Drabble 1 for Ebony Silks 'Easy' Theme
Time and Tenderness
The sun glittered through the blinds, shining down on his slumbering face. She resisted the urge to touch his porcelain skin and cup his cheeks. Instead, she opted for watching him with her head resting on her elbow.
Her eyes glowed with the warmth of the depth of love she felt for the taiyoukai lying next to her in the bed. Never would she have thought all those years ago, when they'd first met under enemy circumstances, that she would be here, sharing a life with him.
Mindful, they're feelings for one another hadn't come straight away like a fairytale, where the princess always found her prince. It had taken time; beginning with short word phrases that led to small talk then to conversations and more.
She recalled it hadn't been easy with Sesshomaru. His constant frigidness and dispatched attitude had almost driven her to the point of leaving on several occasions but somehow they managed to work through it together.
The biggest hurdle, she'd found, was learning how to gain his trust. Unlike InuYasha, Sesshomaru had millennia of hurt to work through. He'd been neglected by both his parents as a child, physically and emotionally. He had had to learn how to take care of himself at a very early age. It led to him building a near-impossible wall of protection around himself.
It had been the hardest thing she'd ever tried to accomplish but everyday, she managed to spend time with him without being pulled away by an angry InuYasha, she was able to chip away a small piece of that wall. Now, five hundred years later, he lay next to her after a night full of passion and tearful, unveiling of soul.
She was broken out of her reverie by his softly spoken voice.
"Good morning."
She shifted her eyes to meet his. Golden pools of swirling vulnerability, the shell that had covered them was no longer present to guard his heart from her.
Reaching out a hand, she lightly ran the tips of her fingers down the side of his face. He watched her with curiosity, and inhaled shakily when she brushed them over his beautifully crafted mouth. She forced an immature giggle down; knowing now was the most critical time she had to show him he had nothing to fear from her.
She dropped her elbow and moved her other hand to cradle the opposite side of his face. She lowered her head till her lips were but an inch away from his.
"Good morning." Her reply was just as softly spoken.
His mouth slowly curled up, and her heart exploded with joy.
He smiled.
She closed the remaining distance between their mouths and kissed him sweetly.
