Morning
It's warm here. Safe.
The stress of the last month are gone from his mind here. People are safe. The disease is gone. And at long last, after a month without any form of rest, he sleeps.
There are arms around him. Gentle. Feminine. He feels the arms embrace him, and the gentle rhythm of his partner's breath.
How long has it been since he was in a place like this? A very long time... years. So much time lost. So much time to make up for.
Consciousness oozes back like cool honey. His eyes slowly open, and he realizes that he's not at home. No... he was at Arisia's...
They... no, wait. No, they didn't.
Though he definitely isn't exactly dressed... and that's definitely Arisia, her arms wrapped around him, pressing against his back. She's awake... he can tell from her breathing.
And his breathing shifts, as he comes fully awake as well.
