What if.

Another what if story. This one is about if they never became lovers at all.

Chapter 2: What if they were never lovers

Daine looked thoughtfully out her window. Ozorne was dead and Tortall was finally on the mend. But something heavy was pushing down her heart. Like something should have happened but didn't.

Numair looked at his parchment again for the 20th time and not absorbing a word of it. They had survived the immortals war and every thing was finally looking up. But something was nagging his heart. Like something should have happened but didn't.

"Ready for your lessons magelet?" Numair asked touching his student's shoulder softly.

Daine smiled brightly at her teacher and nodded her head. Though she had mastered a lot of things during their companionship together there was still things Daine had to learn and Numair ready to teach her.

They started to mediate, relaxing into their environment and into each other. With a sigh they relaxed into each other. There minds and bodies becoming one and whole.

Numair saw the hole in her student's heart. A hole where a lover should have filled.

Daine saw with a reality that Numair was holding out for her. Longing to stroke her hair and kiss away her many tears when she failed to master a new technique.

They saw the worries that plagued their minds if they did admit their feelings. How young she was, how old he was.

His reputation and his past loves. His love for her.

Her innocence and purity. Her love for him.

They saw the fights they might have and the rumours spread about them. They saw the times were they might be happily blessed and not caring about the court as long as they were happy.

They saw the truth of what should have happened in the Divine Realms but never did and what they were to do now.

"I love you," Numair chocked out his heart beating rapidly in his chest.

"I love you too," Daine said with a small smile.

Numair didn't wait for another chance before he swooped down and captured her lips with his own.

Daine tensed then relaxed into her teachers arms. They were still student and teacher but now they were both teaching each other the meaning of love.
