Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit and nuzzled against Dayn. After the dreams, she felt like she had to tell him yet again, "I love you, Dayn."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I love you too." Dayn laid down beside Arryn and pulled her against him to encourage her to get comfortable.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn kept her arms wrapped around his neck, refusing to let him go as she snuggled up. She hid her face against his shoulder again. "I don't think I can sleep again... I'm too scared. What I saw.... I don't want to see it again."

 

[BookWyrm]

"It's okay, I'll stay up with you then." Dayn tucked his head down against Arryn and kissed her cheek. "Just try to relax and rest."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his neck. "No, you need rest... the raid is tomorrow. Go to sleep, please."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn sighed before thinking about something. He slowly called upon his new magic to cover them both, blanketing them in comforting darkness that could sway even the mightiest to sleep. "I'll sleep during the day if I have to." Dayn knew they would both be asleep soon, but he wanted to keep Arryn's attention while the magic worked.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn hadn't even noticed the magic that was affecting her. "Please don't, mo chroi...." She hadn't even noticed that she was falling asleep. In mere seconds, though, she was completely asleep against Dayn, in a dark, peaceful sleep.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had enough time to smile before he joined Arryn in the blissful dark sleep. Nothing to bother them, nothing but the dark to wrap itself around them and hold them tightly.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn slowly stirred in the morning light. When had she fallen asleep...? She could vaguely recall the nightmares from the night before, but how had she fallen asleep...? She gently nudged Dayn.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Hmm?" Dayn cleared his throat and groaned as he blinked and stretched. When his eyes settled on Arryn he smiled and buried his face against her stomach. "Nooooo. Don't wanna get up."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled a bit and pushed him away, then pressed her face against his shoulder. "Okay. We have nowhere to be until tonight. And I did wake you up last night. Sorry about that."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Last night is no problem. This morning, though." Dayn playfully pushed Arryn back so that he could bury his face against her stomach, again, before pulling the covers over his head.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled and rolled away from Dayn. "I see. You just want me as a pillow." In honesty it was hurting her to turn away from hum after the nightmares, but she wanted to see what he would do. And she wanted a simple hug.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn didn't sigh or complain when Arryn rolled away from him. He simply moved until he was behind her, wrapped his arm around her, and laid his head against her neck. "Not a pillow. I want you as the beautiful woman I married. Pillows are nice, but my wife is so much more to me than that. I love her dearly."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn glanced back at him, then smiled and put her hand over his. "Mm, and she loves you just as much." So much so that she gets nightmares about losing you.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn pulled the blankets up around them both before snuggling closer against Arryn. "You know I won't let anything happen to you, right?"

 

[Dragongal]

"I know, mo chroi." Arryn moved so she could face him, then nestled her head under his chin. "I just want to make sure nothing happens to you. That's... my nightmares aren't often just memories, anymore. It's you getting hurt. And I can't stand to see that, even if it is just a nightmare."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slowly startled to nuzzle against Arryn's head as she pressed against him. "Nothing is going to happen to me either."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn slowly nodded and closed her eyes with a sigh. "Okay."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn gently placed a hand under Arryn's chin and lifted her face so he could look at her. "If it wasn't for the fact that it upsets you so, your worrying would be rather cute."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit and leaned forward to nuzzle against his cheek.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn closed his eyes and nuzzled in return. "Mm, there's the woman I know and love."

 

[Dragongal]

"I never left." Arryn nestled her head under his chin again. "We have a while. Want to sleep?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"I just want to be with you. If that means we fall asleep then so be it."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded a bit and nuzzled against Dayn's neck as she got comfortable. She felt so safe next to him, it was honestly a wonderful feeling. Now the question remained, though, could she keep him safe?
