Tilly woke up a few hours later, blinking in the darkness of the room.

"Hey, Tilly." Rogers' said softly, letting her sit herself up and adjust to being awake.

"Detective." Tilly murmured, rubbing her eyes. "Was I asleep long?"

"A couple of hours. But you needed it. I heard you up on the phone all night."

Tilly flushed and dropped her head. "Sorry, I couldn't sleep."

"No need to apologise, I get it. That's why you needed the nap." he smiled. "Feel like helping me make dinner?"

Tilly grinned and hopped up from the sofa, stretching and nodding.

"What're we making?" she wandered into the kitchen.

"Something simple but good. Spaghetti sound good to you?"

"Yeah that sounds great!" she hummed and headed to the fridge to grab the pasta sauce.

"Do you want it to be just us or do you want to call Margot and invite her over?"

Tilly grinned. "Really? she can come for dinner?"

"Of course. This is your home now too."

The blonde rushed over and hugged him around the waist. "Thank you."

"Nothing to thank me for, starfish. She makes you happy."

Tilly hummed and stepped back. "Starfish?"

Rogers' raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "It just...slipped out. Don't know where it came from."

"I like it." Tilly shrugged, smiling and walking to the stove to pour the sauce into the pot.

Rogers' nodded, confusion clear on his face. He had no idea where the nickname had come from but it suited Tilly very much.

He walked over behind her and hummed. "Smells good. You want me to add the spices whilst you call Margot?"

Tilly grinned and kissed his cheek, humming as she headed back to the living room to grab her phone.

Rogers' was glad to see that the episode seemed to be over for the time being. She seemed a lot better.

"Margot will be here in twenty." Tilly beamed, stepping over to dip a spoon in the pot and taste the sauce. "Mmm. 'S good."

"Can you get the spaghetti? We can just leave it to cook until Margot gets here."

Tilly happily started the spaghetti boiling and turned to the fridge to grab a drink.

"So about earlier..." She started, pouring them both a cup of juice.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry it happened. I didn't even realise it was coming until it was too late." The blonde sighed.

"Till, it's okay. It happens, and sometimes you can't control it. There's no need to be sorry about it." Rogers' reassured her.

Tilly shrugged and looked down at her juice. "It's just...I know it's not fun to see or deal with."

"It's not fun, but it's something I do because I want to. You're important to me, Starfish."

Tilly flushed and smiled, nodding her head. "Okay."

"Okay. Go set the table?"

Tilly smiled and skipped off to put plates and stuff out on the table.

Twenty minutes later and the smell of dinner filled the apartment, when there was a knock at the door.

Tilly ran to the door and flung it open, grinning at the girl there.

"Hey."

"Hey yourself, beautiful." Margot hummed, bringing her hands from behind her back.

"What's all this?" Tilly asked, eyes shining.

"Presents for my best girl." Margot grinned, handing her the items.

Flowers, lilies because Tilly thought roses were overrated, a box of what seemed to be really expensive chocolates, and something in a brown paper bag.

Tilly cautiously peeked inside, her smile widening. "Who's this little guy?" she pulled a bear out of the bag, brown and super soft.

"It's a bear, silly. If you look at the paws and ears, there are different fabrics and textures. I know you like your tactile stuff so I thought with this bear, there's lots of different stuff to touch." Margot explained, almost shyly.

Tilly wrapped her arms around Margot and kissed her gently. "You are amazing." she whispered, her eyes wet.

"You are." Margot shook her head, smiling at her girlfriend.

"You have no idea how much this means to me." Tilly took her hand and led her into the apartment.

"Are you okay, love? You seem a bit off."

It was amazing that Margot could tell something was wrong without Tilly even mentioning it. Maybe it wouldn't ruin anything if she told her.

"I...was a bit not good earlier." She set the presents down on the sofa.

"Yeah?" Margot squeezed her hand. "You can talk to me, Till."

The blonde sighed and looked down at her feet. "I was...hearing stuff. Voices. It happens sometimes."

"Oh Tilly." Margot took her other hand and squeezed both her hands.

"That must be so hard." The girl pressed a kiss to the back of her hand.

"It is. Sometimes." Tilly shrugged. "The meds help and the detective is really good at bringing me back."

"You're not alone in this, Till. You've got Rogers' and me here to help." Margot vowed to do tons of research and learn how she could help her.

"I know." Tilly grinned. "I was worried to tell you, but I know now it was a mistake. You won't...run away if things get upside down."

"Never, Tilly." Margot was completely sincere. "You're my girlfriend and I'll always be here for you."

In the kitchen, Rogers' smiled. It was so nice to see that Tilly had found someone so kind and thoughtful.

Tilly always struggled to make friends, but those two had just clicked.

"Hello Margot." Rogers' smiled, setting down plates of spaghetti.

"Hey, thanks for inviting me to dinner."

"Of course."

They all sat down to eat, chatting easily whilst Margot held Tilly's hand and tried not to make love eyes at her too often.

After dinner, Rogers' offered to wash up and head into his office for a bit so the two girls could spend some time together.

Sitting under a blanket, watching something goofy on the TV, Tilly leaned into Margot.

The bear sat on her lap as she rubbed her fingers over the different materials.

"Thank you for telling me, Till."

"Thank you for accepting me." the blonde said softly, leaning into the hand stroking her hair.

"I will always accept you. No matter what, and for forever." Margot said softly, kissing Tilly's cheek.

"Forever sounds pretty good." Tilly hummed, closing her eyes for a moment.

Forever sounded more than pretty good.

It sounded perfect.
