( @lungbxrrow )
—— Charlie rarely let anyone touch her hair – it was a deep-set trauma, one she never spoke about. Only Maxim was trusted with it.
But this was different. This was nice.
It was STRANGE, to be catching a train across Boston just as the sun was coming up. It was a sharp juxtaposition from running across the universe, fighting wars, liberating people – it was nice, she thought, to just…
Be human.
Not a human fighting for her life. Not a human SCRAPING by, or hurting. Just a human, a girl out on the town with her best friend.
The train was almost empty, the sky a soft grey – the sun was about to peek up over the HORIZON as they made their way across the city to get home. She was exhausted, curled up against his side with her head resting on his shoulder. Affectionately, he had started to stroke her head, fingers softly running through the dense, fair coils — and, for once, Charlie didn’t pull away or swat at him. Instead, she closed her eyes and curled up a little tighter.
“ It was fun, ” she murmured. “ Thanks for taking me out. ”
