Chapter 6: Home Again, Home Again
Yeah, the last couple chapters were me writing myself out of a corner, and I hope I never have to do that again because they were really confusing and had no point except to avoid telling about "What Do Psychonauts Do All Day" because I have no clue. I like the end of the last chapter, though. It was sweet. So here is SashaMilla in its purest form.
Dogan, I love you! ;)
Sasha: It was good to see Milla again. After the whole disaster with Truman's kid, then all the Psychonauts stuff, even the thoughts of having to deal with the dumb little kids of Whispering Rock were masked by the thought of seeing Milla again. Whispering Rock was a summer camp, but, as psychic kids were sometimes not accepted by anyone around them, it was also a refuge for psychic children. Unofficially, of course. Among them, of course, was Dogan. Sasha didn't know what Milla saw in him. Sure, he was a powerful psychic, but he was too unstable to do anything with that power. He needed to learn control.
He rode the tunnels to the lake, levitated to Milla's docking area, and lifted the door telekinetically. He dropped down. Milla turned around.
"Hi, Milla."
Milla: It all spilled out so quickly. She just couldn't bottle up her emotions like Sasha could.
"Oh, Sasha, it was so sweet, see, I still have the letter, I'll treasure it forever, it was so nice of you to send me it, it really shows me how much you careā¦." All of the thoughts in her mind poured into his. After that, though, he put two gloved fingers to her lips, bent her backwards over his knee, and kissed her.
Joy exploded in both of their minds. His feelings for her were released, as were hers for him. All of these feelings of love, joy, and gratitude melded together and formed a heart-shaped bubble that, if it had been formed of anything other that emotion, would have been pink or red. It was an expanding bubble of love, pure and simple. They knew then that they were truly meant for each other.
Right then, thoughts and worries didn't matter, and they were both feeling something so powerful that it could never be explained in words. The kiss lasted for maybe half a minute, but they felt more then than they had ever felt in one hour of their lives. Even Milla had never felt such strong feeling in any part of her life. They reached an unspoken decision then that, in that small fragment of time, was even unthought by both of them. They would be together forever.
Yeah, I know that's a little overdone on the love part, but let's face it, it makes good filler. They needed to kiss like that sometime, and I can't make something like that into just a little thing. It's a short chapter, but it's supposed to be read slowly, and for the amount of space it takes up, the working took forever. The network hates me, so even though I've written upgrades for both stories tonight, I can't upgrade until next morning. It heckuv sux.
Thanks, Violetwitch! Great to know that more than four people read my fanfic!
