Continuing the current RP-plot
Deep in the depths of sleep, a nightmare building in his mind, Slade half-noticed movement that did not fit the dreams, sounds that were not the ones of batt--
Instead, there was solid, strong warmth against his back, against his chest... His senses all said he was safe, and the nightmare that had been trying to build was chased away by gentle, known, familiar hands, and light voices that reassured him. He half-woke, looked, and settled into sleep again, without ever fully coming to grips with his surroundings change.
It would be several hours more before he would start to wake again, and that not due to nightmares, but more because his body simply would not let him sleep longer.
Not that his conscious mind was engaged yet. No, only the senses and instincts spoke, telling him of familiar scents against his chest, his back; familiar sounds of beloved heartbeats and breath; feel of his wife in his arms and his partner behind him.... //Dreaming... I have to be..//

He had her in his hands, up in his arms to kiss her, before he'd realized more than the sound. God, he hadn't heard that in decades, and all he could do was kiss her again.

Not something I want to think about now, with the water soaking my hair, slipping between us to slick skin and Slade's hands so big on me. One more easy thing to kiss him back, one hand fisted in his hair to keep him here, wrapping my legs around his waist to get a little leverage.

He pulled out of the kiss with a toss of his head and looked down at green eyes, "I love you, Adeline."

Date: 2008-07-01 02:33 pm (UTC)Not that she hadn't said it a hundred times this morning, the last night, with the fierceness of her protectiveness and every action after, but to hear her say it, mean it, without the fury and hurt loaded under the words, and her hatred just behind it...
He kissed her again, holding her close in against his body.
