Wait… If I stop telling you which music I listen to… does it mean that upper AN will disappear?
The two women kept quiet as they made their way through a hostile jungle, Yang keeping her gun armed and ready in case the local fauna happened to be uncooperative, while Blake carefully carried a bunch of samples she had taken deeper in the forest. A few minutes later, they pushed the door of the spaceship, their return capsule securely fastened to the airlock and a much lighter and joyous atmosphere literally floating around as the dangers of the alien jungle were left behind.
Once guns and sample were duly scratched and secured in their respective storage case, the two women turned to each other, smiling.
"I still can't believe you actually got us a place together in this project." Blake said, still not quite used to zero-gravity.
"What can I say? Having your sister date the company's owner sure helps," Yang replied with a smile, before expertly propelling herself toward Blake. "But I would have found a way nonetheless."
"Aww, thank you!"
Blake knew that she was completely smitten for her dragon, and the fact that she was genuinely caring and thoughtful was just a bonus point to melt her heart entirely. It had always been her dream to study alien plants and animals, and now she was living it thanks to her love and friends. The discover of new Dust mix allowing faster transport without side-effects had allowed space exploring to develop and expand at a crazy high speed a few years ago, and all of the little children that dreamed of traveling amongst the star now could fulfill their dreams.
Sure, it was a little bit far from Remnant, and she could go home only one month in five years… But to Blake it was a small price to pay to live in space. Not to mention that she was lucky enough to have a separate ship, a 'MobLab' as they called it, only occupied by her and Yang. No need to lose all privacy amongst dozens of other cosmonauts, it was just them. A scientist and a Marine to ensure her safety. A dream that had come reality, so perfect that Blake had to pinch herself regularly to make sure she was awake. The only negative in all of that was the quite brutal changing in gravity when they shifted from the planet's surface to their vessel… It was always a little disturbing, and it took her a few minutes, sometimes a few hours, to adjust her strength to the new conditions.
Yang always seemed to rock it, as if it was perfectly natural for her… That's probably why she made the most of the distance between them before Blake got out of her thoughts and tried as best as she could to join her partner without violently bumping her. Finally getting close enough for Yang to enlace her, she closed her eyes and placed her head on the blondie's shoulder, feeling tremendously happy. Eyes still half-closed, her lips met Yang's in a delicate expression of love and care while deep inside her mind, she thought that this was what 'being over the moon' truly felt like.
When they finally parted, they both realized that they were now head down, without having noticed anything thanks to the absence of gravity, which made Yang laugh. Blake placed a soft kiss on her nose and Yang reciprocated with one on the forehead before they finally found the strength to end the hug, both of them getting back to their usual tasks. As usual as a task could be in the middle of space.
Late, but I truly didn't forget this time! Seriously, I'm starting to think that if I ever post a chapter in time it'll be a miracle…
Nice and simple today… yeah I know, tell me 'Star' and I'll think about space scientist on an alien planet. You don't see the link? Me neither… But I know better than to question my brain x)
Anyways, thanks for reading and I'll see you tomorrow!
