A/N: My entry for the Fluffvember same prompt fic party
It had rained for hours. A small family was sitting inside their house, playing games in the living room. There was a fire in the fireplace, lighting the room with its warm light.
"I won!" Hotaru declared happily.
"Well now we have officially played every board game we have," Haruka said and lay back on the sofa. Michiru started to put the game back into the box.
"It's still raining so we can't go outside. What should we do next?" she asked.
"I want to hear a story!" Hotaru said and turned to look at Setsuna, who was sitting on the armchair next to the fireplace.
"Yes, Setsuna, tell us a story," Haruka agreed. She lifted her long legs on the sofa and pulled Michiru closer. The sea goddess kissed her nose, picked up the soft blanked that was lying on the back of the sofa and pulled it over herself and her girlfriend. Hotaru climbed on Setsuna's lap, snuggling against her mother.
Setsuna had an amazing skill of telling stories in a way that made them feel real, even when they weren't. Most of her stories probably were true, since she had seen so many things during her long life as Sailor Pluto. Haruka still didn't trust every detail, since Setsuna often changed things and added certain elements to make the story more interesting.
Haruka felt relaxed as she listened to Setsuna's story. The warm fire in the fireplace and Michiru's body next to hers made the situation perfect. The only problem was that she couldn't feel her right arm. The sofa was so narrow that Michiru was half on top of her. Still, Haruka didn't complain. She just closed her eyes and enjoyed the story.
The story seemed to be a bit too relaxing, since both Haruka and Hotaru had fallen asleep. Setsuna was running her fingers through the small girl's hair while telling the tale, even though Michiru had lost interest in the story a while ago. She still enjoyed listening to her friend's calming voice.
Finally Setsuna ended her story and placed a kiss on top of Hotaru's head.
"Do you think I should wake her up?" she asked, but Michiru shook her head.
"Don't. Let them sleep," she said and laid her head against Haruka's chest, listening to the steady heartbeat. Everything about this moment was perfect. She had her family with her and there was a fire, a blanket and her lover's arms keeping her warm. She didn't mind the rain outside. In fact, she wouldn't mind if it rained even longer, as long as she could keep living in this happy moment. There weren't any monsters to fight or enemies to beat. Just a happy family with no worries.
Michiru felt Haruka's arms pulling her closer. The racer was possessive even in her sleep, even though there was no need for that. Michiru would never leave Haruka's side willingly. She wanted to stay right here in this moment. She had everything she needed; her family, her lover, and a fire to keep her warm.
