I have decided to do a series of One-Shot Drabbly-Type things. They will be all Tortall characters, and mainly default shippings. (D/N, Dom/Kel, Neal/Shinko, et cetera.) All are focused (mainly) on the shipping. This chappie is obviously D/N (no duh.)

This one is what would happen (I think) if they had not 'confessed their love' for each other in RotG. So… On With The Story!!!!!

DPOV

The brown-haired girl was running as fast as she could through Their Majesties palace, her feet echoing around her in the empty hallways. She was late for her lessons. Numairs gonna kill me… Her teacher was very strict about timing. But he was never mean to her. Oh no, far from it… He was pretty hopeless, but he was kind, and sweet, and funny. He's my teacher, and that's how it stays. But he was just so perfect…

She opened his door, and walked straight in – why bother knocking? He was probably already waiting in his laboratory, tapping his foot waiting for her.

But what she her next completely shocked her to her very core.

"Daine, I love you. I have for so long. I, ijust want to be with you for the rest of my life…." She stood still, rigid as a plank of wood.

"I beg your pardon?" she half-yelled, shocked.

Namair Salmalin open his eyes to sight of his pretty little Wildmage, who happened to be standing near the end of his bed. "Huh? Daine?"

He had been sleep talking.

"You. Need. To. Get. Dressed. Now."'

Now she was really mad.

"I happen to have a massive hangover right now, so I would be much obliged if you were to go and play with Cloud, or Zet, or.. go talk to Onua or …umm something." His voice sounded like mush.

"But what about our lessons?"

"What lessons?" He was about to lose consciousness. "I mean, have you ever had a hang-over? They are very painful ,horrible things."

"Never, ever in my life, because I am not stupid enough to drink as must as you do." She was annoyingly right. He did have to stop drinking…

"Well, your stupid, hung-over teacher wants some sleep, so, if you could leave…"

"But you're funny when you sleep!"

"Funny..?" This was not a good conversation to be having.

"Yeah – did you know that you sleep-talk?"

"No, not really" He wondered where she was going with this.

"Well, you do." The colour drained from his face.

"Wh-What sorts of things do I say?"

"Oh, all sorts of untrue things. It's quite funny."

"Give me some examples."

She squirmed a bit – but she had set herself up for this one, really.

"Oh,I dunno, like, umm something about fish-sticks, and, uhh, gravy, umm, and, well, uhh" she gave up "and, and me".

"What did I say about you." His voice was low, the hangover forgotten.

Her voice was a whisper. "That you loved. Me. And wanted to be with me for the rest of your life."

"I, I, I can explain-"

"-did you mean it?" she cut him off "Did you mean what you said."

She was about to cry, but then he answered.

"I did."

MUSH FLUFFLOVE!!!!

Yay.

Next one Kel Dom. I think.

Luv you all,
