A/N: little mini drabble. I blacked out and woke up with most of this.
Ophelia didn't hear Kate get home until she felt her arm slide around her middle and tug her back against the familiar weight of her chest. Kate sighed, exhausted, into her hair and ophelia shifted ever so slightly.
"Hey princess, sorry, did I wake you up?" Kate asked. Ophelia shook her head and pressed closer against her. They lay several moments in silence.
"What time is it?" Asked Ophelia.
Kate made a non commital grunt, "three?"
"Did you beat the bad guys?"
Kate giggled a little at that. "Oh yeah. I'll tell you all about it when it feels less like I lost." She was exhausted, her voice was hoarse, and it felt like she'd been hit by a truck. She might as well have been. She'd never been more relieved to be in bed.
Ophelia shifted a little, then turned to face Kate, tucking her face under Kate's chin.
"You okay?" Kate asked, almost on instinct.
Ophelia shook her head, pressing her face into the soft column of Kate’s neck, breathing in her freshly showered scent. "Okay," Kate pulled Ophelia's leg up to rest on her hip, wincing having forgotten the massive bruise she'd sustained, then relaxing again. Used to the weight.
Ophelia made an inquisitive sound, too near sleep to talk.
"It's fine," Kate smiled, and hugged her tight, one arm around her waist the other tucking her in, keeping her curly head close. "It's okay," Kate sighed, already starting to lose consciousness, "I'm not going anywhere."
Thank you for the reblog! (and the kind words!!) Here's for the ask game! <33
☁️🪳🎮🌙💕
Hiii, thank you very very much, I'm so sorry this took a while - I hope it's okay 😊
💭: I have a lot of ideas, so this might not be definitive; it feels pretty perfect at the moment. Ski day! (i have an addiction) so staying out all day in the snow, touring, finding every bit of powder Kate and I can. Just taking our time too, and stopping occasionally to take everything in. . . * Dreamy sigh *. First in last out, stopping in the lodge only for a hot tea at noon. Kate in her purple cool guy snow gear - struggling to tug her along when she runs out of momentum on a flat zone because she just Had to snowboard-
🪳 I think it's a tie! We'd see who gets there first and then bring the critters over so the other can see. -or honestly I scream and Kate takes out-
🎮: There are some games I can defenitely get competitive with but, it's ABsolutely Katie. She gets So into that stuff. Proper gamer.
I love being a girly girl, and I love being with a not girly girl who will do girly things with me. Love doing her makeup when she wants to feel pretty because she doesn't know how. I love that we never mix up our laundry because she wears boxers and ripped jeans and band shirts and I wear dresses. I love seeing my ballet Slippers and Mary Jane's next to her combat boots. I love how comfortable and confident wearing a suit makes her feel, but I also love when she decides to wear one of the two dresses she has tucked into the back of her closet. I love how she likes to be the leader and how she gets overprotective, not just of me but of her friends and anyone she sees who needs it. I love how soft and gentle she is. How she needs to lay on my chest for at least an hour when she gets home to recover from the day. I get to squeeze her head against my chest and scratch her undercut and it instantly relaxes her. Squeezing her as tight as I can with my arms and legs. She's my best friend 💜
I'm thinking about how All Creatures Great and Small puts Kate to sleep. It's one of my favorite books and shows. I like to think when I put it on Kate falls asleep quickly, and I have this image in my head, that is rather vivid of snuggling in bed and Kate being very sleepy asks me to read it to her. Perhaps she woke up from a nightmare (I think she gets them from the attack on new york) and it helps calm her down. She doesn't actually know what's going on, at least not much, she just gets eepy.
