Killian felt cold as he realized that he had no blankets covering him as he slept in the large bed in his quarters, that was meant for two, but had been occupied by one for quite a long time. He blindly searched for the blanket on the other side of the bed thinking that he must have kicked it off in the middle of night but found it missing. He raised his head a bit, still feeling tired as he saw that his blanket was curled up in a ball on the other side of the bed. protruding from that ball though was bright red hair. He got closer, to the blanket and noticed that it was a person, that had cocooned them self in his blanket. The person turned over and he saw the one face he had longed to see for quite some time.
"Ariel" he whispered at the sight of her as a small smile started to form on his face. Even though she was wrapped . in a blanket she was still shivering, from coldness. He didn't feel the need to wake her though, seeing that every time he would see her in his dreams she was always in distress while she was awake. She seemed so at peace now. He was afraid that if he woke her up now that all her happy dreams would be blown away by thoughts caused by her harsh reality and problems that made everyone see how unfair life really was. He never wanted her to encounter those types of thoughts. He liked seeing that light in her eyes, that light that showed him that she knew the impossible could be overcome and that adventure was out there.
The strange thing though about this situation was that never before had she been in his world in his dreams. Ariel shivered again as she pulled her legs closer to her and curled more into a ball. Killian smiled at her as he laid back down and slid his arm underneath her pulling her close to him. Her head cradled perfectly into his neck as she relaxed a bit and stretched out her legs. He smiled a bit as he winced when he felt her icicles for feet rub up against his legs.
"Bloody hell woman, you sleep in an icebox?" he joked to himself not really caring about his uncomfortableness. He watched as her arms wriggled out of there cocoon and wrapped themselves around his chest, making Ariel pull herself closer to him. They were so close together now that Killian felt their hearts beat in sync together.
She has a heart now. How can that be? Killian wondered but merely pushed the thought aside as he lowered his face down into her red hair and closed his eyes as he enjoyed this moment. For being a dream this had been one of the most realistic and fantastic dreams he had ever encountered. He felt a slight tickling sensation against his neck as he realized Ariel was waking up now and trying to blink out the tiredness in her eyes. Killian let out a hollowed sigh, knowing that his dream was ending now. He placed a small kiss on the top of her head and waited for the familiar pulling sensation he usually felt whenever he would wake up from these dreams but it hadn't occurred yet. Ariel let go of him and pulled away, sitting up now as she surveyed the area. Killian backed away from her as he searched her eyes for some sort of sense of frightfulness, remembering what the hatter had told him earlier about her reaction to him might be if she ever saw him. When her eyes landed on him he stood still and waited for something to happen. He had expected her to run away but instead she just sat there looking him up and down as she tried to control her breathing. Killian knew that what he was about to do next would be going to far but he had to try. He scooted closer to her and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and let his hand stay on her cheek. He felt tears roll down Ariel's cheek as she turned her face into his hand and kissed his palm and placed her's on top of his and their eyes connected.
"Ariel?" he had to ask. She sniffled and then threw her arms around him making them topple off the bed in a mess of pillows,blankets, and laughter. Killian sat up after they had staid on the floor for a moment drinking each other in with their eyes and just savoring the fact that they were together again.
AND THAT'S IT FOR NOW!
