Fever dreams

In her fever induced dreams, the fairy lights above her bed started to move and float away as fireflies. Running through worlds that were crafted around her favourite playing cards. However, she felt a strangely familiar weight dissolving her happiness. Bunny had flashes back to the horrors that had brought her to the Realm of Forest and Rain from time to time- even when snuggled safely in Jupiter’s arms.

This weight was different. This weight was warm and furry. Purring reached her ears. Bunny’s eyes cracked open to see her girlfriend. Jupiter’s big, dark eyes staring at her out of admiration. Nuzzling the smaller female’s neck, face and chest as Bunny dreamed of all the geo-caches her heart desired.

“Good morning my peachy pie. My honeysuckle. My sweetie-”

“Enough.” Bunny giggled, pushing Jupiter’s muzzle down and away with the palm of her forepaw.

Jupiter licked her lips, lowering her head to blow a raspberry on Bunny’s exposed belly.

Bunny squirmed, trying to pull her shirt down over her bell to dissuade Jupiter from tickling her with her whiskers.

“Haha! That tickles!”

“Does it really?” Jupiter purred, grabbing Bunny’s wrists. Pinning them to the bed above her head.

“Hey! I want my glasses.”

“You’ll get them. After you kiss me.” Jupiter chuckled, her voice low and rumbly like it was blowing from deep within a cave.

Bunny rolled her eyes.

“You’ll have to lean down. Some of us aren’t blessed with two pairs of arms.”

Bunny did enjoy the way that those strong muscles rippled as Jupiter delicately cupped her cheeks.

Bunny delivered a tender kiss to Jupiter’s damn nose before settling back into the cradle of pillows.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“You can let me go now.”

“Not yet. I want to look at your beautiful eyes a moment longer.”

Bunny tensed, blushing.

“They shine like two galaxies. They are the prettiest I have ever seen.”

“You mean that?” Jupiter nodded, leaning in closer until her hot breath tickled Bunny’s ear.

“And your smile. It glows like fireflies. I like to think of you whenever I feel lost, unsure or lonely.”

Bunny teared up. She could not imagine someone like Jupiter ever feeling vulnerable. Her girlfriend was big. Literally, but also in the sense that she seemed immortal. Larger than life. All the things that Bunny hoped to be but could not achieve. But instead, she had this amazing person to look up to. To cuddle with on cold nights. Someone to carve pumpkins with. To trick-or-treat with. To love and hold throughout the year as the seasons passed. Binging movies and talking all night. Sitting by the river, reading while Jupiter swam in the river. The leaves changing colours around them. Golden, orange, red and brown leaves falling, replaced by snowfall and rain. The rain and snow replaced by a blanket of wildflowers. Weaving crowns together from the yellow flowers as they explored the realm.

Her heart swelled and fluttered as Jupiter’s kisses roamed down the feline’s cheeks to the puff of white fur that poked up from the collar of her shirt.

“What are you doing?” Bunny squeaked; her toes curled.

Suddenly, her breath was stolen. Moans slipping out through her fingers. Her neck and back arching as Jupiter continued to pepper with adoring kisses. Lingering whenever Bunny begged her for more. Her hands still secured to the headboard while Jupiter’s other two paws roamed over the smaller female. The larger female raked Bunny closer to her until their hearts beat as one. The glow of the fairy lights twinkled around them like a halo of stars as Bunny hesitantly embraced her girlfriend.

“Oh, Jupiter.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t stop. Please.”

The demi-goddess obliged. She needed no encouragement. She continued to compliment the smaller female.

“I love the way you say my name. It’s like seeing the sun peek out after a storm. Your voice is comforting. You always sound so small. So delicate. Like those flowers you love so much.”

Jupiter shifted her weight so that Bunny was now straddling her. Bunny blinked, trying to gather her thoughts. She had been living with Jupiter for some time now. She should be used to waking up to her girlfriend’s affections.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing.”

Bunny’s fingers traced over the places that Jupiter’s lips had been. Her heart pounded.

“I was thinking about you. You make it really hard not to.”

“What did you think?”

“Really dirty things.” She mumbled.

“Pardon?”

“I was…lost in thought, thinking about you. I really like waking up like this. With you.”

“I’m glad. I could not imagine my life without you.” Jupiter murmured sweetly, skimming her large paws up and down Bunny’s tail. She loved the way that the flustered feline gnawed her bottom lip.

The smaller female clenched her legs together. Her mind going places that, like Jupiter’s tongue, it should not have been. Jupiter was careful to wait for Bunny to return the favour. Holding onto her dark chocolate fur. Bunny would never have imagined.

“Don’t you trust me?”

Jupiter asked, rubbing her girlfriend’s thighs with her damp nose. Bunny laughed, booping the demi-goddess’s nose with her finger.

“Come here you. Of course, I trust you. I trust you more than I trust myself.”

It was Jupiter’s turn to be surprised when Bunny laid a paw over Jupiter’s lowering it from her heart to her waist.

“I love you.” She whispered, taking a breath. “I trust you. Please, don’t ever forget that. I want to spend the rest of my after-life with you.” Bunny’s fingers dug into the back of Jupiter’s paw as she rose to her knees. “This is for pinning me down earlier.”

“I thought you liked-”

“I do!” Bunny laughed; her smile lit up the room. “You missed a spot.” She giggled, gently biting Jupiter on the nose. Jupiter’s ears pricked. Her cheeks flushed as she nipped back.

“Now I know why they call you bunny.”

“Who’s that?”

“You’re cute. I just want to pet those ears forever. You really should rest. We’ll play more later.” Jupiter winked, her paw squeezing Bunny’s buttocks.

“One more kiss please? Kiss it better.”

“How can I say no to that face? You really should think about contact lenses so I can stare into these beautiful eyes more often.”

Bunny soon drifted into unconsciousness, curled atop of her flirtatious girlfriend, who also drifted, holding her. To think, this started with two large, heartfelt eyes staring down at her.
