Avacyn had just begun to relax into Saracyn's warmth when all of the sudden he grasped her against him tightly, making her gasp softly and open her eyes again to see the soft glow of his special marking in the darkness and the gleam of his grin. She chuckled and grinned, her tail thumping softly against the bedding happily while he nuzzled and kissed the top of her head and brow. "You certainly did," she whispered back with a giggle when he said how he had caught her. His tail stopped her wagging as it entwined with hers, making them as tangled together as they could possibly be. Her head settled on the soft fur of his chest while her forelegs squeezed around him. "I couldn't sleep. I missed you," she explained softly, though she doubted he really needed an explanation. If he felt even close to how she did, which she knew he did, he would just be happy that she had decided to join him.

She nuzzled into his chest and her paws gently rubbed his back with a tender affection, more at peace than she had been in a few days. She wished they could be like this all the time, always snuggled as closely as possible together with not a bit of space between them. She fully relaxed into him, her smaller form fitted perfectly into his. She hovered somewhere between staying awake and drifting off to sleep in his arms for a while before she finally decided to listen to the soft flutter of butterflies in her stomach and the dance of electricity through her nerves where their bodies were pressed together. She lifted her head from his chest, blinking open her dark eyes to find his in the shadows of his room, seeing his matching marking and the soft gleam of his aqua gaze in the pale light it gave off.

A smile pulled at her lips and she tipped her muzzle up to find his, their lips meeting and causing her heart to skip a beat in her chest. Her forelegs instinctively tightened around him as that initial kiss deepened and her lips pressed more firmly to his. Her eyes drifted closed again with a small, quiet whine, the soft noise carrying her deep need for this moment and for him. Her paws followed the curve of his sides, up over his chest, to slip around his neck to hold herself tight to him while her tongue met his with another soft whine to anyone else might not have meant much, but Saracyn knew her inside and out. He would be the only one that really knew the emotion behind that whine and how much even just kissing him like this made deep waves of rolling need and love go crashing through her.
