Love Game

part 2

advancing the last few steps to hana's door, the engineer held her breath. she'd rushed home to scrub the forge's soot from her skin, and replaced her work clothes with a grey tank and black sweats. balancing a tray of freshly baked cookies on her right forearm, she rang the doorbell.

bracing herself, her breath hitched when she saw hana open the door.

decked in a pink t shirt (with her typical bunny symbol on her chest) and skinny jeans, she looked stunningly radiant.

hitching up onto her tiptoes she pecked brig on the cheek before noticing the cookies. "are these for me? aw, you shouldn't have."

completely flustered, brig's ears rang with blood even after hana had grabbed the tray and welcomed her in.

kicking her sneakers off, brig followed.

once inside, the condo smelled sweet; like fruit and candy. it was decorated in a simple minimalistic and clean design that was staunchly different from what the engineer was used to.

setting the tray down on a table, hana turned back to brig. "so, what do you think of the place? pretty snazzy huh?" she asked, lifting an eyebrow and putting her hands on her hips.

"it's wonderful-" brig replied. "much different from papa and rein's, but-" anywhere feels like home with you "but i love it. can i see your gaming room?"

"갑시다; let's go-" she gestured, grabbing brig's hand. the way her soft, small hand fit perfectly into brig's much larger callused one made hana's heart race.

after walking down a short hallway, hana opened a door at the end of it. "here we are- dva headquarters."

peeking in, brig was awestruck at how coordinated and organized the room was. bathed in a soft pink light, four monitors at a white desk. an led keyboard and headset ready to be used. gaming trophies and stuffed animals placed on shelves around the room. a large bed with ornate pink sheets and blankets.

stepping in, dva plopped herself onto the bed. nesting beneath the covers, her dark eyes peaked out playfully.

"hana, this is incredible- i love it all. it's so- you."

"is that a good thing?" hana responded, popping her head out from being the blanket. one eyebrow cocked yet again, she surveyed brig's expression.

"the best."
