Julie woke up slowly, the bed was warm, the sheets smelled clean and fresh and she had slept so well she simply didnt want to get up. When she opened her eyes it was dark in the room. Snake eyes lay on a mat on the floor a few feet away from the bed. Hes was sleeping, his mask was off and he was facing her. She could see from here the deep scaring on his cheeks, the line that was drawn from his left eyebrow all the way down to his chin. She had expeced worst, when Tommy had told her about the accident. She was glad to see she could still regocgnise the features of the man sleeping in front of her.
Slowly and quietly she tried to get up. But the master ninja hears all and he stired on his mat, sat up and flashed her a beautifull grin. He signed a good morning to her, and she replied in kind. He seemed suprised, but happy that she understood him. Slowly he got up and joined Julie on the bed. Put his arm around her and held her tight one more time. Julie had to admit, she loved that. She had missed him so much, this was a welcome change from her usual life. Snake eyes turned his face towards her and kissed her gently, he still had the same smell she remembered, the same soft touch. SHe looked in his eyes , those deep blue eyes and found what shed been missing for so long. Her hand came up to his face and traced the long line dividing his face. He turned away, not wanting her to look to closely at his scars. Julie gently pulled his face towards hers. " this, she said, could never change how i feel aout you. All i see is the face of the man i love, his eyes, his laugth lines. Thas all you Snake" And she kissed him. He let her. letting himself melt in her touch. Enjoying the feeling of her hands on his face. Her lips on his. " I love you " he mouthed silently. Julie wasnt sure how to answer, shed been in love with this man for over 20 years. Hed been her first love, her first lover, and the only man shed ever truly loved.
"youre the only man ive ever loved" she replied softly. "liar" he answered silently. SOftly he pushed her down on the matress, laying himself on top of her, feeling her small body underneath his bulging muscles. He kissed her hard, passionatly and slowly worked his way to getting her bare. Julie didnt fight it, shed been hoping for this kind of reunion. Wishing hed take her back easilly. Never thinking hed still love her. Never thinking hed still want to be with her.
They spent most of the day in bed. Getting to know each other all over again. Apreciating each others company. For dinner, Snake eyes ordered in, and for the rest of the evening they sat in the living room telling each other about their lives. Catching up on important events. talking about the past together, and maybe, hoping for a future together. That night she spent in Snake eyes arms. In the morning, when she woke up he was already gone. Hed told her about an early meeting. And she knew her team was coming early as well...
