See You Again

They say never in a thousand years, Do we shed the tears, Do we know the price of war. Forever and a single day, will it end this way. I never ask you for more. Didn't have the words to say, Like a child at play. You are the one I adore. Spread your wings into the sky, As you say goodbye. You make me come back for more. - IAmI

Soft, wet licks were felt stroking across my left cheek as my eyes began to open. I felt my body wrapped around by an all too familiar and comforting entity. I only lighltly laughed and smiled as I opend my eyes completely. No sooner did the licking stop and was soon replaced by the same presence that ran up against the side of my face. The purring being irreistable. Almost mesmerizing, even. It only lasted for so long until I felt another lick across my face that made it's way over to my lips. Without hesitation, I opend my mouth and dove in, closing my eyes that barely got to see the light of that day thus far. Nothing was said, but everything was felt.

She was everything I needed.

Her breathing matching my own. Her everlasting lust of desire and wanting. It settled within me and took over all that I had known about. None of it mattered. I wanted to forget everything that had happened before and only focus on what's happening now. That was only proven to be right as she got on top of me and placed both paws on each side of my face as I did to hers. Both of us opening our eyes to see each other for the first time that day.

I only smiled in response to her beautiful face. Working my paws across her face and behind her ears, fiddling with her earings on her right ear as I did so, and gently scratching behind her ears. I knew she loved it when I did that due to how strongly she purred to the feeling.

I then pulled myself up and brought my head around her face and proceeded to give her multiple licks down her neck. Her ears began to twitch at the sudden feeling as I began to stroke the other side of her neck as well.

We then topple over onto the cavern floor with me resting on top of her. Yet, I didn't stop pleasuring her. I kept licking and kissing her neck as she lied there, letting me do whatever I wanted to her.

And I would let her do the exact same to me.

"You're so adorable, Diego." She giggled and laughed at what I was doing. Her words only encouraged me to get more into what I was doing. I stopped with her neck and brought my face back in line with hers. She seemed as though she was about to say something as we both stared into each other's eyes. Just by looking into her beautiful and perfect blue eyes, it made me want to tell her so many things. Things that I may have told her on numerous ocassions time and time again. Things that got her to fall for me. Things that got me to fall for her. When I say these words, they change my life. They change my mind and the way I think. These words last forever on my skin in ink.

There was no chance that I could pull myself from these thoughts. Everything has just been so damn perfect. I never would have guessed it would happen. I'd often think of what it would feel like to have a half decent life back before she changed everything. I figured that it would feel good, but I was wrong. It feels so good that I just don't know what to do with myself. It's almost like wearing a mask. The second that negative thoughts attempt to control my thinking, my mind always rolls back to her. Thinking of her gets rid of all the negativity in not just myself, but everyone and everything else around me.

"Good morning to you, too, beautiful." I humored her. Yet, I was more serious than I've ever been with that last word. She was beautiful, no doubt. But that wasn't all that I loved about her. She was just so easy to talk to. She was always interested in anything I had to say. The second my mouth begins to open, she catches it and always immediately locks gazes with mine. I almost lose focus whenever she looks at me. But that's just the thing. It was obviously her eyes that I adored the most out of her physical features. I've brought the fact up time and time again, each time gettng her to blush and close her eyes and look away. She's always acted tough and dominate around the herd, but when she's alone with me and I mention in one way or another how absolutley perfect and amazing she is, it really pierces through her usual attitude. But I loved her for that. I sometimes wonder how she would respond if I were to tell her with the whole herd there to hear. Of course, I would never do anything to embarrass her like that.

As always, this time was no different as she quickley formed a deep red blush around her cheeks, closed her eyes and looked away, her lips curving and forming a smile.

"You think I'm adorable?" I humored her again, getting her to bury her head in her paws. It's funny, I never would have guessed that this was what she was really like. A soft little kitten. Truth be told, that's kind of how everyone is. You don't really know someone unless you want to know about someone.

Everyone makes assumptions about one another when they hardly know them. I've heard others talk behind her back, saying that she barely had a personality. What the hell does that even mean? Who knows. Nevertheless, no one knew who she was. I didn't know who she was. But I wanted to know. I spent time with her. I was there when she had no one else to be with. I was there on stormy nights where the thunder was at it's best. I wanted to be there for her when she needed someone. Very quickley, she opened up to me, and I opened up to her.

While she had her head on the floor and wrapped in her arms, I bent down next to her ear and whispered.

"I think you're more than just adorable."

Soon after, she raised her head from her paws and gazed up at me. It was almost hypnotic how she looked up at me. It was a look that was telling me that she understood me. She knew who I was and what I've always been trying to do.

Make her happy.

It was only proven more so as she sat up and showed no hesitation before leaning foward and indulging me in her kiss.

It's been like this everyday since she opened up to me. And I never asked her for more. Some one so beautiful. Someone so perfect. With me. Who'd have thought?

Our mouths slowly parted ways as we were left looking into each other with so much to say to the other.

"You know, Diego... I hope every day can start out like this... always."

"Believe me, you can count on it."

As I said this, I also thought about what we were going to do that day. I was already picturing it. The night before, I had thought about waking up early and going out for a morning hunt while she was still asleep. The suprise on her face would be all I need to start the day as I'd bring in a seven hundred pound carcass.

Suffice to say, it didn't happen. Most days have since been started by her loving warmth and comfort as she'd wake me up. I only felt the need to hold her close to me in means of returning the favor.

What we had. What we felt. What we did. It's all so special to me. We had this connection that I never thought I'd have with any living thing. Like there was something that I was missing. In the past, I felt as though that missing piece had something to do with myself. From the inside. I was wrong. It was from the outside. It was her.

As both of us were mesmerized by each other's gaze, I slowly brought a paw up to her lips and tugged a smile on her face.

She gave an amused look before giggling and stretching the smile further.

"Much better." I said as I ran my paw down her face.

She only blushed more so as I said this.

"You really are a little kitty cat." I added before running my tongue up her neck getting her to purr out of delight.

"Look who's talking, Softy."

"What? Am I not aloud to express my feelings?" I humored her.

"Of course you are. It's just that, everything you say... is so... soft."

I could do nothing but smile as she said these words. It was almost as if she felt soft herself.

"But you love me for that, don't you?" I continued to humor her.

She could only blush from my words. She was just so adorable. I could never have asked for anyone more special to be with.

"You do love me, don't you?" I asked her, almost in a serious manner. I knew her answer. It didn't have to be said, but I knew she was going to say it. I knew her well enough. Like me, she would never hold anything back.

I sat her down with me and placed my paw over hers.

"No matter what happens, I will never stop loving you, Shira. I want you to know that more than anything else."

What I was saying, what I was feeling, it was all so powerful. I've lived for so long without anyone close to me. No one was this close. Someone that I can share my thoughts with. Someone I can trust more than myself. Someone I can go to for comfort and affection. She was all of these things. She was my world.

"Diego... I'll tell you my answer..."

I only held her paw tighter and gazed at her harder as she began.

"But... first... I would like you to do something for me."

I was a bit thrown off, but did my best not to show it. What could she possibly have in mind? Why won't she just tell me, already? This just seemed so weird.

"I want you to wake up, Diego. It's time to wake up."
Wake up? What? What's she talking about?
"Shira, I..."

Before I could say anything else, my eyes shot open as I was left looking up at the cave ceiling. I stayed in that positon for a bit until I realized that I had woken up. I turned my head both ways, seeing no one else with me. I look back up at the ceiling, pondering my thoughts and the dream that had just taken place. I was always grateful for those dreams, having them turn up more than once.

I only smiled as I took a deep breath and closed my eyes once more.

"I will never stop loving you, Shira. I promised you that. No matter what happens."

I sat up, turning towards the cave's exit, and stared out into the bright morning world.

"Shira... I'll see you again."
