Summary: He’s pretty sure her existence is evidence of heaven.

He was floating. He could feel nothing beneath him or above him, no solidity, no air, no wind. It was odd. Liberating. Weird as fuck while being ridiculously enjoyable. There was neither darkness nor light, just the awareness of existing and he revelled in it. Because really, how often did he get to just exist without actually being?

There was a weight on his hand, a softness that belied his existential floating-ness. It was soft and warm and welcoming, an anchor to the reality and he almost wanted to wish it away. But then a sound, soft and angelic breached the barrier and he came down from his high landing amongst softness and purity. The sound became louder, yet still soft, his awareness of reality kicking in and he blinked back into being.

Her face was above him and she was smiling down at him, breathtakingly beautiful. Her lips brushed his cheek and suddenly he was floating again.

He may not be religious but he’s pretty sure her existence is evidence of heaven.
