When I first joined the fanfiction site I was writing solely for the Winx Club fandom hence my pen name, but I've been a fan of Lauren Kate's Fallen series since it first came out and I was excited to see that there was a fandom for it here on the site.

I've always figured Arriane and Roland's relationship wasn't just platonic but that they're in fact lovers. So I decided to do a series of one shots of them across time. The overall rating for the story will be M, but not all chapters will be that way. I'll always let you know at the beginning of the chapter what the rating is for that particular one.

This story is set way before the fall, so they're still in heaven of course and I thought that this would be a great way to start since that would be where their love began.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fallen or any of the characters, all the credit goes to Lauren Kate.

Rating: T

Arriane and her older sister Anabelle ran through the grassy hills of the wide open prairie reveling in the warmth of the sun. Their long white dresses flowed in the gentle summer's breeze as they engaged in a game of tag.

From the distance Roland watched breathlessly as the two girls ran bare foot through the wild flowers. Seeing Arriane always had that effect on him. Maybe it was the way her long dark curls seemed to cascade down her back, or her free carefree laugh, the way her beautiful porcelain skin glowed in the light, or possibly the way her brown eyes lit up whenever he told one of his jokes. Whatever it was that had Roland so drawn to Arriane remained a mystery, but he just knew he couldn't stay away.

"It looks like someone is here to see you." Anabelle said motioning to where Roland stood in the distance. She gave her younger sister a teasing look. "Maybe I should give you two some alone time." She said gathering up her skirts to leave. As she passed by Roland she gave him a friendly punch on the shoulder. "Go get her slick."

"Hey," he called over to where Arriane was standing; her hands were fisted on her perfectly curvy hips.

"You just can't stay away from me." Arriane teased cocking her head to the side. But she was the one that went to him. She quickly closed the space between the two of them and wrapped her long slender arms around his waist.

He brought her mouth to his and the two engaged in a short but passionate kiss. His hands tangled in her long dark hair, and her hands pressed against his perfectly sculpted chest.

"You're intoxicating." He said after they broke apart, gasping for air.

"And you're irresistible." She whispered as she laid her head in the curve of his neck.

In the warm summer sun, the two lovers held each other in the tightest of embraces not daring to let the other go.

I hope you all enjoyed it. Please review and let me know what you think.
