This is an xmas present for liviona on tumblr, I might also post it there, I'm not sure yet. This is a brandishxdimaria modern AU
If someone had asked Brandish how her day had been going she probably would have flicked them off; it had been that crappy. First her project manager at work had decided to allocate budget elsewhere, which meant she was taken off the team, no holiday bonus for her now it seemed. Then, when she had gone out for her lunch break, intent on wallowing her sadness in pizza, a few idiots had decided to hit on her, persisting even when she told them that she was happily in a relationship.
Brandish was not the type of woman to raise her voice, or even become visibly upset with strangers, so she had spent her whole break cooly deflecting the guys' attention. She actually had to resort to giving one of them a fake number so they would leave her alone. Raising her voice or causing a commotion in a cafe like that would have been mortifying for her!
And, if that wasn't already enough, Clara, the girl who's cubicle was next to hers, had told her that she was expecting, which did not brighten Brandish's day a bit. She loved kids, and had always wanted a baby herself, but the time just wasn't right.
Evening found her drudging slowly out of the cab that dropped her at the familiar apartment off fifth street. She paid the cabbie and trudged up the stairs, irritated but unsurprised that the elevator had broken down; it figured, with her luck today.
She fumbled her many keys in front of her door, before hearing a satisfying clink that let her push it forward.
"I'm home," she called out, then proceeded to plop herself down on the couch, letting a sleepy haze take over.
"Randi, you're home!" said a brown haired woman, walking in from the kitchen; Brandish opened her eyes, letting her mouth turn upward a little bit, her girlfriend never failed to make her feel better."
"Hey Mari, I just got here, it's been a hell of a day, you won't believe it."
Dimaria smirked and came to sit down beside Brandish on the couch. She pressed a quick kiss to Brandish's cheek before burrowing her head into the green haired woman's bosom.
"Tell me all about it," Dimaria said, "Personally I just got promoted for the work I did on that last networking project but we're talking about you right now, so fire away."
"A promotion?! Wait but Mari, this is big news!" Brandish exclaimed, tilting her head down to look her girlfriend in the eye.
Dimaria smiled and closed her eyes, "It's not that big of a deal, really, right now I only care about what's gotten you into this funk."
So Brandish told her, told her about her shitty day, and after recounting the whole thing she had to admit she did feel a little better. Dimaria had listened intently the whole time, playfully curling Brandish's hair around her fingers.
"You know what this calls for?" said Dimaria, "Let's pop open that bottle of brandy your sister gave us for Christmas."
Brandish sighed and closed her eyes, "Why is your answer to everything alcohol?"
"Because it works babe," Dimaria said with a wink before getting up and walking over to the kitchen, "You'll thank me later."
And thank her she did, three hours later, as they were both drunk out of their minds. Brandish knew her life wasn't perfect, but Mari filled it with warmth, and judging by the bedroom eyes she was getting from her girlfriend, things were about to get a whole lot warmer.
not my usual style but its a present so lol
