When Cosima woke up the next morning she was glad to see that she fell asleep on top of Delphine. She woke up to the sight of her neck and to some of her hair that smelled really good. It was surprising that it smelled good because they practically sweated all night.
"Mmmm," Cosima hummed softly as she stretched over Delphine. She shifted her body so that she was directly on top of her. Cosima's breasts on top of Delphine's, Cosima's hands above Delphine's head. She kissed Delphine softly and playfully bit her ear, trying to avoid waking her up.
Delphine smiled, kissing Cosima's cheek and lips. "I love waking up to you," she whispered.
Cosima smoothed her hands through Delphine's hair. "I love waking up to you too." She kissed Delphine on the lips more passionately. Delphine touched every part of her body, she loved it.
"We should really get ready for work," Delphine laughed. It was still early in the morning, they hardly slepted but they didn't mind.
Cosima moaned. "Can't we just skip work today?"
"As much as I would love to, we can't," Delphine lifted Cosima's chin with her finger, rubbing Cosima's lips gently. She looked into her eyes and smiled. She saw herself in her future and it made her so happy.
"Fine, you're right. Scott has enough work experience to cover us both, so I mean... It's not like we're leaving him hanging..."
"Cosima."
"I know, I know. Let's go," Cosima said while slowly getting up from Delphine.
It took an hour for them to get ready for work, (as much as they wanted to spend more time in the shower together they knew they shouldn't). They arrived to work on time and they were both ecstatic that they weren't enemies, or avoiding each other; they were together and untied like they used to be.
They walked into the lab holding hands. Scott had his back towards them and was sitting up straight, he seemed to be lost in thought and expecting them.
"Hey gu-...," Scott said but cut off once he saw them holding hands. He beamed and looked at Cosima and Delphine by raising his eyebrow and giving them a look of understanding and pleasure.
"Oh. Well, hello there cophine- I mean Cosima and Delphine," Scott said/coughed into his arm. Cosima rolled her eyes. Delphine looked confused.
"Cophine?" Delphine asked.
"Ignore him. It's his and Alison's stupid ship name they made about us," Cosima said. Delphine smirked, seeming to like the name.
"As much as I'd like to hear about how wonderful your nights were, I think mine tops them about a million," Scott beamed.
"I seriously doubt that," Cosima said while raising her eyebrows. Delphine's face turned red.
"I finished making the cure," Scott said. He exhaled and it was easy to see the relief and joy he felt from finishing it.
"You're kidding," Cosima said.
"Scott, making a formula that complex could take longer than just two-full days work. There's no way," Delphine added.
"Then I guess we'll have to test it and see," Scott answered. Cosima and Delphine agreed, not hiding their doubt in Scott.
Cosima laid on top of one the tables they cleared from their science equipment. The table was cold and she was scared. She didn't want to die and she didn't know how much longer she had. She hated getting negative results in anything she did; a negative result in this test would result in another failed test added to her list. She hated that feeling of her hope shriveling up piece by piece and dying.
"Ready?" Scott asked, with the needle in hand.
"Always," Cosima said. She stopped her voice from shaking or from seeping any emotion of what she felt. Delphine wasn't fooled, she supportively grabbed her right arm and rubbed it slowly back and forth. It was comforting and Cosima was thankful for it.
Scott carefully plunged the needle into her relaxed left arm. It was a long needle and it stung, Cosima could feel it nearly touching her bone. She immediately felt dizzy. Her body felt numb and she could feel herself getting pulled into a deep sleep.

Cosima's first day of college went wonderfully. She was positive she could pass all of her classes, her teachers were nice, she even made a few friends and she hit it off with her roommate. It's far less scary than she thought it would be.
"A few friends and I are going out tonight, would you want to come with us?" Karen asked. Karen's Cosima's roommate, and she's probably the nicest and most accepting person she has ever met. Karen took one look at Cosima at orientation and already declared they should be friends and share a dorm. Cosima was taken aback at first, how could someone be so kind and straightforward? But this was college, there's plenty of people here with unique personalities. She immediately accepted and she's so glad she did.
"No thanks, maybe next time. I need to organize this mess," Cosima said while gesturing to her clothes and paperwork all over her bed and side of her room.
Karen giggled. "Alright, see you in the morning maybe," Karen winked and left.
Karen is hot. She's the same height as Cosima and she's brunette too, plus kindness is a major turn on. A part of Cosima hoped she's at least bisexual but she doubted it. Karen's side of the room had pictures on her wall of family and friends. Many of them of a young boy who looked around their age; he didn't look like a relative.
Cosima slowly walked to Karen's side of the room. She wouldn't touch anything, she just wanted to look. Karen had another picture on her desk of her accepting an award for some science study. Cosima wouldn't be surprised if she was a junior or senior. Cosima looked higher on the wall but then saw something odd. It was a weird mask of a clown. Karen must've thought it looked cool but it looked downright creepy. But it wasn't the mask that caught Cosima's eyes. It was what was in the masks mouth, something small was blinking a red light. Cosima knew what it was before she took off the mask to investigate. She was never the annoying roommate who looked through the others things, but she was glad she did for once. This was too much. It was a small camera. One that could only be seen if a person was standing directly next to Karen's bed, which she was.
This is disgusting. The camera aimed directly at Cosima's bed, clearly able to see pretty much anything Cosima did. Cosima looked around the room and at more of Karen's things. She ended up finding two more cameras. One in Karen's calendar that also faced Cosima's side of the room and on a bottle in the bathroom.
Cosima shook her head in utter disgust. What the hell was this? What was wrong with Karen? Taking out her phone, Cosima texted her.
"Come back to the dorm, I need to speak to you. It's an emergency."
"Is everything all right? I'm on my way!"
Karen got there twenty minutes later. When she walked in she saw the three cameras on her bed and looked startled, her face becoming stark white.
"What the hell is this?" Cosima asked. "Are you obsessed with me or something?" Cosima's voice was stern and definitely showed how pissed off she was. She couldn't help but shake a little, whatever this was it scared the hell out of her. She never would've expected for this to happen on her first day of college.
Karen didn't say anything for a while. She seemed to be thinking about what to say or do. She shook her head. "I'm so sorry, Cosima." She grabbed a bag from under her bed and started packing her clothes and the pictures on her wall.
"What? No explanation? You nearly filmed me and now you're going to leave just like that once you get caught? I can call the cops still. What the hell is this, am I some science experiment to you or something?" Cosima's voice cracked. She was losing it.
"I can't tell you. I'm just sorry that I got caught." She started to walk out of the dorm, but Cosima stopped her by grabbing her arm.
"Please give me a hint as to what the hell this is about." Cosima stared at her with serious and stern eyes. She hoped it's enough to startle the girl into making her tell her.
"It's about you... You're special. Good luck. And Cosima... Don't trust anyone." Karen gave Cosima one last look of sorrow and left.
