This is a Daine/Numair one-shot. I hope you like it.
Mystery of Love
Daine lay awake, listening to the soft snoring of her love beside her. They were in the room that she and Numair now shared.
'So much has changed in the past week,' she thought drowsily. 'I've returned from the Realms of the Gods, taken part in a war, and found my one true love. Numair...'
Her thoughts turned quickly to the sleeping form beside her.
'He is so amazing and handsome and smart. He is caring and protective and kind. And... he might even love me!'
She began to blush as she considered his soft hands, slender body and sweet lips.
Her musings were interrupted when Numair shifted slightly in his sleep and a single lock of his hair fell into eyes. Tentatively, Daine reached across and wiped the jet black tuft back behind his ear. He murmured in his sleep and snuggled into her touch.
'I love him so much,' she thought with a smile. 'And I'm pretty sure he loves me. But what happens a couple of years down the track when he turns and sees a young girl where he wants a mature woman? The age difference is so large! I can't imagine what it would be like to come to that stage with us already bound together by marriage. And yet... he doesn't seem to care. He wants to marry me and is adamant that he will never fall out of love with me.' She smiled as she considered these things and finally came to a conclusion. 'He loves me...'
Warm with the reassurance of this knowledge, she turned over, intending on going back to sleep. Daine's eyes met Numair's.
"Good morning my love," Numair whispered softly. He leant in and gently brushed her lips with his own. He then put his head back on the pillow they shared and smiled sweetly into her eyes.
"How did you sleep?"
She couldn't help but smile right back.
'He is so gorgeous!' she thought quickly.
"Alright," she replied before continuing quietly. "I like having you here."
If possible, Numair's smile widened and he radiated love and warmth. He pulled her close to him and reached up, cupping her cheek in his hand. Gingerly, he began to stroke her face, brushing away stray pieces of her hair.
"And I like being here," he whispered reassuringly.
Suddenly, Daine lost confidence and became uncertain and flustered.
"But I understand if you want to sleep by yourself in future or spend less time with me. I really don't mind. I'm not your jailer. I..." She was interrupted as Numair swooped in for a kiss. The kiss deepened, passion rising, until the two of them parted, each gasping for breath.
"Do not speak of such things my love," he berated gently. "Of course you are not my jailer; I am here of my own accord. I don't want to sleep in my own rooms and I don't want to spend less time with you. If I had any say in the matter, I would never leave your side. As it is, I cherish every moment I spend with you. I love you Daine and I'm not going anywhere."
At this point Numair embraced Daine in a hug so tight that she felt like her ribs were about to crack.
"I will never leave you," he concluded stubbornly. "Never."
Daine smiled. Hesitantly she loosened his arms and looked up into his eyes.
"I love you too. More than anything else in the world."
Then their lips met for the second time. But this time, true feelings out in the open, the union was true and complete. Time froze as the two souls bound; forever entwined in the mystery that is love.
