"Trixie, baby. Trixie, calm down." Katya tried to tell the fast pacing doll in front of her.
"No, I don't know what to do, I can't find anything, but there's no way in hell that... that man-child has all his paper work in order, so why the fuck can't I find something? We're running out of time and I know I need to-"
"Trixie, relax. Breathe honey, breathe." Katya told her, wrapping strong arms around the panicked girl, keeping her in place as she guided her breath. Holding her so close that Trixie could feel Katya's chest move with deep breaths against her back. "Just breathe.. okay? There you go, just like that... in and out... just like that. It's going to be okay, Trixie."
"How?" Trixie asked in a small voice.
"We've got the money already, right? Yeah, so we're halfway there. We'll do this together, and we'll find a way. Don't panic, we'll work it out." The blue eyed girl said softly, gently moving them from side to side before kissing the top of Trixie's head.
The brown-eyed doll turned around in her arms, leaning up to steal a soft kiss, their lips meeting never failing to bring comfort and safety.
"How can you be the one who can rile me up the most, but also be the one who calms me down the best?" The doll asked the other woman.
"Maybe I'm just the one, period."
"I'm starting to think you are." Trixie said as she hugged Katya close, leaning her head on the girl's shoulder. "Seriously tho, I never expected you to be the optimistic one of us."
"I think that comes from my mom... I've just tried to shove that part of me away for a long time..."
"Really? I've just... you don't talk about your family much..." The brown eyed girl said, trying not to be too intrusive.
"Yeah, I know..." Katya said, feeling a bit guilty about how much she knew about Trixie, when she herself had shut down all questions regarding family. She took Trixie's hand and lead her over to the couch, urging the girl to sit down next to her. "Mom was a dreamer... sometimes I still see glimpses of who she used to be, but for years she's almost been like a recognizable stranger. She used to say that anything was possible, and that everyone wanted deep down to be loyal and good. She'd read to me every night, bake the most wonderful creations, and sing sweet lullabies. She cared about love more than anything in the world... convinced that love is all you need to be happy. Living for love was her dream. But dreams are elusive... in a sense I guess she got what she wanted, but not in the way she had pictured it. Mom was pure, naive, but so sure of what her goals were... I kinda admire her from that... She knew what she wanted and didn't give up until she thought she'd found it."
"What happened? Why wasn't it what she had wished for?" Trixie asked. Katya took a deep breath, before finally letting herself trust someone entirely, opening the door that she had kept locked up for so long.
"My dad... He started cheating on her when I was six, he lied to her over and over and she thought she was becoming paranoid. He also started pressuring her into getting plastic surgery... it was ridiculous... she was beautiful, practically perfect, just older than she'd been when they met... but it wasn't enough for him. She started drinking, and dad only pushed her away more and more which made her problems grow worse and worse. Dad found a new fiancé when I was fifteen, and he left us both for a new family. Mom never got over him, and I never got over the anger I had for him. I became obsessed with not ending up like him or my mom. I didn't wanna break promises, so I never let myself make promises to people in the first place. I didn't want love to burn me, so I never let myself get close to anyone. But then you came along..."
"I melted the Ice Queen." Trixie said with a small smile, knowing from experience that empty words of comfort usually didn't make people feel better.
"You really did. I kinda let it all out on my dad when I was at his house and he said some things that made me really mad at first, but then it just made me realize that I control who I become. I don't wanna break promises, so I'll just try my best not to break them. I don't want love to burn me, so I found someone who I know can trust with my soul. And I'm ready to turn the page now." Katya said.
"That's great, Katya. I'm so happy for you. And... I'm ready to start a new chapter with you after this mess is settled. As long as I'm with you, I know I'll have a soft place to land."
"Yeah.. let's start a new chapter, where every page is a soft place to land."
"I'd like that." Trixie whispered before pressing another soft kiss to Katya's lips.
