The Upside Down (For Eluuna)

She laughed lightly.

“A little. It’s almost one in the morning. Do you want to sleep?”

 

She kissed him again, gentle with him before she reached below the bed, pulling on her clothing.

 

She curled up next to him, her head on his chest again.

“I’m so glad I know you, Warns,” she said sleepily.

 

She didn’t notice his smile, her head in the curve of his neck as she drifted off to sleep.

 

(Zoop?)

 

She was still fast asleep the next morning, her back pressed against his chest.

 

She was in a deep sleep, her hand in his. She murmured sleepily, turning to face him in her sleep.

 

She was still fast asleep, her head tilted in sleep. Her hair was messy from the events of the night before, but her temple rested against his collarbone, and her fingers were curled in his shirt. Her breathing was slow and steady, and her body was warm and comforting.

 

Her stubborn brow was relaxed and her lips were slightly pursed, but as he watched, she snuggled up closer to him. Her nose brushed his neck, and she embraced him almost lovingly, her arm resting on his side.

 

Her eyes fluttered open a few minutes later and she frowned, looking over at him.
