more than i imagined

Waking up came a bit quicker once she caught whiff of breakfast. She continued to stretch out and pull herself into the waking world, resisting the all-powerful urge to curl up completely against him and let his larger form practically engulf her own. Some days it was more difficult than others to convince herself to rise and begin her day, when lying here with Song was so painfully tempting. She returned the grin with one of her own, slight but true as she continued to slowly shake sleep from her form. Before long she twisted around onto her belly to face him better and see what he had brought her for food.

"My knight in shining armor," she sighed wistfully. The truth was that she would never depend on another again, so long as she could help it, especially not to keep herself fed. But she knew the act was out of kindness rather than necessity, and she appreciated the gesture anyway. "What would I do without you?" Grinning a little wider now, she moved to begin to tear into the food he'd brought her, deciding that there was no way she'd rather wake up as long as she lived. This life was so different than her own one and though she knew winter would soon arrive she didn't doubt with Song by her side that they'd continue to thrive.
