Let me be your wings

Whether it was because of the relaxing - and incredibly steamy - shower.. Or because she was in the comforting arms of Sky.. She was feeling rather sleepy at the moment. She was trying, so very hard after the kiss that they had shared to stay awake. She wanted to spend every moment with him, and sleep was getting in the way. She did her best though, not to drift off. And for a few minutes, she thought that her sheer stubbornness was working. "It was pretty perfect, wasn't it?" She asked with a small smile. "Thank you for believing in me, Sky. And..thank you for not giving up when you found out who I really am." 

Persephone could have lost Sky as fast as she had gotten him, but he saw something inside of her that she didn't even see in herself. For that, she appreciated him more than he'd ever know. "I hate sleep.." she mused with a very small smile as she snuggled in, closer against him. "It takes away hours of time that we could be doing so many more productive things." Her eyes were growing heavier, and heavier. "Sweet dreams, Sky.. I know i'll be having them."

She agreed that it was perfect, and Sky loved hearing that it was a mutual feeling. She then thanked him for believing in her, for not giving up on her, or them. "I would never do that," he assured her, the mere thought of giving up on her or their relationship unfathomable. She then stated that she hated sleep, speaking of how they could be doing more productive things rather than sleeping. With his eyes still closed a smile formed on his lips, knowing exactly what sort of things she was talking about. "We have tomorrow," he said in his state of half slumber, not even fully realizing the implications of his words. That he was already committing them to spending tomorrow night together as well. He wanted to spend every night with her, as much time as was possible. He kept his arm around her, holding her close to hi as she bid him good night. "So will I," he whispered before falling into a deep sleep. It was perhaps the best sleep that he'd had in a long time. He felt completely at peace, with her so close and in his arms. When his eyes naturally opened, he felt completely refreshed. He looked at Persephone, realizing she was still sleeping and smiled at her being the first sight he lay his eyes upon when he woke up. It was such a beautiful way to start the day. Part of him feared that last night had just been a wonderful dream, but knew now that he was extremely lucky for it to have been reality. Deciding that he wanted ot surprise her, he carefully got out of bed so not to wake her. He practically tiptoed out of the room and went to her kitchen. He would have to quickly familiarize himself with everything. As quietly as possible, he stared to make breakfast for her. But he realized he didn't know her preferences. So instead of deciding on one thing, he went with giving her lots of choices. He made pancakes, French toast, and had some toast and eggs. Unsure of her beverage preference, he made tea, coffee, and poured a glass of orange juice -- setting the milk and sugar on the side for the former two drinks. He didn't know if she would like any of this but figured he could always order breakfast for her in case she preferred none of this. He was often clumsy, so proceeded with extreme caution as he began to carry the large tray of the assorted breakfast to her room. He slowly pushed the door open, seeing that she was still on the bed but unsure if she was awake, so quietly began to walk up to her with the tray in hand.

The night was filled with a relatively dreamless sleep, actually. Although, there was a certain sense of flying, as though she had reached incredible heights, and was floating through the air. Finally, she felt complete. There were going to of course be obstacles, but that was something she pushed so far out of her mind that it didn't even creep up on  her in her dreams.. Which, she was thankful for. She didn't want any of the night ruined. She breathed in as she yawned, about to turn on her opposite side - she had rolled a bit during the night, and she noticed that Sky wasn't there. Her eyes shot open, and instantly, she became worried. "Sky?" She blinked, trying to get her bearings. 

When she sniffed the air, she noticed the smell of food. What was going on? She was about to get out of bed to go investigate, when she saw Sky coming in to the room, carrying a tray full of things she didn't even realize she had in her kitchen. She wasn't very much of a cook. "Oh.. Sky, that smells, and looks incredible." She was speechless. No one had ever made her breakfast in bed before! Then again.. no one had ever made her any meal like that before. She shifted slightly to make room for him to sit with her and she smoothed down the blankets. "I've gotta admit.. I was a little nervous when I woke up and you weren't beside me. But this is.. amazing. Thank you so much."

He smiled brightly when she complimented the look and smell of breakfast. He happily set down the tray on the bed, ensuring it remained flat as he sat crossed legged next to it, and her. She went on to say that she had been nervous when she awoke and he wasn't here, but further thanked him. "Oh! I would never have just left like that," he assured her, not wanting her to think he was that kind of person. Though she seemed to know him incredibly well . . . he wondered if perhaps even better than he knew himself. "I wasn't sure what you like to eat for breakfast," he admitted. "So I just used the basic ingredients that I found: bread, eggs, milk, flour, and made . . . this!" He stated, motioning to the food and drink set before her. "If you don't like any of it, we can go somewhere," he quickly added, not wanting to force her to eat what he made. He was in such a wonderful mood this morning and he knew it was all thanks to her. "Also . . . " He leaned forward and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, a slight shyness in his smile when he pulled away. "Good morning!" Because he hadn't said that yet, and felt the need to now.

She wouldn't tell him, but she didn't really think he'd actually get up and leave. It was a far worse thought in her mind.. That her father for whatever reason, popped in for a visit, saw her new love interest, and did something terrible. She realized then, that this would always be a fear in the back of her mind. Persephone refused to speak of this concern to Sky though.. She didn't want to ruin anything with him, and she definitely didn't want to wreck this day. "I know.." She said with a small smile, before quickly bouncing topics. "Well, my compliments to the chef. If it tastes even half as good as it looks, it's going to be fantastic." 

She was about to dig in, when she felt a kiss to her cheek after he had said good morning to her. Oh! Right! That was a thing people said to each other! "Good morning, stallion." In return for him kissing her cheek, she gave him a small kiss on the lips. She poked at one of the pancakes with a fork, and took  a bite. She blinked rapidly, and she promptly took another bite. "This is really good!" Not that she doubted him, but she'd actually never eaten pancakes before. Actually.. had..she ever eaten breakfast food? "I've never had these. Any of this stuff, really."

He was glad to know that she didn't think him to be that kind of guy . . . which wasn't really a big shock since he was someone heavily lacking in intimate experience. Well, until the last couple of days -- particularly last night. He continued to smile when she said that it would be fantastic if it looked as good as it tasted. He hoped it did taste good! He didn't want to disappoint her. Feeling her lips on his felt wonderful as always! The use of the nickname also made him force back a blush at the word, especially after hearing the reason for its use last night. This was such a great way to start the day and well, he could certainly get used to this. He watched her take a bite of the food and smiled proudly when she complimented it, further more, saying that she'd never had any of this stuff before. "Well, in that case, I'm happy to be another first of yours," he told her with a hint of shyness. "What do you normally eat for breakfast then?" He asked curiously, wanting to get to know her better, whether it be her habits or her preferences. "For starters, do you prefer tea, coffee, or juice, because I brought all three." So that she could decide since the three beverages were radically different from one another.

Persephone had expected him to be curious of what she ate in the mornings if not for breakfast food, so she was honest. "Nothing, really. Usually I just wake up and start my day. I drink a cup of coffee first though," She mused, answering his next question. "Even though I do like tea and juice, sometimes. But coffee is what gets me through the day. Piping hot is my favorite. I could never understand that iced stuff." Probably because of the whole daughter of Hades thing. "I've always kind of hated ice and anything that had to do with it, though. I'm not a fan of the cold." Was she rambling this time? Yes.. yes indeed she was. "But yes, you certainly have been giving me a multitude of firsts. I'm enjoying it." She gave him a small smile. 

She continued eating, mostly in silence, until she decided she should probably alert him on just how wonderful her night had been. "Sky.." She spoke, clearing her throat. How did she tell this to someone? "Usually, every night when I go to sleep - or day, or whenever I happen to sleep, I have nightmares. Horrible, awful nightmares that I don't even want to fill your wonderfully innocent ears with. But with you.. I've never had a dreamless sleep. It was beautiful...and.. I just hope that you decide to stay with me again. Sometime." She paused. "Any. Anytime."

He listened intently to hearing what sort of things she liked to eat and drink, making a mental note of it all. She didn't like ice drinks . . . he wondered if it was some sort of genetic preference she got from her father. Sky didn't want to think about Hades though; it would certainly spoil the mood. "Coffee it is then!" He exclaimed as he handed her the cup of coffee that he had made. "Milk and sugar?" He asked, having brought it all with him but not having put it in in case she didn't like it. Perhaps Sky was over thinking all this . . . he just wanted to make her happy. He wanted to cater to her, to take care of her -- even though he knew she was independent and fully capable of taking care of herself. He just, wanted to do anything and everything for her. "So I take it your a fan of soup?" He asked, further delving into hearing what she liked to eat so that he knew what to make, or where to get food from. He gave a shy smile as she said she was enjoying all the firsts that he was giving her. "And I'm enjoying all the firsts you're giving me too," he said with a slight blush, since he was thinking of one major first . . . that encompassed so many things, including the emotional aspects of it. She then began to say his name and he felt a wave of worry run thruogh him. It sounded like she was going to say something serious, and Sky sat there, completely focused on her -- which wasn't always easy for an easily distractible person such as himself. With her however, it wasn't difficult at all to give her his full and unwavering attention . . . as if she was the center of his universe. She told him that every night she went to sleep, she would have nightmares. He felt sad for her, wishing he could do something to help. But hearing that she had a peaceful sleep allowed him to know what he could do to make it better! Was it giving too much credit to himself though? "I'm sorry to hear that you go through that," he told her sincerely. "If you . . . ever want to talk about it, don't let my innocent ears be the reason you don't," he said a bit playfully but still with the utmost truth. "Whatever will help you feel better," he told her. She then offered for him to stay sometime again . . . any time. The thought was so very tempting, for last night and wake up next to her this morning, had filled him with so much joy and happiness. "Any time you want me to," he said with a bright smile, expressing his own eagerness over the idea of spending another night with her. "I really like spending time with you." Well that sounded stupid for it was far more than that. "I mean . . . it's more than that," he continued, not even sure what he was trying to say. "Not that I mean more more, but I just mean that 'like' doesn't really cover how much I enjoy spending time with you." He paused, realizing he was rambling. "Can you do that thing that you did where you shut me up?" He asked a bit embarrassed for his rambling but also with a slight playfulness in his voice. That 'thing' he was talking about . . . was of course, a kiss, as he had said similar words to her last night.

Milk. Sugar. It didn't matter. Coffee was coffee. However.... "Usually. Sometimes I even use vanilla and cinnamon. I like the little kick it has to it." Gotta love spice, right? Another affinity that she likely inherited from her father's genes. "And yes," She laughed. "I'm a fan of soup. Broccoli and cheddar, and loaded baked potato. Those are my favorites. Oh, and chili. What kind of food do you like? I mean.. we haven't really ever discussed any of the little things. Favorite food.. color.. things like that." Between sentences, she continued to eat, and to drink the coffee that had been on the tray. Everything tasted perfect.. he was definitely a good cook. 

Talking about her nightmares wasn't something she'd normally do openly.... and certainly not over breakfast. She grabbed a napkin, and dabbed her mouth with it, making sure it wasn't covered in syrup. "I'll keep that in mind.." she assured him as she lifted a hand to lightly touch his cheek. "But, maybe not over breakfast. Maybe later." She did want to talk about it.. maybe if she let it off her chest, she could figure out why they wouldn't stop. They were nightmares spawned by the underworld. She could see the souls, and hear the screams. She could sometimes swear she even felt cold hands touching her.. But why would she want to say that to the man she loved? Why would she want to make him worry? But if he asked.. she'd be honest with him. 

He was rambling again.. only this time it was about spending time with her. He liked it.. more than liked it. Loved it, perhaps? But he wouldn't say it.. just as she wouldn't. He was too nervous.. and so was she. It was too soon to fall this hard..wasn't it? Luckily, he asked her to make him stop talking.. It was for the best, as if she started, she would have rambled, too. "As much as I like hearing you talk, I like the way I get to make you quiet, too." She met his lips with her's once more, and she kissed him softly, and tenderly.. her kiss tasted distinctly like syrup.
