Are you taking prompts? I have this HC that Kamilah has some lingering anxiety bc of what happened to her artist lover, so she holds onto MC much tighter than she means to when she’s asleep, and that MC knows this and is content to be clung to. Could you write something for this?
It had been years since she lost her, and still every night it came back. Some nights she woke up in a cold sweat, gasping for breath, shouting. Those nights scared Amy, but she pulled her into her arms and stroked her back while she muttered about the old flame.
Kamilah had told her the tale, the way her lover perished and there was nothing she could do about it. She also told her that she was the last person she cared for, really cared for, before her.
“I love you, Amy,” she’d said. “This isn’t about my love for you, or lack thereof. It’s about my fear for you, my fear that everything I love will meet the same damned end.”
“I know,” Amy whispered to her, holding her. “It’s okay.”
And maybe she would feel jealous, insecure. Maybe, if it weren’t for the other nights. The nights that she didn’t wake up in terror, but pulled Amy close to her, called her name in her sleep.
The nights she held Amy as if her life depended on it, and Amy felt safe, secure, loved. She knew it was selfish, the way she benefited from Kamilah’s fear. But she couldn’t help but love the way she held her.
Amy’s family hadn’t been terribly intimate, and truly she hadn’t considered herself a very intimate person, before Kamilah. But when she held her, she received something she’d been missing, something she hadn’t even realized she was missing. Kamilah’s arms were her favorite place to be, her heart beating in her ear, her scent enveloping her.
She hadn’t even realized she started crying, when Kamilah roused from sleep. “Baby, what’s wrong?” she said, still bleary-eyed as she reached her hand up and caressed Amy’s cheek.
“Nothing,” Amy said, shaking her head. She touched her hand to Kamilah’s, squeezing it gently.
“You’re crying,” Kamilah objected.
Amy smiled, squeezing her hand again. “Happy tears, my love,” she said, heaving a deep sigh. “I just feel so safe with you.”
Kamilah pulled her into her lap, kissing her cheek.
“You’re always safe with me, darling,” she promised, holding her protectively.
“I know,” Amy replied, cuddling into her neck. “I know.”
