A/N : Yet another one from Chelsea (DrMcQPS)! Lovely, I'd say. Now I wish they're insomniacs for real, then they'll be at it all night, every night.
Her hands were fidgeting. All of her was fidgeting actually. She couldn't sit still. She checked her email, the news, the weather, and the latest medical journals. She caught up on her magazine reading. Nothing worked. She couldn't sleep.
She sat outside for awhile; thinking. She wasn't depressed. Nothing was outright wrong in her life at the moment. Things could be better but they could also be so much worse.
She took a deep breath. Something about spring was so different than the rest of the year. The air smelled differently; it felt differently. This time of year she always felt like this. Maybe it was because everything was being reborn; maybe because she needed to feel reborn.
She snuck back into the trailer.
He was suddenly aware of her fingers trailing patterns on his arm. He felt her slide up behind him, wrapping one of her legs around him. He took an involuntary deep breath. He felt he chuckle a little. He was caught. She moved her mouth to his ear, breathing softly on him. He felt Goosebumps appear all over his body. He smiled as she gently tugged on his ear with her teeth.
He rolled onto his back to look at her. The moonlight shone on her face, softening her beautiful features. He raised his hand to sweep her hair back behind her ear. He smiled as she leaned into his hand. He wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled her in for a kiss.
"I'd forgotten how enjoyable your spring insomnia could be," he whispered.
"We've forgotten a lot of things," she replied with a pained expression in her eyes.
"I never forgot how much I love you."
"I love you Derek," she emphasized, gazing into his eyes.
He wrapped his arms around her and rolled her over.
They wouldn't sleep the rest of the night.
