So yeah I am kind of new to this fanfiction type writing so I am warning you there will probably be a sufficient variety of grammatical errors - just bare with me. Anyways I have recently finished off reading the lunar chronicles and I thought Jacinter was the cutest couple so here it goes...

P.s this takes place after the 4th book

- Authors note

Winter walked down the serene hallways of the palace feeling in surprisingly good spirits, it had been a few weeks since they had inserted that device that blocked bioelectricity and she was already starting to feel the impact. The surgeons had said it had gone well and they said they were going to operate on a few more volunteers before releasing any information of their success to the public, but when she looked in their faces she could see a distinct sparkle of excitement telling her that the confirmation was nearly unnecessary and that they were on the brink of a discovery that could almost guarantee peace between earth and Luna.

This had launched some of her happiness but a lot of it was do to a certain person whom she had and will always be a part of her heart, Jacin...

Ever since she started to wake from her complete insanity after the revolution, it was clear he was never going to let her out of his sight again. When he learned of her intentions to get the cure to her lunar disease he had been adamant that she should not have to go through with the procedure after all she was the first test subject and so many things could go wrong but she had already signed up and nothing was going to stop her now. Even though this decision he stood by her all the way, he was more than her guard, or even even her best friend, he was the man she loved so deeply for as long as she could remember.

It was clear how they felt about each other and knowing this she felt a shift in the relationship. What had once been forbidden love, a sacred friendship, unattainable wishful thinking, had grown to become more of a reality since Selene's new rule. As this realization occurred to them both she begun to feel barriers that had been built through years of friendship crumble.

He was more willing to show casual intimacy such as holding her hand or touching her shoulder, but with each and every flicker of romance she felt her body tingle and her cheeks grow hotter, she still remembered the passionate kissing in the menagerie and could not help how her mind would wander to that moment of reckless abandon whenever he touched her. In all honesty she yearned for more of such intimacy in fact she craved it, she was starting to get sick of dancing around Jacin to get a simple peck on the cheek…

As she walked up to her quarters she saw a recognizable head of light hair, facing away from her, she tried her best at a stealthy tip-toe and once she got close enough leaped towards him wrapping her arms around his chest from behind and exclaimed

"Jacin!" she called.

She felt him flinch against her airtight embrace and slowly ease into it turning around to see her saying,"Winter, don't scare me like that I nearly had a heart attack."

She leaned in and whispered "Sorry" in response.

He continued anyways "I thought we could have a walk seeing as I am on duty"

After they had reassembled the staff, Jacin had decided to continue to be her personal guard, after all that was the best way they could remain together particularly as she was to be leaving for her ambassadorial excursion within the month.

Winter hung onto his arm as they walked in the direction of the courtyard. "How have you been feeling today?" He asked looking at her with slight concern.

"Better than usual" she replied smiling, she noticed his eyes linger towards the back of her neck to where the chip had been planted and subconsciously she began to feel a little self conscious.

"They say I should have a full mental/physical recovery by the end of the week." Relieved, she noticed a smile pulling at the edges of his mouth. They continued

talking, laughing and walking and before she knew it they were rounding the main hall towards her quarters.

She could not believe how unbelievably good it felt to just be in his presence laughing and talking, like nothing had changed in the last few months like he had never killed Ryu in a desperate attempt to save her life, like she had not gone mad for weeks after using her glamour, like they had never told each other how they felt. But it still lingered in the back of her mind only to be thought of when her mind was quiet and defenceless.

As they had walked her hand had slipped into his, and she felt a rush of warmth and happiness. "So I see Sir Clay has finally decided to abandon the serious guard act for once" she teased, her cheeks growing warm she nudged him with her shoulder.

"Yes I have but only because I have not gotten paid for the last few weeks of duty and I believe service requires payment," he said with a joking smile, they had rounded the corner and were now in front of her door still talking.

"Well then I believe it is my job as a member of the royal family to pay a humble palace guard for his service"

"I do believe it is" he replied noticing the twinkle in her eyes.

She then said "close your eyes and then you shall receive it" she waited for his eyes to close completely and before she could chicken out she leaned up and pressed her lips gently against his. Feeling her kiss Jacin slowly leaned into the kiss taking her by surprise and reminding her of the other time they had kissed. The kiss had begun tender, but as it grew long she felt passion grow as he kissed her again and again only letting her go momentarily for air. She felt his hands grip her hips pressing her against the wall. Every inch of space that had once separated them disappeared in this frenzy of passion as she felt them grow so close it felt as if their body's were merging. She felt warmth spread throughout her body and lower abdomen as they grew sweaty with heat. Then she felt him let out a soft moan as she wrapped her legs around his waist pushing them closer than ever. He started wondering from her lips to kissing her chin to the scars that spread across her upper cheek and she felt her body buzz with excitement.

"Well it took you long enough" she mumbled "I thought you were never going to kiss me again" she continued.

"Well I didn't think I would live long enough to even think about another kiss" he said breathing down her neck, their movements had slowed and she found herself tucked tightly in his embrace her hands playing softly with the tips of his hair that hung over his neck and looking into his bright blue eyes.

"I can't believe how close you were to sacrificing yourself so I could escape" she whispered. "You know I could not imagine a life without you in it" she whispered again.

"I would do anything to see you live even if it meant putting the life of me and my parents on the line, I do not intend to die before you, you are the most important person in my life, it seemed the obvious choice."

"No, Jacin promise me that you will never leave me like that again, if you die I die, you do not know how horrifying it was those days where not knowing whether or not you were dead. Waiting until Levana inevitably would find out you had not killed me, hoping to all the stars that she didn't." She choked out remembering the grief she had felt.

"Well then you have to promise me that you will never leave me like you did after you used your glamour, do you know how scary it was seeing you like that, and wondering if you would ever come back to being the less crazy winter I know" he said looking deeply into her eyes.

"Well luckily with the chip that should be possible" she said leaning her forehead against his.

All she could feel was the steady thump of their heartbeats and the puff of their breathes "I promise I will never leave you again" he whispered.

"I promise I will never leave you again" she whispered back.

He slowly reached down and gently kissed her before saying "I have to go to a meeting with some of the guards, I will see you later" as he peeled himself out of her embrace and gently squeezing her hand before turning around to leave. As she watched he stride down the empty hallway she felt a sense of glee remembering there promises thinking them over and over again in her head and smiling a wide grin only somebody in love could have mustered.
