( And more fluff!

:the RNLI comes to rescue Seigi from the sea of fluff: )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where am I?

I don't know.

What can I smell?

My perfume and shampoo. Also sweat and aftershave.

What can I hear?

Breathing. My heartbeat, and someone else's.

What can I see?

My bed, and my room. It's dark, but there is a sliver of light coming from underneath the door.

What can I feel?

Softness and warmth. It feels like there are arms wrapped around me.

Wait a minute. Arms wrapped around me? Why can I feel that? And why can I hear and smell someone else?

Because there's someone in my bed with me.

Murrue snapped to full wakefulness in alarm. Why was there someone with her? She twisted around in the mysterious embrace, and came face to face with a sleeping man. A man with long blonde hair and a very handsome face, only marred by a livid scar stretching across his nose and cheekbones.

Neo Lorrnoke? Why would I...wait. Realisation hit her suddenly, followed by a surge of pure happiness.

No, not Neo, Mwu. My Mwu. He came back to me...

She smiled and laid her head on the pillow beside him. Last night had been wonderful. She remembered that after their reunion in Archangel's hangar bay, she'd had to go back to the bridge. The battle had ended, but there was still the aftermath to take care of, as well as everyone's ceasefire declaration. As a result, it had been several hours before she was able to escape and go off shift. During that time, the bridge crew had been stifling giggles seeing their normally calm and collected Captain so fidgety and impatient.

After she had made her getaway, she'd rushed back down to the hangar and flown straight into his arms.

Hands entwined together, she and Mwu had made their way to the deck where the officers' quarters were located. She had been furtively glancing around the whole time to make sure no-one was watching them, and Mwu had laughed at her.

"What are you doing that for?"

She kept looking around them, blushing. "What if someone sees us?"

He just laughed. "Come on, Murrue. Everyone knows about us. Why would it matter if someone saw us?"

She looked up at him and sighed. "You're right, but still..."

"I know. Since you're so worried about that, let's give them something to really talk about"

"Mwu! What are you..." Murrue was cut off as he pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. Her cheeks flamed red at the thought that someone could come around the corner any second, but gradually that worry disappeared at the feel of his lips on hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

After their kiss, he grinned boyishly. Reaching the corridor which held the officers quarters, they stopped outside the closest room, which was her own. She tapped in the code to open the door, then he grabbed her and pulled her inside, locking the door behind them.

And after that...Murrue blushed a little, remembering the next part of their reunion, which had left them very tired, but very happy indeed.

Turning her head to the left, she studied the face of her lover as he slept. The scar on Mwu's face had long since ceased to bother her. He was every bit as handsome with it as without it. Besides, she had fallen in love with him because of who he was, not what he looked like. Although, the fact that he was gorgeous didn't hurt a bit...

She reached out and ever so gently began to trace the path of his scar with a finger, trying not to wake him.

Unbeknownst to Murrue, Mwu had been awake for quite a while. He had woken up surprised, much as she did, only to smile as the memories rushed through his mind. He had laid there pretending to be asleep, revelling in the smell of her perfume and the feel of her gentle breath on his face. At the touch of her fingers, he opened his blue eyes, and smiled at her, his heart skipping a beat when she smiled back.

"Good morning, beautiful. Sleep well?" he asked softly

Murrue giggled a little. "Eventually.." she murmured in reply, her cheeks pinking.

"Yeah, well. sorry about that. I probably tired you out. But you seemed to enjoy it"

Mwu's comment made her blush deepen, and he smiled and pulled her further into his embrace.

"I did enjoy it.." she finally whispered.

"Well, now everything's all right again, we can be together as much as you like. Funny thing is, that if I hadn't got my memories back, I was planning to ask you out anyway."

Murrue looked up at him. "Really?"

"Yep. I'd been in love with you for quite a while, but didn't know when I'd be able to tell you. I figured that after the battle, I'd finally be able to let you know. But, as it turned out.."

He sighed happily as she snuggled close to him and laid her head on his shoulder, herdark hair tickling his face.

"That's nice to know" she replied. "By the way, I have to go on shift in about an hour."

Mwu wrapped his arms more firmly around her. "So do I. But that's not for an hour. What shall we do until then?"

He heard her sweet laughter. "I take it, Colonel, that you have some ideas?"

Lifting her head from his shoulder, he brought her face close to his.

"Oh, you know, this, and that..." he whispered, and kissed her. The kiss deepened as she immediately returned it, encircling his neck with her arms, bringing herself even closer.

The two lovers had been reunited at last, and now that the war was over, their life together was about to begin. A life that would be filled with happiness.
