Scorpia woke up with arms around her waist. She yawned and glanced over at Perfuma, still sleeping. Even as Scorpia shifted, Perfuma kept a fierce grip on her, eyes still closed and breathing evenly. Scorpia stared at her face, freckles dotting her cheeks, and marveled at the peaceful expression.
She could get used to this.
There was no morning training to run. No mission to rush off to. No explosion in the middle of the night from an Entrapta experiment gone wrong. Just a soft, quiet night with the girl she loved.
Well, eventually quiet.
Discussing the relationship with Glimmer and Bow had been… eventful. They were expressive people, and not afraid to show when they were shocked. They had also suggested Scorpia go to jail, but Perfuma threatened mutiny from that, and the two of them backed down for now.
Scorpia cuddled closer to Perfuma. Of course she had done crimes against Bright Moon and the Princess Rebellion, but hopefully her powers in support of the cause could be her atonement. She would rather be on the battlefield beside Perfuma than in a jail cell.
Perfuma stirred, and her eyes fluttered open. Upon seeing Scorpia, her face broke out into a smile. Scorpia could not help but to return the smile with her own. Scorpia kissed Perfuma's forehead. "Good morning."
Perfuma returned the kiss, but meeting lips. "Any morning with you is a good morning."
Scorpia gave a happy hum. "You're going to have a lot of good mornings from now on."
Perfuma started to roll, a squeal escaping her. "I'm not dreaming, right?"
"I hope not."
"You… You really left the horde?" Perfuma's voice was a whisper, as if she was afraid speaking too loud would cause the dream to come crashing down.
"Well, 'kicked out' might be a bit more accurate, but I will be helping your rebellion from now on, so long as I get to fight with you."
Perfuma smirked. "Instead of against me?"
"I gotta admit, being seduced by the enemy was kinda hot."
"Weren't you the one doing the seducing?"
"You kissed me first."
Perfuma pouted. "You approached me first."
Scorpia sighed, still staring at Perfuma's gorgeous face. "What'll we do now?"
Perfuma's face became serious. Her voice lowered as well, a tone that made Scorpia's heart quicken. "Well, obviously we'll need to update you on our current battle plans, if you're willing to share it'd be good to get Horde intel from you, and on that note we'll need a plan to extract Entrapta as well…"
"Good ideas, good plans, I support, but those seem like slightly more future plans." Scorpia ran a claw along Perfuma's body. "I was asking what we'll do now."
Realization dawned on Perfuma's face. Her lips drew back into a smile. She pressed closer to Scorpia. "I think a celebration is in order."
"Like a party?" Scorpia bit her lip. Her track record with parties was… less than stellar.
"Private party," Perfuma tugged at Scorpia's clothes. "Guest list: two hot woman. Location: My bed."
"I like the sound of that."
