Comments: I was working on another fic when the idea for this came up... And since some people were requesting something happy/fluffy and I needed the break, I wrote this... Warning, though: I don't usually do fluff... I may have overdone the sap... 233 words... Enjoy!
DROWNING
By Ryuuen
Everything around him is water. Blue. Cold. Not the pleasant warmth of Carribean beaches. Not the refreshing cool of hidden springs. Cold. Icy cold. He is numb. He tries to breathe, tries to call out for help. He can't. No one else is there to hear him anyway. Alone. Trembling. He tries to surface and yet something just keeps pulling him down, as though every force of nature has conspired against him that day. He just keeps falling... Down, down, down. Until the pressure becomes too great and he finally gives in. Black. And then...
"Orli..."
A whispered name. Familiar arms pull him closer. Warm breath across his neck.
"You were having a nightmare."
A nightmare. He turns in those arms and rests his cheek against a broad chest.
"Vig... I dreamt... I was drowning... Cold, so cold... And you weren't there... Vig..."
A whimper.
A hand rests upon curls, soothing.
"Shh, angel... It was only a dream. I'm here now. I'll always be here to protect you."
Only then does he look up, searching for an affirmation.
Calloused hands enclose his face, brush away tears he didn't even notice have fallen.
"I love you, Vig. Don't ever leave me."
A gentle kiss. Then brown meets blue.
"I love you, too, Orli. Always. Forever."
And he finds himself drowning all over again... Cerulean, the color of summer skies. Warmth. Safety. Love.
But this time, he smiles.
