Day 12
Prompt: Hug from behind
*********************************************************************
She's swaying along to the music, mouthing the lyrics when she feels arms snake around her waist and a body push against her back. A smile instantly pulls at her lips as she looks back and see's fading blue hair out of the corner of her eyes. She places her hands over Chloe's, noting that her girlfriend is swaying with her as the both watch the band on stage.
They're at a concert, some band they both like and wanted to go see. It's a slow song, there's something simple and plain yet truly magical about the singer's vocals. Everything is chill and Max feels completely at peace just listening to his calming voice. Chloe's arms tighten around her as she sings softly.
Max is pretty sure she can only hear her because Chloe is pretty much singing right into her ear. Chloe isn't the best singer but neither is Max, but that never stops them. Chloe often starts dramatic duets when they're at home, normally Max just rolls her eyes but sometimes she'll join in.
They're not kids anymore, they've spread their wings and flown from the nest. They live in Seattle, the city having lots of opportunities for them both. They still see Joyce and David, but most their visiting is done too Max's parents. Who still in fact act like not a day has passed since both the girls were twelve and running around playing pirates.
They have their own apartment which is always messy but they like it that way. Max still takes her pictures and Chloe is still trying to convince her to get matching tattoos. They live an average life working and loving each other. Concerts are special and tonight is one of the most special moments to Max.
It shouldn't be special because really all they're doing is watching some guy sing on stage. But she feels a connection to the music, her heart thumps along to the beat and the happiness she feels in phenomenal. In that moment she feels she needs to turn to Chloe and tell her that this is it. They've found happiness, they've found what they've been looking for for years and that happiness was simply found in each other.
Although she hasn't spoken a word, hasn't even turned around to look Chloe in the eye, the taller girl seems to know. She seems to know and understand perfectly what's just gone through Max's mind. She presses a kiss to Max's shoulder, and that seems to speak a thousand words for them both.
It's a normal Friday night, they're at a concert swaying along to music as Chloe has her arms around Max. They're safe and they're happier that they've ever been.
