Chapter Text
Context: Dyson finds Chiren after her body is regenerated. I don’t specify what events lead to that or what happens after. If you want to write what happened next you’re free to do it and let me know.

Chiren couldn’t see anything except for blurred shapes, but she felt the embrace. The strong hands supported her upper body and lifted to the surface. Emerging from the liquid, she was dazzled but clinged instinctively to the person who held her in their arms, hoping it’s really the person she thinks it is, and not just a creation of her mind.
“It’s alright Chiren, I got you” said the familiar male voice.
Instantly, it felt as if something squeezed her heart.
“Dyson” was all Chiren could say at the moment, when the realization made her speechless.
And Dyson responded with a smile that radiated a certain kind of warmth she hadn’t experienced in a while. He put his hand on her cheek.
She observed him with astonished, doe-like eyes for a few silent seconds when the view of her husband eventually awakened a wave of emotions. The words started coming from her mouth uncontrollably.
“Dyson, I love you.” were one of the first, and upon hearing them, something changed on her husband’s face, as if he didn’t expect to hear that now. But there was also something else. As if they moved something inside him. Then, she continued, talking as if she was running out of time. “I’m sorry, for not telling you this, for everything, it’s all my fault, if I didn’t leave, we wouldn’t end here, I…”
She spoke like she wanted to express all those emotions and thoughts that hit her at once, and obviously the result was rather clumsy, completely not in her style. But she really was afraid, afraid something would separate them again, and she would make the same mistake of not letting him know how she loves him. That this could be the last chance and she couldn't waste it.
“Shhh. I love you too. It’s okay” Dyson took his wife into an embrace, where she laid her head on his shoulder, still sobbing but after a few moments she managed to calm down.
“Sorry for this” she spoke again quietly and tired, despite her body being almost like new after the reconstruction.
“It’s okay” he repeated, but it wasn’t like he was in a state to come up with creative responses. He appeared collected, but under that facade there was a big emotional load. He went through so much and was nervous about the moment of their reunion.
“I have so much to tell you,” she added.
“You will, but first we need to get you out of here” he responded quite joyfully. He was probably relieved that everything seemed to be alright so far.
Chiren turned around for the first time. She was sitting in an opened capsule filled with some unknown liquid, and the lower half of her body was still immersed in it. She quickly judged that the room they were in was a part of some laboratory, considering its looks.
“Yeah, you’re right,” she agreed. She wanted to land a small kiss on his face, but still had a sense of shame inside her, that didn’t let her do it. Maybe Dyson noticed it somehow, because to her surprise, he kissed her first, without a warning.
But she didn’t oppose it.
