For Another Day
By SMYGO4EVA
After what had been a long and tiring day, the bed was always a welcome sight.
This time was no different, as Amaterasu dressed into her nightgown and then slipped under the covers.
The silk sheets were a comfort on her skin, and she lifted her head, and saw Souma, her warrior, in her own night slip, at the side of her bed.
Souma was speechless, her face tinted pink, almost as if she was afraid to make one false step.
She looked, and she saw a sparkle from the Empress's eyes, coy and soft; she needn't say anymore.
Souma smiled as she then gingerly slipped under the soft covers, joining Amaterasu.
Amaterasu's arms wrapped around Souma, with the warrior returning such a tender embrace.
They both shut their eyes, sleep soon calming them, and they would be ready for another day.
