Little Blue and Green eyes

Martin walked into the lounge in just his boxer shorts. He was cold, and he had a look of loneliness, cold and fear upon his face, his ocean blue eyes were full of tears, his dog tags chimed together as he walked. He stopped short of the red sofa, his bare feet nearly going blue on the soft cosy beige carpet. Elena heard his tags chiming, and as she opened her eyes she saw him standing there, shivering, she saw the look in his eyes and lifted the blanket on the sofa gently up. He nodded as he shivered the dog tags chiming away like a  little kittens bell. He was a defenceless little animal and he needed a hug. She welcomed him in and felt his cold body and she embraced him. His ocean blue met her emerald green eyes and they looked at one another, and their love for one another just radiated from them.1

"My baby boy going to tell me whats wrong?"2

They closed their eyes and rested their noses side by side, they nustled gently and showed affection as he replied.3

"I....I miss you" he whispered softly,4

She opened her eyes as a little crystal clear tear rolled down his cheek, she lifted a smooth delicate finger and wiped it away.5

"I'm just down stairs baby....."6

"But you have been gone for so long already"7

She smiled and he lent forward and rested his forehead against hers. A few moments passed and then she let him snuggle up against her and she wrapped the blanket around them. She lent forward and placed her hands o the mug of hot chocolate, she had made it her way and she made him sit up and handed the warm mug. He sipped at it still shivering, he spilt a little down his body and she ran her fingers across his defined chest, then kissed them to taste the even better hot chocolate.8

He smiled as he rested the mug in his lap, and she smiled with him, knowing he was happy.9

Placing the mug down he rested his head on her shoulder and she picked up a book from the floor, it was the little book of poems he had wrote her, all his own works. Snuggled up in front of the fire, his shivering body now calmer, he felt safe and loved, cared for and happy. She began to read,10

"My love....."11

"Hold me close at night, and show....." He butted in and began reciting it he knew it off by heart.12

She smiled and ran a finger through his hair, then began stroking his hair, soothing him as he lay there in her lap, she continued reading. His breathing became more relaxed, he felt warm to the touch and she stroked him as if he were that little kitten. He fell asleep slowly in her arms, as the warm fingers of the fire warmed his skin, and those loving fingers of hers blessed it.13

He was home again, and she held those dog tags of his tightly...whispering,14

"I'm never going to leave you...."15

and to her pleasant surprise he whispered as he slept,16

"I love you....."17

She held him tightly,18

"I love you too"19

And the lovers slept, hand in hand, heart in heart, spirit in spirit.....20

She was the air in his lungs, the blood in his veins, the hope in his fragile little heart, she was the very essence that kept him alive.21
