"Barry, where are you taking me?" Caitlin asked as Barry carried her bridal style. She had no idea where they were going and he had blindfolded her.
"You'll see, Cait, just sit tight and you will see before you know it," Barry replied.
A few minutes later, she felt him stop and put her down onto her feet then the blindfold fall to the ground. She let her eyes adjust and saw them in a clearing overlooking a forest. All she could see above her were the Friday night stars shining in the sky and the full moon, There was a cool breeze but nothing too cold. The cold never did really bother her.
Near the end of the overlook, there were blankets set out with a sleeping bag big enough for the two of them on top. In the centre of the clearing, there was a large campfire which was currently roaring. Beside it was a small basket.
"You said you always wanted to stay up all night to see the stars and the sunrise so I thought that I would surprise you," Barry explained, watching her reaction with a smile.
"I love you so much!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck and jumping off the ground so he was sort of hugging her in the air.
"I want you to have everything you want in life so I thought that you would like this," he replied softly, putting her down after a few moments.
"I love it and I love you," she smiled uncontrollably, pecking his lips before grabbing his hand and pulling him to the campfire.
"I brought smores so we can roast them," he stated, grabbing the basket and taking them out along with the skewers.
They cuddled up together and toasted the smores before eating them. Barry watched happily and lovingly as he saw his beautiful Cait enjoying her smores. It was such a simple actions but everything that she did amazed Barry. She was simply beautiful and breathtaking and there was no other way to describe it. To him, she was perfect and even though he knew that she wasn't he loved her anyway because he adored her flaws. He loved her even more for them. They were what made her unique and there was just something beautiful about them that he just could not place. He loved her ardently, unconditionally and irrevocably. There was nothing not to love.
Her beautiful face, her laugh, her breathtaking smile. Her soft, enchanting brown eyes, the way she bit down on her lower lip whenever she was nervous or something was bothering her. The cute way she wrinkled her nose in her sleep. Her beautiful body which she reserved for him and for him only. How kind and caring and loving she is. How intelligent and thoughtful she is.
There was nothing he did not or more accurately could not love. She was perfect for him, to him, and nothing will ever change the way she makes him feel.
The butterflies, the shivers, the way his heartbeat beat so much faster or skipped a beat for her whenever she came near or touched him or kissed him.
...
After finishing their smores, they both changed into some warm sleepwear. It was a cool night but they were going to be outside all night so they might get chilly. They both climbed into the sleeping bag together and cuddled up, creating extra heat for each other via each other's bodies. Caitlin was tucked under Barry's arm, her head lying on his chest and her his free hand on her waist keeping her close to him. Her hands were slowly sneaking under his shirt to find the place where she always placed them when they cuddled.
"So... what are we going to do until sunrise? It's only eleven PM and the sun will rise at five AM," she asked while biting on her lower lip. But not for her usual reasons.
"I don't know, just cuddle I..." he started but was interrupted by her lips crashing onto his passionately. He could feel her hands exploring further up his shirt and he couldn't help but groan at the contact of her cool fingers on his skin. It didn't take long for him to realize what she wanted. "Cait... Are you sure? Here?"
