For Korwell who's incompitence and insomnia has kept me up past 4 o'clock on many occasions
Soi Fong doesn't like morning.
She doesn't like waking up from a particularly sweet dream and looking in a mirror only to find that her hairs a mess and knowing that she'll soon have to go through the tiring process of braiding it. She doesn't like people asking her what she wants for breakfast of remembering there was things she must do and people she must meet. After all of the three military powers in Soul Society, the Gotei thirteen, the military police, and the special forces, she was general of two and second commander of the third.
She hates bathing in the morning.
She hates how when you got out of a warm tub in the day-time, the humidity sticks to your skin making your clothes feel hot, ecspecially since she wears around three layers on a regular basis. She prefers bathing at night-time.
In fact she prefers night-time in general.
She likes the way the breeze of night carries the scent of calmness and sleep. The way that things can be forgotten for a short while and lost in the obscurity of dreams. She likes undoing her braids and feeling that tingling on her scalp that made her want to sigh and fall onto her bed which is waiting with cool sheets. Of course she liked the night, she loved it some nights, when Yoruichi came.
It made sense that the goddess would appear at night. Whether it be bright golden eyes outside her window that always succeeded in making her jump, or a lightly taunting touch that suprised her in a way only Yoruichi could. Yoruichi will start at the top. Runningdominant slender fingers through her recently washed hair and smiling as her loyal follower sits in bed leaning into ever touch . They could stay like that until Soi Fong falls asleep, and sometimes they do. If not then Yoruichi will lean down or up and place a light kiss on her neck first, then lower.
It's like a dance, like a sparring match, like harmony. And it works because Soi Fong needs Yoruichi and Yoruichi wants Soi Fong. They both particularly like the way their skin looks togetherand the noises the other makes.
Soi Fong will drift off to sleep as a child, supported by someone who loves her. A child who never got the chance to be a child as she had devoted her entire youth to strength.
Strength and Yoruichi.
Now though she has that strength and can be vulnerable.
After she drifts off into that sleep though, Yoruichi will smile and just gaze at her for a little while. Then, finally, place a light kiss on her forehead, recover her jacket, and be gone into that very night that they both love. That's just the way they are.
Soi Fong hates the morning because she never wakes up wrapped in Yoruichi's arms.
