Red & Black: AuronLulu Drabbles
Drabble 1: Rest
A/N: A short little drabble I just thought of. There will be more coming soon. Enjoy.
The sun peered over the hills of the grassy Calm Lands, easily awakening the black mage, who had been sleeping peacefully with her head turned toward the East. The pale woman sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Having regained her vision from the night's sleep, she glanced around the group, noting that everyone was still sound asleep inside their bedrolls.
All but a certain red-clad Guardian.
Lulu pushed herself to her knees, trying to get a better view over the tall grass. A small thought told her to turn around. She did so, and spotted Auron sitting on a rock, his back facing the group. The sorceress smiled lightly as she crept to her feet, trying not to awaken the others. She tread lightly through the tall, green grass, eager to try her luck with the hero on this fine morning. As she drew closer, she noticed his slow, steady breathing.
A tell-tale sign that the man was asleep.
Fortunately, he hadn't drifted off unprepared. The large blade he carried about had been shoved firmly into the ground, providing him with something to lean on. She laughed quietly, finding it rather amusing that he had fallen asleep while keeping watch late into the night. The mage crept closer, taking care not to step on any twigs and the like. Once close enough to touch him, she leaned forward, planting a gentle kiss on his temple.
It seemed that even legends needed their rest.
The sun is now up, and I thought that it would be quite amusing to find one such as Auron in a position like this.
