"Almost." A yawn caught me by surprise. "You?"
"Getting there." She stretched like a cat, her socked foot brushing mine under the covers.
We shifted on the bed, finding that spot where comfort wraps around you, ready to pull you into dreams. My arm was her pillow, her curls tickling my skin. It was new, this feeling of being part of a pair. A good kind of new.
"Today was..." I searched for the right word. "...big."
She chuckled, the sound vibrating through me. "Yeah, big."
"Are we okay?" The question slipped out before I could stop it. "It was our first fight."
"Better than okay." She squeezed my hand, entwined with hers.
"Good." Relief washed over me.
"Hey, one more thing," She propped herself up on an elbow, looking down at me.
"Yeah?"
"Let's just keep doing this. Being us."
"Deal." I smiled, and she settled back down, her body molding to mine.
Her breathing slowed, and I felt the shift as sleep took her. I let myself relax, following her lead. Agatha's presence was a promise, one that said tomorrow would come with its own set of challenges, but we'd face them as a team.
"Night, Angel." The words were barely audible, even to me.
"Night, Adonis." Her reply was a gentle murmur against my chest.
Sleep tugged at my eyelids, heavy and inevitable. I gave in, letting the day's emotions drift away. There was hope. Hope for us, for what we could be. And with that thought warming me from the inside, I let go, falling into sleep with Agatha in my arms.
