The Swan and The Knight

Pt.3

Ahiru awoke in a condition of warmth she opened her eyes slowly slight light was pouring into the room she was in. She went to stretch but hit a form which immediately grumbled lowly. She gasped and clumsily scooted away and stared bewildered at a mans form. She looked about the room and realized she must have been brought here. It was a large room but primarily empty. She slipped out of the bed and went around to see the mans face. She gasped again as she saw that it was the man named Fakir. She smiled a bit and found herself feeling rather relieved and happy it was him.

She went on a small exploration looking over his notes and papers she eventually got into a mess and became covered in ink. She started cleaning up her mess when two feet appeared before her eyes she slowly got up. Her hands black and blotches on it on her clothes and a nice little spot on her nose. Fakir's face was stern but as he saw the ink on her nose he started to smile then burst out laughing. She stared dumbfounded looking this way and that unsure of what to do. When he stopped he grabbed some clothes and helped her clean up and then wiped the smudge from her nose.

"Uhmmm thank you so very much I was not meaning to snoop I was.." she stopped and blushed she felt so guilty. He just smiled lightly and nodded to her. "It's okay I mean I stole you away and brought you here…without your permission" she realized that was actually very true and laughed. He loved her laugh it was so sweet and innocent and gentle. "Ahiru…I feel like…we know each other…" he stared down as he said these words and was surprised when she agreed. "Yeah…me too…" she stared out his window at the common people walking below.

He sighed and ran his hand through his dark hair and walking off. "Are you hungry…thirsty??" She stared out the window before responding some time later. "Oh yes actually…I like raw fi…." She stopped and realized she was not a swan any longer. "Uhmm anything is fine…" she finally blurted out her face turning red from her small slip. She heard pots and pans and her senses picked as she began to smell all kinds of things. This made her leave his room and wander to the kitchen where he was cooking some eggs, bacon, and sausage and adding some fruits to the plate. She smiled and felt her tummy growl as she eyed the food.

"Here you go" He set her out a nice plate and she smiled taking it and eating as much as she could. She finished long after he had and washed her own plate and cleaned her mess. Even though he insisted he help she would not let him. He could not tear his gaze from her. She was so beautiful and his heart seemed to beat just for her. His usual cold demeanor melted while he was with her and all he could see was his lips tasting her tears. He found himself having to seek privacy to shake the feelings that would bubble up.

He was glad now that he had several days off from his duties because he could spend them with her. But he faced a new problem…did she like him? He could not tell she acted so innocent and never seemed to give off hints or flirt. He had a new mission…Mission: Seduce Ahiru. He decided that the first plan would be to take her through town then to the gardens there he would put step one into action. First true kiss he shuddered at the thought and tucked it away in his mind. "Ahiru….I was hoping…maybe you would like to see the town…" she looked up from a book she had started to scan and smiled. "Of course!" She seemed very excited and that made him feel happy and light hearted.

The day went well and he found himself smiling more and laughing for once. They visited almost every shop and spent a good chunk of the day talking to many villagers. Ahiru insisted that this was the best day of her life and by the look in her eyes he figured that was true. He could not focus on much when she spoke other than her lips which he realized were beyond perfect. He smiled lightly as she spoke of how much she wished she had been in this town sooner and nodded not truly listening. Ahiru must have noticed at some point because she suddenly stopped talking and gave him an odd stare. "Fakir?? You okay??" He nodded quickly blushed and looked away.

There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you

"Yeah …fine lets uhmm go to the park okay" he put on a small smile and she nodded walking beside him her warmth made him shiver. He lightly reached out to take her hand but then decided against it afraid she would reject his advances. Your being a coward Fakir just hold her hand. He grumbled to himself and she looked over confused at his recent attitude. He was surprised and shocked when she beat him to his goal and took his hand lightly in her own holding it gently as she swayed their hands back and forth smiling. He stared for a moment before bending forward and kissing her softly on the lips. At first she tensed up but he felt her relax and respond.

Why is it that this man I barely know makes me feel so light hearted so…in love. She melted into the kiss her whole body felt warm and fuzzy. She felt his hand leave hers and cup her face gently as his tongue probed her mouth she tasted sweet like strawberries. His hands moved down her neck and she shivered and let out a light sigh as they went down her sides. She was a bit shy at first but as his tongue made its way throughout her mouth she became more brazen. She probed his mouth the feel of his tongue entwining with her own occasionally sent a wave of pleasure through her. Her own hands made their way from his waist to his hair tugging lightly.

He drew back after what felt like an eternity but it was an eternity he did not want to leave. His eyes were staring into her own with passion and love. He stroked her cheek and kissed her once more softly before taking her hand and again making for the park. She followed unsure what to say her cheeks were red and her eyes downcast but there was a huge smile on her face. When they arrived at the park Fakir led her to the swings he sat on one and she sat on another. Their hands were still tightly held as they slowly swung back and forth their feet dragging. "Ahiru….I …I feel like we have known each other…before" she stared down at the sand and stopped swinging. "Fakir….I do too" was all she said before they both leaned over and kissed once more.

This kiss was similar to the first but far more tender and loving then passionate and lustful. When they drew back both smiled at the other and turned light pink in the cheeks. "Do you think…maybe we were in love in a past life?" he finally asked fidgeting with his feet kicking the sand about. "Maybe…but I think it's something more. I feel like we were in a more complicated …story" She was at odds on why she chose the word story it felt so right so correct. Fakir felt it as well the moment she said story he found himself nodding as if knowing it was a story. He tightened his grip on her hand and sighed "well I don't know what we might have been …in a past life in this life…but I…Love you..I don't know why I know but I do love you"

But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

Ahiru felt torn she could not say she loved him in return and it burned her on the inside. She saw his face as she merely smiled and nodded happily at his words instead of uttering them back to him. When they finally left the park they walked close together and his hand was around her waist. His warmth made her feel secure and truly happy she never wanted to be without that feeling. They got into his darkened house the sun having almost completely gone down. Fakir got into his night wear and gave Ahiru a large baggy shirt for herself. He turned around as she put it on but stole a quick peek turning bright red as he was almost caught. As he snuggled up behind her in bed placing light kisses on her neck he whispered the words he was yearning to hear from her before falling into a deep dream filled sleep.

"I love you..my Ahiru"
