Hana woke up the next morning to find Olivia's arms still caressing her gently, she gave a small smile and intertwined one of her hands with her girlfriend's. She laid there a few minutes longer, before gently making her way out of the bed and into her living room, she shut her bedroom door behind her as she exited. Hana picked up her phone and dialed Lucio's number, taking a seat on her couch.
"Hana! What's up girl?"
"Sorry I keep bugging you, you're one of my only friends."
"Psh, don't even apologize for that, you know I like talking to you!"
"I appreciate you Lucio, I really do."
"So whats up bunny?"
"Sombra spent the night at my apartment, we slept in the same bed, she was trying to convince me that she's a bad person and a bad influence but I just can't see it with how soft she is. Am I just blind? I'm not letting affection blind me am I?"
"Listen Hana, people are their own worst critics of themselves, Sombra probably just didn't want to hurt you by being different from who you are, being different doesn't make you bad, right?"
Hana paused for a few moments, contemplating his words carefully.
"Thanks Lucio, I know I can always count on you, lets hang out soon okay?"
"You bet, talk to you soon."
Hana hung up her phone, and turned around to see Sombra standing in her doorway, she flinched and dropped her phone.
"J-Jeez! How long were you standing there? You scared me." Hana leaned down to pick up her phone and avoided eye contact for a moment hoping Sombra didn't hear the bulk of their conversation.
Sombra casually walked over to her and draped an arm over her shoulder. "So..."
"So what?" Dva inquired.
"So what's your conclusion? Am I bad and you're lovestruck? Or am I really soft?" She looked away with a smirk.
"So you did hear me."
"Uh huh."
Hana went quiet, before turning to Olivia and wrapping her arms around her in a tight embrace.
"I don't think you're bad! Not at all! Not even a little bit!" Dva dug her nose into Olivia's shoulder.
Sombra said nothing and rested her chin on Hana's head. After a few moments, Hana felt water dropping onto her head.
"Olivia..? Are you okay..?" Hana hugged her a little bit tighter and turned her face to the side.
"W-What.. What is this..?" Olivia muttered out.
"What is what?"
"A feeling.. THIS feeling.. I don't get it. I'm crying but I'm not sad, my heart is beating rapidly, what IS this Hana?"
"Um well.. Crying doesn't always happen because you're sad. Are you happy? Like really happy? Are you scared? Are you just feeling pent up?"
"Uh.. All of the above?"
"I'm here for you Olivia. Do you need to sit down? I can get you tissues."
"Please."
Hana let go of her and went into her bathroom as Olivia sat on the couch, she came back with a box of tissues and sat next to her as she wiped her eyes and nose. Hana waited patiently for Sombra to calm down slightly, when she did, Olivia laid her head on Hana's shoulder, she tensed up for a second, but then relaxed laying her head on Sombra's.
"Do you think you're a bad person Sombra?"
"I always have miel, I've never seen myself as anything but bad."
"..You're a bad judgement of yourself."
"And how do you know that?"
"Cause I'm a bad judgement of myself too Olivia."
"Come on now querido, you're just saying that to make me feel better."
"No! It's true!"
Hana stood up from the couch and ventured into her room, coming back out with a small notebook in her hands.
"Everytime I... Have a negative thought about myself, I write it down so I can think on it later. Whether that be good or bad I guess is just up to me but.. But look!"
She opened the small notebook and flipped through the pages.
"It's almost full.. I have a lot of bad thoughts.."
Sombra stood up from the couch and carefully grabbed the notebook, staring at a few pages and handing it back to Dva.
"Then.. We can work on these together." Olivia said shyly.
"Work on them..? Together?"
"Yeah! I mean.. If you think you're a bad person, and I think I'm one, but neither of us think the other is then.. Then we can sort out our issues together."
Hana's eyes lit up as she rushed in to hug Olivia again.
"Cute cute, you're really cute." She muttered.
"Miel, we've already talked about this, YOU'RE the cute one."
"We're both cute Sombra! No lies!"
"But-"
"No buts! None! I won't have them!"
"What about yours? Can I have that one?"
Hana took a second to process before she gently pushed Olivia away from her.
"That's pervy!"
Sombra let out a meek chuckle and placed a hand on her head. "So innocent." Sombra moved her hand and placed a finger gently on Dva's nose with a "Boop!" before placing it back at her side.
Sombra pulled her phone out of her pocket and checked the time.
"Ah dammit, it is about that time." She said, avoiding eye contact with Hana.
"You have to leave..?"
Olivia nodded her head, placing a hand on Hana's shoulder.
"I'm going to actually be leaving today, like leaving your town, but it won't be til late so.. Could you see me off tonight?"
Hana crossed her arms and stared at the floor, wondering how to react to this.
"I guess I could do that.." She said with a pout.
Sombra leaned in and kissed Dva's forehead, Dva blushed, still pouting and looking away.
"Holding your ground, I admire that Hana. I'll see you tonight okay? I'll swing by here before I leave."
Hana uncrossed her arms and grasped one of Sombra's hands. "I'll miss you."
"H-Hey! Don't miss me just yet! I haven't totally left." She said with a chuckle. "See you later Hana."
"Bye Olivia."
Hana invited Lucio over after Olivia left, she'd never really liked someone so quickly before, so being alone was rather painful at the moment.
"So how'd things go with your girl Bunny?" Lucio asked happily.
"Things went fine, good even. I just wish she didn't have to leave, I wish I didn't have to be apart from her, it sucks but I guess I'll manage."
"You really like her huh?"
"SO MUCH. So so much Lucio. I wasn't even sure if I liked women before her but I'm falling and I've fallen hard." Hana hid her hands in her face. "It's so weird.." She muttered.
Lucio smiled and wrapped an arm around her. "You're feeling the love! There's nothing wrong in that!"
"L-Love? We've only been dating for a day now.."
"And you've felt this before you were dating too Hana, you know you were."
Hana blushed looking away and scratching the back of her head. "I guess so. A-Anyways, can we just play some games? I don't want to think about this anymore than I need to."
"Alright girl, lets play some games."
The pair played games until late, chuckling and gently shoving the other to try and throw off their hands on the controllers they held. Their laughs were interrupted by a knocking on Hana's apartment door.
"Is it really that time already? Oh no.." Hana sighed looking down at her hands before standing up and walking towards the door. She hesitated, took a deep breath, and reached out for the door handle, when she opened it, Sombra was waiting on the other side.
"Hola miel. How are you?" Olivia said sweetly.
Hana just paused as all the butterflies she tucked down suddenly fluttered free, her cheeks glowed lightly.
"Hana? Are you alright?" She said, placing a gentle hand on the smaller woman's face.
Dva looked up instantly after the contact and retorted "Y-Yeah! I'm fine! Sorry! Please come in, Lucio is here too."
Sombra grasped at Hana's hand, and followed her inside, Lucio turned around from his seat on the couch and greeted them.
"Hi! I'm Lucio! You must be Hana's girlfriend, she goes on and on about you."
"Oh does she now?" Sombra said with a smirk, glancing at her girlfriend.
Hana's face went completely red and she placed her free hand over her nose and mouth.
"Lucio this is Sombra, Sombra this is Lucio." She said abruptly.
"Hana, there's no need to be so embarrassed, I'm happy that you talk about me." Olivia responded, leaning in and kissing Dva's cheek.
"You two are so cute, need a minute alone? I can step out." Lucio said reassuringly.
"We'd appreciate it."
Lucio flashed finger guns at the pair before standing up and exiting the apartment, shutting the door behind him.
There was a comfortable silence that filled the room for a few minutes before Hana decided to speak up.
"I wish you didn't have to leave."
"I mean I don't HAVE to."
"You don't?" Hana replied somewhat confused.
"Not if you come with me." Sombra said with a slight plea in her voice.
"If only I could Olivia.."
"You'd have a lot to leave behind, I get that."
Sombra turned to her girlfriend and gently wrapped her arms around her.
"I'm going to miss you mi amor."
Dva hugged Sombra tightly and began to weep quietly.
"I don't want you to go."
"I know, I know." Sombra raised a hand and ran it through Hana's hair.
Hana stepped back from Olivia and looked up at her, wiping her eyes.
"C-Can I ask you something Olivia?"
"Shoot."
"Can we.. Can we video call sometimes while you're on the road? Please?"
Olivia thought about it for a second, placing her thumb and forefinger on her chin.
"If we did, it would probably have to be late at night, because I work as a manager most days."
"T-That's fine! We can talk until I fall asleep! Or you can even stay on call while sleeping.."
Sombra gave a gentle smile and placed a hand on Hana's head.
"I'd be glad to keep you company at night. ANY kind of company." She said with a wink.
"That wasn't meant to be a dirty thing.." Hana said, averting her eyes with a blush.
"But do you want it to be?"
Hana said nothing and kept her averted glance.
"You totally do!"
"Get away from me! You're so weird!" Hana said jokingly, as she began to run away from Olivia.
"I can guarantee I'm faster than you Hana!" She said, chasing after her.
The two ran around the small apartment for a short while, before Sombra caught up to Dva, and scooped her up in her arms.
"Got you." Sombra said playfully.
"You got me!" Hana said, placing both her hands on her girlfriend's shoulders. "I'm going to miss this."
"I know querido, but I'll be back before you know it, and I'll call you at night, I promise."
Olivia walked Dva over to her couch and dropped her on it.
Dva stood up and held her arms out.
"One last hug before you go..?"
"Of course miel."
Sombra embraced her tightly, placing a kiss on her forehead before heading towards the door.
"I'll see you later?"
"You'd better." Hana said.
She gave a smile and walked out, Lucio noticed this and walked back in to a teary-eyed Hana, he made his way to her and gave her a hug.
"I miss her already Lucio."
"I know you do Bunny, it'll be okay." He said, rubbing a hand on her back for comfort.
"The worst part? I want to make a stupid decision because of her."
"Stupid decision?"
"I want to drop everything and go with her like she offered."
"Love makes you feel crazy things Hana. You'll sort yourself out soon, I'm sure of it."
"I.. I hope so."
Hana rolled over in her bed, tapping her phone screen twice so that it illuminated slightly.
"1:37am.." She muttered to herself. "She's never this late.." Hana's eyes fluttered for a moment, before she began to doze off. 45 minutes later her phone rang. Her ringtone played a few times before she jolted awake and glanced over at her phone with tired eyes. She picked up.
"Hana..? Are you there?" Olivia's voice came through clearly.
"Y-Yeah.. Yeah I'm here, 안녕 가장 사랑하는.."
"I'm.. Really sorry I'm late, the band got held up and we ended up getting out later than expected.. Mis disculpas."
"You don't have to apologize.. It's okay." Hana said with a yawn, before laying back down.
"How are you doing? Did I wake you up?"
"Yeah, you did, but it's okay. You're always worth waking up for."
The two sat in silence for a while, Olivia doing small tasks around the tour bus.
Hana finally broke the silence.
"What would it be like?"
Olivia paused what she was doing and looked towards her phone screen, Hana's tired eyes staring back at her.
"What would.. What be like miel?"
"What would it be like traveling with you..? Do you think I'd have fun? Be happy? Are YOU happy?"
Sombra paused for a moment. "It.. Can be pretty stressful, but that may just be because I'm the manager of a popular band? I can't say I can be the judge of whether YOU'LL be happy Hana. What does your heart say?"
"My heart says that it's sad that I can't hug you everyday. Almost a year of this long-distance stuff and my heart is aching.. "
"You've been thinking a lot about this haven't you?"
"I miss you."
Olivia gulped, hearing that made her heart skip slightly. She reached for her phone and muted her mic before walking over and talking to the band members. Hana tried to read the lips of them, but failed to do so properly out of drowsiness. So she waited patiently for Sombra to return. After a few minutes, Olivia sauntered back over to her phone and unmuted her mic.
"Hana? I'm coming to see you."
Dva instantly felt like she was completely awake. "What? You're coming to see me?"
"Yeah! It.. makes me really sad to see you that way, so I'm gonna take my car and drive out to see you. The band has another upcoming concert in your area, so I'll just.. Stay with you until they show up! I talked to them, they're totally fine with it."
Dva looked around for a moment before digging her face into her pillow and smiling wildly. After the excitement wore off, drowsiness washed over her again. She picked her face up from her pillow.
"Olivia.. I'm so so excited about that.. But I'm also so tired.."
"Then go to sleep querido, we can talk more tomorrow, I won't be late again."
"Promise..?"
"I promise."
