OOO
The moon is gone from the sky when he finally leaves the cat's body.
She looks patiently at him when he approaches her, and the bland expression never changes once. When he lies down, her slender hands gently caress his face, tenderly smoothing out the sharp lines that etch his face from exhaustion and stress. He doesn't say anything, merely closes his eyes and inhales slowly, enjoying the sweet aroma of roses that surround them both.
It's almost funny how she always seem to carry a smell of roses with her, he thinks.
Infrequently they end up like this. When he rests his head tiredly on her lap, it was then when she would delicately, so delicately, touch his face, or run her hands tentatively through his hair. It never happens often, merely sometimes. And only when he is particularly tired enough not to notice their closeness or care.
The heavy scent of roses begins to itch his nose and he sneezes slightly, nestles his head a little closer against her without really realizing what he is doing. She does though, and the smile lingers gently on her face as she gives him a sidelong glance. He pretends to ignore her when she plants a light kiss on his frowning brow.
"Where do you get these lines?" she asks quietly, and he feels her gently touching the carved marks around his eyes with the tips of her fingers.
He doesn't bother to tell her the lines on his face are a result of possessing another body for so long. He also fails to mention that living inside the body of a creature for so long constantly drains at his energy.
Because in peaceful times like this, the best thing to do is enjoy the moment's rest, the scent of roses, and the quiet harmony they share together.
Thank you all for the reviews. I'll be sure to write drabbles for anyone who requested a pairing, however be warned they may not be all fluff, or happiness. This drabble probably makes no grammatical sense, and I didn't really intend it to.
