When I woke up in the morning, he was still there. My head was on his lap, his hand on my shoulder and he was still out.
He looked so cute!
I stayed like that until I saw him watching me.
"Good morning sleepy head!" I whispered, with a smile.
"Morning. . . How long have you been awake?"
"Um. . . I think half an hour to an hour."
His jaw dropped and I giggled.
"Why didn't you wake me up? Why did you just watch me sleep?" He ask me. I sat up, but ended up feeling a sharp pain in my side.
"I couldn't help it. . . You were so cute while you were asleep. Besides, you needed the sleep. Remember how you barely slept in my world?"
"I couldn't sleep because I wanted to go home." I smiled at him. This is the Dustfinger I always loved. I stood up on the bed, jumped off and went running for outside. When I was outside, I just stood there and let the sun shine down one me.
"Hey! You shouldn't have done that! You could have made it start bleeding again!" He yelled as he came running out after me, but he stopped when he saw what I was doing. I just stood there in the open sunlight. When I knew he was watching me, I turned around and smiled.
"Hi! I miss Farid. . . Can we go now?" I ask sweetly.
He sighed.
"Not yet. . . Not until Roxane says you can."
"I don't care what she says. It doesn't hurt so I'm fine. . . If you don't want to then fine, but I'm going to go see Farid." I told him as I opened the gate and started walking, more like marching.
"Lexi! Get back here!"
"Nope! If I have my way, I shall never come back here!" I said. My side was hurting, but I didn't care, I just kept on marching away. All of a sudden, though, I felt a hand on my should. I stopped and looked up at his face.
"At least let me either come with you or carry you. . . I don't want to go through that again." I gave him a great big grin and even giggled a little.
"I'm okay with that! I would be very glad to ride on your back!" He sighed, knelt down and let me on his back. I jumped on and wrapped my arms around his neck. He started to walk towards the camp. While I was humming the tune for 'Love Story', Dustfinger didn't say a word.
"If you don't anything, then I won't stop humming." I told him as I started to hum 'Safe and Sound.'
"You sure know how to make me talk, it gets kind of scary sometimes." I grinned at him. "So. . . What did you want me to talk about?"
I hugged his neck tighter.
"I don't know. . . Anything you want. . ." I whispered.
The truth was that I was happy just to be this close to him.
"Hm. . . Why don't you just love Farid and let it be that? I have Roxane and Brianna to worry about. I don't have time to worry or watch or even sneak around with you. Farid is also closer to your age then I am. So, just stop with me."
I never heard a word of what he just said or even what he was saying. I had my head laid in the middle of his back and my eyes were closed. I was daydreaming while listening to the birds sing they're songs. It was so lovely.
"Lulu! Answer me!"
"Huh? What?"
He sighed.
"Why is it that when I talk the way I want to, you listen but yell at me. When I talk the way you want me to, you daydream and I end up yelling at you."
"Dustfinger. . . Shut up."
"What? See! This always happens! You just tell me to shut up whenever I want to talk about this. . . I-"
"Dustfinger! Sh! Its not what you think! Just shut up because I keep hearing something." I whispered in his ear.
That did make him shut up. He also stopped walking.
"What do you hear?" He whispered, but I put one hand over his mouth.
"Sh! How many times so I have to say it? If you don't shut up then-" I didn't get to finish what I was saying because I heard something coming towards us, so I put my hands on his shoulders, gripped and pulled as hard as I could to make him move back. It really caused him to fall backwards on top of me.
Yes it hurts, but I'd rather be like this then having that arrow in me or him instead of sticking out of the tree that we were just standing in front of.
