Love Ties - Chapter 1

I sighed, and walked out of the bathroom, my mood drastically changing in the short amount of time it took for me to reach the living room, where Andropov was waiting.

"Are you okay, Kluke?" Andropov questioned, touching my shoulder gently.

"Um…yeah. Just a little stomach ache," I murmured, flashing him a weak smile. He stared worriedly at me for a moment, before nodding his head thoughtfully.

"Well…ok…but are you sure you're going to be well enough to go on the picnic? I don't want you passing out when we get ther

e, okay?" he asked, and I nodded, pushing Andropov towards the entrance to the cottage.

"I'll be fine! Don't worry about me," I answered, trying desperately to overlook the concern clouding his face. Without speaking another word, I grabbed the picnic basket and blanket, and nearly threw Andropov out of the door…

I sighed; smiling as the wind caressed my light brown hair; blowing it out in many different directions. The breeze grabbed at my clothes; the wind tousling the blue fabric around like it was a rag doll. My eyes slid shut, and I savoured the moment. I didn't get to have many days like these; going out for a picnic with my beloved husband. But the clinic had insisted that I should take the day off to relax, as I had apparently been very tired as of late. I knew the reason why, and my friends at the clinic were probably guessing, but Andropov still remained as clueless as always.

"…Kluke? Is something wrong? You've gone quiet," Andropov's calm voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, nothing's wrong, Andropov. I'm fine. I was just…thinking," I murmured, turning my head away from him. I felt his hands caress my shoulders, and his lips were at my ear.

"Oh really? And what were thinking about?" he whispered, attempting to lure me in. I decided to bite his bait, and I smiled, and gave him a sultry look.

"Never you mind, Andropov, sweetie. That's for me to know and you to find out," I teased, giggling a little as he pouted.

"Damn…my plan didn't work,' he grumbled under his breath, and I laughed happily.

"Andropov…your plans never work!" I stated, and he grumbled incoherently, choosing to massage my shoulders, making me tense up.

"Now, tell me…what were you thinking about?" he whispered, his voice lowering until it was just a sensual hum. I felt myself shiver a little, and I took a breath, trying to calm myself.

"Damn…you don't give up, do you?" I murmured, and he chuckled.

"Never," he muttered; the word rolling off his tongue, making me shiver.

"...Fine," I grumbled, moving so that I sitting in his lap. He stuttered, but allowed me to do so.

"So…what were you thinking about? It must be serious if you won't tell me," he asked, and I sighed, and nodded.

"Well…I was just thinking about the day we decided to get together," I lied, my stomach aching a little. I really didn't want to lie to him, but I didn't feel ready to tell him what I was actually thinking about.

"You mean the day we awoke from our comas?" Andropov guessed, and I nodded thoughtfully.

"Yeah. I remember me nursing you back to health, and how I whispered those words in your ear," I sighed, my eyes sliding shut. It was then that I felt Andropov's lips at my ear once again.

"You mean…these words?" he whispered, the words flowing into my ear. I smiled, and nodded. But slowly, my smile disappeared, and was replaced by a frown. I turned to face him, my face blank. I had to tell him.

"Andropov…" I whispered, and he gave me a look of confusion.

"Yes? What's wrong, Kluke?" he asked, taking my hands in his. I sighed, and looked him in the eyes.

"Andropov…I'm-"

My confession was interrupted by a loud whirring noise, and I was ripped from Andropov's arms. I shrieked in shock and pain, and reached for Andropov's hand. My fingers brushed his, before I was surrounded by darkness. One voice echoed in my head.

"Kluke! No!"
