CHAPTER TEN
The sounds of soft splashing pulled Michirus from her slumber, her eyes darting around the room registering where exactly she was. Baby green walls, dark emerald curtains and moss green sheets surrounded her making a face she turned brushing against Haruka who stirred. 'Morning.'
'Good Morning.' Michirus replied.
'Sleep well?' Haruka asked stretching.
'I did.' Michirus nodded propping herself up on her elbows her eyes focused on Haruka.
'What?' the blond asked catching Michiru's gaze.
'I can't stare at you?' Michirus teased. Haruka responded by poking her tongue out. 'Careful.' Michirus warned lightly. 'You shouldn't' stick your tongue out unless you're planning to use it.' Haruka blushed hard pulling Michirus over her and kissing her hard. 'And if I plan to use it?' Haruka challenged.
'Then by all means.' Michirus laughed. 'Thank you.' she added quietly.
'What for?' Haruka asked confused as Michirus settled herself in the blonds arms.
'For last night. For telling me everything. I know that wasn't easy.'
'Oh.' Haruka said holding Michiru tighter.
'Do you still talk to Grace?'
'She died last spring. Old age.' Haruka explained.
'You didn't go to the funeral.'
'We were to busy saving the world. I sent flowers. She knew how much she meant to me.'
'And her sister?'
'Gets a card every Christmas.' Haruka smiled feeling a great relief her shoulders less weighed down.
'I love you Haruka.'
'I love you Michiru.' Haruka returned pulling Michiru's lips to meet her own.
