[ bed ] โ our muses share a bed
You can always tell the key to someoneโs heart and soul through their bedroom. A place where they can be themselves, a respite from the world, or even from others in the house. It was supposed to be your sanctuary, your nest.ย
Robin felt as if she were intruding upon Indiaโs space here, even if part of her was overjoyed at being able to do normalย โgirlโ things with her friend. A sleepover. Gods, had she really never had one before?
Well, that wasnโt necessarily true. Her brother got his own room when he turned 8. She was painfully lonely, 7 years old, trying to be a big girl and deal with it without running to her parentsโ room or sneaking into Harukiโs.
Her big brother had grabbed all her blankets and pillows he could carry and insisted they make a fort in his new room. They had fallen asleep there together. Her first sleepover, her uncountable reminder of the love of her sibling.
All that was gone now. She turned over, staring at the woman she called a friend, just listening to Indiaโs soft breathing. Robin is quiet. Still as a mouse.ย
Carefully, she inches closer, and buries her head against the otherโs chest. A shuddering breath. The warmth calms her, and unshed tears dwindle away.
