Annie wasn’t one to enjoy snooping in other people’s things, but she was eager to help Madeleine unpack. Waffles was barking and running about between the boxes, chasing the cat. He didn’t mean to scare him, and flopped down on his back whenever he had caught up with the kitty. Andromeda stood there, hands on her hips, taking a look around and wondering where to start. Moving was something she didn’t like, mostly because of all that chaos, but together they would get rid of that quickly, she hoped. She turned toward Maddie with a gentle smile, sitting down next to her. “It’s our space now. I’m a hoarder, really. I don’t need most of those things, but I never saw any reason to throw it out, either.” She kissed her cheek, taking Madeleine’s hand in hers, as she rested her head against her shoulder.

There’s a degree of apprehension from Madeleine, unable to simply allow Nora to kiss her as she should have. She had been receptive up until this exact moment, and now she wanted to run for the hills. Luckily, she could not. Even as she attempted to wiggle from the elder woman’s arms, lips were lowered and caught in a gesture that surprised her into pausing. 

Their surroundings were quiet and close to private, yet the brunette felt no confidence with her present company. Hands weren’t held, not that she could have possibly mustered up the courage to ask Nora if it would be alright to do so. A taunt left her companion’s lips and the only logical response was to quiet her as soon as possible. Madeleine rose on the balls of her feet and silenced her tormentor with a passionately stubborn kiss.

Madeleine could feel Nora start to shift beside her     she was going to run. Neither of them were skilled with bridging the gap between action and emotion. There was some surprise, however, that it wasn’t her trying to escape. The scientist shifted over, reaching for her elder companion as she clutched a sheet around herself. Dark hair cascaded down her shoulder onto Nora, who was not given another moment to move before she was kissed and laid upon.  

She forbid tears from slipping down her cheeks, that was unprofessional. Relations ended often, and it was beyond her to mourn the loss of someone who would have rather been elsewhere. This time, Madeleine could not soothe Nora to stay. She wouldn’t try. The accompanying goodbye was an uncomfortable kiss and one that made her throat tighten enough to expel all of the tears resting precariously behind closed eyes.

       “If you need to know, it hasn’t been the same ever since.” Well, how many people could say that their girlfriends broke their noses during…bedroom activities? It had definitely not helped with her already sensitive nose, and even months later she could swear it still hurt. That probably was not the case, and she often just mentioned it to tease Madeleine. She was instantly sorry when she felt bad about it, though.
