Of Dreams and Dragons

I ran my fingers gently through his soft hair, humming softly as I gazed lovingly down at him. I had his head resting on my lap, nearly putting him to sleep with my actions as I basked in this wonderful moment. He had his eyes closed, arms resting over his stomach as his wings rested comfortably beneath him. My own draped down and brushed against the ground, paling in comparison to his beautiful ones but I didn’t mind. Not at all.


I adored spending time with him and I couldn’t help but smile more as I continued to gaze down at him, watching him as he slept. It seems I had actually put him to sleep. Ke’sarai was observing from the shadows as usual, while Nek and Resh were off spending time together once more. Le’neh was even spending some quality time with his own mate, who was named Kari'nakash'ar, but we called her Naka for short. So, it was still more or less like it was just Adrael and I.


I sighed softly in bliss, ceasing in humming in order to do so. I removed my fingers from his hair, gently moving a wisp of the soft locks from his face absently. It was peaceful around us and I loved it. I soon got lost in thought and didn’t realize when his eyes suddenly fluttered open and he smiled sleepily up at me. For some odd reason, I happened to look down and I snapped out of my thoughts at seeing he was awake. I smiled back and gently brushed a finger against his cheek fondly.


“Hello, sleepyhead,” I said, teasing him gently as I giggled softly. I was always laughing, since I really had no reason to be sad, at least not yet. It was rare that I got sad. He chuckled and raised a hand, brushing his fingers against my cheek and I sighed softly, leaning into his touch. “Hello,” He said at last, smiling gently up at me as he watched me in mild amusement.


“Did you sleep well?” I asked, wrapping my smaller hand around his larger hand, rubbing my thumb gently against his skin. “Of course. I always sleep easier when you’re around, my love.” At his words, I felt my heart skip a few beats and I smiled suddenly like a fool, unable to help myself. He was always amazing me. Suddenly a thought popped into my head, and I frowned slightly. Sensing something was wrong, he frowned as well and squeezed my hand gently. “What’s wrong, Eliah?”


“I was just thinking….” I murmured vaguely, lifting my gaze to stare up at the sky. Confused, he pushed himself up into a sitting position and turned to face me, never letting my hand go. “About what?” He pressed, gently trying to coax me into spilling my thoughts to him.


“It’s silly…. But….” I trailed off again, still being vague as I continued to stare up, not focusing my gaze on him. He blinked, more than confused now. He leaned forward, gently making me look at him. “But what?“ I smiled at him, unable to help myself as I giggled softly. “How about this. Let’s make a promise, Adrael!” He blinked, eyebrows knitting together in confusion. “A promise? What kind? I don’t understand.” I giggled at the confused look on his face. “If we ever go to Earth… and we’re separated, let’s make a promise. To find each other, no matter what. So, we can never be apart. Okay?” He stared at me for a long time before he smiled. “All right.” I smiled more, tilting my head. “So, it’s a promise?” He nodded and leaned closer. “It’s a promise.” And with that, he kissed me gently, sealing the deal.
