[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 - !

[kissfromanorz]

*leaning forward to wrap both arms tightly around you and pull you close, almost fiercely*

[sighoftheorz]

[doesn't resist at all; returns the embrace, hugging you tightly]

I knew I would find you...

[kissfromanorz]

I'm sorry I forgot...

[sighoftheorz]

[shakes her head]

That doesn't matter now.

*tugging until Anthy's sitting up on the bed next to her, and resting her head against Anthy's shoulder, still holding tight*

[sighoftheorz]

[strokes your hair with gentle fingers, drawing her legs up onto the bed]

[kissfromanorz]

It still feels a bit like a dream.

[sighoftheorz]

I don't think it is. I think you're more real than anything else in my life.

[kissfromanorz]

*winding her fingers through Anthy's*

You were still here when I woke up...

[sighoftheorz]

I'm right here... Utena.

[kissfromanorz]

*lying back with a gentle sigh, bringing Anthy with her*

[sighoftheorz]

[presses close to you, relaxed and warm]

[kissfromanorz]

Mmmmm...Himemiya?

[sighoftheorz]

Yes, Utena?

[kissfromanorz]

How'd I get here...?
