It was a small gesture. Resting her head on Holly's shoulders. It was small, but noticeable.
"Hmm?"
At this Gail turned her head to look at the sleepy brunette next to her. "Are you asleep?"
"How could I be? Every time I close my eyes, you touch me." She lazily opened her eyes, looking at the childlike blonde next her out the corner of her eyes, her mouth curling up in a smirk. "Had I known you would be like this on a plane, I would've suggested we sit on opposite sides of the aisle," she said as she tilted her head to rest on Gail's.
"I tried to warn you. I'm not a good flier." And she was right, but to her new wife it was simply adorable. Another Gail quirk to add to the list. Gail slid her head out from under Holly's as she reached for her ipod to see what she was listening to. "Really, Hols? I thought we talked about this."
The patient brunette let out a sigh, they had talked about this. Many times, it was one of their things. "Did we now? And what did we decide last time?" She slid her headphones down to hang around her neck, and sat up to face the amused blonde and those twinkling blue eyes, resigning herself to no sleep for the remainder of the flight.
"We decided that you would only listen to good music. And that you would take this off of here." to emphasize her point Gail waved the music player around before holding it in plain view to show the doctor that she was skipping that song, actually the entire album.
"Is that right?" Holly leaned in close to Gail's ear and said in a barely audible voice, "You didn't seem to mind it the other night," smiling to herself at the brief hitch in Gail's breath. Her voice deepened slightly and, just before pulling back finished with, "And I suspect you still won't tomorrow." Those blue eyes darkened as she heard Holly's laughter fill her ears while she brought the headphones back to her ears and she leaned back closing her eyes, knowing full well that this silly, guarded, complex person would do something else to wake her up.
Not ten seconds later, she was poked in the side. Only two more hours left, but it was all worth it to celebrate the start of their new life together.
