X-Ray
Hospital waiting rooms are universally loud, dull, and frustrating. They're uncomfortable and stuffy, and the company leaves a lot to be desired. Faye and Diana were staring at opposite sides of the room, each lost in their own thoughts. Faye was holding a bag of ice to her eye; Diana one to her nose.
They had been practicing a spell right out of Harry Potter: if done properly it would turn statues into defensive sentinels. If done improperly, like it had been, the statues were turned into raging golems, stopping their rampaged only when Melissa and Jake Crushed them. They hadn't been fast enough to stop Faye and Diana from getting belted in the face, but at least nothing important had been destroyed.
Faye glanced at Diana through her good eye, guilt crushing her throat. She hadn't wanted to hurt her: the entire point of the spell was to keep them from getting hurt. She turned her attention back to her knees. "I'm sorry."
Diana sighed. "It's alright. " She turned to Faye. "I know you didn't mean for this to happen."
"Still," Faye countered. "I'm really sorry. "I didn't think it would hurt you." She took Diana's hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it, holding it to her chest. Diana smiled beneath the ice.
"Tell you what. If nothing's broken I won't hold it against you, okay? So you can stop hating yourself now."
"But what if it is broken?"
"Then my nose is broken. It's not the end of the world, Faye." Diana's tone was firm. "You and I both know it was an accident, and we're going to treat it as such and move on. I'm not going to ruin your life by making you feel guilty about this." She pressed a quick kiss to Faye's good eye, flinching as her nose throbbed. "I love you, and that isn't going to stop because of some stupid accident both of us caused. Got it?" Faye nodded, clearly restraining herself from speaking further. "Good."
They left three hours later, clean bills of health in their hands. Diana kissed her, over and over until Faye's guilt bled away, replaced with the love she usually felt.
This wasn't her fault, and Diana would spend forever convincing her of that if she had to.
