Prompt: "Reunion"
Fading away
"Do you think it still works ? The trigger." Jenna whispered while looking at the stream of suitcases.
They had taken all the time they needed to kiss and hug. Now, they were waiting for the carousel to spit out Her bags before driving back home.
"Maybe. Do you want me to use it ?"
"Well... If You don't mind."
"Very well. Sleep"
Jenna waited for Her trigger to take over, for her thoughts to quiet out. But, after a few seconds, it was clear that it wouldn't work, that it faded long ago. Her face fell, and she felt her tears threaten to spill.
Jenna felt Her arms wrap around her. "Don't worry, Jenna. You're doing fine, you did nothing wrong. What did you want me to do with it ?"
"Well. I thought You could drop me, then order me to follow You home while I'm completely empty." Jenna's voice was shaky, but she stayed strong for Her. "Sorry for being so needy."
"No, no. Don't say that. You're awesome just the way you are."
She hugged Jenna a bit longer, keeping Her mouth near Jenna's ear.
"And since you really want it..." She whispered something, and Jenna's mind faded away.
Notes:
This is possibly the short fic I am the most proud of so far, and also one that was mentioned several times since I wrote it, and that makes me even happier :)
I decided from the get-go to write a happy answer to this prompt, but I struggled to find an idea for how to make it work. This actually came from a vanilla friend of mine, who I ended up asking at some point and who suggested the "airport" thing as a joke answer. Well, I'm glad he did because that was a very good idea !
The main inspiration for this - or at least the dynamic between the characters - were from some of Ari's short stories (I couldn't point to one specifically - read them all they're great), and also from Sex-Obsessed Lesbian's stories (same deal - read them all !).
While harder stuff can be fun, I always love stories where the dom/sub relation is consensual and caring, and finding good fiction about it is always great ^^
