Teana raced down the highway. The cold, fall air made the mist cling to her body, making her numb all over- which is how she wanted to be on the inside. Things with Subaru had become frustrating. She had never really had feeling for Subaru but now that they are living together and sharing the same bed, things were becoming way more frustrating than little Teana could handle.
Riding her motorcycle was her best way to get some space and get here mind off of things. She was freezing now, to the point of having trouble driving. Her hands were so cold she could no longer feel the controls, so she got off at the next exit and headed back home. With help from Subaru's father the two of them got a great little flat; it had a large common room with a huge window wall that gave a great view of the sky and the city below.
As Teana walked in, she stripped off her cold wet cloths and left them where they fell, something Subaru hates. She walked into the bedroom. She stood there, naked, at the bathroom door just to the right of the bed, staring down at Subaru; something she would never do if she was awake. She tightened her grip on the doorframe, longing for the warmth of Subaru's body against her own. The soft touch of her skin on her's. The sweet taste of her lips. It pained her so make she started to cry. Hot drops of water ran down onto her icy face.
She grated her teeth and walked on into the bathroom. She got into the shower and took out her frustration by striking the wall. She hit it much harder then she planned and the tile broke, cutting her hand.
"How pathetic am I?" she laughed, trying to make herself feel better. She winced at the pain from her hand as a small stream of blood dripped from it. She looked down at it as it slowly dripped. She just lets the hot water fall on her tired body.
Teana walked out of the bathroom, drying her hair. Right there in front of her was Subaru, sitting on the bed, getting dressed in her uniform. She had turned her head to look right at Teana as she came out of the bathroom. Teane felt way too exposed with nothing covering her but a small towel. She panicked, trying to cover herself.
" Subaru I... I... didn't know you were awake and..." Teana's heart was beating fast, standing there like a deer in the headlights.
Subaru couldn't help but smile; she always loved this side of Tia. Outside, she was so cool, calm and brave. When they were alone in there little flat her shy side would come out. She liked seeing Tia let her hair down and be more free. To the rest of the world Tia was this hard-as-nails, magic gun-slinger. Subaru really liked this softer side of her.
Subaru wanted to tease her, but she knew something big was on Tia's mind, so she did not push it. After all, Tia looked really good in nothing but a small towel, still half wet from the shower. Her sexy, slender form and milky, white skin; her long beautiful legs, uncovered all the way to her upper thigh. The top of her breast just showing over the top of the small pink towel.
Subaru finally looked away, her face as red as Teana's.
"Um, I was asleep... ummm- Yeah, I got a stand-by call."
Subaru's heart was pounding. She partly hopes Teana would see her flush face; see her griping the bed tighter, wanting her. Subaru wished she could make the first move but she knew she was too timid for that. With a body like Subaru's, how could anyone like that lover her?
She turned her head to look back at Teana, who was all ready dressed. Teana was putting her hair up, tying her long, red hair into two playful ponytails. That's when the cut on her hand caught Subaru's eyes; it looked bad and was still bleeding a little.
"Tia, you need to take better care of yourself, okay?" Subaru's hands were shaking a little as she reached out and took Teana's. Subaru slowly moved her over to the bed and Teana sat down.
"It's fine, okay? It's just a scratch. Stop over reacting." Subaru took a bandage out of the nightstand drawer. She wrapped it slowly around Teana's soft hand.
"I'm sorry I'm overreacting. I know you can handle yourself."
"Stop apologizing all ready."
"Hurry up Subaru, you're late," said Teana, walking out into the flat livingroom. A light snow was falling down, flickering in the early morning light. The sun was just a tiny line of light on the Harrison. The park below was covered in frost. It was breathtaking, she wished Subaru had time to enjoy it with her, but they were in different units now and almost never spend time together.
Tia walked over to the closet and got out Subaru's jacket. "It smells like her," Tia smiles.
"Tia smelling someone's jacket is kind of crappy," giggles Subaru, who snuck up behind her. She put her hand on Teana's shoulder when she said it, making her jump.
"Oh! Um, here." She shoves the jacket at Subaru. " It's snowing, you'll need this."
"Thanks Tia," said Subaru taking the jacket and putting it on. "Are you going to need the bike?" Asked Tia, looking around for her keys.
"No, that's okay."
"Long Ark, this is Subaru; ready for transfer."
"STAND BY"
With that, a portal was opened and Subaru was gone. Lonely Teana crawled into bed on Subaru's side. It was still warm she could feel Subaru all around her. She lay there feeling as if Subaru was all around her. She soon fell asleep .
She soon awoke- a window had opened and was blaring a call alarm. She rolled over to look at her alarm clock; it was about six am. She tapped the window and opened it. Fate was staring at her from the window.
"Finally! I have been trying to get a hold of you forever!"
"Look, there's a crisis and the whole TSAB is on alert- everyone has been called in."
"The whole world is in danger?" Tia heard a blast and the window want blank. A few minutes later, the window blinked back open and panicked Tia was again face to face with Fate.
"What's going on, is everyone okay?!"
"There isn't more time to talk Tia, Long Ark has set up a emergency transfer." The window shut and Tia found herself sitting on the roof a building downtown, the whole town burning. There was a huge ship raining fire down on the city. It was so big it looked like a large moon or small planet; the navy ships were like ants. The air forces had there hands full and so did the ground forces. There were ever more gadgets than Teana hand time to count. This was by far the worst thing that could have happened. She just prayed that Subaru and the others were alright.
