A/N - Thanks to my wonderful beta, and all those that reviewed! I really appreciate it! Sorry this came out so late!
Summer Dreams
The blue glow bobbed up and down, moving closer and closer. Savyna was getting tired. No mater how many times she attacked it, it wasn't showing any signs of weakening.
'At least I can still hit it. As long as I can hit it, it'll go down...right?' She shook her head. No time for disparaging thoughts. She launched another punch, only to be surprised when her arm passed right through it. Her eyes grew wide as she saw the glow moving even closer, until she was engulfed in a brilliant blue light.
"Agh!" Savyna couldn't move, and she felt unbearably hot and smothered. It seemed the more she struggled the more she couldn't move.
"Hey, hey, quit moving around so much. You're only gonna get yourself more tangled up."
Savyna blinked. That sounded like Gibari's voice. Then she realized that it was the sheets that she was tangled up in. Savyna could feel the sheets being pulled away by Gibari, until she finally saw his face and felt the cool air on her cheeks.
"Rough night?" He asked, as he folded the sheets and blanket.
"Mm," Savyna replied. She didn't feel like telling Gibari about her dream. It was...embarrassing. She flopped back down onto the bed and curled up into a ball, hugging Gibari's pillow.
"Oy, aren't you gonna get up?" Gibari asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Like you said, rough night."
Gibari just shook his head and laughed, "You're hopeless, ya know that?" He bent down, gave her a good morning kiss, and walked out of the bedroom. Savyna made sure he was out of the room before burying her face into Gibari's pillow and smiling, her face red.
The warm summer breeze fluttered through the window, and light filtered in through the curtains. Sounds of children on summer break playing outside floated in, happy and carefree. Savyna sighed. She felt content.
"About time," Gibari playfully teased as Savyna walked into the kitchen, still yawning slightly.
Savyna just ignored him, and snatched the toast he was eating.
"Hey!" Gibari protested, but Savyna had already eaten it. She just smiled at him, waving her now-empty hands.
"C'mere, you little..." Gibari's arms encircled Savyna's waist, and pulled her in for a long kiss. Savyna was slightly breathless and her face and lips red when they pulled apart.
"So, you gonna tell me what this dream of yours was about?" Gibari asked, pressing his forehead to hers.
"Nothing you need to know." Savyna smiled back, her hands wrapped loosely around his neck.
"Is that so?" Gibari was just about to lean in for another kiss when the stovetop started to smoke.
"!" Gibari cursed and quickly took the pan off.
Savyna couldn't help but laugh a little. Fortunately, Gibari was a pretty able cook, and soon they were seated at the breakfast table.
"So, breakfast for your thoughts?" Gibari asked, and placed Savyna's plat in front of her.
Savyna didn't answer, and Gibari didn't bother to pry anymore.
"Okay, it was about ghosts." Gibari blinked. Savyna looked slightly embarrassed, and it took him a couple of seconds to figure out what she was talking about.
"Oh...was it scary?"
A long pause. Then a slight nod.
Gibari couldn't really think of anything to say, so he tried to lighten the mood up a bit, "Well, you know how these summer dreams are."
"Summer dreams?" Savyna looked a bit puzzled.
"Yeah, that's what I call 'em, anyway. Sometimes the summer air just makes you have strange dreams."
"Hmm. Never thought about it that way before," Savyna paused a little before continuing, "so what about you? Did you have any dreams?"
"No, not really?"
"Not really? What's that supposed to mean?"
"...nothing much."
"Nothing much?"
"...well, that's what you were wearing, anyway..."
Savyna's fork stopped in midair.
And that's all we have time for today, thanks for reading! gets stoned Okay, okay, just kidding!
"Hey, I'm a guy! I'm allowed to have dreams like that!" Gibari protested after getting various pieces of cutlery thrown at him. A fork zinged past his ear.
"Okay, okay, sheesh. I take that back! But don't forget, you were the one who asked."
Savyna was about to throw a butter knife at him, but then realized that he had a point.
"Let's just finish eating, okay, honey?" He barely missed the steak knife.
A/N - I was trying to go for a serious mood throughout this whole series, but this chapter kinda stomped on it. I played off of Savyna's fear of ghosts for this one, and after that, it became kinda hard to keep serious. No, Gibari's not a perv, nor did I intend it to be. It just seemed to kinda fit, and I thought it would be amusing. And guys, I don't mean to offend you. Sorry this came out so late, as I had finals and whatnot. But now that it's summer, hopefully I'll be writing more. Thanks for reading!
No, I do not know if it's true or not. I just made it up.
