[Ami] In the Land of Nod (tag Scott)

[fikgirl.livejournal.com]

The sun warmed Ami's body, the lush and earthy scent of trees and damp ground all around her. She blinked her eyes open, stretching luxuriously on the cool grass. Her arm encountered something – warm, soft, firm – and she rolled over onto her side to see Scott lying beside her on his back. One arm thrown across his eyes, his chest rose and fell in as he took deep, slow breaths.

Ami's heart swelled and she smiled.

With gentle fingertips, Ami reached out and ran her fingers lightly through his hair, noting the single strands of gray sprinkled within the darker strands. (That wasn't there before.)

Before what?

No sooner had she phrased the thought, she remembered. Ami shuddered slightly, fear and panic beginning to slowly crescendo until Scott stirred slightly.

It was over. He'd come for her. Just as she knew he would.

She slid closer, slipping one of her legs between his, a very palatable relief rising from her. Her lips brushed his lightly, /I always knew you'd rescue me, love. I missed you so very much./
