed along the ship, waves spraying you in the face as you stood there, your face wrinkled with years of experience and wisdom.

A gentle, warm, but calloused hand graced along your waist, thumb moving in circles along the small of your said waist.

"Hi Rayleigh." You said with a small smile, your voice was now  quieter, yet still sultry.

"Hi, my love." He replied, and pulled you in gently, resting his cheek on the bone of your shoulder.

You broke out into the sweetest, youngest smile.

"I love it when you call me that." You murmured, turning around to wrap your arms around his bigger form.

"I know." He said, caressing your cheek with a free hand, the other resting on your lower back. "I know."

"I love you Rayleigh."
"I love you too, my love."
