Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn shuddered a bit as Dayn rubbed behind her ears. When they finally pulled apart, she nuzzled against his cheek, then his neck, slowly running her fingers through his hair, quite content. "Your kisses are fantastic."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn ran his fingers up and down the sides of Arryn's neck and up behind her ears lazily as he enjoyed the continued feeling of her playing in his hair. "You are not bad yourself. I find myself slightly intoxicated from kissing you actually."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled, shivering lightly as he traced along her skin. She moved a bit and kissed him again, gently, but still with passion, before pulling away. "How intoxicated are you now?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Mm, not drunk enough to quit yet." Dayn kissed Arryn again, savoring the slow, gentle contact of their lips.

 

[Dragongal]

"Careful, you might be hungover in the morning." Arryn continued to kiss him slowly, finding herself feeling almost intoxicated from the contact too. "Not tht we have to be anywhere."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Good. Lets get drunk." Dayn kissed Arryn again before laughing quietly. He gently nuzzled up against her before saying, "I love you Arryn."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled are kissed his cheek. "I love you too, Dayn."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn held Arryn tight as he buried his face against her neck. "I don't know where I'd be without you, my love."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against him and lightly kissed the top of his head. "Not with me, and that's the only part that would matter."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled before kissing Arryn's cheek. He readjusted himself in bed so that Arryn could snuggle up against him. He knew she liked being able to lay against him. As they snuggled together Dayn slowly ran his fingers up and down Arryn's back as he nuzzled against her cheek.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn promptly adjusted her position so she could put her head under his chin, shivering lightly as he traced over her back. This was perfection, and she didn't want to sleep in case she'd miss any of it.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn wasn't really tired as much as he just wanted closeness with Arryn. To be somewhere comfy and cuddle with his wife. "Arryn," Dayn finally broke the comfortable silence. "I don't want to ruin the moment, but I wanted to ask you something. Do you think we should take the offensive this time? I mean, us; me, you, Matthias, Kalie, Theodas, anyone we can get to help, join in and take the fight to these people that are after you and me."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn opened her eyes and shifted, propping herself up on one elbow. "Well, love.... I don't know. I would say yes, but there's so many leads to follow to find who's after me. And who knows... maybe they think I died from that arrow.... I need to follow the list, find out things." Arryn paused, looking at Dayn with obvious concern. "Dayn... has this been bothering you? Why were you thinking about it?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked at Arryn for a few moments as he tried to find his words. Finally after stumbling over himself he sighed, his chin sinking against his chest. "Yes.", he said as he looked away from Arryn. "Yes it has been bothering me pretty steadily for a while now." He felt ashamed to have been keeping this hidden for so long. But...the last thing he wanted was Arryn to worry about him.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked at him for a few moments, then reached out and brushed his hair back before taking his chin and making him face her. She smiled before pulling him close protectively and kissed his forehead. Mine. She didn't want him to worry or have anything bothering him. But she knew that he would worry anyway. Quietly, she said, "Well, don't let it bother you much more. We'll figure that out, okay? But not at this moment. Right now, it's just you and me. There's no world outside this house, remember? You're mine, I'm yours. Right now, that's all there is, okay?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had watched Arryn for the few moments between his last word and her reaching out to brush his hair away from his face. When she took his chin he relented, letting her move his head as he stared into her eyes. The depth behind those emerald flecked grey pools astounded him every time he took a moment to gaze into them. And that smile....gods he loved to see it. As Arryn pulled him close he closed his eyes, letting the feeling of her love overtake him. He was vulnerable now, his guard lowered completely, but he felt safe in her arms. "Okay.", Dayn said quietly. He leaned his head forward into Arryn's embrace, forgetting the world and everything outside of the four walls of their home. His arms slowly found their way around to embrace Arryn, though his hold was loose. "Okay."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled, happy to see Dayn relenting to her care. She lightly nuzzled against his cheek before kissing it. "I love you, Dayn. Nothing's ever going to change that, and nothing will ever come between us. Everything will always work out alright in the end. I promise." Even if that meant their end, everything would be okay. She had been worried that he'd go to Kara once their time came, but having been assured of eternity with him, it seemed nothing could truly hurt her, not in her soul. At the moment though, she was simply happy to see Dayn relaxed and not worried over what could potentially come - or maybe not. Right now, it was just them, and she wanted to make sure he was alright, healthy and happy and close to her.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn relaxed back into the bed as well as into Arryn's arms. He was still trying to get used to being completely vulnerable to her. He felt such a drive to care for her and love on her that he tended to forget about himself until moments like this, and even then he felt bad for needing the attention. It made him want to apologize. He felt like he was being too needy. "Arryn, I....I mean....I'm not trying to be...."

 

[Dragongal]

"Shh, mo chroi. It's alright. Just let me take care of you right now. Please. I honestly cherish the moments you allow me to care for you like this." Arryn kissed his cheek, then smiled and began slowly brushing her fingers through his hair, before very quietly starting to sing. He'd said that he liked hearing her sing and that she ought to sing more... now seemed a good time. The song was in Northern, a simple little love song comparing love to all kinds of metaphors of nature, hurricanes, flowers, the sky, the stars. It was simple, soft, and sweet.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shut his mouth and nodded to Arryn, a shy smile on his face. It felt good, if he was being honest with himself. He didn't know why he was so hard on himself for letting her love and care for him like this. Dayn closed his eyes again and took a deep breath as Arryn started to brush through his hair. The corners of his mouth turned up when he heard Arryn's voice pick up into song. As if some unknown magic came over him Dayn completely relaxed, melting in Arryn's embrace as his soul listened to the quiet whispers that his wife's called out. Somewhere they connected, and as they communed together Dayn felt a wave of emotion wash over him like he had never felt before. He couldn't find the sweet nothings to speak to his wife. She had rent his armor and left his beating heart before her, waiting for the touch of her hand.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled, knowing that Dayn was finally completely relaxed. He deserved it well, the chance to be fully open and vulnerable. This wasn't time that she was going to waste, he rarely allowed himself this luxury, which saddened her to a degree. She closed her eyes, still quietly singing and playing with his hair. After a few moments she opened them again and slowly kissed him, just lightly, before pulling him close again. "I love you. And I always will. And everything will be okay. I promise."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn broke out in goosebumps when Arryn kissed him. His hand slowly, lightly, caressed her neck as she pulled him close to her, his head coming to rest against her shoulder. He responded to her touch by wrapping her in his arms, though he felt light as a feather, weak against her. It felt good. "I love you too. Always." Dayn melted into her arms again. "Hold me, please?" For once Dayn didn't feel foolish to ask this. He felt safe with her, and he knew this was a moment for their love, their bond, to grow.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit and wrapped her arms around him, holding him close. She took a moment to adjust the blankets to ensure that he'd be warm too, before holding him close again. All she really cared about at the moment was his comfort. The fact that he had asked her to hold him made her happy, knowing how open he was being with her at that moment. She'd noted his shy smile earlier, which showed exactly how open he was being: she'd never seen him smile shyly before. She nuzzled lightly against his cheek for a moment. "Of course, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's shy smile hadn't left his face as Arryn held him close. He rested against her as she pulled the blanket up around them. She was always so thoughtful, making sure that he stayed warm as well. He sighed contently before burying his face against Arryn's neck. "Thank you."

 

[Dragongal]

"Don't mention it, love. I do it happily. " Arryn kissed the top of his head, then nuzzled lightly against him. She very quietly began to sing again, only because she knew where loved it.
