Reality
He always closes his eyes as they kiss, as if afraid to see her face so close to his own, as if the reality will be lost if he does; she keeps her eyes open, drinking in the shape and gentle contours of his face. He is almost afraid to touch her, unsure and constantly doubting what seems so real- the feel of her skin, the softness and light touch of her hair- he doesn't want to ruin them; she wraps her arms around him and holds him close to her chest. He always wants to talk, needing assurance that she is really there, that what he feels, she feels too, and that she is happy; she tells him that she has never been happier, and it is true- but she is tired of talking, has done nothing but talk to him for her whole life- and she kisses him just to keep him quiet. He has always been cautious, and explains softly to her that he doesn't want to spoil everything by moving too fast; she laughs at the idea and tells him with fervour that if anyone will move too fast in this relationship, it will be her.
And, somehow, he finds that a comfort.
Author's notes: A little outlet for my AlWin obsession. I'm not sure how many of these I'll write in total- 50? 100? I haven't set myself a target. It all seems a little daunting really. . . But the advantage to this format is that I can write these really quickly. I wrote 6 today. :D They should range in length quite a lot, but won't be too long- if I write anything substantial I'll publish it separately. (I won't repeat all this for every drabble, incidentally. In future each chapter will only have the notes specific to that particular drabble.)
NB. I might as well put this here. Just in case I've accidentally been ignoring people who send me messages, I'm sorry. Fanfiction's alert system isn't working well for me at the moment. If you have something to say to me, please say it in a review, as I can still get those. Private messages I'm not sure about.
Reviewers all get kudos cookies, and also can request something if they like. It has to be AlWin (duh) and can't be lemony- unless I really like the idea XD
