Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn pulled back. "Dayn!" She smiled in complete astonishment, not sure how to react. "I was looking for warmth and I know you liked that feeling!"

 

[BookWyrm]

At least she didn't smack him this time, but Dayn's ears still laid back as he lowered his head. He really didn't know what to say to her at the moment. He loved playing with her in those ways, but sometimes he worried that she got upset by his sometimes goofy antics.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn sighed, scratching behind his ears. "Just don't do it again."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn leaned forward and laid his forehead gently against Arryn's neck. <Sorry.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and kissed his cheek. "I hate hearing you apologize. Just don't do it again and I'm happy."

 

[BookWyrm]

<I can do that.> Dayn rubbed his head against Arryn's neck to kind of make up for it. <But, you didn't like it any?>

 

[Dragongal]

"Not really, no. What would make you think I would?"

 

[BookWyrm]

<Nothing I guess. I had just hoped to maybe get a laugh.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn chuckled and curled up against him, nuzzling against his neck. "Sorry to disappoint, love."

 

[BookWyrm]

<Its okay. I know other things that you enjoy anyway.> Dayn bunched up around Arryn and fluffed out his coat.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and hugged him around his neck, staying silent for a few moments. "I love you, Dayn."

 

[BookWyrm]

<I love you too, Arryn.> Dayn gently moved his paws around her and laid them against her back as he licked her neck.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his neck in reply, not wanting to break the silence. She liked this a lot. Being warm and safe with Dayn, him holding her and curled up around her, sure he was fluffier but he was her Dayn. Looking back on how things had happened, had she done something stupid like pushed him away, she could have lost this. And that thought alone was terrifying. But she hadn't, and now they were married and she felt safe, which she hadn't felt for years before she'd met him, warm and happy, with nothing to ask for in life.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn purred contently as Arryn nuzzled against him. When he thought about it, Dayn realized that he was truly happy. He loved Arryn unconditionally, and that love was given back to him with the same reckless abandon. They trusted each other fully and could be completely open. Dayn also had to factor in the fact that he was Moon-Born now. Arryn was the only woman he knew that would love nothing more than to cuddle up with her husband, whether he was a wolf or a man, and spend the evening together like that. He gently pulled Arryn closer against him as he thought about this, perhaps unconsciously wanting to have her closer because of it.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and gently reached around, taking his paw in her hands and holding it to her chest, right above her heart. She nuzzled against him. "Is tú mo chroí , agus an chúis amháin beats sé." Since he wouldn't understand, after a few moments, she translated. The phrase was a form of referencing the heart and his effects on it in the metaphorical fashion and physical. "You are my heart, and the only reason it beats."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's ears laid flush against his head, his icy blue eyes seeming to melt as a few stray tears slid down his muzzle before he rubbed against Arryn's cheek. Dayn didn't have the words to reply to such love, so he replied in the next best fashion and tucked his head over her shoulder and held her tightly against him. <Always?> This time his promise came as a question. He wanted to be that for her, but he also wanted her to want that of him.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled at his question. She could tell he was crying, which made the moment all the more intimate. She quietly replied, "Yes. Always and forever."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn held Arryn tightly against his chest, keeping his one paw over her heart as he focused on the steady rhythm. There was no need for words at the moment, the silence spoke volumes above anything he could say. Dayn purred quietly as he licked and rubbed against Arryn's face and neck.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn let him love on her, her thumb rubbing across his paw. After a bit, she looked down at his paw and said with a smile, "You know love, you wear your scars very well."

 

[BookWyrm]

<I learned from the best.> Dayn licked Arryn's cheek before nuzzling against her neck. <I didn't say anything at the time, but I thought you looked beautiful in short sleeves when you wore them last.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn blushed a bit. "Really?" Arryn buried her face in his fur, hiding her blush and embarrassed grin. "I guess I'll try wearing them more, then."

 

[BookWyrm]

<Arryn, are you hiding a blush?> Dayn curled his tail around to tickle her back. <You know I think you are adorable when you blush.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn's blush only deepened and her smile grew as she reached back and swatted at his tail. "And you know i don't like it when you do that."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took the advantage and pulled back before pushing Arryn over gently so that he could rub and lick all over her face, neck, chest, and stomach, his tail wagging playfully all throughout his mock mauling.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed through the whole thing, trying to keep her shirt down so it would tickle less. Finally she just hugged him around his neck and refused to let go.
