You make me feel like I'm someone

There was a point in their struggle that Iroh thought that he wouldn’t ever see her smile again, he wasn’t sure that he would either. The fact that they were still together, they still had each other to cling to and support one another. Slowly the corners of their lips began to turn up again, and the love they shared shined through the sorrow. Elise was his everything, their grief would never go away but they still had each other and a long life ahead of them. There wasn’t anyone like this woman, she completed him in ways he hadn’t even known possible and as they recovered he was falling in love with her all over again. He held her tight and offered his sweet kisses as she leaned against him, needing his affection as much as he needed hers.

Iroh tasted her lips as she pressed hers to his, his cheek cupped in her pretty paw. He wanted to get lost in her, to forget what they lost and return to a more simple time. Back when all that really mattered was being together. He wrapped his arms around her and she shifted slowly as they kissed, eventually he held her against his chest as their bellies pressed together and her tangled himself around her thin frame. She held him back, her claws playing in the thick fur at his neck and tickling the skin beneath. Eventually she pulled back, just enough so he could gaze into her stunning blue eyes. He could breath her in, feel her heart beating heavily against her chest.

She spoke then, she spoke her deepest desire and he knew he couldn’t deny her. No matter what was going on in the background he could feel the need just as heavily as she did. They needed to take a trip, like they used to before tragedy struck. ”I know where.” He said without hesitation, leaning in and kissing her nose before untangling himself from her. What better moment than to start now? They would need a few supplies but they could be at the grove where they met by the evening. ”Just you and I..” He offered softly as he lifted himself to his paws. He stood frozen for a moment, caught in her gaze before his attention was on packing a bag for their adventure together.
