The Air Over Montana | Wednesday Evening

[guardian_god]

Traveling between Fandom and Montana had become rather routine. This time was different from the rest. Dimitri had been almost sad to cross over the causeway, as though he felt he'd never see Fandom the same way again. As usual, he and Rose had walked to the Metro and headed to the airport directly. Security was always fun

Rose wasn't sure she could talk even if she tried. If she talked, she might start crying, and Rose Hathaway never cried. Especially about stupid things like leaving the place she'd been exiled to or missing her friends or having to give up everything to do with the guy she was head over heels in love with.

Instead she let herself drift through memories of the past year - Homecoming and days on the beach, turning into a cat, having a gremlin steal her clothes, stalking monsters as a little girl, playing pool with Dimitri. Once the plane landed, she'd put away all the memories and do her job forever, but for now, Rose could feel the strength against her shoulder that was Dimitri.

It was a while before he gave up on reading (and mostly because he found he wasn't actually reading anymore) and tucked the book into the seat back in front of him. Dimitri turned a little, leaning down to rest his chin against her head and see what she was looking at out the darkening window.

Even in the mood Rose was in, she couldn't help smiling just a little as he moved into her. She shifted slightly, pulling his hand and arm over her shoulder and leaned back into his chest.

It was too comfortable. He was never going to want to let go, but since he didn't have to yet, Dimitri was content to breath in the scent of her shampoo and wonder if he was strong enough to never do this again.
