A Moment of Quiet

Summary:

Tinn and Gun talk, after.

(A tiny little piece that was supposed to just be a writing exercise until I edited it into something I felt like sharing. Non-traditional storytelling on purpose; that was the goal of the exercise.)

(Yes, it's part of a series, but you don't have to read the others for this one to make sense!)

Notes:

*appears, chucks this at you, runs*

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Tinn?

...mmf?

Are you asleep?

Mm. Nearly.

... worn out?

Mmn. Just... relaxed.

Oh.

(A moment of quiet.)

...Tinn?

Mm.

Was that... did you... was it – okay?

Hmmm. Yes, it was. Better than okay.

Yeah?

Yeah. I really liked that.

Yeah? Me too.

You did?

Yeah. It was... I was really nervous, actually.

You were?

Yeah. It's... a lot, you know? We haven't... I didn't want to – to do it wrong.

You didn't. You couldn't.

I could have. I might have done something... weird. Or, or something you don't like –

Hey, I loved it. Everything about that. Every part, okay?

Yeah?

You were incredible, Gun. I’m so happy.

...

Because it's you. You know? It's always you. You mean so much to me, and anything I get to do with you is amazing.

I just want it to be what you – what you want, you know?

It was. ...We don't have to know everything right away. I'm happy to explore what we like. As long as we share about it. As long as we're honest with each other, yeah?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I... that sounds. Good.

But you liked it, too? Yeah?

Mmm.

Yeah? It was... good?

Oh, yes. I didn't… I mean, it felt great, Tinn. Uh.

Tell me. It’s okay.

You were so...

So...?

Uh, so… good? It's like you knew exactly what I wanted. And you did it. I just wish I could have… that I didn’t, like, uh, immediately...

Oh! Hey, that’s okay too! I was really happy. Honestly.

...you were?

Gun, I loved that. Seeing that. Sharing that. And you – I mean... I couldn’t hold on, either.

Yeah?

Oh, god, yeah. ...If it matters to you that we go slower, we’ll just… we’ll keep at it, yeah?

Y-yeah. Yeah! Okay. Good. Yeah, because it was... amazing, the whole time. You're… Tinn, you’re amazing.

Oh. Well, ah, good. You were, too, you know. If you couldn't, ah, tell.

Yeah?

Absolutely. I really like the way you touch me, Gun. And when you, uh, sh-showed me. On you.

Oh. It wasn't too much?

Never. I loved it.

(A brief moment of quiet.)

...okay, good.

Mm. Come here.

Tinn!

I want to cuddle, come here.

It's hot...

You're hot.

Tinnnnn... Tinn!

(A lot of giggling, and rustling of bedsheets. Then a long moment of quiet.)

...Tinn?

Mm?

I love you.

I love you too, Gun.

Notes:

This was just a little writing exercise for my brain, and it was Dialogue Only for the first draft until I decided on a couple of parentheticals, which also gave this its eventual title. It was honestly never going to see the light of day, but I kept poking and editing it until it felt 'finished', and now I don't know what to do with it... except share it with you.

I don't think many of you will read this one, but I hope the few who do enjoy it! Thanks for indulging me. 💜
