The Upside Down (For Eluuna)

She didn't respond for a moment, her brows furrowed with pain as she tried to contain the vacuum, crushing it slowly with her hands, sparks emitting from her palms.

 

She crushed it permanently and her eyes flew open, her pupils dilated. She took a deep breath, dropping her hands.

"*squee!*. That one didn't feel too great."

 

"Mmhm," she mumbled, coming over to him. "Just bending the fabric of reality like a badass. How was your nap?"

 

She went easily into his arms, resting her head on his chest.

"Did you get my note?"

 

She laughed lightly, rubbing his back slowly.

"I love you too. I, like, really love you."

 

She laughed again, kissing his cheek before pulling away.

"My head hurts."

 

"You just woke up from a nap, though. Let's do something else relaxing."

 

"I'm not sure," she admitted, rubbing her temples. "It's a little fuzzy. Space-time is painful."

 

"That sounds wonderful," she said gratefully, exhaling tiredly.

 

She took it, her fingers slipping in with his hand in that lovely, natural way that they seemed accustomed to doing at this point. She kissed the back of his hand distractedly as they headed off.
