Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn couldn't respond before she fell into a deep, dreamless sleep, though she still held Dayn's hand tightly to her chest. This was the first real rest she had been able to get since the visions began.

 

[BookWyrm]

When morning finally came Dayn woke feeling almost like a new man. He hadn't rested that well for days. As usual, though, he didn't move Arryn around so that she could get what bit of extra sleep she could. She deserves it.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn woke about an hour later. Gods, when was the last time that she had slept so soundly? Too long ago, to be sure. Arryn opened her eyes and smiled a bit before kissing along Dayn's neck to let him know that she was awake.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Easy fy rhosyn tân.", Dayn laughed as he shivered. "Unless you really are in the mood."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn gave him one last kiss before pulling away and giggling a bit. For once she didn't feel tired, or cold... she felt good. Well, normal, which was good in her case. "It's a bit early in the morning for that. I just thought I would let you know I was awake. Maybe later, though. Breakfast first."

 

[BookWyrm]

Giggling, that is a good sign. "Mm, and I appreciate the sentiment. It does sound like we have a plan though." Dayn reached up and gently rubbed Arryn's neck as they laid together. He grimaced slightly. "All of that stress has tightened up your neck. You've gotta relax a little more hon."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and relaxed against Dayn. "Well next time I can't get a solid sleep for three plus days and almost die, I'll remember that." Arryn could have purred as Dayn rubbed her neck. He knew that she couldn't argue if she wanted to when he did that.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn chuckled as he continued to work on Arryn's neck. She was unable to resist this, and Dayn knew it. Of course he also knew that she had her own ways of disabling him as well. It's only fair.

 

[Dragongal]

When Dayn was done working on her neck, Arryn wrapped herself up in a blanket and took Dayn's hand and tugged on it. "I'm starving."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Just a moment. Making sure to stay warm is important." Dayn stood up and wrapped one of the magic blankets around his waist in an improvised kilt, sash, thing. "Okay, now I can get around to making hot cakes.", Dayn said as he walked into the kitchen and started grabbing ingredients.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn sat on the counter and helped by mixing the ingredients and washing the dishes as they went along. She left the actual cooking to Dayn.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was feeling twice as good as usual, and so he made a show of it. He started to sing some crazy fun song about cooking all while dancing in over exaggerated movements all for the sake of making Arryn laugh. He ended up stepping on his blanket kilt and causing it to unravel at his feet. "Did it suddenly get chilly in here to you?", he asked as he tried to hold back his own laughter.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn had to pause in her laughter so she could breathe. When she caught her breath, she commented, "I dunno, seemed to have gotten a little warmer in here to me." Time to see if she could make him blush.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stopped for a moment before shaking his head. She had caught him off guard, and her intent had worked. Dayn felt the red creep across his face, so he of course turned to go back to work on the hot cakes. "Hey hon, do you think you could retie my blanket kilt for me?" In truth he was moving pans around and flipping the cakes over, so his hands were full at the moment.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled and did as she was asked. Once his improvised kilt was tied she gave him a little kiss on the back of his neck and returned to her seat on the counter. "You're very handsome when you blush, you know. You're always handsome, but the blush adds to it."

 

[BookWyrm]

The compliment, and pointing out the blush, only made Dayn blush that much more. Was it spreading to his torso or was he just starting to feel that warm draft Arryn was talking about? "Alright, hot cakes and bacon. Here, before I suddenly burst into flames." Dayn hadn't managed to get his blush under control even by the time he joined her on the counter.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled and leaned against Dayn. "Don't act like you hate it, I'm just teasing you." She took some of the food and set in with an appetite.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Of course I don't hate it. I absolutely love it, I just can't stop it when it gets going."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled sympathetically. "Okay." Once they finished their food, she helped clean up, then said, "What do you want to do now?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"This." Dayn walked over, undoing the blanket from around him, before unfolding it and wrapping both of them up inside of it as he pulled Arryn to him. "I want to hold you against me. I want to feel your heartbeat with mine." Dayn nuzzled against Arryn's neck as he held her close. "I don't ever want to let go."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and nuzzled against Dayn's cheek. "Okay, mo chroi. That sounds nice to me."

 

[BookWyrm]

They had relaxed and laid around for upwards of an hour or more, lightly dozing here and there. At the moment Dayn was laying on his back, Arryn laying on him as he brushed his fingers up and down her sides. Mischief played at the corners of his mouth as he leaned in, kissed Arryn's neck, and started tickling her relentlessly.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed and squirmed before rolling off of Dayn. The kiss had been nice, but the tickling had caught her off guard. She'd been dozing with the occasional pleasant shiver from his hands brushing along her sides, and hadn't expected the sudden mischievous attack. She grabbed his wrists and held his hands away from her.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled and laughed as he fought to continue the tickle assault. When Arryn grabbed his wrists and held his arms out Dayn leaned in and kissed her on the lips. "Hey there good lookin'. Seems you have foiled my attack."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss and giggled as she leaned against Dayn to nuzzled his neck, but still held his wrists. "Mhm. But you got a nice kiss out of it, so not so bad?"
