A noise of birds chirping disturbs my sleep. I slowly open my eyes as I try to have a recollection on where I'm at. Then it hit me, everything that had happened last night came back to me faster than a boomerang.

I slowly look up to see a sleeping Yelena. Her eyes were closed and her hair was really messy. Her lips were hot pink and her face rested so peacefully. From the sight of this I could help but give her a gentle kiss.

Somehow my kiss was enough contact that I ended up disrupting her. She slowly moved her head left and right before opining her eyes slowly.

When she fully opens her eyes she looked around the tent before seeing me. I slowly rub her head helping her process everything. Yelena slowly turns to see me and gives me a smile.

"How did you sleep?" Yelena ask me with a raspy voice coming out, did she lose her voice? I couldn't help but laugh.

"Did you lose your voice?" I ask her but my voice also coming out raspy. I immediately covered my mouth with my both hands. Yelena just started laughing at my actions.

"Guess you aren't to far off" Yelena joked as she gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"Let's stay for a little bit longer?" Yelena tells me with a small smile hoping I would agree. I hesitate at first since I needed to be somewhere but I didn't care too much. I nod in agreement as I lay my head on her chest once again.

"What were you doing last night so far away?" Yelena asked me making conversation as she touched my head.

"I decided to wander off for a bit, why are you here?" I asked Yelena as I stared at her. Yelena stared back at me with a soft smile.

"I was assigned to do something." Yelena summarizes it. Seeing that she didn't want to really talk about it, I decided to not get involved. Besides I trust her enough.

While I lay my head on her chest I notice the necklace I had given her years ago. I slowly get up and look at it with pure shock.

"No fucking way." I say slightly laughing at this. Yelena slowly sat up unsure of what was going on. I could tell she had a slight panic on her face.

"What?" Yelena asked me confused.

"You still have the necklace." I say softly as I touch the necklace she was wearing. For some odd reason I haven't noticed it sooner.

Yelena sighs in relief thinking it was something serious.

"Don't scare me like that, what happened to yours?" Yelena asked me. I could tell she was slightly hurt from not seeing it on me.

"It's right here." I look around for my pants and grab them. I then put my hand into the right pocket taking the necklace out. Sadly the necklace broke so I only had the crystal.

"The necklace had broke back in a mission I had done, the only thing I came out was the crystal. So I keep it in my pocket, I don't have to risk that again." I explain to Yelena.

"It's ok I'll buy you another one don't worry." Yelena assures me with a warm smile.

"I still want this one." I argued holding the crystal.

"Then I'll get you a new necklace you can keep the crystal." Yelena offers with a small smile. I smile back at Yelena and I hug her.

We both share a small kiss and we hug one another with the blanket wrapped around us. It was rather peaceful and quiet moment. Our warmth made it more comfortable for us. But sadly I had somewhere to be and I couldn't let Yelena be in fault for her lack of attendance either.
