I opened my eyes and was greeted by my whole family. I wondered how long I was out for. I didn't have much time to think as I was quickly talked into an enormous hug, courtesy of none other than Daphne. She had tears in her eyes and she was holding onto me for dear life. I held her just as tightly, making sure not to accidentally choke her. She sat next to me on the bed.
"Sabrina!" she cried joyfully, "you're finally awake! Uncle Jake helped clean your bruises and cuts and I even helped him with putting a cast on your arm and leg, but they healed now. This is great, you're awake just in time for Christmas! I can't wait to see what everyone's going to get!"
Before she could start fully word vomiting on me, mom and dad hugged me and told me that they were glad I was okay.
"Oh liebling, I can't believe you woke up a day early. Would you like some pancakes or cereal?"
I thought of blue pancakes and black cereal and I cringed.
"No thanks Granny." I said and embraced her.
Mr. Canis was still looking as creepy as ever, standing with great posture and he even reminded me of one of those evil butlers. But he wasn't evil, he would fight The Wolf no matter what and he would always protect us. I saw the ends of his lips curve upwards when I thanked him and his eyes were very gentle.
As I took turns, hugging each family member, he just stood there. His back against the wall and his arms crossed over his chest. He looked relaxed and I could tell he was looking at all of us from the door way. As everyone finally left, only then did he walk over to me. His half smile, half smirk still on his face and love clear in his eyes. He took a hold of my hand and kissed it and he didn't let go.
"I shouldn't have walked –
Before he could finish his sentence, I launched myself at him and kissed him. His left hand was holding my waist and he scooped up my legs with his right. He spun me around and put me on the floor again. Not once did our lips part. It was a simple sweet kiss and then it got a little more heated. His hand soon pulled me closer to him and his right hand was around my shoulder. He licked my lips asking for permission to which I happily obliged and opened my mouth and then we stopped, however, we still stood there, hugging. His arms cradling my waist as my hands were on his chest and my head was on his shoulder.
I looked up at him and I loved everything about him. His dirty blonde hair, his aqua blue eyes, his golden tanned skin, and underneath his 'too cool to care' persona, I saw his sweet gentle side in his eyes and his beautiful smile.
"Stay beautiful." I whispered, closing my eyes and inhaling his scent. It was a mix of the forest and the lagoon. It's what I always loved about him. He smelled so natural, no cologne or anything, just Puck.
"I will not." He said feigning hurt, "How dare you call me beautiful; beauty is for females, I am a man, in fact, I am the handsomest man to ever have walked on this planet! My rugged good looks surpass any others! I am the amazing Trickster King after all!"
He raised his eyebrows at me and pursed his lips imitating a girl.
"You're such a modest gay." I said as I mock slapped his chest in a girly manner and turned away from him.
"Hey!" he said playfully, pinning me against the wall, "You ain't too bad looking yourself."
With that he lifted my chin and I felt my lips touch his once more. I wasn't going to let him win that easy.
"Easy there lover boy." I said and I pushed him away as I ran to take refuge in my bed covers.
He, of course, sat down on the bed with me. His had wrapped around my shoulders in a possessive manner and my head rested on his chest. We reclined and laid there for a long time before we both drifted off to sleep, his grip subconsciously got tighter.
