By the Goodness of Your Grace

"Ah! Cyrus!" Isa yelped through gasps of laughter.
Cyrus smiled in response, knowing karma would come back to bite him in the butt for jumping out from behind an open door in his (somewhat) successful attempt to scare Isa. Honestly, it was done a whim; something that Cyrus would never have considered doing on any given normal day. Today, however, was far from normal. The young vampire gave the place a once over, probably for the fifteen hundredth time, as the reality of it all still hadn't quite sunk it yet. The rooms were bare and the air was chilled in the emptiness but all the same it was home. It was more than home. It was their home.
Isa turned around in Cyrus's arms to face him and wrapped her own tenderly around his neck. God, there would never be a day where her stunning beauty never ceased to leave him speechless. "Happy to be home, are you?"
Cyrus grinned and leaned into Isa's lips as he took them with his own. It was astonishing how each kiss was like the first; the taste that was purely Isa was just as potent and tantalizing as it was then and every caress of their tongues had Cyrus's heart jumping out of his chest like always. Most times it all seemed too good to be true and Cyrus had to wonder who on earth decided he deserved someone so sweet and loving like Isa. The rest of the time he was simply too engrossed in her and being with her to care.
They broke away from the kiss slowly, like the parting of their lips proved to painful to do. Breaths intermingled and quick glances were exchanged before bashfully being diverted as they stood in each other's arms long after the end of the kiss. Hours must've passed but at that moment, time seemed irrelevant. If he could, Cyrus would rather stay in Isa's embrace than be anywhere else in the world.
Isa finally looked up and locked her striking emerald eyes with Cyrus, a cute smile lining her lips. "... Come on, Cy. Help me think of what to get for our wonderful home together."
