Cophine: Midnight Whispers
Cosima feels Delphine's fingers trace the line of her jaw, the seam of her lips, and the slope of her neck. There's a simplicity in the way she explores and memorizes her skin, following her fingertips with her lips. Her eyes are contently closed, happy to simply feel the way Delphine loves her.
Their bodies are pressed completely together, legs tangled and chests pushing against one another with each breath. Cosima's eyes flutter slightly when she feels Delphine's breath warm against her lips. A hand comes up to rest against the side of her face, fingers lightly brushing against her hair.
"Cosima." Delphine's voice is whispered silk into the quiet dark of their room, so quiet if they weren't so close Cosima didn't know if she'd be able to hear her. "Are you awake?"
Letting her eyes slowly open, Cosima feels a lump in her throat at the look Delphine is giving her. Her eyes are full to bursting with love, a warmth that Cosima can almost feel against her skin. She feels more than sees the smile that appears on Delphine's lips when she realizes she is, in fact, awake.
"Delphine." Cosima's whisper is just as light as Delphine's, her lips quirking into a smileas well. A soft shiver travels through Delphine's body at the utterance of her name like that from Cosima's lips, a chuckle slipping through when she feels it. "Hey."
"Hello." Delphine can't help but lean in that last breath between them to press a kiss to Cosima's lips, lingering for a long sweet moment. When she pulls back, she keeps just as close as before, her fingers going back to their tracing. A shaky sigh full of emotion, a million things building in her chest. She doesn't know what else she can say except, "Je t'aime."
Cosima smiles softly, seeing the build up of everything through Delphine's eyes. She leans forward, feeling the same impact as her own heart beats in her chest like a drum. "I love you, too."
