I just finished this fic so I hope you enjoy it. Fluff all the way. Love you all and may be charoix canon. Amen.

Croix smiled as she felt something nuzzle against her, and even with her eyes still closed she managed to feel where Chariot was and hug her closer.

The red head copied her girlfriend and wrapped her arm around her waist, both sharing warmth as the soft noises of the rain lured them to sleep again.

But the older woman opened one eye and looked at the clock, groaning softly before she started running her hand softly on Chariot's arm.

"Char" she whispered softly and saw amused as Chariot only nuzzled closer to her chest, trying not to wake up.

"Babe wake up. It's kinda late" but even those words did nothing to wake her up.

Sighing, Croix kissed the top of her head gently and slowly got out of bed, giving Chariot a pillow to make up for her absence.

As she walked to the kitchen, she did a turn to the bathroom to wash her face and wake up better. Drying her face, she got her glasses again, choosing not to use her contact lenses at home.

As she got to the kitchen, she tried to think for something to make for Chariot.

Now, everyone might have thought that she didn't know how to cook anything beside instant noodles and that was true before.

But after she got with Chariot, her girlfriend made sure to teach her how to cook and Croix smiled fondly at the memories of them laughing and covered in eggs and flour.

Taking the eggs out, she broke them and saw as they fell on the pan, starting to be made. As the eggs took their time being made, she continued to take out a plate and a glass which she would fill with water.

Cutting the cheese in small pieces how Chariot liked it, she made sure to put them on the form of a smiley face, laughing at her own ideas.

Going at the eggs, she easily put them on the plate, humming proudly at herself at how good they looked. Throwing some salt at it, she continued to put the bacon beside it.

Her attention was stolen by Alcor, their bird who flew at Croix, looking at the bacon. Rolling her eyes she gave him a small part which he took on his mouth and then flew away again.

Too concentrated on making the plate look beautiful, she missed her girlfriend come behind her and a yelp cane from her mouth as she felt her hug Croix from behind.

"Good morning" murmured Chariot softly, laying a kiss on her neck and shoulder. Croix smiled and turned around, wrapping her arms around Chariot's neck as she leaned to kiss her softly.

"Morning to you too sleepy head" murmured Croix as she ended the kiss, making her girlfriend pout. Breaking the embrace, she pushed Chariot on the chair, and then she put the plate before her, enjoying the grin her girlfriend got on her face.

"Bon appetit. A delicious plate made by your own and only chef Croix Meridies"

Chariot giggled at her dramatic words as Croix kissed her again and continued to make a toast with cheese, tomatoes, olive oil and bacon for herself.

After finishing, she sat beside Chariot who continued to stay with her even after she finished her own plate.

"What will we do today?" asked Chariot as she took their plates and put them on the sink to be washed later.

Croix scratched her neck and motioned to the house.

"The house cleaning can be done tomorrow so if you want we can spend time looking from the window?" suggested Croix easily. Chariot grinned and her red hair flew behind her as she dragged Croix to the window.

Like always, Croix was the first one to sit on the space beside the window which they had made a good spot to look outside Paris. Then Chariot climbed between her legs and leaned on her embrace, Croix putting her chin on top of her head as their legs tangled together.

The rain always made Paris look beautiful in a sense from where they lived. Chariot hadn't known, but Croix had lived on France on their 10 years of not being friends. Now 5 years had passed since the time they had reunited again, and both witches worked at Luna Nova, even if Akko and her group had graduated a year ago.

It was funny in a sense. That year when Akko had left the school was way calmer and they both missed the brunette. But they sure wouldn't anymore when Akko had declared that she would come and visit them every Sunday, seeing she lived with Diana on her mansion where she now was the Head of the Cavendish family.

And that made Croix smirk as she leaned her head against the window, looking at Chariot.

"Hey Char, when do you think that Akko will propose?" the question made Chariot smile as she turned her head to look at Croix.

"Last time she came here she said she was planning to propose. But when, I don't know" nodding her head at the reply, Croix smiled when Chariot leaned again against her, making Croix nuzzle her face on her red hair.

Both smiled softly as Chariot took Croix's hand and started kissing it gently, making the engineer chuckle softly and laying a kiss on top of her head.

Chariot loved days like this. The rain which with it's soft sound made the silence between them feel comfortable and the view beside them which reminded them that they were home.

When she had discussed this with Croix, she had just laughed softly and petted her head gently. Chariot had been confused at the time, seeing that it was the first summer they spent here.

But at night, when they were laying on bed, Chariot asked her again why she had laughed when she had asked if she had choosen the house in France since she felt more at home in her country.

Croix had just turned at her and looked at her with eyes full of love and the reply she gave had made Chariot tear up and hug her.

"France isn't just my country, it's also yours. And as much as I didn't approve of your way of using the Shiny Rod back then, when you left I tried to connect to you in every way I could. Took your cape and started to copy how you were with others. When I saw this house here, I bought it without a second thought since this was where you lived and I felt more connected to you. So you can say that I didn't choose to live in France those 10 years since France felt like home, but since the thought that you were from France made me feel home. You are my home Chariot. My home is whenever you are"

Chariot smiled at her thoughts, kissing Croix's wrist gently as she turned sideways, her arm going behind Croix to hug her there while the other went on her stomach to lay there. Croix let her move until she had found her favourite position, ear on Croix's chest where she could hear her heartbeat while her legs moved to lay between Croix's, who tangled her legs with Chariot's to keep them warm.

"I really love days like this" murmured Chariot, wanting nothing to distract her from Croix's heartbeat, even her own voice.

Croix hugged her closer and leaned her face against her hair, closing her eyes to bathe fully into the moment.

"Same for me. I love just laying with you here enjoying each other" and she chuckled when she felt Chariot pinch her gently, knowing she haf caught the second meaning behind her words.

Snuggling, Croix felt the warmness she got from Chariot and the sound of the rain lure her again to sleep. Now that she thought of it, a nap wasn't a bad idea.

"Let's take a small nap" said Croix and she felt Chariot nod her head lazily, the red head being half asleep.

Lacing their hands together, she leaned her head against the window and let her eyes close again.

"Je t'aime Chariot"

And before sleep took her, she felt Chariot tighten the grip on her hands and murmur something which made Croix smile before sleep took her.

"Je t'aime aussi Croix"

And Chariot did, the same way Croix loved her. For all times until eternity. A love which had been tested by time and still had managed to live and bloom even after all problems. Problems which they were sure they wouldn't face anymore.
