OOM: Out

[latino_menace]

X was less than gracious when she released him and that's still annoying him as he heads up the stairs. But by the time he's reached Fi's room, he's let it go (or at least put it away for a while). There are more important things to think of, like making up for three weeks of incarceration or incapacity. And washing that damn place off him.

He bangs on the door hard. She wasn't downstairs (he checked) so she must be up here.

She expected him to be asleep, so dozing is fine. She dries off and pulls her hair back, tying it into a knot. She slips in beside him, nestling up close, resting her head on his shoulder, one knee draped over his thigh.

"God, I missed this."

[latino_menace]

'Sleeping?'

She could mean that. Random always had trouble sleeping when he was away.

"Holding you," she answers, and yes, she's never been good at eight hours in a row and he always wears her out.

"Missed you, holding me."

[latino_menace]

'Well, 'm back now.'

Fingertips trail up her spine, a sleepy motion.

'Got to sleep a bit.'

[justcallmefee]

She nods, leaning up to kiss the corner of his mouth.

And then she settles, sighing as the tension bleeds away.

She's sound asleep before the third breath.
