Nightmares in Shatter

[will_scarlett]

He woke biting his lip to keep from screaming and shivered in bed for a while.

Marley still slept so he stood up, pulling the blanket around him as his scars felt like they were on fire and somehow got out to the hallway.

The world is dark and close and he shivers and trembles and tries not to fall to pieces.

She smiled back, and reached up to fiddle with some of his hair. Staring at how the red looked in between her fingers idly. Just felt very comfortable and content here with him.

[will_scarlett]

"Thank ye for trustin' an lovin' me, Kate."

He finally says as he makes her comfortable in his arms and feels sleep coming soon.

"You're welcome," she nuzzled against him. "Thank you for accepting and loving me, Will." Her breathing was calm, and her eyes half closed.

[will_scarlett]

He just smiles again and hugs her before falling asleep rather quickly.

For once he sleeps with no nightmares and when he wakes, pulls the warmth of her close to him.

Then he opens his eyes and his breathing speeds up as he realizes they're both naked, he remembers with joy last night but what if she doesn't.

So he just stays very, very still and waits for her to wake.

She started to stir, and sleepily blinked her eyes open. Her mind was still muddled with sleep so the nakedness got a quizzical, "hmmm?" Naked but very warm, why? Oh, naked man here.

...Naked man???

She did briefly startle, but then relaxed when she noticed Will. "Oh, hi... you're here." Which means they... oh! oh wow. Right. But she didn't regret this, it just seemed natural with him really.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, I am."

Once she relaxes, he smiles down at her and kisses her gently,

"Thank ye, Kate."

"Thank you, Will. Love you." She kissed him back and settled against him again. "You're very comfortable, you know that?"

[will_scarlett]

"Do my best."

He strokes her hair with a smile, this just feels right.

She settled in again, "Not in a hurry to get up yet are you?"

[will_scarlett]

"Oh nay, 'less tis a request than might be able to see what I can do."

That wicked grin has not been ever seen before in Shatter but oh it might get comfortable here.

No... it really hasn't, and it was a surprise to Kate. But it did suit him actually. Pretty sexy actually.

There was a raised eyebrow from her, "...Oh? Got some ideas?"

[will_scarlett]

Her question makes him blush and the grin falter for a moment,

"Only if ye wish."

And here's something she hadn't been doing much of over here either, but that's likely to change too.

Kate chuckled and patted his cheek, "Maybe for another time then?"

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, till 'nother time."

Then Kate gets kissed, not fiercely but truly.

"Mmmm," she agreed as she kissed back, relaxing again.

[will_scarlett]

"Ye taste lovely."

Its not what he meant to say but its quite true.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"...." Now she was the one blushing.

[will_scarlett]

"Yer kisses was all."

He loves to see her blush and just kisses her again, words just aren't working.

She wasn't sure about that, but did kiss him back contently. Happy for them to linger here a little longer.
