// ONE // POST HUG SCENE //
“I swear to you, I’m not.” Miorine stated, voice wavering. She totally was.
Suletta smiled and leaned into her touch, grabbing onto her properly. Her arms tightened around the younger girls small waist, holding her tight. Keeping her safe and secure.
Their embrace lasted a while, neither of them willing to let go. The comfort both girls found in one another was exactly what they needed at that moment. All roles and responsibilities left Miorine for once in her life, and the opposite could be said for Suletta. In every sense of the word: both girls found balance.
Suletta pulled away first, eyes courageously searching Miorine’s. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, sparkling brilliantly under the fluorescent lights. Miorine was still lying to herself, and to Suletta… but that was okay. Just this once.
Slowly, the young pilot reached her right hand forward and brushed the pad of her thumb across the corners of Miorine’s eyes, catching tears that were threatening to fall. It must have been hard for her to be so vulnerable.
And then she caught it. Miorine’s gaze fell to Suletta’s lips. Then back up to her eyes. And then she did it again, eyes, lips.
Suletta had read about this before, had seen it in her anime. It was the perfect opportunity for a kiss- right? She was nervous, but she knew this was her chance. Move forward, gain two.
Slowly, so that Miorine would have the chance to back away if it was something she didn’t want, Suletta leaned forward and gently pressed their lips together.
They were soft. They were warm. Suletta’s brain felt fuzzy and her heart skipped a beat. Was this heaven?
She let her lips linger a moment before pulling back.
Miorine’s face had remained relatively unchanged, but her cheeks were a touch more red. Her lips parted ever so slightly- but Suletta didn’t know if it was as a reaction to what had just transpired, or perhaps she was going to say something—
“Ah-“ Miorine clipped, a soft sound. She had completely frozen up. “Again.” She requested, leaning back into Suletta.
So Suletta kissed her again.
