Little Drabble
Trin sighs softly, his ear flicking as he returns to consciousness. He struggles to stay asleep, unwilling to relinquish the sensation of Kala in his arms once more.
Trin would never admit to others just how much he misses Kala. He understands why she left, and doesn’t blame her at all, but he is very lonely without the woman that was is best friend and mate.
Although he has dreamt of his love many times, it has never been quite this intense, persisting even as he loses the battle to stay asleep. Suddenly, the events of recent days flow through his mind: the meeting in Coerthas, seeing Kala among the peace of the Gridanian trees, the time they spent at Apkallu Falls where he asked the question that changes the direction his life has taken, and finally the preparations they’ve made.
He opens his eyes quickly, his heartbeat accelerating when his gaze lands on the beloved face he had missed for so long. He begins rumbling deep in his chest. His hand moves to caress her hair, being careful not to disturb her sleep. He simply lays there watching her for a long while, happiness and love radiating from him. When she finally stirs and opens her eyes, he smiles, nuzzling her softly.
“I missed you,” he whispers. “I’m so happy we are together again.”
