There always existed within me an ache that only time with Nyx could ease. The longer I was without seeing her the worse it would get and eventually it would become too great to live with and I would have to find a way to see her.
That point had come this morning.
I’d cleared my duties for the day and made my way from Orchis to Cereus, feeling edgy and anxious. Once there, I gave the novice at the door a note to deliver to Nyx.
I need to see you Keegan
Then I went to wait in the courtyard.

I had just finished my morning classes when Claire came, bearing a note from Keegan, saying he was waiting for me in the courtyard. Reading his few words, my brow furrowed, and I walked outside as fast one could in the halls of Cereus.
Spotting him, my heart did its usual happy flop but he looked on edge, and my worry only increased. "Is something wrong?" I asked, voice pitched low as I went to him so that no one else could hear.

Just the sight of her began to ease the pain inside me. I stepped closer to her and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tight.
"Only that it's been so long since I had seen you," I whispered. Every second that passed I relaxed a little more.

"Oh good, you had me worried," I said with a smile, hugging him back as I relaxed. "I'm glad you came, I've missed you."

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you,” I said, burying my face in her hair and inhaling. “I just get…edgy when I don’t see you for too long.”

"I'm sorry love, I didn't know," I said, feeling guilty that I hadn't made time for him. "Come on, let's go someplace quieter."

"Can we go there without me having to let go of you at all?" I asked with a chuckle.

I smiled and kissed the small v of skin that showed at his collar. "No, but you can hold me again when we get there," I told him. "I was thinking we could find a nice corner of the gardens."

My skin prickled at the touch of her lips and I gasped softly. My hand caressed down her arm until I found her hand, twining my fingers with hers.
“Lead the way,” I said softly, breathlessly.

I led him out of the courtyard and into the gardens, ignoring the looks we were getting until we were hidden from them by greenery. I wound through the paths, having a mind to where we were heading. "So how have you been love?" I asked, looking back at him with a tender smile.

“Alright. Keeping out of trouble for the most part,” I said with a chuckle. “Yourself?”

"You, keep out of trouble? I didn't think that was possible for an extended period of time," I said with a teasing smile. "I've been fine, though I think Donatien has decided that free time should be a mere dream for me, with all the classes he has me taking."

“I’m not keeping you from somewhere you should be am I?” I asked, hoping I wasn’t. I did not want her to get on the bad side of her Dowayne, it would just cause trouble for us both.

I waved my free hand dismissively. "Only my mathematics homework, and I can do that tonight. You have very good timing you know, I just got out of class," I told him with a smile as we came upon the patch of grass I had been aiming for. I sat, and patted the lush ground beside me.

Grinning, I plopped down beside her, my arms going around her again and pulling her to me. “This is very nice,” I said.

I tucked myself up against him, loving the feel of his arms around me. "Yes," I said with a happy sigh.

Leaning in, I softly pressed my lips to hers, not pushing for anything more than a kiss.

He gently pressed his lips to mine, and I gladly accepted them, softly stroking his cheek and down his neck. It was just a kiss, I was not worried about being seen. Besides, we had missed each other.

I felt the rest of the tension easing from me, and I moaned softly with bliss.

Our lips parted naturally, and I put my head on his shoulder, my forehead against his neck as I breathed him in. "I'm sorry I didn't come see you," I whispered.

“You don’t have to apologize,” I told her softly. “It’s my own fault, I could have come to see you sooner.” My hand caressed over her back. “I guess I just don’t want to get you in trouble or interfere by demanding too much of your time. It’s silly, I know.”

"It's a little silly," I agreed with a smile. "You shouldn't worry so much, it's bad for your health. Besides, I'm making Donatien enough money that I'm sure he'll let you visit more often."

“I’ll keep that in mind,” I said with a chuckle. Then I kissed her again, soft and gentle as the first, drinking in the taste of her.

I kissed him back, making a happy sound as I reveled in the taste of his mouth. He was like a really good glass of wine that you wanted to savour and drink more, all at once. I chose to savour, knowing that I would nevertheless still get drunk off of his kisses.
"We were practicing the waltz last night, and I thought of you. Remember we danced the waltz at the Midwinter Masque?" I asked with a soft smile, looking up at him. "You were so handsome that night, all striped."

My smile grew at the memories. “I do remember that night very well. You were the most stunning fox to ever walk the world,” I replied.

I grinned. "Well, at least on that night," I replied impishly. "I can't wait for next year."

“I can’t wait either,” I said, feeling my blood heat a little at the thought of a night of freedom with her.
My smile turned teasing. “You are spending that night with me, aren’t you?”

"That was the plan," I replied a happy smile. It didn't matter that the night we were speaking of lay months away, I knew what I wanted. "Along with most of the next day."

“The next day?” I said, looking doubtful even as a smile quirked my lips. “I think I have a date already.”

"Is it with a blonde girl with brown eyes?" I asked with a teasing smile.
