Okay, I had this idea today while listening to one of my favourite songs of all time. At first, I wanted it to be a songfic but then more ideas began to pour into my head so I decided that it would be a good start to my series of drabbles.
If you're curious, No, I have no idea what qualifies as a drabble but my definition is anything under 1000 words.
Hope you enjoy the first chapter of ' The Days Of The Academy'!
Theta stood near the edge of the stone balcony of his room, his hands holding onto the railing while he stared over the horizon thoughtfully, watching as the twin suns began their descent behind the mountain of Solace, tinting the burnt orange sky a deep crimson, similar to the colour of the grass below. From where he stood, on the 50th floor of the academy dormitory building, he could see a million different stars, organised into a million different constellations and with a million different names, each one acting as a sun to it's own little solar system. Together, they knew the names of them all, every one that burnt in the sky.
Lifting a hand, he tried to count them without losing his place, even though he knew it was practically impossible but it didn't stop him from attempting.
" Theta, quit fooling around!" a girl's voice called from behind him. Turning around in the direction that the voice came from. His eyes dragged over her body as she clutched his deep blue sheet to her naked frame, hiding the creamy skin that he had explored hours previous. He practically devoured the sight of his Luna wrapped up like a present, her cheeks flushing because of his heated gaze. Only he could cause that to happen and he was proud of it.
Smirking like the cat who caught the canary, he moved forward and pulled her to where he stood before moving her to stand in front of him, her back pressed tightly against his naked chest while he held her carefully around the waist. Pressing a kiss to her temple, the doctor rested his chin on her shoulder while they both looked out over the grounds of their school.
" I love the view from up here, warm sun and that breeze in my ear. We could watch the world from above... while it turns to the rhythm of love." he murmured softly into her ear, tightening his hold on her because deep down, he knew that they couldn't. No one could know where she was and that she wasn't in her room. If word reached her father, there was no doubt in his mind that he'd lose it. The headmaster's daughter, one of the top students of the academy, binding herself to one of the school's top jokers in the most intimate way two time lords could? He was known for his temper and both involved knew that it could turn out very badly but what could they do? They were in love with each other, beyond all reason.
" We only have tonight Theta because I don't know how long it'll be until I can come back." Luna told him, turning in his arms so their chests were pressed together. Their hearts seemed to beat perfectly, syncing to each others like they shared the same space. His hands slid down her back, pulling the 100 year old woman to him before burying his face into the side of her neck, taking a few deep breaths so he could memorise the flowery smell that always seemed to linger around her.
Deciding to take their minds off of the inevitable separation they'd have to suffer through, he began swaying them from side to side, humming a simple tune as they moved.
" Shush love... We've got until the suns come back up and you're mine until then so forget about your father. Right now, he doesn't matter." he whispered but when the sad look didn't leave her face, he resulted to different tactics and tickled her sides softly until she was giggling quietly as not to disrupt anyone close by.
Grinning, he looked into her eyes deeply, marvelling at the love that shined in the ocean that rolled back while she laughed at his antics. Rising up slowly and placing her hands on his shoulders as they still moved, she pressed their lips together.
Oh yes, she was his.
Okay, Please review, add to your favourites, tell your friends and do everything else you do to stories you like.
I'd also like to tell you all that there will be a cyber cookie free to anyone who can guess what song I was listening to while writing this... Not very difficult if you ask me but you know how it is.
Love you all!
