A lone tear slid down my cheek as I let out a long suffering sigh. I slid my glasses off and massaged my temples. I knew that being a queen would be hard, but I never imagined the stress. There seemed to be a conflict in every province of the Vinkus, and with Fiyero in the Emerald City on a peace making trip, all of the responsibility rested on my shoulders. I hadn't slept in days and my resolve to keep my emotions inside was wearing thin. I missed my husband. I knew it was ridiculous because he had only been gone for two weeks, but still he had been gone for two weeks! I felt as if I was carrying the weight of the Vinkus on my shoulders and I guess I was. This job was not meant for one person. It was made for the king and queen together. I threw my face into my hands. How had I never realized that it was this hard? I asked Fiyero if he wanted my help but he always said no and I accepted that. Needless to say, he wasn't going to do it solo anymore. Picking my head up I resumed my letter to the governor of a province in which they had two proven murderers asking for a retrial. Finishing up I placed the letter in an envelope and sealed it. Moving on I heard my door open. "No Emine, I don't want to come down for dinner." I stated for the fifth time.
"It's midnight and you haven't eaten yet?" my head shot up at the voice. Fiyero.
I jumped up and ran into his arms wrapping my arms around his neck tightly. "Oh Fiyero!" I kissed his neck and tightened my arms. "Why wouldn't you let me help you?" I asked pulling away. "This is too much for one person and that's a lot coming from me."
"I didn't want to worry you," he stated kissing my lips.
"Fiyero! I am your wife! And not only that but I am queen! I need to know what's going on in my country," my voice then grew soft and I cupped his cheek, "and I need to know what's going on with you." I kissed his lips fully and the feeling of his hands on my clothed back felt oddly erotic. I moaned into his mouth and he opened it allowing my tongue to trace every line of it as his explored mine. I pulled back and smiled at him. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," with that my lips were recaptured in his.
A/N: really short I know but I had to get it out of my head.
