Tearful Reunion, Take Two

Kait · Apr 29, 2016

The first thing Chloe felt was the headache. This was shortly followed by confusion. Where was she? How did she get here?

She opened her eyes and immediately regretted this decision. Light was painful. But while her eyes were open, she realized that she was in bed, in a hotel room.

Right. She was in Hawaii, her home got hit by a tsunami, and she hated herself. She closed her eyes and rolled over in bed, turning away from the sunlight, groaning loudly.

As she was doing this, she collided with something small. Someone else was in the bed with her.

"Whuah..." She grumbled, pulling her face off of the other person's chest. She must have gotten drunk and slept with someone, thinking that would make herself stop thinking about her dead girlfriend. She could at least take a look at whoever she'd been sleeping with before trying to go back to sleep.

She opened her eyes and froze in place. She was in bed with Cheeto.

Was she still drunk? Was she hallucinating? Was this a dream?

The half demon stared down at the goblin, wide-eyed, poking her on the cheek in a hope to verify the reality of her presence.

"Please let this be real," she uttered.

Cheeto looked awful. No effort was put into cleaning the poor girl up, she still reeked of seawater and sweat, her hair a horrible mess, and she was still asleep, her chest slowly and slightly rising and falling under the covers. She was in a bad way, but it was clear that the sleep helped. Her face seemed to glow, even with bags under her eyes, her hair a tangled mat against the pillows, but she gave off a light to rival the morning sun.

It made up for her snoring, at least.

As Chloe rolled over onto Cheeto, the little goblin made a small, weak groan. She wrapped her arms around Chloe's head and hugged onto her. Her body shuddered for a few seconds, her grip tightening, before Cheeto relaxed and let go. With a long, powerful yawn, Cheeto stretched her arms and her legs, feeling the sharp pains of muscles protesting to her movements. The little goblin's eyes half-opened, looking at Chloe. "Hey there, what's up?" Her voice creaked out, her body still vehemently refusing to be awake.

Chloe kept staring at Cheeto in disbelief. "You're alive." She said. She was real. She could feel her and see her and hear her, and she wasn't dreaming - she didn't feel headaches like this in dreams.

Relief washed over her. Tears began to flood her eyes. She shut them again and hugged Cheeto tight, sobbing into her neck.

While people normally need coffee to wake up, Cheeto learned that a lover's tears of joy work just as well. That, and being hugged tightly while recovering from a near-death experience at sea. The little goblin gave a small, strangled squawk at first, then returned the hug, holding tightly to Chloe and stroking the back of her head.

"I'm alive, and tired..."

The little goblin gave a weak smile, still fairly exhausted, but nuzzling into Chloe's neck incessantly. She wasn't too tired for cuddles, it seemed.

Chloe had a good deal of sobbing left in her. It took a few solid minutes of that for her to be ready to talk again.

"What even happened to you?" she managed to say eventually. "Like, the last thing I remember my dad basically forced me to abandon you, And I think I got really, really drunk because I thought that would make me feel less awful about it. And I think your sister was there. And now here I am."

She had remained silent while Chloe cried, softly stroking her hair and patting her back. Cheeto was still quite tired but more than willing to be there for Chloe, seeing just how bad she had scared her lover.

"I... I'm sorry. I stayed behind to try and stop the Tsunami. Dorito tried to get me to leave with you but I..." The words caught in her throat. Through the morning haze and the elation of waking up next to her Chloe, Cheeto remembered; she failed. "I had to try, even if..." She swallowed hard, forcing down her guilt, her weakness, how pathetic she was, all this and the lump in her throat before she spoke again. "When things got bad, my powers kicked in and I was sent to where my sister was. Really glad she was here with you, you know." Cheeto smiled weakly, her eyes still half open and her body slumping slightly. "Wanna get some coffee?"

Chloe remembered seeing the wave come in. She already knew that Cheeto had failed. Cheeto seemed really upset about that, which confused her. As powerful as Cheeto might have been, she was fighting a giant magical tsunami.

"We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Coffee would be nice," Chloe said. "Maybe some water too. That's supposed to help hangovers."

Chloe started to realize that they both smelled like seawater and sweat. And there was a sort of wet dog smell mixed in with it. Maybe a bit of vomit, too?

"On second thought, maybe we should shower before going out in public."

She stopped cuddling with Cheeto and sat up. She never thought that she could hate the sun this much. The full force of the hawaiian sun was smacking her in the face. "What's that glowing bullshit in the sky?" she groaned. She stumbled over to the window and pulled the curtains over it.

Cheeto started to get out of the bed as Chloe did, but suddenly realized how impossible a task that was. This bastion of warmth and softness called to the goblin, its siren song a more powerful temptation than anything else in this world or the next. With a weak yawn, Cheeto began the mental battle to escape the insidious and seductive confines of the bed.

As Chloe slid the curtains closed, Cheeto half-fell onto the floor, catching herself on weak, shaky arms before crawling the rest of the way down. With a small groan of exertion, she strained her shaky legs and stood up, bracing herself on the bedside table. "We're in... where are we?" Dorito felt close by. That is to say, Dorito was still asleep but their shared memories spoke of a similar room layout, but also a similar hangover. Cheeto tried to keep her contact with Dorito at a minimum, she couldn't stand having a half-hangover on top of the aches she was feeling.

"My hotel room on Hawaii," Chloe said. "Dad invited a bunch of people over here to wait out the tsunami and the worst of the cleanup. He got the jet ready once we learned the island was getting hit. I tried calling and texting you the whole time, but I guess you left your cellphone in your room."

While she spoke, Chloe helped to help Cheeto stay on her feet and lead her to the bathroom. She took a deep breath, then let out a shaky sigh. "I'm so happy you're alive." She patted her hand on Cheeto's shoulder, pulling her closer.

A hotel in Hawaii, huh? Cheeto never dreamed of venturing this far into the human world, even if it was under the protection of a being like Mikhainon. She never thought she'd go to Starlight Academy and actually see a world outside of her home in the Black Forest, either.

As Chloe took hold of Cheeto and helped guide her towards the bathroom, she gave a small chuckle. "Ever thought you'd wake up next to me in Hawaii? If we were here for any other reason this would be so romantic." She gave another chuckle, this one a little more bitter, though.

As Chloe pulled her closer though, speaking to her like this, Cheeto turned and wrapped her arms around Chloe's hips, nuzzling into her stomach and holding her tightly. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Cheeto fought back tears, though she knew she was apologizing to all of Manta Carlos as well as to Chloe.
