And further left to go - Haruka/Michiru - Animegiving_groundJuly 20 2012, 18:37:44 UTC
(Posting to AO3 tumblr because I didn't get in under the character limit. & AO3 doesn't love me today. ~1000 words.)
They stop for a while beside a winding road leading up into the mountains beyond the edge of the city, and look out across it in silence together, the glowing network of lights that they've decided isn't for them right now. In the inch of space between them is the unspoken relief that it's over, and the uneasy question of how long that will last.
Haruka takes a deep breath of the clean, cool air, and is amazed at how easy it is to breathe, how light she feels. The worry that's felt like it's trying to crush her for months now has finally let go.
Michiru puts a light hand on her arm, fingers curling against her shirt, and Haruka shakes off her surprise, turns, smiles.
"Shall we go?" Michiru asks.
"Yeah," Haruka says. "Yeah, let's."
They haven't made any kind of a plan, and neither of them mentions that. The pull of away was so strong. Maybe even for Michiru too. Where to seemed less important
