Drabble Prompt: #1-OTP combined with a prompt I received a while back from phoenix39.

Word Count: 100


Peter loves Claire's hair tickling his face when they make love.

The small whisper of her curls on his skin was burned into his memory long ago.

The feel of her breath mixing with his is as close to Heaven as he's willing to get.

At night when they're curled together on their bed and her hair is spread across his dark pillow he's uncomfortably reminded of the myth of Icarus.

He wonders when the sun will melt his wings and leave him in freefall.

She sighs into his neck and holds him tighter, blue eyes glittering.

He's already fallen.


"I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,

but just coming to the end of his triumph."


A/N: I've claimed Peter/Claire over at lj's comm otp100. So there will be more to come. If any of the drabbles are naughty/smutty, I'll be posting them seperate.
