a heady rush
Word count: 100
Challenge: First Impressions
Characters/pairing: Cobb/Mal
Warnings: None
Cobb clutches Mal's hand tightly, the other hand gripping his (brand-new) totem. Mal smiles, trying to reassure him, and Cobb wishes he could be as confident as her.
"Just relax, Dom." She rubs his knuckles gently, and Cobb takes a deep, shaky breath.
The building that appears in front of them is subtly wrong (it's not a good idea to think hard about how it works), but it's a decent first attempt. Cobb frowns, starting to improve it in little ways. Soon, a grin starts to form on his face.
"This is more fun than I thought it would be."
