"Go to sleep."

"But It's my turn to clean up!" Daine protested.

"Go to sleep" her teacher said quietly.

Daine smiled quietly and went to her bed. Within minutes, she was asleep.

Numair sighed and looked at the beautiful girl- no, woman sleeping at the edge of the cave. The moon was shining on her hair in a way that made it seem like a halo. Her sweet angelic face smiled gently in her sleep. Her rich brown locks tumbled to her shoulders, and in that one moment, she looked as if all the worries in her life had vanished. The lines on the side of her mouth seemed insignificant compared to the look of peace and radiant aura.

He sighed and thought of the deep, deep, deep rut he'd gotten himself into. A few weeks before, he had found himself pining for her happiness. He would do anything for her. He felt sad, but happy when someone asked her out. Sad, because he didn't know why? Happy, because she was happy. Something was seriously wrong. He had found himself in the romance section in the library, a previously disliked and avoided part.

He found himself buying gifts for her. Not those flashy expensive gifts that he was known for buying, but roses and cards and ear bobs that he felt matched her eyes. He was worried at first, but then, his unexpected, unexplained, questionable and abnormal bliss caused him to forget all about his abnormal behavior.

Just last night, he had had a breakthrough. The outcome, pure horror, worry, and stuff he didn't even know existed. He was in love with his student. It was a mind blowing thought.

Just then, he was drawn out of his thoughts by Daine shifting around. He sighed. Pondering would have to be left to tomorrow. He was across the fire when he sat onto his mat, staring at the fire. He wondered of the outcome of this. Daine shifted around with a more unhappy look on her face. He gazed at her, hoping she wasn't having a bad dream.

"N'mair." She whispered. "help me." She mumbled. Numair was touched. She even called to him in her dreams. All the same, he walked over to her side with his mat.

"I'm here love." He whispered he said holding her hand. He squeezed it, so cold, so small in his large warm one. Her tense face muscles relaxed into a smile.

"Thanks Numair." She said and Numair shook his head grinning. Even in her dreams, she had her manners. But he missed the second part of that sentence. I love you.

He looked at her and tried to sleep. His hand was still enclosed over hers. Unconsciously, she cuddled into his chest, her head fitting perfectly under his chin. He felt slightly uncomfortable, well, inside. How would Daine react when she woke up in the morning? He sighed and gently placed her back on her side of the joint mat. But by then, Daine was awake. She sat quiet and listened, but missing those few words that would have changed her life, I love you so much magelet, so much more than life.

She turned around to find him string wistfully at the moon on his elbows. He hadn't seen her yet. She looked at his high elegant cheekbones and long black hair tied up into a horsetail. The moon made him seem mystical with an aura of godliness. She wondered he wasn't a god. He looked that good. His black eyes were full of compassion and love, and yearning. For what? He had everything he wanted. Wealth, A good home, A good job, all the women he wanted.

She was so sad. She wanted him because of his amazing lovingness and humor. His overbearing wit and clumsiness. His need for human company. His patience. His looks. Everything about him was perfect. She wasn't able to bear it anymore. She just turned around, a tear leaking out of her eye. Numair noticed. He wasn't that blur. "You ok magelet?"

"Yes." Came her short chocked answer.

Numair sighed. Daine knew it was time to make a move. She sat up and bent over him, curls curtaining over their faces. She gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. He seemed startled at first, frozen. But then he begun warming up and responded. This is wonderful, he is responding! She broke off, only just realizing the consequences.

"Sorry."

But Numair just brought her back onto him with a gentle hand at the back of her head. He kissed her thoroughly. "I love you magelet."

Daine smiled shyly. "I was hoping for that. I love you too Numair. You're my everything."

"You have no idea how long I have been waiting for that." Numair said.

"Oh I do Numair," she said and kissed the tip of his nose, "I do."
