The feeling of familiar warmth left her leaving the eternal cold whiff of death . The warmth then grabbed her luggage and went off. I miss the warmth.
Calli woke up noticing two immediate things in her peripheral. First being that her eyes are a bit blurred from what she can imagine is tears. Second being her location she was currently on a mattress which was located on the floor with what looks like an ikea bed set box beside her on the left. The bed felt warm. Not bed wetting warmth, instead it feels similar to a warmth left by a person heating the whole mattress up leaving it nice, safe and cozy. Calli snuggled herself a bit before hearing a familiar voice coming from a hallway.
A being entered the room, a lady with orange hair with greenish feathers dangling from her ears. She wore a white sundress and had a bit of a serious pout on her face. It looked adorable.Kiara put a hand on her hip before continuing her conversation.
"And that's why I need another day off Jenma-Chan. Calli is hear and I need to take care off her."
Jenma-Chan, Kiara's manager bit her lip leaving an exhale. "Fine, but this is the last one ok?"
Kiara's eyes sparkled, giving Calli a light blush (which she immediately hid) as she hung up the phone.Kiara looked at the mattress noticing how Calli had a bit of red on her face. She might be sick Kiara thought. Going closer to Calli she lifted her right arm and put it on Calli's forehead.
Calli's blush flushed harder. "Wh-what are you doing Kusotori?" Calli asked. Why am I nervous? Ah, well I'll deal with that a bit later.
Kiara remained silent for a few more seconds closing her eyes and focusing on Calli's temperature. She's cleared. Kiara released her arm putting it on the mattress as she crawled on to it in order to cuddle Calli. "Temperature check. I needed to make sure you aren't sick."
Calli obliged it wrapping her right arm towards Kiara's right shoulder as she pulled for a full on hug.
The two remained silent for a whole awkward minute before Calli broke the silence. "Aren't you angry?" Calli asked as she looked back at the ikea box, avoiding eye contact.
"Why would I be?" Kiara replied. "I heard the full story from Amelia. If you didn't want me to leave then why didn't you say anything?"
Calli sniffled. "I didn't want you to think of me as less of a friend and I didn't want you to avoid what you wanted to-" Calli stopped abruptly it was as if something held her back. Maybe it was guilt, the guilt of avoiding the truth that Calli actually needed the Phoenix. Perhaps it was fear, the fear of Kiara's reaction and the horrid thought that she would think of her lesser of a being, lesser of a trustworthy friend. Maybe it was both of them combined.Kiara lifted her hand slowly moving Calli's face towards hers. Calli's face was tear-stricken eyes shut as if holding back more tears. Kiara embraced her in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Calli croaked a whisper sniffing for air along the way. There was a certain warmth that radiated from Kiara a warmth that comforted her and reminded her of why she platonically loved Kiara and maybe more than that.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Kiara shouted breaking the embrace they had.
"Don't apologize and stop thinking that what you wanted is a weakness because it's not. It's natural and if you ever wanted it, if you ever need it. Just tell me ok?"
Calli nodded repeatedly as they returned back to a hug.
