Hope smiled. She couldn't imagine a day without him. The way he made her feel was something so incredible.

Lighter pulled away after a moment, humming happily. “Now I’m serious. No more kisses for now.”

"Fine." Hope stuck her bottom lip out.

He laughed softly. “One more then.” He kissed her cheek. “Let’s go to the park.”

"Okay, yay!" Hope grabbed his hand and smiled at him.

He smiled warmly, watching her with loving eyes. She was too cute.

Hope got a huge temptation. "Babe, can I become a koala? My legs are tired." She asked, giving him puppy dog eyes.

Lighter chuckled. “Of course you can.” He paused, bending down slightly to help her with the height difference.

Hope climbed on to his back. Once she was situated, she kissed his cheek. "Yay!" She giggled softly.

He laughed softly, holding her up by placing his hands under her thighs. “Don’t fall off, ok love?”

"Okay, I promise I won't." Hope giggled more. She kissed up his jaw.

He hummed happily, tilting his head a little. “I love you Hope.”

"I love you Lighter." She smiled, resting her head on his shoulder.

He leaned his head against hers, checking both ways before crossing the street. He might be a delinquent, but he was a safe one. “You know, my real name is Marcus.”

"Oh really? Are you okay with me calling you that?" Hope asked.

“Of course.” He shifted her up a little, smiling.

"Okay, then let me revise what I said. I love you Marcus." Hope smiled, kissing his cheek.

He laughed. “You’re the first person in a long time to call me that.”

"Is that a good or a bad thing?" Hope asked, taking in the fresh air.

“I think it’s a good thing.” He replied, pausing once he found himself next to the playground set. He marveled at how small it was. Had it been that long since he had last visited? He felt giant and old.

Hope smiled. She eyed the swings. She hadn't been to the park since the summer when her cousins were visiting.

“Would you like down?” He asked, trying to look upwards at her.

"Yes please." Hope giggled.

He chuckled, gently letting her down. He pulled her into a tight, playful hug. “I never said I’d let you go though.” He teased.

Hope blushed. "Swings. But being in your arms. The debates!"

He chuckled softly. “Swings sound fun.” He planted a few kisses on her cheek and neck.

Hope smiled and leaned up. "Why are you so tall!"

He laughed. “Am I that tall?” He cooed, leaning down to be closer to her face.

"Yes." Hope pouted and tried to walk away.

Lighter pulled her into his chest, trapping her so she couldn’t walk away. “Aww dont leave.” He teased, kissing the top of her head. “You’re really cute when you’re short though.”
