Title: Before dawn Rating: PG Word Count: 167 Pairing: Buri/Raoul Round/Fight: 2B Summary: Dawn always comes.
Just before the dawn, she lays across her lovers chest and watches him sleep. She traces the features of his face, smoothes down his hair. Tomorrow, she will have to leave him. The Riders need her; tomorrow she leaves with a scout party destined for the north. She's had so little time with him, yet so much. She can't believe how long it took them to come to this point. After all, she's known Raoul since she was fourteen. They've been friends since that night on the balcony. But it took them until a week ago to see that they were more than friends, to realise that they'd been so for quite some time.
She runs a finger across the side of his face and smiles. He's no Jon, but Raoul's handsome enough for her. She traces his lips, then freezes as he kisses her fingertip.
'You tease me too early, my love.'
'I didn't know that you were awake.'
'Well I am now. And I have absolutely no intention of going back to sleep right now.' He smiles, and leans over to kiss her.
Just before dawn, Buri falls in love.

This is adorable, especially the last line! Good thing Raoul can't read minds, though -- He's no Jon -- truthful, but ouch!
