To stop a horrible deed ll Fillan & Faustina
Feeling her relax in his arms, Fillan did his best to keep from jostling her, and soon he could hear Faustina’s breath deepen into sleep. He was still troubled about her actions, but that was currently overshadowed by the tight knot of joy he could feel in his chest - he’d revealed the strength of his feelings for her and she had responded in kind. He’d never imagined he’d find himself in such a relationship. Or any at all, really. He’d been convinced that he would be spending his life alone, but before he knew it, he’d spent months and months with Faustina, enjoying himself for the first time in years. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed so much.
Cradling her protectively, he brought them both back to the house they’d taken over for themselves for a while, quietly closing the door behind him, and carrying Faustina up the stairs, laying her gently on the bed. Caressing her cheek lightly, he gave her a light, lingering kiss on the mouth before snuggling in behind her, tossing the blanket over them both. Fillan rested an arm over her hip and nuzzled at Faustina’s neck as he settled down, intending to have a little nap of his own, as he found his riotous emotions had taken a fair toll.
Faustina had slept the whole way back. Soft sighs coming from her now and then and at one point she shifted a bit in his arms so the she could lean her head closer to his heart.
"Hm?" she mumbled as she was placed in the bed. She lifted her head and watched the other with sleepy eyes just to feel a pair of soft lips against hers. Faustina returned the kiss lazily and ran a hand through his hair before laying down in the bed again. Her eyes soon closed as she figured that Fillan was planing to join her, and she was right. A pleased hum came from her as she felt his warm body against hers and she couldn't help but giggle a bit as he nuzzled against her neck. "I love you," she whispered once more before drifting back into sleep..
