Morning Rests

Author's note: Just a small little one shot I thought of. I think Big Boss/EVA deserves a lot more recognition around here! Enjoy.

You laid in bed thinking, last night was magical. She lies curled up against your chest, your arms wrapped around her body. Her make up is gone, and you smile, she's so beautiful, so natural at that moment. You lean in and let your lips graze her forehead.

You know you have to leave. You hated leaving her. Ever since she threw herself at you in that grassy humid country, you didn't want her or yourself to leave anymore.

You smirk, you've laid awake all night, puffing your cigar mildly. You couldn't sleep even after that time, besides you were too busy sitting here enjoying this time. The time in which everything is wonderful, it doesn't matter what's happened over the past week, all those things that has been bothering you is gone. You pay no notice to that media attention on yourself, while you lay here entwined with her. Love permeates through the room, almost like the sunlight pouring through the window.

It fills the room and makes everything appear in a new and better way, your battered soul feels refreshed. You look down at her again, her hair is long and sleek, like an angel's. Her smooth skin brushes against you as she rearranges herself while in a deep sleep. Such beauty, you think as you hold her in your arms, what did you do to deserve love like this, to be happy like this.

She shivers slightly, you glance at that open window and a cool wind has been blowing across the room. You gently pull the blankets and sheets around her, last night they had been so warm and sticky, but through the night everything had cooled and become almost uplifting. She snuggles against you, the sheets were sliding down her shoulders so you gently press your arm against them, keeping them in place.

You let your hand caress her, and slowly a smile comes to your face. It is at this moment that you realize that you didn't want just to make love, you want a moment like this, this time when everything is wonderful and she is so beautiful, when you can truly see it all during these mornings afterward. You tell yourself you'll have many more mornings with her like this. After all, you saved her, you wanted her back in your life, even if it was but an invitation.

You slowly lifted yourself from the sheets as quietly as you could, not to stir her. Your heart started to ache already, leaving your quiet home life with her to go back to that raining country. But the LRRP team was something that couldn't wait on just you. You don't want to protect the country that betrayed you, you want to protect it for her.

You bended down to her slumbering face and kiss her soft lips chastely. Leaving ever so quietly, you make sure to write her but one small note.

Sorry, see you soon. Dinner's on me. - John.

If only you had known the next time you'd come back, you'd be in a deep deep sleep all but dreaming pretty dreams until reality takes its course and wakes you into a nightmare.
