More Dazzling than the Lights

Avacyn forgot all about where they were or even the fact that they were simply standing in the cold water of the sound as she gazed up at Saracyn adoringly, her mind still reeling from the kisses they shared and the sudden shift in their relationship. It wasn't like they weren't affectionate anyways, but not like this. This was very different from the usual nudge or bump or even the occasional times they would still cuddle like they did when they were pups. She was suddenly introduced to a far more intimate affection than she had ever experienced before and the rush of heated, tingling emotion that came with it was one of the best feelings she had ever experienced. Her head tipped to lean into his paw as it came up to brush over her cheek and ear, even that little affection making her heart skip in her chest. A grin still lingered on her muzzle as they stood there gazing into one another's eyes, but when she heard a rare giggle from her serious brother it made her grin widen even further as her chest swelled with happiness just from knowing how happy it had made him. She was always trying to find ways to keep her brother happy and learn things that he really enjoyed so that she could do them with him and this new experience had just given her a whole new outlet with how to do that. A soft, pleased hum escaped her as his paw pads rubbed against her ear, absolutely lost to the world as she contemplated kissing him again.

Then Saracyn made her snap back to reality a bit as he suggested heading back or perhaps finding somewhere to camp out here for the night. She blinked and glanced around, chuckling as she was reminded of where they were and what they had spent their day doing. "Ah... right," she said with a grin, looking back up at him with a bashful flick of her ears. She considered it for a moment and from the smile he wore that was infectious and made a similar excitement flutter in her stomach she knew exactly what was on his mind. It was the same thing she was thinking of as well and as much as she would like to just find a place to hide away with him for a while, she knew they should get back before they began to worry anyone. Besides, they still had a number of scratches, wounds, and bruises that would only be worse come morning so it would be better to travel now before they got any more sore and stiff. "Lets head back," she finally decided with a nod. She started to wade her way out of the water and once she was back on the shore she gave herself a good shake to get as much of the water off of her as possible. Turning back toward Saracyn, she waited for him to dry off a bit as well before she came to lean into his side, nuzzling happily into his neck as she told him, "I want you to stay in my room tonight." It wasn't as if it was a rare occurrence for one of them to end up in the other's room from time to time so it wasn't as if their parents would really find anything odd with it... They probably would just not suspect the purpose behind it and that was probably for the best. She kissed his cheek and smiled before she started walking back toward home with him, keeping close at his side both for warmth and simply because she didn't want to be apart from him.
