A/N: Written for the Hideaway. It's a 200 word drabble using "Calm and cool" as the first line. Thanks for reading!

Calm and cool.
He steepled his fingers, resting his brow against his thumbs. He would conquer this. After all, she was just a girl, a young woman starting her life. She had been his student, yet her beautiful, dark eyes had seen more horrors than was fair at any age, maturing her beyond her twenty-one years. Coming home to find her parents murdered in their bed had been just the beginning; she had fought at his side during the war and he could not have shielded her from the atrocities she had witnessed, even if she had wished it. During battle and their many games of chess, she proved herself to be his equal, not just in strategy or skill, but in everyway. He loved her, but he could not and would not allow himself to show her.
Calm...
She entered his room at headquarters softly, but he recognized her footsteps. His heart raced as she moved closer and he raised his head.
...and cool.
A heated blush spread over his cheeks as he took in her long, silky nightgown and loose hair.
Calm and cool, he thought even as she knelt before him and without a word, kissed him, filling him with heat and passion.
