Lilith was packing her bag. She was going to university. She had messed up again. After 4 months of sitting out on the sidelines. She had been given a mission to prove herself. She took far more risk than she needed to again.
She had been banished from duty for 4 years. Her girlfriends were helping her pack her stuff. Not that they had much to pack either way. They were packing in silence. She knew they were worried about her. She felt like a failure again.
Bea spoke up first. " this is not a bad thing, Lily," She said while folding her jeans.
" You have always wanted to study and I know you will do incredibly well."
" I am being forced to study, I have no choice in the matter," Lilith responded.
" Yes," Bea conceded " but do you want to study?"
" I do." Bea stopped folding the clothes.
"Sit down here." She said patting the spot between Bea and Ava. Lilith wanted to protest and be a bit grumpy but she knew that she would end up doing what her girlfriends wanted anyway.
She sat down between them. Ava wrapped her hands around her waist. Lilith smiled, She found Ava's touch to be incredibly comforting. She was her 'god-mode Pillow.' as Ava called herself.
" I know this isn't ideal," Bea said. " But I want you to think about what you will be doing in College."
" I will be studying Chemistry." She answered.
" Is it something you will enjoy?" Ava asked
" Yes, I will enjoy it." Lilith Conceded.
"Nerd," Ava whispered
Bea shot Ava an annoyed look, and Ava just winked back.
Bea continued " Please do not let them ruin something that makes you happy. I know you want to study. We know that this is something that you dreamed about. We want you to make the best of your years in university." Bea said
Lilith knew that Bea was right, She had wanted to go to college and become a scientist but she knew it would never happen. She was supposed to be the warrior nun, She could be a scientist. She could study anything she wanted. She got to choose what she wanted to do. They had forced freedom upon her.
"I will miss you both." She whispered
Ava squeezed her gently. " I will visit you as often as I can but I will miss you too Princess, It will be so strange not being able to just phase into your room to talk to you."
Bea nodded while cupping her face between her hands. " It will be hard, love but I promise you it will be worth it."
Lilith felt calm for the first time in a while. She had been blessed with the most amazing partners.
" I will be the bes-, No I will do my best," Lilith said. As her therapist said, Set acceptable goals for yourself.
Ava's hand was starting to have the other effect it usually had on her. Bea being so close to her was not helping at all either.
Ava chuckled. " Princess, We wanted to give you a parting gift." She whispered.
"Anything you want," Bea said her hands slipping down to her collar, faintly touching her.
"Anything?" She asked them.
"Anything," Ava answered pulling her down on the bed.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all
