You make a better door, than a window

The girl blew out softly, her breath moving aside another stray curl that had fallen out of her updo. She was bent over in concentration as her hands moved back and forth. In front of her fragile body lay a matt-like blanket of dried straw and grass woven into neat patterns. Black legs were folded tidily underneath her atop the golden sand of the beach while the ocean rolled lazily in and out carrying seaweed with the current. Ever dared spend another second gazing at the round orb of afternoon sun hung carefully in the sky. Shadows of tall, leafy palms scattered around her form and dotted her face.

It had been hours since she had taken a break from weaving their roof. Her heart skipped a beat awkwardly. Ezra would surely come. He always did around early afternoon to work on their seaside shack. Ever let out a content sigh, watching her hair flicker around her face from the breezes. The length had reached past her hips so she had taken her minuscule dagger and trimmed it back up to mid waist. Red ends had come out surprisingly clean but after spending so much time taming the wild ringlets she decided to throw it up with a piece of thread. But by now, after finishing half a wall of the cabin and entwining more of the roof, it rested loosely on her shoulder and slipped out of the tidiness.

Smells of ocean and wilting earth drifted along the cold breezes. Ever heaved in another breath, enjoying the stinging feeling the frost chilling her chest. She was layered in a sleeveless wrap the color of the sun during sunset. Another flash of heat struck across her face. Every time she was reminded of sunset she thought of her mate. An uneasy stillness was followed. She plunged her hands back into work and listened to the rolling tide to get her mind off it.

Ezra had become more comfortable in his Luperci body. It had taken weeks of transformations and awkwardness for the boy to become comfortable on two legs. It wasn’t that he physically couldn’t walk, quite the contrary, it was just the fact that Ezra had no desire to be a bipedal creature. Ezra soon discovered the Secui form after another messy transformation. He was still on four legs, but he was much larger and able to travel long distances. Mostly for Ever’s sake, he had deliberately chosen to stay in this form in order to be comfortable with the life he was now destined to live. It pained him, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

His shoulder was finally healed. There was an unsightly scar that coursed down his shoulder reminiscent of Ouija’s dirty claws. Looking at that and feeling the three lines on the back of his neck made the boy still scowl in anger at what happened. Ezra had gotten better at not thinking about it, and of course being surrounded by the wonderful distraction of Ever made his life infinitely better. She was always there for him, and Ezra never wanted to spend a moment apart from her. To kickstart their new life together, the two of them had decided to build a home together. It wasn’t nearly close to being finished, so Ezra still returned to his den in the woods, but Ezra used every ounce of strength he had to make the house worthy enough to house his mate.

Ezra had woken up earlier than normal on this particular morning. The boy had spent the morning hunting for Ever. He had caught 4 rabbits on the way to the shore. Being a luperci did had some benefits – hunting was immensely easier. However, after his fourth catch, Ezra had shifted into his optime form in order to build the house better. The smell of the ocean was intoxicating, and Ezra’s mind had a fleeting moment of clarity as he saw his love intently working on the roof. She was so concentrated in her work that she didn’t notice him walk up behind her. Lovingly, the boy took an ivory hand and tucked a fallen lock of her amber hair behind her ear. God, she was so beautiful.
“Hello darling,” he said quietly, giving her silvery cheek a lick.

His touch brought color to her face and movement in her statue-like position. She brought him down to her face for a proper kiss. Her body rose on her knees as the kiss gained intensity while she arched her back. Black hands brought the boy down into the light, cool sand and grabbed the roof, letting it settle on top of them like a blanket. Ever didn’t realize how cold she had been by the ocean breezes until she felt Ezra’s heat against her.

The girl finally released her mate from her grasp and rested her head on his chest. She knew they should be working. It was a lingering thought, cold as the sea water in the back of her mind. All that was important was that he was here. Something about his aura made her feel safe, and when he was gone she felt like he took part of her with him.

Hello,"

Ever said with a delicate smile. By now her hair had been freed of its bonds and lay in perfect ringlets around both their Optime bodies. She traced the fur on his neck with shaking fingers, staring intently out at the discolored ocean against the clear sky. A few wispy tufts of clouds were rolling in behind them and settled in an uneven trail towards the horizon.

She kept forgetting it was winter. Snow hadn’t touched the area yet but Ever could almost imagine the frosty fragrance. Every day more trees creaked with the cold and the earth vented a dying smell. Suddenly her dress felt to revealing to the harsh wind and the youth let a shiver run down her petite form. She looked at Ezra lovingly and continued her pattern along his collar bone.

In an almost direct defiance of the bitter cold wrapping around the couple, Ezra’s body seemed to burst into flames wherever Ever touched him. Without fail her touch brought a euphoric wash over his entire body. Ezra leaned into the touch of his mate, following her pulls with care. He sighed happily after their kiss broke off, enjoying the silence between them. The sand chilled the lower half of his body but he ignored the feeling.

The male looked at the work Ever had done. “Been working all morning?” he asked cheerfully, looking at the roof. In his right hand Ezra remembered about the rabbits that he held by their ears. “I brought lunch,” tossing them to the side like ragdolls. He picked one up and started enjoying his prize. It wasn’t much, but at least it was better than nothing.

It was too perfect. He could tell Ever was stressed about getting the house done before snow hit. It wasn’t the biggest deal in the world; if their house was snowed in, the two of them could fare the winter in his old den. It was quite comfortable now, despite the fact that Ezra had no furniture or clothing for himself. It was big enough for the two of them though, and that’s all that mattered. “I might trek down to Halifax and find some things for the house. What do you think we need?” Everything, but that was beside the point. They had the rest of their lives to fill the house up with treasures.

Ever lifted her head and nodded, confirming she had been working since dawn. The cold ocean breezes raked across her exposed shoulders although the lower half of her body was on top of Ezra. She watched him toss the rabbits into the sand and didn’t fight the warming in her heart.

“Thank you,”

The girl murmured but made no move to pick on up. She didn’t want to admit she wasn’t hungry because her subconscious knew how hard it was to hunt in the winter. Her hands were sore from weaving the rough grass but she didn’t want to stop. The sooner the couple had their own place, the happier they might be.

Ever let a smile curl her lips when Ezra mentioned Halifax. Like she, he had fallen under the magical spell of human things that were abundant throughout the ruins.

“We still need 2 and a half walls, some sort of a covered door, and anything shiny … ”

Her mind strained to remember what was in Vigilante’s house. Face twisted in concentration, she let herself relax. She was overreacting, but the biting cold was enough to remind her they had to get it done. Even though the shack was starting to look like … well a shack, it was beautiful in her mind and perfect for them.

“A bed or something to sit on might be important,”

Ocean eyes twinkled and Ever forced herself to look down shyly, fingers strung into strands of sea grass that grew on either side of the two.
