You Belong To Me

76. William is Will

My love for you is immense and knows no bounds,
But I fear my circumstances reveal my true identity

The first morning of his birthday dawned with a gentle warmth that filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. As Aru slowly opened her eyes, the first thing that greeted her vision was the sight of Will, nestled against her, his head resting on her chest as he slept peacefully. She couldn't help but smile at the sight, feeling a surge of affection wash over her.

"Look at this bunny, always clingy to me," she murmured affectionately, her fingers gently combing through his hair. With a tender touch, she moved his hands to their rightful place, savoring the moment before she reluctantly extricated herself from his embrace.

After a long, refreshing shower, Aru emerged from the bathroom, feeling rejuvenated. She selected a dress from her wardrobe, slipping it on with care before making her way back to the bedroom where Will still lay, lost in dreams. A few droplets of water from her hair cascaded onto his face, causing him to stir slightly before blinking awake.

His eyes met hers, and she saw the love reflected in their depths, a warmth that made her heart skip a beat. She smiled softly at him, her affection for him evident in every glance, every touch.

"Good morning, Aru," he greeted her with a sleepy smile as he stretched languidly.

"Happy Birthday, Will," she replied, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to his forehead before enveloping him in a tight hug.

As he returned the embrace, his mind buzzed with thoughts of the day ahead. Today was the day he had resolved to tell her everything, to lay bare his soul and reveal the depths of his heart. The weight of the secret he had been carrying felt heavier than ever, but he knew that it was time to unburden himself, to trust in the strength of their bond.

"Today, I have to tell her everything," Will resolved silently, steeling himself for the conversation that lay ahead.

"Will, go freshen up. I'll come back soon with breakfast," Aru said, her voice warm with affection as she placed a tender kiss on his nose before slipping out of the room.

Left alone with his thoughts, Will felt a sense of anticipation building within him. He knew that the conversation he was about to have would change everything, but he also knew that it was necessary for their relationship to move forward.

"After breakfast, I'll tell her everything. Aru, today you'll get your Will back," he vowed silently, determination shining in his eyes as he made his way to the bathroom to prepare for the day ahead.

Meanwhile, Aru bustled about the kitchen, preparing a delicious spread of his favorite foods. She couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement bubbling within her as she imagined the look of delight on his face when he saw what she had prepared.

"Will, breakfast is ready!" she called out as she returned to the bedroom, a tray laden with steaming dishes balanced carefully in her hands.

His eyes widened in surprise as he took in the sight before him, the tantalizing aroma of pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit filling the air. He couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards Aru for her thoughtfulness, for the way she always seemed to know exactly what he needed.

"Whoa," he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with delight as he surveyed the feast before him. "This looks amazing, Aru. Thank you."

"Are you gawking at food, or did you come here to eat something?" she chuckled, a playful glint in her eyes as she teased him.

"Did you make this, Aru?" he inquired, settling himself comfortably on the plush couch, anticipation evident in his voice.

"Yeah, and you have to finish everything," she replied with a smile, placing a plate in front of him filled with delicious homemade dishes.
