Warning: Vibe-y I guess, but nothing explicit.
A/N: This is unbeta'd so any mistakes are all mine. Title from Bloc Party 'So Here We Are'
When Emily finally gets Naomi, she thinks: this is it.
Everything that she had wanted for so long and now she had it. It was going to be perfect.
---
Of course it isn’t perfect.
Emily can’t help but feel that something’s missing, she’s not quite as complete as she thought she would be.
It takes her weeks to realise that it’s Katie, that thing that’s not there but should be.
---
When Emily tells Katie that she misses her, Katie turns her head away, and won’t look Emily in the eye.
Emily knows that means that Katie’s missing her too.
---
“She took you away from me,” Katie whispers late one night, when it’s dark, and there is only the moonlight shining through the curtain for them to see with.
“She didn’t Katie. She couldn’t.”
Emily hears the quiet sniff, but she doesn’t think there are any more words to say, so she gets up from her bed and slides into Katie’s. She wraps her arms around Katie’s waist, rests her forehead on the back of Katie’s neck and places a kiss against the top of her spine.
Katie stills.
---
Katie’s managed to turn round in the middle of the night; so that when Emily rouses she’s looking straight into Katie’s eyes.
Emily knows that they aren’t actually telepathic, because that’s just plain stupid, but they do know each other pretty damn well.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Emily says, trying to quell Katie’s fears.
“Yeah,” Katie responds. “I know.”
It’s her eyes that give her away. Emily hugs her tighter still, tries to tell her that way.
They drift back to sleep, their foreheads pressed together this time.
---
Katie wakes her by stroking her fringe away from her eyes. Emily doesn’t think anything of it, because they’re sisters and it’s what they do for each other.
“Thanks,” Katie says quietly, and it’s so faint that Emily thinks maybe she didn’t actually say it aloud. It doesn’t matter, as she hears it anyway.
Emily feels whole for the first time in a long time.
