Someday I'm Gonna Be With You (Carmilla One-Shots)

Laura and the Comforting Beast

Laura learns the consequences of being a hero.

I'm tired.

Laura has had a long day. After a full semester of being badass and kicking the butts of every evil being in Silas, she prompty failed every single final. She supposes that's the consequence of trying to do the right thing and save her school. Not like they thanked her for that or anything.

Her eyelids feel like bricks. It's not a pleasant feeling, and if she's being honest she could really use a good hug and a crying session.

She opens the door to ger dorm room and tosses her bag on the ground by her bed, flopping onto her bed. Except instead of her bed, she ends up laying across the stomach of a big furry black panther with Laura's Yellow pillow clutched between its massive paws.

"Oh, hi," Laura says, not having enough energy to be mad at Carmilla for using her bed. It's probably already covered in hair, and yelling at her girlfriend isn't going to change that. She tries to get up, only for Carmilla to abandon the pillow and wrap her fuzzy arms around Laura's middle to tug her back down to lay against her exceptionally fluffy stomach. "Carmilla," Laura murmers in complaint, but it has no force to it.

Laura finally gives up, already exhausted as it is and not wanting to waste more energy fighting off a clingy possessive Catmilla. She turns in the panthers arms so she's laying along side her almost face to face but not quite, and tucks her arms close to her chest, burying her fingers in the fur along Carmilla's jaw and scratching slowly, almost numb. She finally sighs as the stress from the day starts to dissipate.

The tears fall slowly but surely, and she feels Carmilla pull her closer once more. Once she feels the soft rumbling of Carmilla's purr under her fingertips, only then does she let herself succumb to sleep.
