Yeah... Colette and Reese have both been through some stuff. TW: Drugs, alcohol, swearing, self-harm, degrading, and sex. You know the drill. If this will trigger anything for you DO NOT READ ON!!!!!!

The cool breeze on my skin, in my hair. The poison in my lungs. I feel better. 

"Reese?" A small voice behind me squeaks. Shit...

I turn to face my kitten "Colette?".

"What are you?- Hey, stop that. You'll hurt yourself." 

"I- I'm sorry, Kitten, I didn't mean to wake you." 

"You didn't. I- I had a nightmare..." Oh no...

"Fuck- I'm sorry" I drop to my knees and crawl over to my Kitten. "Do you want a hug? Are you okay?" I hold my arms open and she drops into them.

"I'm okay. I was just worried when you weren't in the apartment anymore. Are you okay? What happened?" I didn't want to worry you...

"Oh- yeah, I'm fine. My mother just messaged me and she was being a bitch and I needed some air so- yeah."

"C-can I kiss you?" 

"Of course!"

She pulls me in and smashes my lips to hers. She nibbles my lip and sticks her tongue in. Our tongues do a bit of dance until hers bests mine. She pulls away leaving me gasping for air.

"Are you okay?" She's looking directly into my eyes and using her hand to keep my face toward hers. 

I'm weak against her stare. I start crying. "No- Fuck- I'm sorry... Y-you shouldn't have to see me like this."

"Reese..." I can practically hear the thoughts running through her head. Is she disappointed? Angry? Oh, gods... I hope she isn't worried. "Reese, we should go back inside. It's cold out here, you'll get sick."

Between the pheromones coming off of her, her soft sweet voice asking so nicely, and those eyes begging me... I never stood a chance.

"Okay." She stands and helps me up and practically drags me inside.

Once we're inside she takes the hat off my head, the coat off my shoulders, and the boots off my feet and puts them all away before she looks at me "Do you want something to eat? You should eat."

"No thanks, I'm not really hungry..." I could use a drink or two though...

"Y'know, Reese, one of the worst parts for you dating a telepath, especially one who can't control her powers all that well, is that you can't hide anything from me." What's she talking about?  "While it's very nice of you to avoid the topic for my sake if you want to go to a bar I can't stop you." Oh... 

"I can't just leave you here by yourself..." What if she needs me and I'm not here?

"I'll come with you."

"Are you sure? I know la-"

"I'll be okay. Let's go, I know a place." Before I can say anything else we've teleported in front of a bar. Therapeutic Alcohol. "Wow, it really has been a long time."

*Colette's POV*

"Wow, it really has been a long time." I look at the bar in front of me. Memories try to force themselves into the forefront of my mind. No... It's going to be different this time.

"Where are we?"

"The place where I died. C'mon, I know the owner" I lead Reese into the bar.

Virgil spots me and looks relieved "Hey! Princess, over here!" I hide my face and bring Resse to the counter with me.
