Prompt: "I can't do this anymore."
Pairing: Jacin x Winter
Jacin stood outside of the Princess' room. Outside of Winter's room. She'd come out to visit with him again, as she always did, keeping him company on his lonely night shifts until he ultimately shooed her away. Now that he'd been stationed as her personal guard, his tortured thoughts strayed to Winter even more than he'd ever thought possible.
He thought about how she might be sleeping—if her thick curls fell across her face or if she brushed them away, if she slept on her back or on her side, if she was dreaming of him.
Stars. He was turning into such a sentimental sap. He knew she was thinking about him. She'd just told him so when she'd visited. Like she did every night. He wanted to be in that room. With Winter. With the girl he'd been in love with for so many years.
"To hell with it," he muttered. "I can't do this anymore."
Jacin burst into her room. Winter shrieked, but he shushed her.
"Is everything okay, Jacin?" she asked, climbing out of bed as he marched towards her.
"Everything is perfect," he said. He reached his Princess and pulled her into a tight embrace, which at first elicited another shriek from Winter, followed by a look of comprehension. Then he kissed her with as much passion as he could muster.
