Summary: It's the first day since Ivy and Wren moved into Sanctuary. A ridiculous play fight between them somehow turns into a sentimental reflection on their lives so far. …Not that Ivy is complaining, of course. Any opportunity to remind Wren how much she means to her is a great opportunity, in her book.

Ivy gently nudged Wren's shoulder as she laid next to her, having just woke up. They were curled up on a few blankets, using the fluff of one of the blankets as a pillow. The previous night had been hectic and Ivy had wanted to go to bed immediately — which Wren didn't argue about, surprisingly enough. Ivy glanced at their surroundings — they were still in Sanctuary, staying in the empty living space that was offered to them for the time being. Ivy was still over the moons with excitement over the fact that she was living WITH dragons, but she'd been containing her excitement so she could be "professional" in front of everyone.

"Wren…wake up," She murmured. Wren was still sound asleep, her snoring soft. Ivy had always thought that it was impossible for Wren to look even more adorable, but every time she woke up to Wren still asleep, she was proved wrong once again. Wren might not think so, but…she's so cute.

Wren groaned, flopping to the other side. Ivy held back a chuckle. Can't believe this is actually happening, She thought. I'm going to be living with actual dragons! And I still get to be with Wren while I'm at it. Eventually Wren opened one eye, most of her face still buried in one of the blankets. Ivy gave her a small kiss on the forehead.

She giggled. "Morning, Wren."

Wren sighed, a small smile on her face. "Heh, morning to you too." She playfully nudged Ivy's shoulder. "I can't believe you woke up before me. Are you sure you didn't stay up all night?"

Ivy rolled her eyes. "I'm sure. I think you're just jealous that I woke up before you~" She stuck out her tongue, resulting in Wren scoffing in response.

"I am NOT."

"Sounds exactly what a jealous person would say!"

"I think you mean a NOT jealous person."

"Are you sure about that, Wren?"

Wren growled, her face now a mocking pout. Ivy simply laughed, gently bumping Wren's nose. She yelped, though her sudden shock quickly dissolved into laughter. Upon seeing Wren's face, Ivy couldn't help but join her.

Finally calming down, Wren curled back up against Ivy. "We should probably keep it down, huh? We don't want to wake up Leaf and Sky. And especially not—"

"Chinkapin? Yeah, I probably should've thought of that sooner…" Ivy began rubbing Wren's arm, not thinking much of it. "I never imagined that this would be where I'd end up in life. It's all so amazing, isn't it?"

Wren blinked at her, surprised. "Oh? What's bringing this on all of a sudden?"

Ivy felt her cheeks flushing. "Well, I've just been thinking a lot recently…about everything, really." Wren's silence prompted her to awkwardly continue. "I just never thought that one day I'd be living my life—long dream, you know?"

Nodding, Wren sighed softly. "This wasn't exactly my dream when I was younger, but…yeah. I get that."

"And I never imagined that one day I'd be travelling Pyrrhia or living with dragons! Or learning Dragon from the best teacher in all of Pyrrhia…" She grinned at Wren, who shyly smiled back.

"I mean, of course I am!" Wren added, though it was clear she was having trouble believing the compliment.

Ivy fully wrapped her arm around Wren's shoulder. "You absolutely are, even if you can't fully believe it yourself."

Wren huffed, though she couldn't stop smiling. "Stop being so nice."

Kissing Wren's forehead again, Ivy laughed. "Never! You deserve all the compliments in the world, Wren. And if you deny it, you're wrong."

Groaning in response, Wren held back a smile as she inched closer to Ivy, not saying anything else. Her breathing was soft and steady as she relaxed — Ivy closed her eyes, unable to wipe the smile off her face as Wren snuggled into her neck.

"I love you," Wren chuckled softly, a hint of defeat in her voice. "…Please don't change, ever."

Ivy opened her eyes briefly to share Wren's gaze. "I won't, I promise. I love you too." And you'll always be the amazing person who'll always mean the world to me.

A/N: i swear i write other ships other than Wrenvy and Daffiolet- i just wanted to keep this one short and sweet and finish it so i could work on the Daffvylet one(two?)-shot i started and an angst filled Rowan-centric one-shot i had in mind :')

also just so it's clear - this takes place after the main arcs. i want to say a few years after the main arcs? it's long enough where both Ivy and Wren are adults here (and adding onto that, Chinkapin is in fact an oc)
