Nothing But The Rain
Cassandra had always liked the rain.
She slowly opened her eyes and gazed at the glass doors leading out to the balcony off her chambers. The sound of the raindrops gently landing against the glass pane was incredibly soothing, almost hypnotic, and she let out a content sigh as she settled deeper into her bed. Thunder rolled in the distance. It was too far off to truly make its presence known, but the sound still drew out a tiny murmur of protest from the small lump curled up next to her. Everly tensed in her sleep briefly, then huddled closer.
Midsummer showers like this never failed to bring one of Cassandra’s favorite memories to mind. It was the first expedition she and Everly had gone out on after they acknowledged their feelings for one another–specifically, the first time they had shared a tent since the admission. As soon as Cassandra had sent foot inside, the once-spacious tent had suddenly grown two sizes smaller, their bedrolls now so close she had looked away to conceal her nervousness. Blushing, she had immediately ducked out again to take the first watch.
That morning, however, she had woken to the gentle sounds of rain against the canvas and Everly sprawled on top of her, head on Cassandra’s shoulder and a leg thrown haphazardly over Cassandra’s waist. Cassandra had just lain quietly, listening to the rain and running her fingers through Everly’s hair, marveling at how the Maker had seen fit to send such a ridiculous, beautiful creature into her life.
And then, as if to prove the former, Everly jerked awake and cracked the top of her head against Cassandra’s jaw so violently they both saw stars. Once the pain subsided, the only way she had been able to get Everly to stop apologizing was to pull her into a deep, lasting kiss.
Luckily, the rain picked up after that.
Gotta support amazing wlw Cassandra fics. This is absolutely lovely.
