Summary: Ray has bad dream and couldn't sleep and only one person who can make her forget her dream. Her wife. Nami and Ray's night talk.

AN: I decided to make one shot collection from SC universe. Anyway, got the idea from Christina Perri's 'Arms'. I don't own these Ladies. All mistakes were mine. Hope you enjoy this one ;)


Your Arms (You Are My Home)

She stretched her arm out over the sheet and pillow then back to the sheet, but found nothing. She opened her eyes slightly and knitted her brows as she found herself sleping alone. 'Where's she?'

She sat up and looked around their bedroom. She wasn't in the room. She pushed the blanket away and got off of the bed. She went to living room and kitchen but she didn't find her. She went to work chamber but she wasn't there either. She must be in that place. She covered her mouth with fist as she let out a yawn and walked toward the back terrace. She pushed door open and her eyes immediately caught the sitting figure on wooden swing chair. Her wife was sitting there. She smiled a little and walked toward her beloved wife.

She approached the woman but it seemed she was lost in her thought that she didn't notice her presence. "Penny for your thoughts."

Ray tilted her head aside and saw her wife smiling at her. "Hey, did I wake you?"

Nami shook her head slightly and stepped forward. She sat down at the end of the chair facing her wife and Ray leaned her body against her. This was their sitting arrangement. She put her arms around her wife and kissed her forehead.

"It's chilly here."

"Here," Ray took off the blanket and covered their bodies.

"Much better." She put her chin on her head. "You had bad dream again?" She felt Ray nuzzled against her neck and nodded slightly. The older woman sometimes had bad dream about her childhood. It wasn't often so they decided to just let it, it would go eventually.

She then thought something that would make her wife forget the dream. "When I was child I used to go with my brother to a river near our house after school. Since I can't swim so I would just playing with another boys at riverside. We would catch dragonfly or looked for beetle."

Ray was hearing the story attentively. Nami would always tell her a story about her childhood or about her family, or they would just talk when she had bad dream. Although she hated those dream but she secretly liked their little time.

"One day one of my friend, he's very naughty boy, said that we have competition. There's a big tree near the river and he said everyone has to climb the tree and then jump into the water."

"Don't tell me you climb that tree?"

"Patient woman." She let out a giggle as Ray pinched her arm playfully. "So, we agreed to do the competition. My brother of course stopped me."

"But you're too stubborn to stop."

"Hey, it wasn't my fault. I had to, if I didn't the boys won't play with me."

"Then play with girl."

"You wanna hear the story or not?"

Ray giggled and replied. "Okay, sorry. And?"

"Where were we? Oh, yeah, so I climbed the tree but slipped my foot and fell down. A sharp stone cut my arm. My friend and the other boys were crying seeing the blood but I just raised my brows and laughed at them." She chuckled as Ray laughed at her.

"My brother took me home but we feared to enter the house. My mother found us in front of the gate an hour later. She was angry and took me to the nearest hospital. Fortunately the cut wasn't deep but I had fracture leg. After we got home my mother punished my brother instead of me. He said it was his fault that I climb the tree. I still owed him a big favor for that."

"Seemed your stubbornness and stupidity didn't change." She giggled as Nami tickled her side. "Nami!"

"That's for tease me." She smiled as the other woman laughed. She had succeeded to make her forget the dream.

"You have a nice family." Ray said after moments. She envied a little.

Nami tightened her hug. "They are your family too."

"Yeah," She smiled upon hearing that she had Nami's family like her own. Her smile faded as a thought crossed her mind. They hadn't talk about it yet. About their own family. Well they were married like normal couple, except there was no tiny feet in their house yet. She couldn't help but imagining what would be their children looks like.

Nami sensed that the other woman was once again deep in her thought. "What are you thinking in that beautiful skull of yours?"

"I…" There was pregnant pause before she continued. "I wonder what it's like to have children in our house."

Nami inhaled softly. They never talked about it. They were legally married and with the modern medical technology it wasn't impossible to have children although they both were woman. However, she didn't want it to become an issue, because with or without children it wouldn't change their love toward each other.

"Sure thing is if we have children I want they look like you and me."

She giggled as she heard the words. "You and me?" She felt Nami's nod.

"I want a girl looks like you. A miniature of you." Nami let out a laugh at the thought. "She will be a bright, beautiful, and…garrulous girl."

"I'm not garrulous." She pouted. "Well, then I want a boy looks like you. Brave but stubborn. Then you can see yourself."

They laughed at their imagination. But who knew maybe they could have those children in their own.

"But I don't want to be the one who carry them." Nami said after a while.

"Why?" Ray knitted her brows.

"You know, it hurts. Besides there's craving thing." Nami wrinkled her nose as she thought about it.

"Now you mention it, I want to see you craving."

"Oh God no, why did I put the thought in you."

Ray laughed at the groanning woman. "But if I carry them I'll get fat. I don't want to be fat. You won't look at me again."

"Don't worry I'll still look at you." She looked down as Ray looked up at her.

"Really?"

"Yes. But I will wear sunglasses and make my eyes like this." She drew her eyes to her nose.

"You," Ray pulled off from the hug and pinched her wife.

"Aww! I'm kidding. Just kidding!" She pushed Ray's hands but the woman didn't stop. "I'm sorry. That's a joke. Ray!"

They almost fell off the swing chair. Fortunately she had her right foot touch the ground so she could prevent them to have their butts on ground. Ray just laughed at her. She grabbed the other woman and pulled her back against her joining her laugh.

"No matter how much you change you will still have my eyes for you."

She leaned her head against Nami's and smiled. "Have I told you today that I love you?"

Nami pretended squinting and then shook her head. "No, I haven't heard it today."

"Such a liar. Well, I won't say it." She chuckled as Nami gave her pouting face. "I changed my mind, I will but…if you carry me inside."

"You woman," She raised her eyebrow at the schematic woman in her arms. "…you just want me to carry you right?"

Ray smirked slyly and gave a peck on her lips. "Of course."

She snorted but stood up nonetheless. She put her left arm on her back and her right behind her knee and lifted her wife. She chuckled seeing Ray grinning at her.

"You're heavy. What did you eat? A cow?"

"Nami!"

"Don't pinch me or we'll fall."

❤NR❤

She grabbed her wife's hand and pulled her against her back. They were spooning with Nami as the big spoon. Nami's left arm was below her neck hugging her shoulder, while her right was over her belly. Nami's breath tickled her cheek as the other woman leaned her head on her. She liked it when Nami held her like now. She felt safe with the other woman's arms around her. It felt like she was in home.

"Try to sleep." Nami whispered softly.

Ray closed her eyes trying to sleep. After a moment she asked the other woman. "You won't leave me?"

Her heart fluttered hearing the small voice. A voice only she could hear it. She tightened her hold and kissed her cheek before replied. "I won't leave you."

"Promise?"

"I promise I won't leave you. Ever." She grabbed Ray's hand and held it.

She felt her chest warmed and she pulled the corner of her lips up. "You didn't want to go back to your hometown?"

"No."

"Why?"

"This is my home. You are my home."

She smiled as her heart fluttered and butterflies rose in her stomach. Only her wife could make this to her. "You are very romantic."

"You're not the one who says it to me. There're many girls said that." She mumbled and tried to hold her grin. "Aww!" Ray pinched her arm.

"Go away."

"Geez, I'm just kidding. Plus I promised won't let you go." She smiled as Ray giggled. "Try to sleep. Don't think anything else."

She closed her eyes again and waited for the sleep to take her. However, she opened her eyes as she felt something on her stomach. "Nami what are you doing?"

"Hmm,"

"Your hand," She inhaled as fingers trailed over her skin and slowly moved up to her breast. Without she realizing it Nami had unbuttoned her PJs shirt.

"I don't know. It's moving in its own." She moved her head slightly and kissed her neck.

She let out a giggle and turned around to look at her wife. She stared at her brown eyes and caressed her dimple. "You won't let me sleep, do you?"

Nami winked and replied. "Nope, I changed my mind."

Ray giggled as the other woman leaned her forehead against her.

Nami stared at the deep brown eyes, those eyes that caught her heart. She then closed the gap and captured her lips with her. "Have I told you today that I love you?" She said between their kiss.

She smiled on Nami's lips and replied without breaking the contact. "No."

"I'll tell you then." She changed her position so she was on the top. She put her hand on Ray's waist while the other was balancing her body.

Ray encircled her arms around her wife's neck and pulled her body down. She would never get tired to feel her kiss, her touch, her caress, her love. With the other woman she felt love. She felt at home.

"You think you can manage off for tomorrow?"

"I'm the owner, remember?"

"Good. Because I don't think we'll finish at morning."
