[The time spent between them was both everlasting and a blur at the same time. Compared to all the other times before, this had more of a profound emotional weight between them. The rift still remains, but what was once a seemingly impossible distance now feels as he could just leap over and he would be there.

And now, lying together, with her in his arms and for once not having to wonder if she will flee or disappear (not that she has since they've been togerher), he just relishes and savors her presence and warmth. How many years have they both wished for this and for it to finally be so close in coming true...? And how many years were wasted because they were forced apart? Six or eight years may not seem much at first, but it's too long. Too, too long...
When he feels her gaze, he'll slowly look down to meet her, his eyes softening before he grins.]
