"Not sure what the hells a dream anymore... But... " Maybe this was the dream? But no, Wufei was right. This all felt much too real to be just a dream. Wufei was warm and solid in his arms. And there was slight pain too, he wasn't entirely comfortable, he was sat on his braid and it was pulling at his scalp. Dreams didn't hurt. Sometimes he had horrible, soul crushing night terrors... But he'd never felt physical pain within them. Unless he'd hurt himself outside of the dream.

You didn't feel actual pain in a dream. So that tug at his scalp was something Duo welcomed in a strange way. It kept him grounded, reminding him that this was all real and that Wufei was really there in his arms. A dream come true.

Eyes still closed, Duo's smile widened as he turned his head a bit more to press a warm kiss just behind Wufei's jaw. "Always loved you, Wu. Always." The words came so easily along with that warm feeling within his chest, heart aching and full of so many emotions for the man in his arms. Love, happiness and pride. A self-assured feeling of calm and peace that Duo had never known before, knowing that those feelings were all returned.
