My Guardian Rose

So... A suggested tidbit of me doing the do with Jamie... That's it. ^^'



My Guardian Rose

Chapter 98: Ice

After sleeping the whole day, I had slipped out of the bed, careful not to wake Jamie, dressed, went downstairs, and brewed a pot of coffee before heading outside. Now I sat, under the watchful gaze of Lunar, on the fountain. I waved to Ken, the night watch, who waved back before going back to watching the outskirts of the town. I wore a long sleeve shirt, as well as a long black and gold scarf that was just one of the gifts Pitch and Sandy had gifted me at Christmas, dark gray gloves, sweat pants, and fur boots. "It's too cold for you to be out." I snapped my head to the side to see that Ice had sat beside me, his long ears flat against the sudden breeze and his short fur puffed up against the cold. I relaxed, letting out a slow breath that came out in a small fog. "You're lucky that m' hands are practic'ly glued t' this mug, 'r I would've hit ya." He chuckled, reaching out a clawed hand to pat my shoulder. "Sure, ya would've." I looked away. "What're you doin' out here?" I muttered, yet he was silent for a long moment. "You forgot about me..." He sighed, such a sadness in his voice that I nearly gasped. "Yes, I... I admit, I did... I'm sorry, pops..." I felt him rest his head against my shoulder, and I set my head against his. "You used to always call me that... I'm glad you remembered that, at least..." I couldn't help but smile. It was a smile of sadness and happiness at the same time. "Yeah... I'm sorry I treated ya so bad, when ya firs' came 'ere... I guess... I've jus' been rubbed the wrong way f'r a while..." He chuckled softly and patted my arm. "Well, let me smooth your fur for you, budling..."
"Hmm?"
"I'll keep your secret." I stiffened, then relaxed. "Thanks, Ice." I murmured. "Mmhm..." He sounded tired, and in a matter of no time, he fell asleep. After finishing my coffee, I set it on the edge of the fountain and gently picked Ice up, making sure not to wake him. Then I quietly carried him inside and sat down on one of the many couches that were in the livingroom, Ice laying in my lap. And, despite the coffee I had, I found myself growing tired as well.



What about Ice did I forget? Time will tell, kiddies~!
