“Is that for me?” Marinette asked.
Cass nodded, “Headache?”
Marinette flipped the switch, forgetting why she had turned it off and then looked down while blocking the light with her hand. She saw Cass’s hand move in front of her and with a small click, the light turned back off. She rested her hand on the counter to help the dizzy spell pass and commented on what she saw when the light was on.
“That’s a lot of chocolate.”
Cass hummed in agreement. It had a pleased tone to it. She didn’t always feel like talking too much but Marinette could always tell by the way she hummed when she was happy or frustrated.
“You’re sick. Lay down.”
Marinette pouted but then turned to go into the other room. She said her mom’s hot chocolate and snuggles always made her feel better but she mostly just wanted Cass to come over and lay with her while she laid down.
Cass brought her the hot chocolate and then moved away and started cleaning her apartment.
“Come on Cass, I know this is what I asked for but this is not what I meant.”
She gestured at the cocoa and then back at Cass cleaning her mess. Cass turned back, she bounced slightly with her hands behind her back and a mischievous smile on her face.
“What you want?” she asked.
“I want you here with me. I need to cuddle, not worry about you cleaning up my mess.”
Her pleased smile was back but she came to the bed and climbed in with her. She rubbed her back and pressed a kiss on her forehead. Marinette could feel the frown as she pressed her lips there.
“Too tight,” she said.
Marinette hadn’t even remembered that she had put her long hair up in a tight bun. She was supposed to be getting a lot of things done today so she had put it out of the way. The tension released as soon as Cass pulled the pins out. She sighed as the other woman's fingers moved into her hair and pressed at her scalp. Over and over her fingers wove through and then massaged the tightness away. The relief was intoxicating as was the feel over her hands in her hair. Marinette was nearly asleep. She relaxed against Cass as she felt her weaving the mass of hair into a loose braid.
The bed shifted and Marinette’s hand moved out trying to stop Cass from leaving her there. She peaked at the rustling noise.
“Are you taking out the trash then?” Marinette pleaded, really begging for her to stay.
Cass kissed her cheek. “Sleep. I will come back.”
She was asleep by the time Cass did return but she had kept her promise and Marinette snuggled into her sleepy embrace. The headache was mostly gone but she was happy where she was.
