"i want the k" shankino
the warm bath eased her muscles, the tension held between her shoulder blades abated and relieved. even more comforting is his presence beside her, fingertips squeezing and rubbing out the knots in her neck. she insisted that it should be her that cared for him after a long journey back to foosha , but his insistence that she simply relax beside him and grant her his company won over.
makino had to say — she appreciated this choice far better.
maneuvering herself so she straddled him, either knee locked against his hips, makino cradled his face in her hands, his stubble scraping against her palms, in a way that reminded her of how it brushed against softer parts during his last visit. softly, she drops a kiss atop his head, breathing in the jasmine-scented shampoo she had washed his hair with earlier.
her hands settled and clasped together at the nape of his neck, resting her forehead against his. makino wasn't always certain whether he would return to her , and as the world events that brewed stirred more violently, there would come a time that his visits would be even fewer and perhaps not at all for a long time.
" i love you, shanks. always. "
