Confessions
Author's Note: Thanks again to Mayu for the wonderful reviews. I'm catching this account up to another one I've been posting this story on, so I'm putting up all the chapters I have so far, which should put my account up to chapter 7. Enjoy!
Chapter 6
Ying woke with a start then gasped softly as the action shifted her shoulder uncomfortably. She kept forgetting in her sleep that the attack had done more damage to the wound. Her shoulder was badly bruised from being slammed into the wall and the stitches had been torn loose during the attack. Which meant the masochist doctor got to have fun again and now she was sore most of the time.
Zhuge’s arms tightening around her waist reminded her that it wasn’t so bad considering the benefits, and she couldn’t help but smile at that thought. Her husband hadn’t turned her loose for more than the time it took them to eat their meals since the attack a few days ago, which was fine by her. His presence kept the nightmares she had feared having away while she was sleeping, and his suddenly cuddly nature kept her distracted from thinking about what had happened.
“Careful” Zhuge couldn’t stop himself from pressing his face against the curve of Ying’s neck as he quietly murmured the words and pulled her tighter back against him. He couldn’t get close enough to his wife lately. “Ready to get out of bed?”
“Nuh uh, I’m comfortable,” Ying felt like she belonged somewhere for the first time in her life and she wasn’t about to move and ruin the mood. She wanted to turn around towards her husband, but that would put too much strain on her shoulder, so she just snuggled farther into his embrace and made herself content with that.
“Very well, I’m enjoying this too much anyway.”
“Really?”
“Of course, Ying … what man wouldn’t like being this close to his wife?”
“I … none, I guess” She kicked herself for getting tripped up on her words again. Her husband was very distracting when they were together like this. She almost jumped a second later when she felt him brush a kiss across her neck, and had to bite her lip to keep from whimpering at the longing that spread through her at the small contact. “Zhuge?”
“Hmm?” Stop before you get carried away, Zhuge
“Why did you marry me?”
Her question was asked innocently, but it shook him to his core. How could she not know by now? Because you haven’t shown her he chided himself. Ying was his world, his soul, the only thing that truly mattered to him…but how could he tell her that?
“Why do you think I married you, Ying?”
“At first, with the deal we made, I thought it was just so you’d have the help and my astronomy skills at your disposal … I’m not sure about that anymore though” She bit her lip slightly, wondering what kind of response she was going to get.
“At first that was what it was all about … and I’m not sure when or why things changed, Ying, but that’s not the case now.”
“Oh … then what is the case now?” Ying had to remind herself to breathe while she waited for his answer.
Zhuge reached up to brush the back of one hand across her cheek gently. He leaned close to her ear, kissing it lightly before whispering his reply
“I love you, Ying … more than anything.”
“You…” Ying couldn’t keep the disbelief out of her voice, praying to the gods she wasn’t still caught in a dream.
“Love you. And I can understand if you don’t feel the same way. I just cant keep it to myself anymore, its been driving me crazy.” Zhuge closed his eyes, hoping his confession didn’t push her away, but thinking in the back of his mind that it wouldn’t.
“I … I love you too, Zhuge … have for a long time now, just been afraid to say so because I didn’t know if you felt the same.” Ying sighed inwardly with relief at her husband’s confession. Now, perhaps, they could be happy together. She smiled at the thought.
“I’m happy to hear that, my wife … now, get some more rest, I know your shoulder is hurting you.”
“Okay Zhuge.” And Ying let her eyes fall closed and let sleep take her again, a smile still playing across her lips.
Zhuge held her like that for a long time before he let himself fall back asleep, thinking about what had just happened. She loved him too … he couldn’t keep the smile off his face that the thought caused, nor did he want to. She was finally his, after three years. Zhuge nuzzled her neck and let his own eyes close with the thought that he had no plans of ever letting her go now.
