I Love You So
Gaolan Wongsawat
The sun was setting, casting an orange hue over everything it shined upon, dark shadows could be seen, and pink, purple, and yellow clouds drifted across the sky slowly. The inside of your shared room, was also covered in an orange hue with deep dark shadows, the lamp next to your bed was on, helping to even out the lighting. You were sitting up on Kaolan's back dressed in your golden silky robe, while Kaolan wore matching silky pants. You had a vase of warm oil on the bed next to you, your hands covered in oil, smoothing it over his toned back, pressing on his tense muscles, you can feel where the knots were, pressing into them, making Kaolan give a satisfied moan.
It's been like this for a few minutes now, silent with the occasional groan and moan from Kaolan while you'd sometimes giggle in response. His arms were folded under his pillow, his eyes closed as he seemed to be drifting in and out of sleep. He's been extra busy lately, traveling with Prince Rama to and fro from business deals to meetings. He's even had to get into a few fights along the way, all in the name of Prince Rama, earlier that day, you saw the stress in his eyes and his tense shoulders, so you put it upon yourself to get some of the finest oils you could purchase, specifically for tight muscles, something that'll soothe him.
Being his wife also had some perks, since Kaolan was the Village's strongest warrior and the Prince's right-hand man, he was treated like royalty, meaning you got that same treatment, so it didn't take long for you to find the items you needed to help aid your husband in relaxing. You just had to wait until he finally was able to come to bed, it's been months since you both been in the same room together, traveling from Country to Country while you stayed at home, it was lonely but it wasn't something you weren't used to. Once he came home, and you saw his tense shoulders and stressed stare, you knew you had done right by gathering those items.
Giving Kaolan a massage was just as enjoyable for you as it was for him, you loved doing the act, knowing that it was helping him to relax, helping him to calm down from a stressful week or in this case, months. The feeling of his toned muscles under your palms, as you'd trace the contours of his muscles, following his light scars, remembering some of them as you did. He was such a warrior, it's like he was born to do so, a guardian of sorts. You always told him that he'd make a great father someday, but he'd always shake it off with a small smile. His excuse? 'I don't think so, I don't nearly have the proper emotions to take care of a child, I'm too harsh and cold, I'm distant and I'm not the most emotional.' He'd always say, you could see his points, however you had faith that he'd make an amazing father, call it intuition if you will.
Your hands curved over his shoulders, the back of his neck, and down his sides, slowly coming towards the middle where you'd go up and down, pressing down hard on the knots in his tense back, you were sure that he was asleep by now, he wasn't making as many groans and moans as he was at first when you found a knot, it was more like a muffled grunt at most now. You smiled tenderly, happy that he drifted off to sleep. You stopped your hands, bending down until your lips were next to his ear. "Kao?... Are you sleeping?" You asked in a low voice. He grumbled in response, not saying anything but enough to confirm that he was drifting in and out of slumber. You softly chuckled as you sat back up, reaching over as you gathered more oil into your hands.
You drizzled it over the middle of his back, making a small puddle in the center. You smoothed your hand through the puddle, going up to his shoulders and over his arms, stopping short of the pillow before you went back to the middle of his back, doing it all over again. Your hands went down his sides, pressing down a little harder, looking for any knots, he gave a hard twitch, making you jump in shock as you pulled back, he gave a grunt, his brows twitching as he cracked his eyes open. "Are you hurt?" You asked him, and he nodded his head. "Yes, I took a pretty nasty blow to my side a while back, He had one hell of a kick force." He explained, you looked down at his sides in worry, your eyes scanning until you found it.
It was faded, but you could still slightly see the red of his bruising. You gently rubbed over it, you saw when his muscle tensed from your gentle touch and you pulled back from it. You stared down at it sadly. "I'm sorry, Kao... I didn't know." You apologized, you didn't mean to hurt him. "What are you apologizing for? You weren't the one to hit me, you were helping me, I should've warned you beforehand, but I guess it slipped my mind." He said softly. You sighed as you gently rubbed his back. "I know, I just wish I was more aware of it, but that's okay, as long as you're relaxed, that's all that matters." You said. He gave a half-hearted chuckle as he shifted till he was on his back. "KAO!!! THE SHEETS!!" You cried, he sighed, as he placed his hands on your hips, keeping you in place.
"It's fine, I'll have them replaced." He said tiredly as he rubbed circles on your hips with his thumbs, you gave a defeated sigh, knowing he was right. "You could've at least let me rub off some of the oil before you decided to turn over like that, Kao." You said, as you lay your head down on his chest. He gave a "Hmm" in reply to your words as he wrapped his arms around you. He could hear you fuss at him all day, he just wants to hear your voice, have you in his arms, where he knows you're safe. Your body relaxed against his, as you got comfortable, his heart giving steady beats, calming you. You missed him, you missed having him in bed, having his arms around you, where you know he's relaxed. 'Kao does so much for everyone, he deserves to rest.' You thought, as you snuggled into him.
He opened his eyes, one last time, as he reached over, clicking off the lamp, before he gave a relaxed sigh, you both slowly drifted off to sleep, the room slowly going dark, as the sun completely set over the horizon.
