'Norata, come and look at this!' Keira whispered as the couple had just gotten up. As far as Norata knew she had just gone to the bathroom but went with her anyways even though what he had in mind was ever so different from what she really wanted to show him. She smiled as she watched him follow and led him down the hall but Norata was surprised when she stopped outside Rocket's room and quietly opened the door. She stood aside and gestured for him to look inside which he did and smiled at the sight. They had left the two cuddled up on the couch the last time he saw them and wrapped a blanket round them. Now they were still cuddled up but in his bed with Rocket snuggled in to Tia's neck with his arms wrapped around her. The sight almost brought tears to Norata's eyes as he couldn't get over how peaceful and happy his son looked. He had been carrying that same expression ever since Tia knocked on the front door.
'She really makes him happy, doesn't she?' Norata spoke softly as the couple gazed at the younger couple with Tia turning around to her left so she could wrap her arms around Rocket better and he returned the favour and tightened the grip he had on her waist with his left hand and lifted his head a bit so it was now laying close so he could smell the raspberry shampoo in her hair.
'She makes everyone happy, that's one reason why he adores her so much,' Keira corrected him as she knew better than anyone (except for Rocket of course) how much happiness the young white haired girl had brought to Keira's own self. She knew that Tia brought extra happiness to Rocket's life but she never failed to shine a light in someone else's either.
'You're right,' Norata agreed as he turned back to Keira and she closed the door, leaving the young couple to sleep in each other's arms peacefully. 'He's lucky to have her,' Norata stated as they continued down the hallway and down the stairs.
'She is, as well as us, lucky to have him!' Keira added with a smile on her face making Norata smile also.
'You're right! I hope he realises this; he's the shyest kid of his age I've ever seen! Mind you, Tia's not so open either!' Norata joked but stopped when he noticed Keira stop suddenly and sigh heavily.
'I missed out on a lot, didn't I?' she sighed guiltily but was reassured when Norata slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.
'Don't worry, we'll make up for lost times! Besides, Rocket has brought his girlfriend over for the first time which means its perfect timing to get out the baby pictures!' Norata encouraged and Keira replied with a simple nod and a huge smile before gently pressing her lips to his as she thought about what the next coming years would be like...
Tia was the first to awake out of the two and immediately noticed Rocket's muscular arms around her, preventing the heat from her body to escape. She lay there for about five minutes in silence and enjoyed the feeling of Rocket's breathing on her neck when she finally decided to open her eyes. She did so and strained her eyesight to see the time and saw it was around 9 am. Could've been worse. She decided to lie there for a while more, and she did so, until she felt something soft graze against the base of her neck and then felt him place his smouldering lips wherever they could which Tia rather enjoyed. He stopped when she felt his breath at her ear.
'Morning,' he whispered softly and Tia smiled as she turned herself round in the bed and faced him, her bright emerald orbs staring up into his hazel eyes lovingly.
'Morning,' she replied softly and an instant smile spread across his face as he leaned down and kissed her. The kiss only lasted for a few moments but it still left the two lovebirds breathless. 'So...' Tia began, twirling herself round and wrapping her arms around him so he could hold her close. '...what have we got planned for today then?' she asked as Rocket began to stroke her hair.
'We might have to help out in the greenhouse this afternoon if that's ok with you but other than that, we're free to do whatever we wish,' Rocket explained and Tia smirked, a plan formulating in her head which Rocket was too sleepy to acknowledge.
'Sounds good to me!' Tia smiled as she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips. Just as they broke away, a devilish grin spread across his face as he flipped Tia round making her let out a small squeal as he began kissing down his girlfriend's neck with her laughing hysterically below him...
'I wonder what those two are doing...?' Norata wondered aloud as he checked his watch to see that it was ten o'clock and Rocket and Tia were usually awake and up at least an hour before hand. Though not usually this late. Keira and Norata had finished their breakfast along with Aarch who had arrived an hour before to indulge himself in Keira's cooking and to spend the morning with his brother and his family, before going off to lunch to 'catch-up' on old times with Aduim. Keira and Aarch had taken no notice of the time but Keira had notices then when Norata brought up the subject. Indeed he was right.
'I'll go and check on them now,' Keira announced and left the room before any of the boys could complain or convince her in to letting them sneak into Rocket's room to spy on him with his new girlfriend.
She gave a small knock on the door first, so they would hear if awake but wouldn't wake them if they were asleep, and soon heard Rocket's voice yell 'come in!' which she then did.
'Good morning you two!' Keira welcomed as she opened the door to find Tia sitting up at the bottom of the bed facing towards Rocket with her legs crossed and a pillow in her lap whilst Rocket was just lying back against the wall.
'Morning Mum!' 'Morning ma'am!'
Rocket and Tia said simultaneously with smiles on their faces. Keira smiled back at the youngsters before suddenly remembering why she was there in the first place.
'Breakfast is ready downstairs if you two want it? And I would be before Aarch finishes it off for you both!' Keira joked and the couple smiled but seemed rather reluctant to get out of bed which Keira never failed to notice. 'I can see you two are rather contented...do you want me to bring up to you?' she asked and the answer was easy to read in both their eyes.
'Only if you don't mind Mum. We'll get up now if it's any problem,' Rocket insisted and his Mum smiled.
'It's ok, you two stay where you are! I'll be back in five minutes with your breakfast!' she smiled innocently but the couple never failed to notice the devilish laugh that occurred as the door closed making the two laugh out loud in embarrassment…
'So did you have a good time last night?' Rocket asked his girlfriend whilst both were lying on either side of the food tray; with Rocket on his side opposite Tia with his head leaning on his right arm and Tia lying on her stomach with her legs crossed in the air. Tia just nodded with a huge smile on her face when Rocket had a thought and picked up one of the strawberries off the food tray and held it out towards her. Out of instinct, Tia leaned forward slightly and took a small bite out of it making Rocket smile delightfully. 'I like the way you eat, it's cute,' Rocket said randomly as Tia innocently chewed the bite.
'Ok…' Tia laughed as she swallowed it and blushed slightly at his random but flattering remark. Suddenly, Rocket lifted the finished food off his bed on to the ground and grabbed her by the waist before pulling her on top of him when he lay down on his back. She giggled into his chest before lifting her head to meet her nose with his. Both giggled before Rocket overcame his laughter and gave her a gentle kiss, making her stop to kiss back. The kiss lasted for a few minutes with their arms embraced; hugging each other close. Breaking away, their eyes drifted open as they feel deeper into each other's arms and gazed in one another's eyes with Rocket gently stroking her hair.
'Why can't we just stay here forever?' Rocket muttered and Tia smiled, feeling the same. That was something they would both be able to live with.
'Yeah…' Tia agreed sadly as she rested her head deep in Rocket's chest and curled up in a ball in his arms. He automatically kissed her hair and continued to stroke it as they fell into their own little heaven…
'I'm not going to get any work done,' Rocket muttered with some forced frustration but the cheeky grin on his face gave away what he was really thinking as his girlfriend placed kisses on the base of his neck as he continued to try and work. His parent's were away doing some stuff outside, giving the two some alone time in the greenhouse which his little vixen was quick to take advantage of. He was working away along with Tia, showing her little tips about how to cut flowers and water them so to keep them alive for that little bit longer. She seemed to be interested but Rocket did notice her interest was sometimes more brought to the attention of his eyes which Tia wouldn't deny. Then his parent's had gone off outside leaving the two alone so whilst Rocket was cutting and what not, Tia had sneaked up behind him and planted kisses on the base of his neck giving him goose bumps and lose focus but, despite being one who is always committed to his job when working, he rather enjoyed it and didn't protest. Instead, he just teased her.
'Not my fault,' Tia muttered against his neck innocently as her hands moved around his muscular arms making him let out a small moan. She smirked as she started to lick his neck and made her hands on their way down to around his chest which made it too much for Rocket. He grabbed one of her hands and pulled her down closer to him as he turned around in the chair he was sitting on and pressed her lips on to his. She obliged happily and moulded his lips with hers as he slowly stood up and pulled her close. Her arms found their way around his neck as he kissed her passionately and his soon found their way under her shirt. She shivered but made no attempt to stop him as they kissed for a further few minutes. Running out of breath, they broke away for air but stay embraced with Rocket's hands now at her waist when Rocket spoke.
'We can get off soon and then we'll go to my cave for a bit,' he promised her and watched the mischievous grin spread across her face so he decided to tease her some more. 'So we'll be alone…in the middle of nowhere…where no one will find us…' he whispered into her ear seductively and as a blush fell on to her cheeks, he leaned in to melt with her lips again but her phone ringing interrupted him from doing so.
'Sorry Rocket, just one second,' she said as she answered it and Rocket turned to do some more work. His parent's soon came back and his father approached Rocket at the desk whilst his mum attended to some flowers.
'I have one delivery ready for you to make Rocket which is the only open today so if you want to do that and go off with Tia then you can!' Norata assured him earning him a smile of gratitude from his son and Tia finished on the phone and watched Rocket uneasily due to the cheeky grin he was giving her…
'That's my shoulder blade,' Rocket commented as Tia's hand dug into his shoulder blade during a passionate make-out session on the mattress in his cave after making that delivery. Mei had rang Tia to inform them that the Snow Kids were planning a movie night out, Planet Akillian and then the movies, so the couple only had a few hours alone together so they were enjoying it. Tia soon placed her arms back around his neck and broke away but let him kiss down her neck for a few moments before speaking.
'Rocket…stop for a second,' she begged and he did; now looking at her worriedly.
'Is everything ok?' he asked and Tia was unsure really of if it was or not so she just looked away and bit on her bottom lip. Realising her thoughts by her actions, Rocket placed a soft hand on his skin making her look back around to him. 'Talk to me,' he begged and she did. The best she could anyways.
'Rocket, I just… I want this to work you know, I want what we have to work. But…' Tia muttered, stopping when she was unable to find the words and Rocket began to panic.
'But what? You don't want to leave, do you…? You don't feel that we're not working?' Rocket asked nervously, not being able to grasp what she was saying but was relieved when she hushed him.
'No Rocket, that's not what I mean! Don't worry! What I mean is… We're friends really that just kiss each other and go on dates. But you are my best friend and I kind of worry that if the whole boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't work then I'll also lose you as my friend I guess. I know this is really random but I just…want you there always; even if we're not in a relationship together. Can you promise me that? Please?' Rocket responded by planting a sweet and gentle kiss on her lips. He knew that would be an easy promise to keep; he had always wanted and will always want her in his life in some way. Since she felt the same, he felt confident that they would always be in each other's lives in some way.
'I promise,' he whispered softly when they broke away and smiled down at her with a sincere look in his eyes which earned him a kiss at the corner of his mouth.
'Thank you,' she smiled sweetly and placing a white hand against his tanned cheek, gave him a memorable exchange of passion through their lips…
