Framing: After the Funhouse incident
Priss woke in a silent scream. Sweat plastered her brown hair as she brought her knees up to chest. Great another fuckin' nightmare! She thought to herself as she shut her eyes tightly to get her nightmare out of her head. Most likely she'll have difficulty going back to sleep as she pressed her forehead against her knees, trying to hold back her sniffling.
Her nightmare seemed to go noticed as she felt an arm come across her shoulders. "Priss? Are you okay, Love? I heard you heard you sniffling, almost as if you were going to cry." Cover Girl asked, but she was starting to get worried when Priss didn't answer. "Priss, talk to me."
"It's was just a bad dream." Priss muttered turning her back to Cover Girl. "It's nothing."
"No, it's not nothing." Cover Girl retorted, "Priss," She softly begged, "Please talk to me. I know you love me but I hope you trust me."
"It's stupid…"
"No, Priss," Cover Girl retorted, "Nothing that comes from you is ever stupid."
For the longest time prior to meeting Sylia, Priss never allowed anyone to get close her because either she was abused in some way or she was afraid of losing them. But she glanced over to her girlfriend. "It was a nightmare," she softly admitted. Cover Girl placed a soft hand onto her's and gave it a gentle squeeze telling her it was okay. "We were captured by Cobra and… I had to watch you being tortured with the Commander laughing at me." Priss' tough girl façade started to break down as tears ran from her red eyes. "Then they killed you!"
Cover Girl reached out to wipe the tears from her Lover's face. "Priss, please continue."
"I was powerless to do anything. I don't want to lose you, Courtney." Priss sobbed.
The redheaded Joe drew in the crying Knight Saber. Priss always had this tough girl façade like she could have everything thrown at her and would not faze her. But she started to see Priss' vulnerable side when Cobra was interrogating Priss on her hardsuit and after the Funhouse incident when in a fit of rage, Priss accidently punched Cover Girl. "Priss, can I tell you something?"
"Yeah," Priss whispered, her voice quivering.
"You'll never lose me and you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because of you. You're my knight in shining armor. You will always be there for me." Cover Girl answered giving Priss a soft kiss on the forehead. "I will always be there for you and I will always love you Priss."
"I love you too, babe." Priss sadly answered but she was a bit calmer.
"Priss, let's go back to sleep." Cover Girl whispered as she pulled Priss down onto the bed still holding her close. She watched as Priss drifted back to sleep but she started to whimper; Cover Girl slowly rubbed her back. "Its okay love, I'm here." Cover Girl softly cooed as she stroked her lover's cheek with her index and middle finger of her left hand as Priss drifted back into a more peaceful slumber.
