Themyscira

Princess Diana of Themyscira sighed as she leaned against her balcony, staring out over the sea. Then, she closed her eyes for a moment.

"Hmmm...Excuse me, Miss? I know a certain Princess that's not one to be down and gloomy. Where can I find her?"

Diana's eyes shot open and she gasped looking up.

"Kal!? What are you doing here?"

"Well I was in the neighborhood..." he paused and laughed seeing her confused look.

"It's an expression, Di. But seriously, I was done with my usual round the world patrol and was going to head to the Fortress but did a detour to here. I hope you don't mind. I just wanted to spend quiet time with you...you know...if you are up to it and all. I mean if your mother doesn't mind either...or your sisters?" Kal then chuckled and ran his fingers nervously through his hair. "I'm sorry for rambling..."

Diana smiled and shook her head. "No...no...I'm glad you're here, Kal. And you know my mother and sisters don't mind. When knowing you're here, they know and respect our time alone."

He flew closer and sat on the edge of the rail.

"So what's wrong?"

"Nothing really. It's a quiet day, nothing to do. I didn't exactly have an idea on what to do..."

"Ah, well I knew I had a feeling of something," his mouth twisted into a gentle, yet somehow almost flirty, smile looking down at her. "I think I can make good company. Whatever you want to do, I'm all for it."

Diana smiled back and blushed.

Oh, those eyes of his. Those soft, ocean blue eyes that had always captivated her, making her feel as if nothing else mattered and time had stopped. Those eyes that made her forget all about the worries and stresses for a while. So soothing and calming to her.

Those eyes that had seen it all, had seen her at her best and worst, had seen her smile and her tears. Those eyes that had followed her everywhere, ever since she had came to Man's World and had never left her, accompanying her everywhere she went. Those eyes that always glinted when she looked his way.

Those eyes that showed who he truly was, even though no one else realized it. Those eyes in which she wished to drown, those eyes she aspired to have never leave her alone and to always protect her. Those eyes that couldn't belong to anyone but him.

And then there were times when the intensity in his eyes was so present that it made it increasingly difficult for her to breathe. Like at this moment.

"Di?"

"Oh...yes?"

Kal turned and got off the railing to stand on the balcony with her. As he wrapped his arms around her from behind, Diana tensed, overcomes with this inexplicable feeling that curls around her chest and soars up to the skies. But she soon relaxed places her arms over his.

Her body fitting so perfectly against his, like they were always meant to be this way. And in moments like this, it was a wonder how they didn't realise before their fates had always been intertwined. Kal tightened his embrace. His soft lips ghosting teasingly along her neck like a flowing river to her bare shoulder.

"Kal..."she breathed out slowly.

"Hmm?" He questioned then kissed her cheek.

Diana let her head fall back against his shoulder. She closed her eyes again enjoying the feeling of Kal holding her, and the feelings running through her mind and body.

With the warm sun and relaxing breeze, they looked perfect, standing there together; happy, content, nothing in the world to disturb them.

"There's something on your mind. I can feel it. What is it?" he whispered.

"How did you know?"

"I know the ways of my best friend."

Diana smiled. "There's this...certain man from the stars. He knows me. I don't have to say much of anything if at all. But he's always there with me at the right times."

Diana turned around in his tight embrace and buried her face in his chest. She felt how his heart was beating and felt his hands stroking her back.

"Because...I love you, Diana."

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat when she heard him. She looked up at him into those mesmerizing eyes of his.

The moment she felt a pair of warm lips press against her, she didn't know how to react, but when Kal cupped her cheek, she felt herself giving in as the passion flowed from those lips. The taste of desire. Sweeter than anything they'd ever had in their entire existence.

Diana buried one of her hands into his hair, causing the kiss to deepen. They were now slipping away from reality into pure bliss.

The two broke apart for much needed air, Kal gently placed his forehead against hers, and Diana could see his eyes darken with lust and passion.

"Diana," he whispered hotly against her lips before claiming them once more.

Without breaking their kiss, Kal picked her up bridal style carrying her back into her room. Once he felt his legs hit the bed, he gently laid down with Diana still in his arms, and the two continued their heated make out.

Their mouths moved together perfectly in sync with the other, while their tongues gliding smoothly over one another. They were both happy like this, plus no one was disturbing their moment together.

"I love you, too, Kal" she breathed.

Kal looked down at the woman in his arms, with a beaming grin pulling her closer and kissed her all over her face, making her laugh. Diana possessed such perfection, loveliness, and above all, the place in his heart that none but she could fill.

"It makes my day to see you smile and hear you laugh, Di. I know that we have days when things seem a bit rough but-"

"But we can always make the best of it. Like today, just being...together."

Kal nodded. "Yeah..." He took her hand and place it over his heart. "Together."

The two gazed into each other's eyes affectionately, silent words of love being shared between the two. Glad to have each other, glad to have fallen for each other. Kal then leaned down to capture Diana's lips in a soft kiss. The two then cuddled, simply holding one another.
