recallibrations

She hadn't really wanted to go out, but it was her only day off for the next week so some of her friends had dragged her out of her apartment with promises of a good time. She didn't really know what to expect but a loud, crowded, dance hall wasn't what she pictured.

Though Colleen wasn't one for dancing (she's got two left feet if you ask anyone) the atmosphere was intoxicating. Colleen spent most of her time around machines; machines that do that same thing each time, because that's what they're programed to do, any time she's around this many people she becomes so fascinated with them, she doesn't know what makes them tick, or make them do the things they do.

When one of her friends tries to drag her onto the dance floor she laughs and tells them to have fun, because she wouldn't be much, she probably couldn't last too long without loosing her breath. She takes a seat at an empty table and is content with just watching.

Waking up as early as Colleen does means having to be caffinated, usually she would hear her mother's words in her head about it being unhealthy but, her mother isn't here and she hardly slept a wink last night.

She pops into the auto diner, one that Peggy's recommended once or twice and takes a seat at one of the tables, she takes the menu and skims it over even though she knows she doesn't have time for a meal.

"Last time they returned home with a fever, I’m not letting you go in that state. You are not going to be laid off, I’ll make sure of that.”

Truth be told, she did not know anyone who could help, but Howard owed her way too much already, surely he would be as kind to jump in?

“I know you love your job, Colleen, but it ought to be the least of your problems right now. Hold on to me.”

The tone of Peggy’s voice was gentle, yet firm, as her hand snaked around Colleen’s waist and pulled her closer, afraid the other might collapse in the middle of the street if she let her go.

tuberculosiis

Colleen sighed and let Peggy support half her weight, surely one day wouldn't hurt but then again girls with spotless records are getting laid off just because they're not men. She pushes the thought aside as another round of coughing starts.

❛Thanks Peg, you can just help me back upstairs- I don't want to keep you.❜

Colleen speaks in a gentle tone, she really doesn't, she feels bad enough about being sick all the time, and when they're both home at the same time waking the other up with her coughing fits, she hopes that Peggy doesn't think she's responsible for her just because they share a quarters.

Peggy had found her friend doubled in half near their building. Certainly, she knew that Colleen’s cough was nothing to mess about with, but she had no clue it had been this bad. Of course, she ran to her aid right away. upstairs, get you that new inhaler we’ve bought yesterday.” ”Come on, I’m going to help you

tuberculosiis

Colleen shook her head and tried to push herself closer to the wall, she couldn't stay home, not today

❛Peg, (wheeze) I can't stay home (cough), they're cutting girls by the hour (cough) the veterans, they're taking up all the spots (wheeze)❜

She balls her hands into fists and inhales deeply, swallowing back another cough. she couldn't get fired, she needed this job, she loved it. she was tired of training those fellas just for them to take her friend's jobs.

Colleen/Peggy though

they moved in together and she jokes about how Peggy should meet someone, but she’s hoping that Peggy notices her

Peggy makes Colleen tea, and they snuggle up on the only bed in the apartment and they get to know each other and grow to love one another

Peggy making the first move and kissing Colleen while they both get ready in the morning for work

Colleen having a bright red lipstick stain on her cheek and smiling at it for a full minute before washing it off

Colleen and Peggy going shopping together, Colleen convincing Peggy to buy that gold dress

Colleen dancing with Peggy while she wears that gold dress

just… Colleen/Peggy

#«s: it aint life and death»#(love my gay children)

❛i'm sorry- it (wheeze) usually doesn't (wheeze) act up this bad, you don't (wheeze) need to stay, i've (wheeze) got this.❜

(of course she was lying, but she didn't need them knowing that.)

colleen puts one of her arms against the nearest building for support and bends over, trying to will her lungs to work again. her inhaler almost empty in her pocket.
