Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

"Why did you have to make it a choice?" Dayn smiled as he pulled back enough so that they could talk, but he kept his arms around Arryn to savor the moment. "My stomach is growling, so breakfast is a must. And I'm afraid we will have to go out into the world today, but that doesn't mean we can't find time to cuddle in our free time."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his neck. "I'm hungry too... but for some reason. .. I don't know, it's like every time we leave this house, something bad happens. I don't want something bad to happen."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn felt his heart ache as Arryn nuzzled against him. She was right in a way. Every time they walked out of the house it seemed like something happened to one of them. It had been that way since they had started out towards Rorich. Dayn wrapped his arms around Arryn and held her close. This wasn't the way Arryn was. She was free spirited and wild and loving and adventurous, not trembling and concerned. "How about we start with breakfast? We'll get our food and cuddle together while we eat. We won't deal with anything else until after we get done, okay?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and nodded, hugging him tight one last time before letting go and sitting up. "Can I borrow one of your shirts again?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Of course." Dayn smiled before reaching over to grab one of his shirts and a pair of pants from the dresser. He stood up and slid into his pants, giving Arryn time to get her own clothes on, before walking up behind her and hugging her as he laid his head against her neck. "Mine."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed and put her hands over his. "I'm fine with that, love." Arryn loved it when Dayn was being cute and playful like this, trying to cheer her up. He knew when she was upset, which she found wonderful, since half the time she didn't realize she was upset herself.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took Arryn's approval as an excuse to hug her tighter and kiss her neck. "Mine." Dayn smiled and kissed her neck again before taking her hand and walking into the kitchen. Breakfast was simply oatmeal and fruit. Simple, filling, and delicious. Dayn grabbed the bowls and walked back into the bedroom before climbing into bed and sitting back, looking to Arryn expectantly. "Nothing beats breakfast in bed, other than cuddling and breakfast in bed."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn climbed into bed next to him and leaned against him, taking her bowl. "I agree with that."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn leaned over and kissed Arryn's check before snuggling up against her as he pulled the covers up around them. He was determined to make Arryn feel as safe and loved as he could. He hated seeing her bothered like this, but it only made his resolve that much harder to make her feel special.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and nuzzled against him. She loved how concerned he was, but she didn't like that he had to be concerned. It was nice, that he worried over her, but she didn't want him worrying. However, she let him take care of her and cuddle her, deciding to let herself enjoy it.

 

[BookWyrm]

It didn't take long for breakfast to be devoured. After they were done Dayn stacked the bowls together and laid them on the dresser before wrapping his arms around, holding her tightly against him as he laid his head against her chest. "Mine." His tactic now was humor, and he hoped it would work.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed, wrapping her arms around him. "Mine."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn tried to hold his laugh in, though it finally escaped as he fell backwards, taking Arryn with him. They fell back onto the bed before Dayn leaned in and kissed Arryn on the lips. "These are mine." He kissed her cheeks. "So are these." He slowly kissed along her jaw to her ear and down to her neck. "These are too." Dayn leaned back up and smiled down at her. "All of you, for now and forever. Always." Dayn laid down and buried his face against Arryn's stomach before slowly starting to tickle at her sides.

 

[Dragongal]

"I kind of agreed to that when I married you." Arryn barely got the sentence out before Dayn started tickling her. She reflexively tried to push him off as she laughed.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn rolled with the push, but wrapped his arms around Arryn at the last second and brought her with him as he flopped onto his back. When he landed Dayn set back to work tickling Arryn, holding her as close as possible to avoid getting pushed, but also doing his best to avoid getting punched accidentally.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed helplessly, trying to grab his hands so he would stop and she could get a chance to breathe.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took the hint. He grabbed Arryn's hands and held them before leaning his head down and nuzzling against her neck. He quietly chuckled as Arryn caught her breath, his thumbs gently rubbing across the back of Arryn's hands as he held them tightly.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn caught her breath, then kissed Dayn's lips. She liked the feeling of his thumbs running over the backs of her hands. Once she pulled away she nuzzled against his neck, still smiling.

 

[BookWyrm]

"I love hearing you laugh." Dayn kissed Arryn's neck before laying onto his side and cupping her cheek with his hand. "Its almost as beautiful as your singing."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn blushed and buried her face against his neck, thoroughly embarrassed.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled as he laid a hand against the back of her head. "You have a beautiful singing voice Arryn. Its nothing to be ashamed of."

 

[Dragongal]

"Mmph." was all Arryn said in response, her face still pressed against his neck.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn knew what he could do to get her to move. Actually she'd end up melting into his arms, but he liked it that way. He pulled her hair to the side and gently started working his fingers on her neck. It wouldn't take long now...

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his neck a bit as she let her body relax against him, closing her eyes as she savored the feeling.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled mischievously. His plan had worked out nicely. Get Arryn to relax and then, the surprise. Dayn let Arryn roll onto her stomach before helping her out of her shirt so that he could massage her back properly. He gently pressed his hands against her back and started to work his thumbs in circles down her spine. "You, my love, deserve a chance to relax. So, I propose a few minutes of massage."
