It was sometime past midnight and raining outside, hard against the roof and glass windows which made it slightly chilly out. It had been a nice dinner and then a nice evening watching a movie together on the sofa and then things had been nice afterwards as well. Everything was just...nice.
"Seven months"
Tararyn closed her eyes and yawned softly, nuzzling into Fred's side as she rested her head on his shoulder, her hand curled up under his jawbone, trailing through the hair at the back of his neck slowly.
"Took so long..." she murmured in reply.
"It was enjoyable along the way though right?" Fred asked sleepily, his hand trailing up and down her bare back as he savoured the feeling of fulfilling contentment.
"The best seven months of my life." she assured him as she cuddled closer, smiling as he kissed her forehead.
"Not just saying that so I don't turn you blind again?" he joked, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the feeling of her fingers winding through his hair.
"That was kinda fun." she shrugged and pressed closer to him. "Only because I knew it was only for a while though"
"It lasted two weeks." he replied dryly. "Weren't you ever worried after a while that it might never come back"
She was silent for a moment before she kissed his shoulder. "You stayed by my side for it all, so I wasn't scared. ...I knew if it become apparent that my sight wasn't coming back then you and your brother would have jumped straight into figuring out a cure"
Fred paused at this and then wrapped his other arm around her protectively. "...I started researching." he murmured. "The next day when I found out it hadn't come back still overnight." he touched her hair softly and then kissed her lips. "I was worried that I had hurt you"
"I was fine," she blushed slightly at his obvious care.
"...You weren't exactly." he disagreed gently. "Your eyes were sightless and they're usually bright and, well, not to use such an overused word, but, they sparkle. And during that time you just looked blind...your eyes looked scared, and you never quite looked at who or what you meant to..." he kissed her tenderly once again, curling around her as she muled this over.
"...Maybe I was scared, but only because I might never see...things again. Say if Minya and George had a baby together," they both chuckled at the thought. "Then I may never see that..." she held his hand up to her lips and kissed it gently before yawning sleepily again. "That's the only thing I was scared about really...I know a lot of people, most people, would deal with being blind a lot worse than I would...I had you, that's enough for me"
They mused silently for a long moment, before Fred hugged her close. "...Seven months hey"
"To the day." she agreed, and with one last kiss, they fell asleep in each others arms.
