Dried tears

She looked at Tsun and got up running to her and hugging her. "Mommy?"

*Stammering, she figured it was better to get it out.* "D-did you say you loved me!?" *She said this faster than normal, but to where she could still be understood.*

Color left her face as Tsun said that. How the ... She looked at Teri, then back at Tsun. "Is it smart to ... talk about that here?"

She blinked looking back and forth between the two. "You like mommy too?" She then tilt her head in confusion while looking at C.C.

"Sweetie...p-please g-go get breakfast...w-we have g-grown-up matters...to talk about..." *She ushered Teri out of the room quickly, her heart racing more than usual.*

She blinked and then hugged Tsun quickly. "Okay mommy." she then ran off into the kitchen."

C.C. stayed silent, on the bed. She didn't know why she caused this havoc. Last night, everything was fine, and she was doing just great, and she had calmed Tsun down frmo all the mindstorm. Now, she somehow found out, about something that only just flared up, and everything turned into a mess.

"Sh-should w-we go to your...private dimension? S-so Teri doesn't w-walk in on us? Or...talk here?" *She was flustered, she didn't know how she should react.*

"World of C is not used for things ... like this." Her face had gone red over the seconds that passed, and she didn't want to lose Tsun, in any way. Not as friend, and not as anything possible else.

"O-okay..." *She didn't know what to say.* "...I-I h-heard you...mutter...in your sleep...it just registered..."

A desk materialized in front of her, and she rammed her head on it, leaving quite the crack as a mark. "Really ... Not, quite, how I imagined telling, if I ever would have had the guts to ... "

*Tsun recoiled at the desk materializing, but was still flustered.* "I-is it t-true? I-I mean...we've known each other...for nearly a thousand years...we both raised Namide..."

Still her head on the desk, letting it rest, her voice was trembling a little bit. "Y.. Yes, it is ... "

"...I-I'll admit...it's s-sudden...b-but if...y-you...feel that way..." *She walked around the desk and slowly sat next to C.C., hugging her.*

The desk fell into dust, and the dust disappeared through the floor. She looked at her, her eyes tearing up a bit, then closing them, and looking away. "I think ... it's best I didn't come back. I can't put the danger to you or Teri."

"No...don't leave. You're one of the few people I've known for a long time, we've been through so much, Teri likes you, I...I love you too, and I'll help protect you if something happens..."

She turned her head fast to Tsun, her hair swinging around like a ballerina's dress. "You ... But, your husband? What'll ... "

"H-he should be o-okay with it...as long as he doesn't interpret it the way...I did..." *She looked away. Stranger things have happened between them.*

"But ... How do you interpret it then?"

"That y-you lo-love me in the s-same way he does..." *She went completely red, and wanted to hide in a pocket dimension, but resisted the urge.*

"Should I get the desk back? Seems like a good moment again." She got up, walked to the bathroom, but halfway down, she turned again, and pushed Tsun on the bed, pressing her lips on Tsun's, while shifting her bodyweight on that of Tsun.

*Tsun's eyes went wide, surprised. She resisted the urge to fight back, the way her body would normally react to such an assault.*

She ended the kiss, looked at Tsun, and went away from her face a bit. "Prolly not a good idea?"

"I...don't know..." *Syprus was away...so she was alone...she needed the company...and Teri had taken a liking to her as well...* "...but you're already..." *She went red, hoping she didn't need to go farther into that sentence.*

"I'm ... married, as well, yes. By law, that is. But ... I haven't seen him in ages now, I bet he has someone else already."
