here's some writing I did when @AriaOfSasha and I started talking about our WoL's dating!
The room was dark still when Flidais opened her eyes. She'd been dreaming of attempting to paddle a giant Namazu down a river made of apple juice and her mouth was now dry and incredibly thirsty. She reached out for the cool jug of water she kept near the Void Ark coffin she slept in. That's not right. It wasn't there. Hang on. The room came into focus more as her vision sharpened in the dark. This wasn't her bed chamber. Was she upstairs? And on the floor?
The tall Viera shifted, sitting up under the small pile of blankets. Usually when she fell asleep on the couch reading she didn't have a blanket. She also didn't end up on the floor. Shaking a floppy ear from her vision she wiped her cheek, trying to force the sleep fog from her mind. She'd had company over? Maybe? Moving her arm she felt rough scales next to her. There on the floor under the blankets, where she must have been laying in the Viera's arms, was an Auri. The sight of her dark haired friend brought the memories back and Flidais beamed.
Shura had come to visit. It had been a wonderful evening, late into the night and when Shura had been visibly tired, Flidais had offered for her to stay the night. They'd fallen asleep together, Flidais's Ananta roommate bringing them blankets. The jug of water was just out of reach, and she carefully extricated herself to solve her dry throat.
In the dark she smiled, feeling her heart swell at the sight of her friend sleeping peacefully. By Menphina, Shura was gorgeous and Flidais loved every moment they had together. Metrina, Flidais's wife had been teasing her over her obvious crush. Pushing her to go for it. In the morning maybe. This seemed a pretty definitive "yes I like you too" step.
Thirst refreshed but still tired, Flidais twitched her fluffy tail and carefully lay back down. She had barely reached the floor before a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close.
"Sssssssoft..." Shura mumbled. Flidais covered her mouth to stifle a snort at the action, then placed a gentle kiss on Shura's head before settling back to sleep, held in her friend's arms.
