It was a night filled with silence from Geralt that was normal for him but Jaskier knew this time his silence was bad. In the very few days since Geralt this girl he could tell he loved her or at least that was what he thought anyway. He cared so much he was willing to end her already shorting life span to make her pain go away. But of corse Jaskier knew he would do it to just about anyone even the monsters he killed he showed them mercy. Instead of going to the town he wanted to stop in earlier they skipped over it and went to the next one over. They had to find Yennefer before she died. Every day that passed was going to be closer and closer to the day she died.

He wanted to save her, he needed to save her. She didn't deserve this curse or to die not knowing what love felt like. She was getting to him badly it didn't matter what she did or didn't do the problem was she was always there with him and he appreciated her blunt honesty. Plus her hair and eyes, her strength she had, just all of it. He hated to admit it but she had him by the balls and he wasn't ashamed to admit it well maybe to other people but not to her.

Claire was playing with bugs and trying to eat them. Occasionally she would give  him a bug or two which was kind of gross but Claire was a cat now so she had no idea what she was doing. They got a room for the night and since his cloths were soaking wet he had to take them off. Claire wouldn't mind it to much. His cloths were hanging on a chair and there was a candle lit next to the bed. Claire was playing with his shirt sleeve as he watched.

"Come on Claire that sleeve will still be there when you wake up," he said as he went over to her and picked her up.

He got back I bed but sat up with her. She purred as he petted her softly. Geralt was worried she was going to be burned to a crisp when she woke up in the morning. Geralt laid down and she gently headbutted him. Claire looked into his golden eyes with her green ones. He loved talking to his horse Roach and Claire did the same with hers  from time to time.

"Hope you don't mind me sleeping nude tonight you got my cloths wet," he informed.

It almost looked like she smirked at what he said making him roll his eyes.

"You would love to see me naked or pretend like what you see," he said softly making eye contact with her.

Imagining Claire in her human form looking at him as if he was a piece of meat made him wish she was right now. But the sad reality hit him when she mowed at him. She might be dead tomorrow or he would have no choice but to kill her.

"Just incase I have to kill you tomorrow... I love you Claire and I wish I did more for you. I promised you I would help you and I didn't do it. Hopefully I get what's coming to me soon not to soon but soon enough. You are one of the few women i can tell everything to and you deserve better then what you got," he informed laying her next to him.

He turned out the light but sleep was not coming to him easily. He didn't want to sleep fearing he was coming to wake up next to a corpse rather then the girl that back talked him. The girl that sacrificed what ever time she had left to save him so he could find Ciri. He stayed up most of the night then when morning came he opened his eyes.

He couldn't remember falling asleep at all and to his surprise Claire was on top of him sleeping again. He rubbed her back she started to stir a bit. She got up and looked at him, her green eyes were still cat eyes and her sails were long. She looked at him as if he was a creature she had never seen before and got really close to his face. She touched his face and purred a bit. Her black tail moved under the blanket and it finally clicked with her that she was with Geralt.

"Aren't you supposed to be in a prison?" She asked as he looked at her oddly.

"You don't remember?" He asked.

"No... what happened? Why are you um....." she paused and lifed the blanket up, "Okay definitely naked. You smell funny and not a good funny either. You smell like burnt flesh, don't ask me how I know what that smells like."

"You don't remember anything at all about yesterday or the day before?" He asked.

"I'm missing two days? My curse it acted up a bit didn't it; figures really," she sighed as she started rubbing circles on his chest with one of her fingers.

He grabbed her wrist making her stop and look at him oddly.

"Geralt? Why are you looking at me like that, you know of I did something wrong you need to tell me," she informed as he touched her softly black hair.

"I almost killed you yesterday..." he said making her brows furrowed.

"What? What did I do?!" She asked terrified.

"Nothin wrong... you were fine after you woke up from using your curse to help me. But your body was frail and you couldn't eat anything without getting ill. It was fine but when we started moving you started to run a high fever and you wouldn't answer me when I spoke to you. You punched Jaskier in the face for no reason when he tried helping you off your horse and you were afraid of water. We stopped by a pond so I could lower your body temperature but your hair caught on fire when it touched it.

Then when I got you out you were shaking. I didn't know what to do I thought that was it. You were dying and you were in pain maybe, I couldn't tell nothing we did was helping you and so I was going to kill you. But you caughed up blood and talked to me for a bit and I got you to go to sleep. Night came and your whole body got set on fire. You were screaming so loud and I was going to dunk you in the water even though last time it burned your hair. You turned into a cat and then you were fine. I was worried I was going to wake up with a corpse in my bed instead you," he said as got off of him and laid down next to him.

"That has never happened before... Geralt why didn't you just leave me there?" She asked.

"That would be the cruelest thing any body could do. I maybe a witcher but I still kill things; I do it in a way well try to do it in a way to cause them the least amount of pain as possible. If I can save the beast then I will do my best to do it," he said as she looked at him sadly.

"Geralt it doesn't matter, you have a daughter you can't just baby sit me until I die I know you want to help me but she comes first. My life is short hers is not, I don't want another child to end up like how I did but maybe if I fo die then maybe this curse will stop. I'm tired of watching people die from it. I don't want you to have to witness my death," she explained.

"You matter to me, I would have never stayed this long if I didn't care both of you matter to me. Even that stupid idiot matters to me to spme degree," he informed.

"You are an idiot for carring about me," she said as he got on top of her.

"I think you are the bigger idiot for not thinking I would after all the teasing you have done to me or the fact that you are a bull headed woman. I like my women strong," he informed.

"So I'm yours now huh?" She asked.

"Until I break your curse and maybe break something else," he said.

"You know you are a very brave man, being naked on top of a girl with claws you know dear witcher," she said grabbing him by the balls making him jump a bit.

"You are a brave woman for being in bed with a man that could easily kill you if he so wished to," he informed grabbing her and and taking it away from his balls and pinning it above her head then grabbed her other arm and did the same thing.

"Well if he wished to all he had to do was kiss me or maybe fuck me," she smirked.

"You. Are. A. Tease!" He growled.

"So are you Geralt of Riva, but you can fix that real quick you know," she said spreading her legs a bit.

"Don't tempt me Claire," he said as they were inches apart from each other.

"Why not, it's fun and I am all yours aren't I?" She asked as he finnaly kissed her.

Geralt woke up to someone hitting him with a pillow and saw Yennefer standing over him.

"Wow that actually worked... you know he was dead asleep. You really are powerful if you can wake up a sleeping witcher," Claire said standing next to her with her arms crossed.

"Hello Yennefer," he said getting up.

"Claire explained what was going on you fell asleep when she was talking to you," she informed.

"Sorry I tried to stop her but she is scarry!" Jaskier apologized.

Well that was the end of that....
