Ender looked almost ethereal, Jace thought.
The way his black hair framed his pale face. He looked untouchable, fragile, like if Jace (or anyone really) touched him he would shatter.
Jace ran a hand through his hair, he liked Enders hair (so did Ender), it was so soft, he knew that was because Ender always took good care of it.
His eyes trailed down across Enders face, looking down at the smaller mans eyes. Jace liked Enders eyes too (Again, so did Ender). They were the most beautiful shade of purple he had ever seen...they were closed now.
Finally his gaze trailed to Enders lips, he liked Enders lips the most, they were so soft (he new from experience). Jace couldn't help himself but to lean down and gently plant a kiss on his lovers lips, he knew Ender would call him creepy if he found out Jace had kissed him while he was asleep, and Jace would fully agree with him, but he usually couldn't control himself when it came to Ender...and he never seemed to mind. Ender trusted Jace not to go to far.
When Jace pulled away, he was surprised to see Ender was awake...and glaring at him.
"Kissing me in my sleep? My, my, how dirty of you..." Ender says, though his tone is harsh and he can counties to glare, he's smiling up at Jace.
"How can I make it up to you?"
"..... could you kiss me again? Please?"
Jace laughs softly, "Of course my love, I would like nothing more" He leans forward and closes the distance between them, being just as gentle as the first time. Ender wraps his arms around Jaces neck, sighing with content when the other finally pulls away.
"Was that enough for you my prince" Jace asks, smirking at the glare he gets from using Enders title.
"Yes...but for calling me prince you'll have to do it again, you know I don't like being called by my title... besides I'm no longer a prince" He adds the last part quietly, slowly sitting up with a barely suppressed wince.
"You should take it easy my love, you got wounded quite badly...not to mention the poison" He says, moving to push Ender back down.
"Oh it's nothing really, just a scratch and- mhpm!" Ender says, getting cut off half way through when Jace leans forward to kiss him again, using his lovers moment of shock to gently ease him back onto the bed.
He finally pulls away, ignoring Enders indigent glare, "You said you wanted me to kiss you again. And that is far more than 'just a scratch' you've managed to get yourself badly injured once again. So just lay back my love, and rest, you need it. I promise we'll find a cure and then I'll hunt down that-" This time it was Jace's turn to be interrupted as Ender puts a finger on his lips to silence him.
"Shh, don't worry about me, or about getting revenge, the last thing we need right now is more bloodshed. And don't forget you need rest as well, you fought just as hard as I did, you deserve a break, you need a break...or you may just.... break. I said break way to many times in that sentence... But my point is, you need rest as well...wait I already said that...Ugh! You know what I mean!"
"I do" Jace says, trying and failing to hide his laughter at his loves struggle.
"Laughing at me? How rude! it seems you own me another kiss!" Ender exclaims, pouting slightly.
That just makes Jace laugh even harder.
"Are you kidding me?! What is it that you find so funny- Mhh!" Jace silences Enders whining with a kiss. As much as Ender snaps and complains, Jace knows he just does most of it for attention... which he happily gives.
"It's just you look so cute when you're angry, I can't help but laugh" Jace says.
"Yeah!- Well I was being serious! You really need to rest- Mhpm!!!!" Jace leans down to silence Enders whining with a kiss once again.
"I'm sorry my love, I'll try and get some rest as well, but only if you do too"Jace says after he pulls away. He gets up from the chair he was sitting, "Move over so I can lay down"
"There's room on the other side-"Jace sighs "-What, you said it yourself, I'm injured, and you expect me to move for you? I think not you're perfectly- Mh!" Again Jace kisses Ender to shut him up, not that he minds his lovers constent complaining, but sometimes it was just easier to quiet Ender before he went on a full tangent about this or that.
"Alright, alright" Jace says, Walking around the bed and lifting the covers so he can lie down.
Ender huffs, purposefully facing away from Jace, glaring at...the wall, "That wasn't so hard now,was it?"
Jace sighs, "It was not..." He wraps his arm around his lover, pulling him closer, "I love you" he says quietly, almost a whisper, "so very much, more than the stars and the moon, the water and the earth, the sun and...I love you more than life itself"
Ender sighs and rolls over to face jace, he reaches forward, tucking a strand of warm brown hair behind his boyfriends ears. His deep purple eyes meet Jaces light pink ones, "I know you do, and I love you too... more than life itself" he mumbles.
Jace presses a his to his lovers cheek, "I'll always protect you...no matter the cost" He says, but Ender has already fallen back asleep. Satisfied, Jace closes his eyes as well.
"Rest my love..." He mutters before drifting off, into a pleasant, dreamless sleep...
