First day at mobile six, Nanoha's POV
Something about this made me happy. It wasn't the new recruits that I trained today; not that was a differnt kind of happy. It wasn't the meal that I ate with all my friends, together for the first time in ages... No, that was still differnt. Was it the fact that I had a home again? No, that never really mattered to me. Wherever I was, was my current home. You learn that after being drafted so many times. So what was it?
I wanted to ask you, but I held it in for some reason. Your eyes were happy as well, something that caused me to look at them again and again during the time we spent together here in this large room. Was it you...? Yes, that is what it was. You were smiling. That was what made me so happy. I didn't need a giant room, a comfy bed, a good meal, a steady home... I needed your smile. That was enough to please me.
You sat down next to me and simple looked over at my face. We havn't said anything in a while now but we really didn't need to. What could we say? It's been a while? Nice to see you again? Isn't this neat? Those words were a little pointless. We knew the answers already.
I felt your hand on mine, fingers interlacing between each other's. Why is it you always liked putting your palm on the top of my hand? I would never understand it, but I liked it so it was okay.
Why were you looking at me like that? Your eyes changed now...softer. Did you know I could tell? Read your emotions through your eyes? I can. Right now you were saying 'I'm glad you are next to me' with them. Silly girl, I was always next to you.
You moved closer, free hand touching my back as you laid me down on the bed. The long missed gentle weight of your body pressed softly on me, your hair falling from your shoulders and onto my neck. Were you going to make love to me? Gentle hugging, soft whispering of words I didn't fully hear but understood deep in my heart.
You loved me, just as I loved you. I've known that for years now, and I felt no need to stop the actions. Instead I welcomed them. Your gentle kissing, the constant embracing, softly spoken words of adoration. Your hand never left mine, no matter what. Always holding, embracing my as if you say that you were there.
Our motions never sped up, never became frantic like people say they do. Always caring, each touch a wonder of new sensations. It was amazing, Fate. I could feel the meaning in everything. The love we shared, the emotions we held, the feelings that always stayed.
When it was over you didn't move away from me. Instead your body stayed above mine, sweat rolling down your neck. When had we become so hot? Had our breath always come out in puffs? I never noticed, your eyes had kept my focus. In them I heard everything you would have wanted to say. You loved me this much? Yes, I love you too, so much that simple words wouldn't do it justice. Can you see it in my eyes, Fate? Right now, under you, basking in the afterglow of our gentle lovemaking?
Yes, you could tell. I know you can, why would I even ask? Your lips found mine again, body slowly decending to rest on me. Your hair was tangled around my arms, my hands never once leaving your back save the one holding onto you. I love your hair, Fate, almost as much as your eyes.
Again you whispered to me, wishing me a goodnight and holding me closer. Your hand found it's way back to the top of mine and held softly but firmly at the same time. Yes, I was happy. Because you were here. Because you smile. Because you love me.
And I love you too.
