Gamora wakes up to an empty bed. She is aware of the sunlight filtering in through the same space that windows might have been. It takes her nearly five seconds to realize that something is wrong. She turns over in her slumber, exhaustion still coursing through her body and just as she feels her eyes begin to close, she realizes that she feels nothing at all. No arms tightened around her small frame, drawing her closer to him, no tender kisses pressed against the back of her neck in an attempt to rouse her awake.
She wakes with a start.
It's strange to think that a year ago, she and Five had been nothing more than strangers forced together by strange circumstances and now, he's so intertwined in her daily routine that she can't sleep without him. It's strange for him not to be by her side form the moment that she wakes but it's not all too unusual. She assumed that he's downstairs, working on some painting or reading a page from his sister's book.
Still, the house feels emptier than she's ever seen it. There's a clutter of books strewn across the floor when she steps out of their bedroom, and the surfaces lack the clean sheen that that Five insists on maintaining. She heads down the stairs, calling out his name as she makes her way down. It feels strange now, and she can't help but feel suspicious. Usually at the sound f her footsteps on the ground, he'd be calling out to her, greeting her good morning with a small smile on his face and a coffee in his hands.
