My first, and probably only, Belgariad fic. It may not be very good, since I've only read the Danish version, and that was some time ago.

I do not own anything other than the plot in this story.

I woke up in a pleasantly warm bed, with somebody delightfully soft in my arms.

"Good morning, love." her sweet, melodic voice drifted to my ears. "Did you sleep well?"

"Good morning to you too, dearest." I murmured into her hair. "I've slept quite well, what about you?" I nuzzled her neck affectionately, revelling in her smell.

Cyradis purred, almost better than my cat, I noted with some amusement. "Better than I have for quite some time, actually." she sounded immensely drowsy, almost as though she intended to continue where she had let off.

"Do you intend to sleep some more, my dear?" I yawned, the same thought apparently having crossed my mind.

"Hm…" she turned around in my grip, so that we laid chest-to-chest instead of back-to-chest. "Depends…" she purred, her arms sliding up to lay around my neck.

I felt my face grow hot as I stared into her beautiful eyes. "Cyradis…" I whispered, not hoarsely. "Do you know how long I've been in love with you?"

She looked fairly puzzled before she shook her head slowly.

"Ever since I first saw you." then I bowed my head just a little, my lips coincidentally brushing hers. "Star-eyes," I muttered when I saw how starry-eyed she was; I must admit, though, that I rather liked the nickname. "I will always love you."

"I know," she whispered, hugging me close and nuzzling into my chest. "I will never stop loving you back." her warm breath tickled.

I chuckled. "I once read this a line, I can't remember where, it said: 'I will never get used to wake up without her. One would think that it was the same as before I met her, but now I know what I did not have. I must admit that the loneliness is the same, though now I know what causes it.'" I smoothed her dark hair lovingly. "'I will never search for a replacement, for it cannot be found, though love might come once more in another shape…'" I hugged her frail frame possessively.

A few moments of silence… "Have you felt the same?" she asked so softly I almost couldn't hear.

"Both yes and no." I smiled gently at her. "I know how much better it is to wake up with you than waking up alone, I think I would rather die than know that the next time I woke up, it would be without you."

"Love?" she looked slightly confused as she pushed herself up to lean on her elbows. "Are you all right?"

"Quite, dearest." I pulled her down and planted a tender kiss on her perfect, soft lips. "I have never been better."

She frowned, as though still worried; I kissed her again and marvelled as the expression slid off of her pretty features.

"Now, let's get some heirs." I don't think she understood that statement.

It was really short, barely three pages… anyway, review please. If you ask, I might add another chapter with another pairing in it. ;)
