Moonlight Nocturne

"Um..." She hesitates. "... tomorrow's Friday, so... um... Not if Natasha says I don't have to?" she says, hopefully.

 

"Then you better get your butt to bed. C'mon."

 

She sighs hugely. "Okay..."

 

"C'mon, I'll get you and Miriam to a room," she chuckles.

 

"... you don't mind if I sleep with her?"

 

"... unless you're having sex, I don't care?"

 

Elena gives her a horrified look. "I'm twelve! I don't want to have sex!"

 

Winter ruffles her hair. "Alright. Just checking.... and Elena? If Miri asks you to do anything you're not comfortable with, remember you're allowed to punch her in the nose, it'll heal quick and get through her head faster."

 

"... Miri wouldn't do that," Elena says, with all the conviction of a twelve-year-old. "She's awesome."

 

"...of course she wouldn't," Winter says, guiding Elena inside. "I'm sure."

 

"... why are you saying it like that??"

 

"...you'll figure it out as you get to know Miri better." Winter replies simply.

 

Elena gives her a perturbed look, but follows her inside to look for Miri.

 

Winter shakes Miriam awake, then leads the two girls over to a cozy bed.

 

Elena yawns and cuddles into Miri, hugging her loosely, forehead to forehead. "Miri, do you wanna have sex? I think we're too young..."

 

"Uuuuh.....................yes?" Miri leans in, kissing her gently.

 

Elena blushes very red, cheeks hot against Miri's skin. "Oh. Um. ... Okay."

She'll kiss back, because of course she will.

 

The door opens, and Winter barks. "If you do, I'm putting you in separate rooms."

 

Miri squeaks, pulling away quickly and going red to the tips of her ears.

 

"... oh. Right." Elena squirms, very red. "... I don't want them to stop letting us cuddle?"

"... also they could hear us, right. Which. Um."
