adaon6 - Character: Duo, Word: Hug
It’s like a scene from a half-remembered dream; he recalls the scent of candles and incense and that musty smell you can only find in the wooden pews of an old church. He remembers the feeling of warm limbs wrapped in layers and layers of cloth enveloping him, creating a cocoon of safety, protection and love; at once trapping him and rescuing him into their folds.
He wonders now if it’s a real memory or only a wish, a conjured image to help him through the wars and their aftermath. He compares the feeling of holding this petite and fragile woman to that image in his mind, notes the differences and wonders again. How strange to be able to embrace someone so completely, to wrap his hands around her and find that they overlap. How odd that this time he is the one enveloping her and still the cocoon he creates covers him as well; in safety, protection and love.
