"Morning, Cupcake."
Caitlyn stirred, humming. She stretched, sleepily blinking her eyes open.
"Morning." She smiled, looking up at Vi.
Vi was beautiful in the early morning light.
She was standing next to the bed, holding something in each of her hands, but Caitlyn's vision was too blurry to make it out. What she could make out was storm gray eyes, fluffy red hair falling into her face and highlighting her features.
She was gorgeous.
"I made tea," Vi whispered, sitting down next to Caitlyn. She perked up, finally seeing the mugs.
She reached for hers, a white mug with floral details her grandmother had gotten her as a little girl. It warmed her hands against the cold of the room.
Caitlyn took a sip of the tea. "You're amazing." Vi giggled.
"Only the best for my love."
Caitlyn smiled, leaning in and pecking her lips. She loved this side of Vi, the soft, loving, brilliant woman that only she got to see. Vi put a finger under her chin and pulled her back in, kissing her fully this time before letting her go.
The moment was dulled by a knock on the bedroom door.
Vi sighed. She looked at Cait. "Come in!" she called.
The door opened and shut in a second, a flash of blue ducking in and disappearing as soon as it had appeared. Caitlyn giggled at the girl's antics.
"Did you make any tea for me?" Jinx asked, now underneath the bed. Vi rolled her eyes.
"No, you don't like tea," she replied.
Caitlyn smiled around her mug, leaning back against the pillows and continuing to drink.
Jinx sniffled. "You didn't make any for newer," she whined.
"You can't have tea from underneath the bed anyway, Darling," Caitlyn chimed in.
"I don't want tea."
Vi snorted into her mug. "You're a brat, you
know that?" she asked Jinx, although her tone was purely playful and lighthearted.
"I want fizzy juice."
"It's too early for fizzy juice," Vi replied.
"But I want fizzy juice." Her words were muffled from being under the bed, but Caitlyn could still hear the pout in her voice.
"Why don't you come up here?" Caitlyn asked her.
"To snuggle?" Jinx inquired.
Caitlyn smiled softly. "Of course."
Jinx was on the bed in seconds. She curled up at Caitlyn's side, hair positively a rat's nest but a content smile on her face. Caitlyn slid an arm behind her to hold her close. Vi couldn't help but smile too as she watched the scene.
"I cannot believe my little sister is stealing my girlfriend from me right now, in front of my face," Vi joked. Jinx laughed and hid her face in Caitlyn's shoulder.
"She's just warm," Jinx said.
"Oh, is that it?" Vi asked.
"Mm-hm," Jinx hummed.
Caitlyn took another sip of her tea. She held it out to Jinx. "Want a sip?"
Jinx perked up. She nodded, leaning forward and taking a careful drink of the warm liquid. She smiled.
"I thought you hated tea," Vi said.
"It's good when she makes it."
"I made this tea," Vi said smugly.
"It's awful," Jinx changed her mind.
"Who's side are you on?!" Vi laughed. Caitlyn tightened her grip on Jinx and laughed too, a big fan of the sibling banter.
"You two are adorable," she said.
"Damn right," Vi said, batting her eyelashes at Caitlyn.
"I am not cute!" Jinx cried. Vi and Caitlyn both laughed.
"You're right, Bunny. You're adorable," Vi taunted. Jinx stuck her tongue out at her. She buried her face in Caitlyn's hair.
"I hate you both."
"Awww," Caitlyn cooed.
"We love you too," Vi said, scooting over to sit on her other side and gently rubbing Jinx's back. She looked down at her sister lovingly, playing with her hair now. Caitlyn leaned over to kiss the top of Vi's head.
Caitlyn pulled back and smiled at them. The teenager at her side who made her life infinitely brighter and the love of her life, who brought her tea in the mornings and made her feel more loved and safer than she ever had.
She couldn't think of a single thing she would trade any of this for.
