Present Tense... The Winter wind outside rattled the window as it howled by, making Miranda subconsciously hold her beloved a little closer despite the layers of thick, warm blankets that kept the chill of the otherwise warm room away from them. "Can't sleep, Miri?" came the soft sound of Misty's voice, sounding sweet and musical to the courier's ears despite being half-asleep. "Just too much on my mind, I guess," she replied, bending her legs to match the curve of the small form that lay before her. "I'm sorry," said Misty softly, taking Miranda's hand and lifting it to her lips, "I shouldn't have been so agitated at dinner this evening. It was rude of me." "Goodness no!" Miranda chuckled, teasingly nuzzling the back of her lover's neck and kissing her playfully, "I love that inner fire of yours. You aren't afraid to say what you think and that's something we Lav'brats cherish in a partner." "Oh yeah, that's right," Misty laughed softly, kissing Miranda's fingers affectionately, "You only love me for my personality!" Miranda bowed her head, ducking under the covers before hiding her face against Misty's nightshirt as she laughed out her tension. "Well, if it's any consolation," the courier assured, coming back up pushing aside Misty's hair with the end of her nose before playfully kissing her lover's neck, "I think you're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on." "Beautiful?" inquired in a playfully speculative tone as she shuffled around to face her lover, "I thought you said something about 'cute rocking your world'?" Miranda laughed again, sliding her leg over top of Misty's as she slid her arms around her. "Okay then," the courier conceded, "Your cute in the daylight and beautiful in the dark." "Hey!" laughed Misty, playfully bringing her face closer to giving Miranda a mock angry look, "I'm not sure that's a compliment." Miranda smiled sheepishly, bowing her head a little and blinking up her beloved innocently. "Hey, it's the best I can do when I'm half-asleep," she replied meekly, soliciting a small giggling kiss upon the nose from Misty. "Well, I guess you'll just have to make it up to me then," Misty replied, sliding her arms around Miranda and holding her close. "Anything," the courier promised, her voice full of quiet sincerity as Misty brought her lips closer and kissed Miranda softly. "Then just tell me that you love me and hold me until I fall asleep again." Miranda closed her eyes, feeling the light pressure of happy tears behind her eyes as she drew her beloved closer and held her almost too tightly. "I love you, I love you, I love you," she murmured, rocking Misty gently in her arms, whispering the words softly into the woman's ear until they both fell asleep...
