The One From an Alien Planet

[IceQueen]

Cortana smiled and kept him close, her bow swinging from her back as she stared at the path ahead of her. She smiled, glad that he was back by her side.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

They made it to the front door, whereupon Ren held the door open for Cortana. "You first, milady." He laughed a little once more, though it was quieter, and more peaceful.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana blushed and walked inside with him, staring at her. She stared at him and waited for him inside.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Ren walked in, closing and locking the door behind him. He walked over and sat on the couch, unsure of what to do next.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana sat next to him leaning back.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Ren was sleeping just seconds after Cortana sat on the couch with him. He'd really tired himself out with everything that'd happened today.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana chuckled a bit and wrapped her arms around him, slowly lulling to sleep.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Ren slept peacefully. He had a few bruises on his right arm, a scratch or two on his left, and the back of his head was a bit sweaty, but he was clearly still happy. The scratches, bruises, and sweat were all just signs he tried real hard today with everything he was doing.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana slept with him in her arms, keeping him locked tightly in hers as she rested.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Ren hugged Cortana back, though didn't really lock her in place like she did him. He somehow yawned while sleeping.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana let out a laugh in her sleep, cuddling lose to him.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Ren let out a quiet laugh, coughing a little in the middle of it. He opened his eyes, looking at the girl he'd just woken up with cuddling up to him. He lightly stroked her hair, kissing her on the cheek.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana let out a sigh, her eyes slowly peeling open to look at him. 'Morning." She mumbled to him.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"Yeah, morning." Ren hugged Cortana, leaving a gentle kiss on her forehead. He stood up, careful not to cause Cortana to fall off the couch or anything.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana smiled. "Feeling a bit better?" She asked gently.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"Yeah, but it still does hurt. Both my shoulder, and..." He looked depressed for a second, then smiled. "She returned last time, so she'll definitely return this time too."

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana sighed and wrapped her arms around him gently. "Don't be upset." She whispered into his ear.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"Even if Kotori were gone for good, she'd punch me if I were upset." He laughed a little, hugging Cortana.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana smiled. "She may not be gone." She whispered to him.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"I get the feeling that a part of me wishes she were gone." He held a particular spot between his right side and lower back as he talked.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana placed her hand over his. "Why is that?" She whispered.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"Oh, probably just all the times she's kicked me talking." He laughed, letting her know that the wishing she were gone part was nothing but a joke made by the part of him always being kicked.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana smiled and hugged him. "I am sure she misses you too." She whispered, kissing his cheek gently as she held him.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Ren heard his phone go off as he started hugging Cortana again. "Oh, I should probably get that." He pulled his phone out from his pocket, answering it and walking to the kitchen. "Something the matter? Sarah? You need my help? C'mon, you know I'm not good with talking to girls. Just try asking her out yourself. If you get rejected in a nice way, I'll help out. If she completely throws your feelings away like she does everybody else, I'll be there to crush your spirit before you realize how badly she crushed it." Ren put his phone away, now done talking to his friend.

 

[IceQueen]

Cortana looked at him. 'Everything all right?"
