His perspective

I woke up while the moon was still out. She was sleeping in my bed by my side. It felt like a dream had come true. I knew hell was awaiting us soon, but these tender moments with her really made me forget what our life was really like.
I gently caressed her silky soft hair as she moved slightly in her sleep to my touch. I smiled to myself, she is ever amusing to me. After the previous night, I was worried she would hold a grudge against me for my protective nature for weeks, if not forever. That thought agonized me almost as much as I thought of her seeing the horrors of those open fields swarming with nature's devils. I tried to push the thought out of my mind and focus on the fact she is here now and safe.
I left her all those years ago to join the scouts, unable to even say goodbye. But, I was hopeful that she would somehow come back to me. I knew she had what it took to survive, but I wish there was more I could have done at the time. And she did more than that, she thrived. And she did it on her own, and I never want her to be in that position again. Her mind was so worn out from the years of being alone she couldn't recognize my face, or perhaps, the years of stress aged me more than I realized?
Regardless, she is back with me. I intend to never let out of her sight as much as I can help it. My protective nature of her is unusual to me, but I can't seem to control these feelings more than respecting her wishes as best as I can. But one thing was for certain, I was madly in love with her... More than I thought was possible.
I curled up next to her again as I savoured her beautiful smell and soft skin and fell back asleep.
--------
When I woke up, she was stroking my face. I've never slept more than her so it was a nice change of pace. She was so gentle with me despite her strength, but I guess that makes two of us. I saw the sun was rising but wanted to refuse being another closer to our expedition. I dreaded the fact our relationship was kept quiet about it in the day too. While I'm not much for public affection, perhaps none at all, I hated having to treat her sometimes as I would with anyone.
Nevertheless, the sun was rising so I got up and dressed myself. I peeped over to see her getting dressed too, her beautiful body glowing in the sun and the memories of our intimacy flooding my brain as I felt a pinch of red in my cheeks. I closed my eyes and regained my composure.
The day continued on as normal. She is an excellent soldier who adapts quickly, but she tends to be a bit brass. I wrote her evaluation and everyone else's to prepare my team for the expedition before I taught the team the lesson on the exact methods of the formation.
After finally all of the preparation work for everything, I went to my favorite spot in the dining where my favorite tea was still hot and waiting for me. She's smart enough to know my schedule and have time to do this for me without anyone noticing. Or perhaps the rest of my squad is somewhat incompetent. I do know they are heavy sleepers though, considering no one bothered me last night or any night she's been here. I better train them harder just in case now that we have taken that step, I don't have any intention in slowing down.
After my short break, it was time for the most important task of the day, cleaning. I gathered everyone in the kitchen with the mops and brooms out.
"I want it spotless, you guys were sloppy yesterday. After you are done, run 25 laps around the grounds. Got it?" I stated to them. They all collectively groaned as expected. I put on my dust mask and joined in the cleaning. Hopefully, that excuse of sloppiness will tire them out enough for tonight.
I just had to see her in that way again, my mind wouldn't stop thinking about how gorgeous she looked and how, warm she felt inside. My body too was stuck with her memory as my private refused to calm down all day long.
Finally, the evening came to pass. Everyone was exhausted, hopefully I didn't push her too hard. I saw them all practically crawl to their beds and after a few moments and the distinct sound of snoring from their rooms, I opened my door to go meet her.
When I opened my wooden door, she was standing before me already, seemingly struggling with unable to focus on anything else as me as she leaped into my arms and met my lips as hard as she possibly could before the door was even closed.
I took her in my arms and shut the door behind, us not moving my lips as her as I kissed her deeper. She tasted sweetly of tea and something else undescribable, something only she can taste like. I couldn't help myself as I pinned her against the wall, holding her hands above her hand, taking a second to breathe as I stared at her beautiful face. It came over me again as I whispered, "I love you,"
Her face beamed red as she repeated it back to me, somehow even more excited than before just by those three words. I matched her passion as we went into each other for another amazing night.
