Work Text:
Finally, Amelia can rest in peace. Today, she worked the night shift to finish her project in one day and move on with peace of mind. Her boss almost made her go deaf from every scream for a flaw or just to please herself. Kiara helped Amelia, for which she was very grateful. All day Amelia thought of only one thing: to finally meet Gura. She has become attached to this shark since their very first meeting, and now she will definitely not let go of her at least until her death.
Finally, she sees a familiar entrance. From fatigue, she barely manages to open the door and go inside. Already on the right floor, she crowds near the door to her apartment, looking for the keys in her pockets. In a few minutes, the right thing is already in her hands. Vision is blurred due to surging fatigue, but Amelia manages to open the door and enter the apartment.
The apartment is quiet. Amelia thinks that Gura has already gone to bed, so she carefully tries to get around the mess on the floor and go into the living room. She finds the switch through this darkness. The rays of a light bulb immediately catch your eye, which immediately begins to illuminate the room. Her stomach growls and she opens the refrigerator door to take out the noodles. The kettle on the stove begins to boil, and as soon as Amelia turned it off, she felt that someone had buried her shoulder blades. By the tail wrapped around her legs, Amelia realized that this was none other than Gura. Amelia is not surprised by the fact that the maid is awake because she knows that Gura is always waiting for her when she returns from work.
"Why aren't you sleeping, my love?" Still decided to ask Amelia, stirring the liquid in the glass.
“It’s very cold without Ame,” Gura replies, lowering her hands down to touch her belly over the blonde’s shirt.
Amelia knows what the shark had under the pretext of "cold". She was very bored and sad to sleep in an empty bed, because they usually sleep together at night. Sighing, Amelia puts her mug down on the table and then turns around to meet blue eyes staring straight into her soul.
"You can go to bed, and I'll be back in a few minutes," Amelia says with a gentle smile, placing her hand on the blonde's cheek. “I promise, I’ll give you those hugs that you want so much later."
"Do you mind if I wait with you?" says Gura, bending down to bury her forehead in the blue-eyed woman's shoulder. “It's just that you're warm, and I don't want to leave you."
Amelia rolls her eyes but agrees to the shark's request. She turns back to the counter to grab her cup of tea and take a sip. Gura settled herself comfortably behind the blonde, watching Amelia's actions. Her tail swung in different directions as she looked at the girl.
After a few minutes, Amelia puts the mug down on the table and turns to Gura, whose tail is now twitching with joy that she can finally pull the red-haired girl into her arms. Amelia exhales in surprise when the girl almost climbs on her, wrapping her legs around the blue-eyed one's waist. She immediately grabs Gura so that she does not fall, and tries to equalize the balance, which failed from the first actions of the shark. Amelia feels hot breath on her ear, as well as a sound that resembles a cat's purr.
“It was lonely without you, Ame,” Gura mutters somewhere into the bend of the blonde’s neck, scorching her with her breath and sending goosebumps down her spine.
“Yes… I understand you, my love,” she replies, starting her movement around the living room.
Amelia will not hide the fact that she has been thinking about Gura all day long. She wanted to return home as soon as possible to hug her aeula and fall asleep also in her arms. But it was very useful for her to take the night shift, so that the number of days of “cuddling with her shark” would be more. Amelia kicks the door open to open it and enters their bedroom. The arms around her neck only wrap around her tighter, almost choking her breath.
"You'll have to let me go so you can get on the bed," Amelia says, then adds in a whisper. "Come on, my dear, and then I will hug you again."
It seems that Gura finally obeys her. She lowers the blue-eyed girl's neck, and Amelia lowers her to her feet to lie down on the bed. A few seconds later, Gura is already covered with a blanket. Amelia lifts the end to lie down next to the shark, and when she moves towards her, she is immediately pulled towards him again. Amelia still doesn't understand why every time Gura holds her close, she wants to hold her breath. The shark's embrace is cold, but it immediately warms them with its warmth. Gura's cold nose tickles her neck as she moves to find a comfortable place to hug.
“Good night, Ame,” Gura says quietly, giving in to stroking her cheek.
Amelia smiles before leaning in to kiss the girl on the forehead. Gura giggles with such tenderness and burrows deeper into Amelia's arms, feeling her breath on the back of her head.
"Good night, my little one."
Gura falls asleep first, dissolving in the warmth of their embrace. A murmur in the air, like a lullaby, makes Amelia close her eyes, immersed in the atmospheric noise. Even in a dream, Amelia does not stop drawing circles on the maid's back, calming Gura with this action so that she does not have unnecessary bad dreams.
End…
