sweetness ✩ n. romanoff

gianna's sickness and sadness are barely distinguishable between one another, but nat knows she can treat them the same way for a mostly positive outcome.

The soft whisper of a sharp knife through the supple skin of the mango in Nat's hand is the only sound apart from the rain. The silver metal is the brightest thing for miles; Gianna and Nat's house doesn't have bright white walls or spectacular tech, advances facilities or excessive expanses of lonely glowing space. It's small and full of tiny trinkets and cushy furniture in colours that match simply because they don't, a family home for two. Wet yellow-grey sky hums to itself in weak thunder cracks while Nat finishes taking the skin off the mango. She chops the mango into small, manageable pieces and leaves them in a green bowl while she gathers the skin in her wet fingers and throws them away. The bowl is picked up, fork already in it, and Nat pads back to the bedroom.

The hump in the floral red covers inhales and exhales gently, staring out the empty window. Cavity - a tiny calico they adopted mere weeks ago - is sat on top of it and moves up and down with every breath. Ever since Nat woke up half an hour ago, all Gianna has done is stare and mumble tired responses to everything with glossy eyes and a trembling bottom lip. She knows the other woman has been awake for a long time, but she knows she hasn't moved from the bed since yesterday in the afternoon when she went for a nap and never resurfaced.

"Baby," Nat hums gently, sitting on her side of the bed but still close to Gianna, "Mango."

Gianna shifts slightly to warn Cavity and the kitten leaps from Gianna's hip to Nat's lap, right beneath the mango bowl in the hopes that some will fall into her greedy little mouth. According to the woman who sold Cavity to the pair, she wasn't very friendly and didn't much like being around people; she follows both women around the house so closely she is accidentally stepped on at least once daily and still innocently wobbles along beside them after.

Nat pierces a small chunk of the sweet fruit with the fork, patiently waiting for Gianna to pull herself into sitting and let her head fall onto Nat's shoulder. Nat holds it up and Gianna sighs, then opens her mouth slightly. Nat slowly feeds her the mango and she eats it slowly, every open-and-close of her jaw pressing into Nat's skin. The wind pushes itself up against the window, testing the panes' strength, before disappearing.

"Eat." Gianna whispers. Nat glances at the other woman, at her bed-ruffled hair and eyes crusted with unwashed mascara, and feeds herself a piece of mango. When she goes for another piece to give to Gianna, Cavity pounces and steals it straight off the fork.

Both women giggle and Gianna shakes her head. "Little bastard." She purrs, shakily stroking from between Cavity's eyes to the back of her head over and over again. Nat holds up more mango and can feel her chest become less tight when her girlfriend takes it without complaint, chewing and watching while Cavity's eyes slide shut and she falls asleep on Nat's leg.

The bowl is emptied gradually and by the time Nat gets to the last piece, Gianna is responding to questions with more than one word.

"My baby." Nat murmurs, pressing a caring kiss to Gianna's head. The other woman presses a quick kiss to Nat's collarbone.

"Your baby."
