( Hello , out there! Just a quick inbetween chapter to transition to chapter 3, whenever I get on with that. R&R please~ But this is just a quick drabble I wrote. New chapter coming soon!)
When Steph wakes up a spray of raven colored hair is tickling at her nose. Lifting a hand she
brushes it gently away. Skimming a hand over Cassandra's shoulder, she gently shakes it, trying to wake her. A small moan comes from beneath her and a brown eye opens and looks up at her, blurry with sleep.
Steph can't help but grin as she places a quick peck on the other girl's cheek.
" Morning Cass." She mumbles. Cass dives back down under the covers and curls next to her, groaning something that sounds like 'More sleep. '. Steph rolls out of bed. Stretching her arms over her head, she then grips both corners of the blanket and yanks. In a quick blur of black and tan , Cass streaks past her eyes and pins her down on the ground. Even half asleep she moves like lightning. Above her two black eyes gleam.
" Good morning Stephanie. " she says,as she pins down her blonde partner. A smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she leans in for a morning kiss. Her eyes widen slightly when Stephanie turns to the side, avoiding her lips. Her face flushes red as she mumbles something about morning breath. Cass scoffs, of all the evil things she's seen and dealt with, morning breath is very low on that list. Instead her lips make their way to the exposed portion of Stephanie's neck. They caress their way upwards until they reach her pulse. She stays like that for moments, just feeling the thrum of her heartbeat beneath her closed lips.
Eventually even Steph's patience wears thin, though there was never much of it in the first place. She squirms a bit at first, and then swings over so that Cass is now under her. Again that ghost of a grin skims over her lips, eyes alight with a dark fire.
" What now?" she asks, hand lightly stroking the back of Steph's bare back. Steph breaks out into a wide grin.
"Us. " she mutters. She sinks down and wraps her arms around Cass and She feels the heat radiate off Cassandra's body. They stay like that for a long time, naked and warm and all wrapped in each others arms.
Half an hour later an alarm blares from the other side of Stephanie's room. The whole while the two have just been staring at each other. Once every few minutes murmuring words to one another. They've been together for so long but not... Together together. They both try to wrap their minds around it, but fail, so they hold onto each other even more tightly instead. The alarm goes unneeded, and eventually stops, leaving the two still wrapped up in each other. They both know a long day of work is ahead of them, but for a few more moments they cling to one another, desperate to hold on to those tender new moments.
Steph talks about patrol early this morning and then some tutoring from Oracle. Cass tells about her still recovering shoulder and leg, saying how she has to spend the day at the Batcave, in charge of watching out for smaller daytime crimes. Both girls make promises to talk over the course of the day, and both agree to not tell the others about their new relationship. Cass giggles when Steph somewhat bitterly says that Batman probably already knows. After a comfortable moments silence, they both rise and dress for the day, squirreling away smoke bombs and knives. They kiss before they leave, a rather aching kiss, filled with promises of things yet to come.
