Hey everybody! I have a new obsession with Prince of Persia, so I just had to write a fanfiction about it! :) I know I should be updating my manga stories, but this seemed a lot more fun than dealing with issues. BTdubbs, I am in love with the song during the credits, I Remain. I have a funny story about it too. XD BUT ANYWAY, on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters Dastan and Tamina, although I am in LOVE with Dastan.

A Kiss of Memory

"Are you ready to see it?" Prince Dastan jokingly asked his wife, who was waiting in the hallway. He was putting the last touches in the room, spreading flower petals of Alamut's finest flowers all over the floor.

"Dastan, do not stall! Let me inside." Tamina whined. The impatient princess tapped her foot in annoyance.

After a quick glance of the room, Dastan felt satisfied with his work. The prince smiled and called out," Okay, love. You can come in now."

The princess twitched at his use of the word love. Their marriage was just seen as a political agreement through the eyes of her people and the people of Persia. Yet, Tamina thought Dastan seemed to think it was more than that. She seemed to not remember something that had transpired between them to cause the prince to care for her this much. Maybe she should ask him…

The princess stepped into the room, and was speechless. He had turned the already beautiful bedroom into a nirvana similar atmosphere. The floor was covered in lush Persian rugs and the walls were covered in a layer of flawless limestone. There were petals everywhere, and they also made the room smell divine. In the middle of the room was the massive bed. The blankets and sheets seemed to be made of Egyptian cotton.

Tamina walked around admiring the beautiful room. Dastan followed closely behind her, smiling at his wife's happiness. He had never noticed how much her happiness made her seem twice as beautiful.

"You did all of this?" Tamina asked, astonished. "You are a prince; you should have had servants do this!"

Dastan chuckled and grabbed Tamina's hand. "I could have, but it would not have been this special. I wanted to give you this as my wedding gift, but it took so long, you see."

The princess's eyes began to well up with tears thinking about the amount of time he had dedicated to this room for her. Tamina tightened her grip on her husband's hand. "I love it very much. Thank you."

Dastan brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed it gently. "You are very welcome, my wife."

The subject of Tamina's earlier thoughts crossed her mind again, and she wore a pensive look.

Dastan looked confused and immediately implored her, "What is it, Tamina?"

The princess shook off her concern and smiled again for her worried husband. "No matter, Dastan. Nothing is wrong." She reached up and caressed the prince's cheek intimately.

Dastan started to blush. She had never been this intimate. Well, she had, but yet she had not. The prince's mind wandered far back to before he turned back time, after him and Tamina killed the Hassansin's leader. That rushed kiss, their last intimate moment after she... As her falling screams ringed in his ear, Dastan tried to shake the dark memory from his mind.

Tamina had never seen Dastan act this way. It seemed as if he had just relived a sad memory when she touched his cheek. She retracted her hand, but his large rough hand caught her arm gently. The prince kissed the inside of her wrist intimately. The princess was taken off guard and gasped a little. She looked deep into her husband's eyes. They were like two glistening oceans, and were filled with honesty and fidelity.

Tamina used her other arm to reach and grab behind Dastan's neck. Applying some pressure, she forced his neck down so his head was at her level, and his lips were not even an inch from hers. Dastan had not expected this, and was surprised at her boldness. Copying her boldness, he closed the gap between their lips.

The chemistry in this simple first kiss seemed to make small explosions in the back of Dastan and Tamina's minds. Dastan was not reliving the memory anymore, but creating a new one. But with Tamina, this kiss seemed familiar. With the jolt of this kiss came a memory. A tiny glimpse of a past memory flashed in her head.

Sand. So much sand surrounds them. Dastan and Tamina look down a cavernous abyss at a falling figure in black. Then Dastan looks gratefully at Tamina, he's covered in sweat and blood. Tamina's heart flips with deep love for the man in front of her. Their lips crush together in desperation. The kiss is filled with compassion, sorrow, forgiveness, and a sense of destiny. It ends too soon and they rush off to the sandglass.

With the kiss ended, Tamina is rushed back into today. She took deep breaths and marveled at the vision she had just had. Dastan looked at her with worry once again.

"Tamina, what is it? Tell me. You are growing pale." Dastan felt her cheek with his palm.

Tamina tried to explain to her husband. "I saw-… I saw, we were… I just saw a memory. A memory I do not remember having. I saw us embracing… but we were… underground… and near the sand-" The princess stopped quickly, for she had almost spoken about her city's secret.

Instantly, the prince understood what the princess was talking about. One of his greatest dreams had just become true. Instead of telling her she was just seeing silly visions; Dastan did something she would have never thought he could do.

The prince of Persia wept, and laughed with joy.

He grabbed Tamina around the waist and picked her up. Dastan spun Tamina around while he still cried and laughed. Tamina was speechless at this display of emotion. He looked so jovial he could not contain himself, but yet why was he crying?

"Dastan," Tamina cried out as he was spinning her. "What is it?"

The prince simply set her down, looked into her eyes with astonishment and adoration, a couple more tears escaping, and said. "You remember."

Jeez… it's sad when you write things that make yourself cry. :( I hope you enjoyed it! Please review! (CHANGE) Criticism is appreciated!

Anyway, I have a proposition. If I get over 5 reviews, I will write a second chapter.
