Description: It's moments like these that she loves the most.

 

 

She likes these moments the most, even if it takes a knee-shaking nightmare to bring it about.

 

When her captain lets her climb into bed, rubbing gently down her back, it makes her think of comfort and love. She feels safe wrapped in the warmth left behind by Retsu's body heat. The terror of her nightmares drift away, and she can finally fall asleep in peace.

 

Isane loves snuggling down next to her captain, bodies pressed together and sharing the soft embrace of the blanket. She likes to trail her fingers down Retsu's bare arm as it wraps around her, hearing the quiet chuckle of her lover behind her.

 

She thinks that there's no other place that she would rather be, than there in her arms. There's no place safer, no place where she's more loved and cherished. And she wishes she doesn't ever have to crawl back into her own empty bed, even if she understands that it is an occasional necessity.

 

She enjoys waking first in the morning, watching Retsu's sleeping face and wondering what her dear captain dreams of. She loves it when she wakes up second, and Retsu already has tea brewed for them, something new and fruity made just the way she likes it. Perfect every time.

 

Isane thinks every morning when she wakes up that this will be the day she says those words. They both already know it, the emotion practically glowing in their eyes and the warmth of their smiles. But still, it is nice to hear it every once in a while.

 

Isane opens her eyes, looks into her lovers', and says to herself, 'This is the day I will say it.'

 

But then, Retsu kisses her, and the words flit away to the back of her mind. Not that she minds too terribly.

 

After all, it's moments like these that she loves the most. Even without the words.
