Feathery light touches along flushed skin, already marked with sweat and spit from past doings, to the goal of soft long brown hairs. The hand comes to rest on the crown of the head, holding, protecting, pulling closer which was impossible for them being already one.
“Mhhhh” a voice broke the silence, vibrating in the air and making their skin tingle where chest was against chest. The quite in which they basked like a cat in ray of sunlight a few seconds ago came back, covering then carefull once again even as the hand found its way to stroke the long strands, playing with with the sweaty silk. Contentment took their space between them, minutes passing by as they just breathed with each other. Swimming in their own body with the feelings they just created and warmed with the love they shared.
Over them huge galaxies in all the colours a human and an endless could see moved along, floating like them through space and time as the observed the passing of both. Not a care in they world. A breeze played with their naked bodies, not warm but also not cold. Just their as a sweet kiss to their skins.
A thought passed by, something along the way of “when will I wake up?” but it was dismissed and blown into the sky, mingling with the stars and planets until it was nothing more then a glimmer far away.
The hand from his hair roused and fingertips danced once again over skin that has cooled down by now to curl around a jaw, so the fingers owner could place a soft kiss to bruised lips.
“i would spend infinity here with you” another voice disturbed the blanked of calm quiteness.
“breathing you in until my lungs can’t inflate no more, until my fingers go numb from touching you and my tongue turns tasteless from tasting you over and over again “ sadness broke through.
“but we must move. my realm, I feel it calling to me. I am apologising, I must.” But neither moved, still curled up and tangled together, for no one had a clue where one begun and the other ended.
“beloved…” was whisperd and another kiss was shared as slowly, painfully slowly, their body separated into two again.
“i miss you already” they knew it’s gonna be some time until they could once again melt together and ignore their duties for a long stretch of time. But the human knew, when he started sharing his heart with the Dream that it was different then his past loves. They had the time to part for weeks, knowing they will always come back together, not caring how much time drained away between them.
But that wasn’t the only thing that was different. The heat, the passion and the caring lust was always burning, scorching the world around them as they collided. Bringing down walls that have been build over centuries and building new ones wide around them.
“Hob, my love” was kissed into his shoulder and a smile bloomed on the humans face. “I will visit you soon again. Before you know it, I will be back in your arms.” The sorrow was heavy as a last kiss was shared and as they parted, the human woke up to an empty bed but the warmth of his Dream never left, as if the ghost of the encounter was wrapped around him.
Nights like those always left him feeling floaty, drifting through work with no stress around, commute there and back home to cozy up once more in a bed that Dream made for him. Maybe he will see his love again tonight.
And if not, the reminder that he is cherished will be present. Animals will bowed to him, flowers will bloomed for him and the weather would always be perfect. No nightmares would be able to hunt him or even touch him in any way, no fear could corrupt his rest besides the fear of waking up.
He never knew such peacefull sleep and for the 600 hundred years of life, he was finally enjoying his rest under the watchful eyes of his beloved.
