Suletta was froze as she looked at the scowl and cold look Miorine was giving the redhead “You’re a useless idiot.”
“I’m sor…” Suletta began her tears already flowing like waterfalls down her face.
“Save it, I don’t want to hear it.” Miorine said before turning away giving the pilot one last glace “Never speak or show yourself to me again.”
“But…”
“Goodbye, you Mercurian bumbkin.” Miorine said dropping the little blue figure.
“Miss Miorine!”
Suletta woke with a start, her breathing was heavy and her face felt puffy, a quick check revealed the tears flowing from her eyes just like in the dream ‘Not again.’
“Suletta?” came a familiar voice as a light was turned on.
“Miorine?”
“Was it a nightmare again?”
The Mercurian just nodded in response, she wasn’t sure her voice was up to the task of talking right now, as she felt a fresh wave of tear begin to push their way free.
The signs must have been clear to Miorine as the ashen girl smiled and opened her arms, beckoning the redhead closer with one hand, the redhead caught a glimpse of gold on the hand that was beckoning her towards the ashen girl.
“Miorine!” Suletta choked before diving forward into the ashen girl’s gentle embrace and pilot’s tears began to flow.
“Shh, shh, it’s ok, it’s ok, I’m right here and I’m not leaving you.” Miorine whispered caressing the redhead’s wild locks.
‘Damn you Prospera for making me to do that!’ Miorine growled in her head as her wife bawled her eyes out in the ashen girl’s chest.
‘Not a plan I’ll ever look back on with pride, if I’d known...’ Miorine’s thoughts were stopped by a silent tear that escaped her eyes, Miorine forced the rest down so she could focus on her wife’s needs before she placed a gentle kiss on the pilot’s head.
Miorine intertwined their arms and legs tightly, the ashen girl hoping the contact and warmth would bring comfort to the crying girl, occasionally glancing over at a monitor on Suletta’s bedside table to make sure the occupant of the bed next door was still fast asleep, thankfully the little girl remained quiet.
Miorine wasn’t sure how long the two were locked in each other’s embrace, but eventually Suletta started to settle down.
“Was it a repeat of the past?” Miorine asked once she felt the Mercurian could talk properly, head hand still petting the redheads.
“No.” Suletta replied, her voice still a little shaky from the tears “It was different one, you said…”
“Hey, I promised I’d never do that to you again and I meant it.” Miorine said trying to tighten her hold “And I aim to keep it.”
“I know, it’s just sometimes, it comes back at the worst time.”
“They always do.” Miorine said as she moved her hand from the pilots head to the back of Suletta’s neck and began moving her fingers in the tickling motion.
“Hey, that tickles.” Suletta giggled.
“Hey, they say the best cure for tears is giggles so that’s what I’m going to give you.” Miorine said giggling herself at Suletta’s laugh.
“Thanks Miorine.” Suletta smiled.
“Anytime Suletta.” Miorine smiled back, before putting her hand back to the redhead’s head “Hey, can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Why weren’t you mad at me?”
“I thought I was.”
“Yes, you were, but…I expected…more,” Miorine sighed, remembering the scowl she had seen on the redhead’s face upon their reunion, she’d never felt smaller or colder in her life, the ashen girl couldn’t look the redhead in the eye then for fear she’d only see hate in the pilot’s blue eyes.
“I even half expect you to hate me and hit me, I doubt anyone would have blamed you if you had to be honest.”
“I’d never do that to you though.”
“Why though?”
“You know why.”
“I know, but I need to hear it again, please.”
“For the same reason, I fought those duels for you, looked after your garden for you and we have these rings, I love you Miorine.”
“I love you too Suletta,” Miorine said placing a kiss on the redhead’s forehead “and I’m sorry I hurt you.”
“It’s ok, I understand why you did it.”
“It’s not ok, I hated myself for doing that to you and I promise I’ll spend the rest of our lives making it up to you.”
“You don’t have to.”
“I want to.”
“Just having you here with me is enough.”
“Your too kind for your own good you know.”
“I know, that’s why I have you to help guide me and stop me from getting in over my head, like at the party.”
Miorine let out a small giggle “Yeah, well you do tend to need it from time to time.”
“Sorry.”
“Don’t be, do you think you’re ready to get back to sleep.”
“Can we stay like this a little longer?”
“As long as you want.”
“All night.”
“As long as you want.”
“Forever.”
“As long as you want.”
“I love you Miorine.” Suletta said before giving her wife a chaste kiss.
“I love you Suletta.” Miorine said before returning the chaste kiss.
