Just a short story about Lenne and Shuyin and their time together before chaos emerged. Please enjoy; feedback is appreciated.


She was still asleep.

He could feel it on her rhythmic breathes as her bare chest rose and fell, tightening the space between them. Shuyin smiled inwardly as he recalled the night before. The two of them had tangled into one another, tensing at their peak and melting back into the sweaty, tangled sheets that swam around them. Their cores stroked each other as they glided into ecstasy. Lenne hadn't spoken a word after that, but her smile and the glow in her big, dewy brown eyes told him she was content.

Shuyin savored the feel of her soft bare flesh against his tan chamois skin. He slid his hands down to the small of her back, smirking at the flinch he received from his slumbering lover. He knew how sensitive her lower back was and loved the smiles and laughter that spawned from his tickle attacks.

Shuyin craved another peek at Lenne's form. Slowly he eased the covers down her shoulders, revealing her round, milky-white chest. Further down he indulged himself in her smoothly flowing hips; they were hills sloping into the valley of her pelvis. Shuyin felt his cheeks flush and he covered Lenne up, ashamed at his boyish ways. She was so pure, so innocent and clean that he couldn't help but let guilt plague him.

But somehow, unlike his past partners, this one was different. The act in itself was neither dirty nor scandalous, but instead just as pure and innocent as the one he preformed it with. Shuyin pulled Lenne's body closer; her head fell onto his shoulder, limp like a rag doll. His fingerprints swam through her brown locks, memorizing the silky texture they felt with each stroke. He planted a kiss on her forehead and felt her body stir into attention, alert and now awake.

"Shuyin…?" Lenne breathed. Her eyelashes batted luxuriously as they opened. She felt something brush her lower body and tense, noticing a blush flow into her lover's face. She smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Good morning, beautiful," Shuyin whispered into her ear, nibbling at her velvety lobe.

"I had a dream," Lenne stated unabashedly.

"Oh…?"

"Yes. We had a family, Shuyin. You and I. Is that… is that strange? To hear that from me?"

Happiness spread through Shuyin's body in a deluge. "No. No, not at all," he smiled and slid her into a kiss.

"I want to spend my days with you, Shuyin. I've never found someone I felt that way towards. Never."

"Then spend them with me. We'll live our lives together, side by side."

Lenne smiled knowingly at the vehement words that came from an excited Shuyin. He sat up on his elbows and leaned towards her. She loved his rash, bold nature.

"You are my heart," she whispered lovingly and began humming a tune to him. Shuyin basked in her full-lipped smile as it radiated calmness over him. He fell back towards the pillow and allowed his mind to swim in her song.

"… I love you…" he heard himself say. Shuyin was asleep before Lenne could reply.

I love you.
