Send a 💋 to kiss my muse!
his eye is fixated upon the doorway as she enters, her dainty figure quickly consumed by the darkness of the room, albeit the washed glow of the flickering television. over her features does a drained yellow light conform to the curves of her body and face, blue uniform exchanged for something more casual. she has her arms crossed as she approaches an outstretched hand, one which rest cloaked by a blanket that hardly covers long legs; and beside him sleeps a far smaller figure, whose head lay propped against his leg, solemn face undisturbed by the flickering light. the volume muted. fareeha is sound asleep, having been watching the television with him until she dozed off midway through an old animation he enjoyed in his younger days.
as ana surveys the two of them, reinhardt’s outstretched hand is met with hers. his tired eyes shut as her knuckles, fingers overtaken by a thumb far larger than hers, are risen to cracked lips that press a soft kiss against them. a welcome home. a half lidded eye that opens and smiles on its own, that promises her the day was good. she muses her gratitude as she bows softly to his side, returning a kiss over the discolored, scarred flesh of an eye which no longer sees, but closes upon the feathery contact.
the duo cast their eyes unto the sleeping child, a hand gliding over his shoulder, trailing up to the nape of his neck. in a worldless exchange of glances does he begin to rise, carefully slipping a hand beneath fareeha’s head. he eases himself off the couch, rounding carefully in order to lift her sleeping form into his arms. ana nears them, to take her precious daughter’s face and bid her a good night with a kiss to her forehead. fareeha continues to rest, only shuffling slightly to find greater comfort in the crusader, whose formerly blanketed form is radiant with warmth.
her hand traces down reinhardt’s arm as their gazes meet, softly musing an offering: that he stay the night. he had, a small handful of times before; missions oftentimes stretched late into the night, and reinhardt would merely find himself hours later being awoken by her as she returned through the door. with a curt nod did he accept, turning to go and tuck fareeha away, as carefully as he could, so as not to wake her.
