In Motion
By SMYGO4EVA
It wasn't every day they got to relax, and if she was honest, Naomi needed it.
She sat on the couch, her arms at her sides, closed her eyes, and she exhaled out a long sigh. It was one she didn't know she needed to let out.
It was all so overwhelming.
She knew that she and Rouge had been through a lot, and just saying it was putting it mildly.
It was all about the mission, to stay in motion, and nothing else; or at least, that was what she thought, anyway.
Many revelations and secrets had threatened to tear them asunder, but they managed to press on, to find each other once again, and to live side by side.
Before she could open her eyes, Naomi felt Rouge's presence, as she sat down next to her on the couch.
Naomi opened her eyes, turned her head, and saw Rouge looking at her, in the curious, fascinated, and loving gaze she knew too well.
Everything else, the fallout, the changes, they all could wait.
Naomi could be still for a little bit, with Rouge by her side.
Rouge smiled, and with that, Naomi couldn't help but do the same.
