Lingering Memories

>Jaune stands guard during the start of tonight’s watch.
>The rest of the recently formed ‘team RJNR” have been fast asleep for a few hours now.
>Jaune sits contemplatively in front of the campfire, eyes focused on the flickering flames.
>Transfixed on the pyre, the sounds around him begin to mute, even the crackling wood
>The colors begin to shift, soon resembling a familiar crimson
>Between the waves a figure danced, elegantly shifting from one position to the next
>This was the person who believed in him more than any other
>His eyes remained unblinking, unwavering, nearly drying out.
>She laughed. She danced. She cried.
>She unlocked his aura, something he didn’t even know he had
>She gave him the courage no one else did.
>She had left him.
>No.
>She had saved him.
>His vision shook, taking him a few moments to realize Nora had been whispering his name loudly
>”Jaune! JAUNE!”
>He shook his head and nodded, blinking to regain his sight.
>She muttered something about switching roles.
>He understood the gist, and left.
>He gazed up at the stars as he rested on his back
>The shattered moon shone its faint illumination of the heavens.
>Hypnotic twinkles rocked his mind until his vision blurred.
>Blinking to clear his vision, he stood and left the campsite.
>He trudged until he was far from the camp, and discovered a wide open field.
>Serenity coated it enough  to float on.
>He looked to a nearby maple, and made his way.
>He leaned against it, closed his eyes, and let his mind drift.
>The world began to fade from his perception.
>Suddenly, an embrace.
>His eyes shot open.
>”Hello again!”
>Emerald eyes smiled back at him.
>Proper joy could not be expressed, as he attempted to proclaim.
>But Pyrrha preemptively silenced him.
>Their minds as one, they slid down the tree trunk, locked to each other.
>No words exchanged, they leaned together.
>Necks crossed and snuggled.
>Hands clasped in an unbreakable bond.
>Yet they were joined in tenderness.
>Jaune let himself fall into tranquility, to allow himself to enjoy this moment.
>Though the calm did not last very long, as Jaune felt a tap on the shoulder.
>He looked to his companion, and lips forced themselves upon his.
>An even tighter hug clung them together.
>The embrace only broke periodically to assist each other in disrobing.
>Soon armor and undergarments lay in a disheveled heap behind them.
>Breaking from their kissing to breathe, Jaune awkwardly glanced at his stiff member.
>Was it okay?
>He hesitated in coming down, nervousness clouding his confidence.
>Their eyes met, his filled with uncertainty.
>Hers however, told him one thing, complimented by a nod.
>She reached up and pulled him towards her, consummating their desires.
>His thrusts were slow, and arhythmic, though with each push, more strength backed the next one.
>He felt their souls merge by the moment.
>The closer they came, the faster he drove himself.
>Pyrrha’s limbs tingled with pleasure.
>Soon they synchronously began reaching their fever pitch.
>Sweat slid between the two as they rubbed.
>Upon reaching the peak, the two brought their lips together.
>Eyes closed, breathing slow, the two remained in each others’ arms, minds and souls as one.
>They rocked in unison, swinging to the wind.
>Eternity seemed to pass them by in instants, secluded by the world around them.
>Truly a moment worth sharing for a lifetime.
>And then, another tap on his shoulder.
>Jaune opened his eyes.
>A metal door rested against his face.
>”I’m sorry.”
>Jaune awoke, staring at the crumbling moon above.
>His eyes quivered and drops dribbled to the snow below.
