*Strokes your hair*
IT’S INSTINCT TO RELAX ; a surprisingly natural response to sink back into the gentle, soothing touch, as if the other woman’s fingers are enough to brush away some of the WEIGHT she’s been bearing for so long. It feels like years since someone last touched her without hostility, and it’s nice – she must’ve CRAVED it for the way her guard drops, body shifting to settle into the most comfortable position against her companion as she shovels another handful of cereal into her mouth.
She’ll let herself get FIXATED on the TV screen, still clutching the box she’s helped herself to eating from as if she owns the place – not that she’d dare call a place home. Over the years she’s come to understand that home is people, whether it’s a FAMILY like SHIELD or just one person who makes you feel safe. It’s their job to run head first into danger, to face death and PAIN in order to protect the world, but she still she wouldn’t trade this home for any other.
