(Okay!)

Nora held her close, not letting go for a second. The kiss wasn't like any other that she'd ever experienced. It was different. She would stay like this all night if she could.

The week went by slowly. The only good parts of the day were those she spent with Rowan. Unfortunately, today had been even worse. After a particularly long shift, Nora stumbled into the room, not talking to anyone as she headed straight for the bed.

"Hey." Rowan's once-cheery smile at Nora coming in the room melted as she saw Nora's expression. She walked over to her slowly. "What's wrong Nora?"

Nora didn't bother with trying to get on her bunk, she just flopped down on Rowan's bunk. "Those dumb bastards can't do a damn thing right and I'm the one suffering because of it."

Rowan sat down next to her and ran her hands through Nora's hair gently. "Did the Seargents blame it on you?" she asked. "That's really messed up." The girls in their room were used to the two of them by now. They could probably sleep in the same bed and none of them would care.

Nora sighed heavily. "Of course they did. They're not going to own up to their mistakes. They were supposed to be monitoring everything, not me. I'm not even in a supervisory role!" Being blamed for the mistakes of those around her had been beyond infuriating.

Rowan nodded. She wasn't good at dealing with her own emotions, but she mostly knew how to listen and offer advice. "You should be the supervisor," she said, nodding solemnly. "You could be a good leader."

Nora snorted in disbelief. "No, I wouldn't. I'd end up backhanding every single one of those incompetent idiots within the first hour of my being in charge." That wasn't even an exaggeration, she would definitely do it.

Rowan laughed. "True. But still–" Someone pounded on the door, giving them a warning for lights out. Rowan looked hesitantly down at Nora on her bed. "Do you . . . want to sleep here with me tonight?"

Nora groaned in annoyance at the loud bang that came from the door. The timing is more infuriating than usual tonight. She craned her neck and looked up at Rowan, surprised by the offer. "Are you sure? I don't want you to feel like you have to offer."

Rowan shrugged. “You don’t have to. But I wouldn’t have offered if I didn’t want you to. But if you don’t want to it's alright.”

Nora rolled over onto her side. "I want to." As if to prove her point, she wrapped her arms around Rowan's waist and pulled her down next to her.

Rowan laughed softly. “Okay then.” She leaned down to kiss Nora. “Just a second though.” After gently prying Nora’s arms off of her, she stood up and took off her shirt, then layer down on her bed just as the lights went off. She layed her arm down so Nora could use her arm and shoulder as a pillow.

Nora was completely unmotivated to get up and let alone change clothes so she just laid out on the bed. Her taller height makes it awkward for her to use Rowan's arm as a pillow. The position caused her feet to stick off of the bed. "Let's switch positions."

Rowan laughed softly. “Well, our nicknames have to be accurate.” She moved so that she was laying on Nora’s arm. “Better Top?”

"Our worlds would be turned upside down if they weren't accurate." Nora laughed and switched positions eagerly. "Much better, Bottom."

Rowan craned her neck to kiss Nora briefly. “Goodnight.” Nora smelled good even after a long day and being so close to her was nice.

Nora smiled at the kiss, now completely relaxed. "Goodnight, Rowan." She bent her head to nuzzle her cheek before she closed her eyes.

Rowan fell asleep quickly nestled into Nora. She decided she wanted to fall asleep like this every night.

A week later it was Rowan’s turn to have a bad day. She woke up with next morning before Nora with her head on Nora’s chest. She got up carefully, trying not to wake her. After the day she had yesterday, she really needed to go to the gym. She wrapped her hands in a special cloth and went to town on a punching bag.

Nora was still sprawled out on the bed, sound asleep. However, she did wake up when she felt Rowan get up. It had gotten to the point where she found it hard to sleep without her. She yawned and rolled out of bed. The next few minutes are spent getting changed into clothes and taming her while blue curls. Once done with that, she set off to go find Rowan.

Rowan pounded into the punching bag. Each shake of the chain and sound of her hits drowned out the memories of yesterday. Adrenaline pumped through her veins, fueling her on. To anyone else she probably looked like a monster, glaring and punching. But to Rowan it was only herself and her fists.

Nora paused at the entrance to the gym. "Rowan!" She called out as she cautiously approached the other woman. This concerned her deeply. People only get like this when they're really really upset about something. She had it in her mind to beat the hell out of whoever did this.

Just after delivering a particularly forceful punch, Rowan jumped and turned around. The punching bag swung back and crashed into her, causing her to stumble forward. She gave up and sat on the floor, panting. “Hey Nora.”

Nora flinched when she saw Rowan get smacked by the punching bag and then flop on the floor. "Shit, are you are?" She asked as she extended her hand to help her up. "What happened? You aren't usually so mean to the punching bags."
