Ask [Lwhekk] Star-Crossed Lovers

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan sat up when she pulled away. "Yes, let's go inside," he agreed, smirking right back at her. He took her hand and walked with her back into the cottage, leaving the bench outside. They barely made it to the bed before Ronan had his arms wrapped around her and was pulling her down with him, his mouth returning to hers.

The next few days went by rather quickly, and they had fallen into a kind of rhythm. One morning Ronan woke up to the sun lighting up the one-roomed cottage in bands of light. He and Hailee were huddled close together like on his ship but this time they didn't need clothes in between their skin. Ronan's fingers found their way into her hair and he gently massaged the back of her head.

[Hailee Lightwood]

It was just sooo easy to forget everything here on this remote planet. The days went by fast and she had already lost track of time, which was however a very pleasant feeling here. She woke up to the golden sunlight and a very pleasant head massage. "Mhmmm yes. I could get used to that", she whispered softly while leaning into his hand, the eyes closed again and simply enjoying his massage. She reopened her eyes just to met his and she was immediately filled with this pleasant warmth again. "So...do you have anything in mind for today?" , the rhythm they had found was pleasant, but Hailee felt like they could do some more exploring. However now, she still wanted to stay in bed as they were no pressing matters.

Ronan barely moved when Hailee woke up, her eyes meeting his. He was struck with a sudden wave of emotion, one like he had never felt before. He ignored her question and words unbidden rose to his mind and rolled off his tongue. "Marry me," he said. It wasn't really a question, but it wasn't really a demand either. "Marry me and we can live here together," he continued, faster, as if trying to explain himself.

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

She still felt the tiniest bits of sleepiness but suddenly he said something which she couldn't quite grasp. She was right awake suddenly and blinked a few times, trying to determine whether she was sleeping and that was just a dream. Did she....understand him right? She was admittedly a little confused. "Hmm?" She began, before she slightly starting to chuckle, convinced that this was just a silly joke, but then his face told her that he was being serious. "Wa...wait a second. Are....you serious?", she then asked him, still confused, but her whole body was flooded with pleasant warmth.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Panic immediately replaced the warmth he had felt seconds earlier when he felt her confusion. Why was she confused? Were they not at peace with one another? Had he moved too fast, said the wrong thing, ruined a perfect moment? Hadn't she'd said she could get used to this?

"Very serious," he said, his serious point proving just how serious he was. "Are you?"

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

Her mouth went open, staring at him in disbelief for a few seconds. She blinked again, still trying to process what he just said. All the butterflies inside her belly starting to stir like crazy because actually, this was quite crazy. They had surely spent some time with one another, but they've been enemies most of the time and this was...very fast. But to be fair: so was everything they've done so far. She had literally never felt any happier in her entire life and even if it was crazy, her answers was clear. "Oh my...I- I am...totally serious, but I've never thought you-", she shook her had, the smile reappearing on her lips. "I am totally serious. And...yes. Just yes! Yes, I will marry you", she the replied, both, laughing out of poor joy and happiness, but also crying because this was way too emotional. This was all she ever wanted. He was all she ever wanted, so there was only one answer to the question.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

The panic immediately left when she said yes. It seemed to good to be true. Before she could change her mind he pulled her in tighter and kissed her hard. It was hard to tell whether he was holding her together or if she was holding him. Limbs were tangled, skin pressed to skin as joy flowed between them. Married. They would get married, and become their own family.

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

The sole thought of if was unbelievable. Their relationship had been one hell of a ride, but she was still completely certain about her decision. This was all she ever wanted him. He was all she needed and it felt like this was the right way. They had found a safe place to stay for now and they wouldn't be bothered by anyone out here on Lwhekk. They had made it to safety and she was genuinely happy. She kissed him back passionately, rolling on top him, their bodies still entangled. After a while, however, she stopped, immediately starting to chuckle. "But wait a second. How are we supposed to even get married here? You really think those reptiles would do us the favor?", she asked him jokingly while playfully tilting her head to the side.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

When Hailee pulled away she had somehow ended up on top of him. Not that he was complaining. "I don't know," he said softly, beginning to actually think about this. "We could go exploring, see if there are any other humans or humanoids?" he suggested. He guessed they needed a witness and someone to officially marry them. This was one downside of living on an obscure planet on the edge of the galaxy.

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

justify] She couldn't help but to keep on chuckling as this was just more than crazy...but in a positive way of coruse. Falling on love head over heels and starting to plan the future. "Sure. I've been wanting to explore all the time, but now I was just imaging a scenario in which we do meet other humanoids and start describing our situation and it's hilarious. By the way, we should leave out the parts in which we were trying to kill each other" she replied half amusedly half serious. She wasn't sure whether she wanted to leave the bed and get going, because she was excited or whether she wanted to stay a few more hours because she was simply enjoying it.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan smiled and sat up. "Only talk about the good parts," he replied, not really processing everything. He looked down at Hailee. "We can go exploring now," For some reason he had an inexplicable energy that seemed to have come from his excitement and relief at Hailee's response. It was fine. It was all working out. He could not believe his luck.

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

Hailee was still extremely excited but it all felt very positively. She couldn't believe her luck and it was still very crazy, but so was their whole story anyway, so why would she even care? "Yes. Only the good parts", she replied with a grin before she eagerly nodded. "Great, then let's see what we can find", . She gave him another soft, yet passionate kiss before she started to crawl out of their bed, extending a hand in his direction.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

The smile never left Ronan's face as he pulled her up off the bed until their chests were touching. Still holding onto her hand, he walked out of the cottage and towards the the jungle in the distance. Hopefully they would find someone sooner rather than later. Maybe the natives could even help them.

It was a beautiful day; the weather reflected both Hailee and Ronan's moods.

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

As always on Lwhekk, the weather was pleasantly warm and there was no cloud in sight today. The vibrant colors around them were as beautiful as ever and there her mood was brilliant. They didn't have a set destination in mind and so they just started strolling in one direction, not at all sure where it would lead them. Hailee had her lightsaber with her just in case they would encounter any trouble, but the planet had been rather peaceful for now anyway. When the cabin was out of sight they had already reached the thicket of the jungle, but it didn't seem like there were any natural paths hinting at a possible civilization."Once we encounter Natives again, we should definitely try to find out which plants are edible", she remarked while smirking up at him.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan got the vague impression that she was making fun of his comment from earlier where he suggested to eat the natives. "I was kidding about it, you know," he said. "I'm sure there are plenty of edible plants and the natives can lead us right to them."

He looked down at her, returning the smirk, except it held no malice. He looked up once more, taking in their surroundings as they entered the jungle. "Its so humid," he stated, his shirt already sticking to his back with sweat.

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

Him bringing it up again made it even more funnier and so she slowly started to chuckle. "Well, it would have been funny. I wonder how long it would have taken or you to realize that they are everything but tasty" she joked amusedly before playfully nudging him with her elbow. She wouldn't let go of his remark for a while since it was just another fun way to tease him. When he mentioned the humidity, she was just wiping her face with the back of her hand and that's why she nodded affirmatively. "Totally. Maybe we should consider switching our attire. We should try to adapt to the environment...but I'm not actually versed in sewing and we don't even have any equipment" she then replied a little pensive.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan nodded and then looked down at Hailee, raising an eyebrow. “Switch our attire…” he said. “You wouldn’t be putting on an innocent act, would you?” He said. He would have slung his arm around her shoulders if it wasn’t so hot.

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

She rolled her eyes amusedly, simply scoffing at his comment before she threw him another smirking glance. "Innocent? Me? Please. You should know me by now" she then teased him lightly before she focused her attention back on their surroundings. He had been right though. It was immensely hot and if they wanted to remain here, they would have to adjust to the climate. They walked on for quite a while, not actually following a clear path but after some time, she could spot some buildings in the distance. "There...right between the trees. Do you see those...cottages?" she then asked him while she slowed down, her heartbeat accelerating a bit. They had to be careful with whom they would encounter and so she assumed already a little on edge.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan rolled his eyes back but he was still smirking. They walked a little further and then he saw it too. There was a group of cottages like the one they were staying in up ahead. “Yeah… Should we investigate?” He replied, turning to her. What if the old couple was still here?

@LadyRen

 

[Hailee Lightwood]

She had begun to wonder whether they would stumble upon anything in this vast jungle, but in the end their patience was rewarded. Obviously, they couldn't tell for sure who was inhabiting the little village, but as advanced and delicate as their type of construction looked, it didn't seem like those Native reptiles had built it with their claws...

They definitely had to stay on their guard, but Hailee wanted to approach them politely. "Yes, definitely!" she replied enthusiastically, yet in a hushed tone, before she nodded towards his lightsaber. "But we'll keep them concealed this time, okay?" she then asked him with a smirk, her head slightly tilted to the side. "I'm pretty sure they aren't hostile, so we should try being polite".
