A single candle for tonight.

Warm flame flickering, as it eats away at the cold oxygen in the night air.

The orange fire bathes your golden prince in a godly hue.

It is taking your breath away...

... a soft kiss on the lips, your fingers running through his golden, locks.

His eyes remain closed, mind gone in a far-away dream. The brave, strong prince will not stir from his slumber more than needed tonight.

He never does.

He will be too busy dreaming about you, and all the wonderful things you are about to do to him.

You smile as his head tilts to the side, searching out your touch as you retract your hand, his lips muttering incoherent words. You are sure they are lovely words; anything leaving those lips is heaven to your ears.

You modestly uncover the royal's body, mindful of the other occupant in the bed. His Gwen. A little draught with a pinch of magic was all that was needed for both of them.

All that is ever needed.

He may be hers in marriage, as the fates have foretold, but it is your name the royal screams in his dreams.

You have made sure of it.

Another kiss on those lips, as you slip your hand lower, running your pale hands down that beautiful chest and torso. A little lower, your fingers find and pull down the material protecting him.

You care for Gwen. He may be her husband, is her husband, but he is your destiny. You don't intend to only fulfill it half-way. You have done too much, given too much for him, to come back empty-handed. He will always be yours in all but name and title.

She, he will be with in his waking hours, as they sit on their thrones while his father lies dying. She, he will be with, when the crowds will cheer as history is beginning, just as destiny has decreed it will.

You kiss him, one more time gently; another... slightly more roughly. You are losing your breath once again. You move to sit atop him, and his lips moan your name...

You, he will be with in his slumber; in his subconscious mind and in his dreams. You, he will be with forever in his mind, as he is in yours.

He will always be the other side of your coin,

Even if you have to remind him night after night.
