"I think I'm dying," Cosima whispered, her body trembling from the cold.
"I won't let you," Delphine promised, her brown eyes watery. She had barely survived the last time Cosima was sick. Before Cosima, she didn't think it was possible to love another human so entirely. She peeled her clothes off, rushing back to Cosima's side. "I'll keep you warm," she whispered.
She let out a deep exhale. Cosima's body was like one big icicle, and it felt like Delphine needed super powers to keep from freezing both of them out.
She kissed Cosima, trying to warm her blue lips. Her hands stroked Cosima's cheeks. "Warm up for me. Please," she whispered.
Delphine let her long blonde hair splash over Cosima's torso as she left soft kisses along her stomach. She rubbed her own cheek against Cosima's torso, nuzzling into her. "Come on, baby," she whispered. "I need you."
She blew hot air against Cosima's breasts. The motion made Cosima moan although she didn't open her eyes.
"Show me those beautiful eyes," Delphine begged, repeating the motion. Cosima remained quiet and unconscious.
"I'm sorry," Delphine whispered, stroking her cheek. "I pushed you away. I broke your heart and said nothing. I cried in Felix's hallway instead of fighting for you. I thought I was protecting you," she whispered, tears spilling from her eyes.
Cosima made a soft whimper as her cheek was sprinkled with Delphine's tears. Still she was too weak to regain consciousness.
"I love you, Cosima. I've always loved you. You came back for me once. You told me. Do it again. Please," she sobbed, lowering herself. She buried her head in the crook of Cosima's neck, crying uncontrollably.
Cosima opened her eyes, weakly. "Del?" She whispered, her hand reaching into the void. Delphine sat up, sniffling as she clutched Cosima's hand.
"I'm here, baby. I'm here for you," she whispered, pressing her body against Cosima's. "I'm here."
"I love you."
"I love you," Delphine sniffled, smiling.
