[ic] the waking-up time

[sighoftheorz]

[two girls are fast asleep; one laid out in bed, the other kneeling beside the bed with her head against the other girl's stomach. Even in sleep, their fingers are laced tightly together]

*stirring, her eyelashes fluttering, and then jerking awake with a sudden start*

Himemiya - !

[sighoftheorz]

Mm..?

[lifts her head slowly, blinking sleep from her eyes]

Utena...?

[kissfromanorz]

*relaxing almost at once when she hears that particular voice*

Oh - I'm sorry...you were asleep.

[sighoftheorz]

You're awake! Oh, I'm so glad, Utena-- Utena-sama...

[kissfromanorz]

I had the weirdest dream...

*bringing Anthy's hand up, hesitantly, to cradle it against her chest*

[sighoftheorz]

[doesn't resist, unfurling her hand against your breast]

What did you dream about?

[kissfromanorz]

A million swords...

[sighoftheorz]

[...fingers twitch]

You did?

[kissfromanorz]

*watching her, almost puzzled, searching for something in her face*

[sighoftheorz]

[slowly curls her hand around yours]

What else did you dream?

[kissfromanorz]

That I found you...

*bringing her other hand up to cover their joined hands*

[sighoftheorz]

[smiles a slow, perfectly happy smile]

I dreamed that, too.

[kissfromanorz]

Really?

[sighoftheorz]

Yes... the arena was crumbling, but we were together...

[kissfromanorz]

You promised, when I woke up...

[sighoftheorz]

[holds your hand tightly]

Here I am... Utena.
