The silence was broken by soft sobs. Patricia Watson buried her face into an area near Marie's chest.
"M-m-m-marie..."
"I'm here now, Patricia... it's not a dream... want me to prove it...?"
"P-prove it!"Patricia stopped functioning correctly for a few moments. Marie laughed. That sound snapped Patricia out of her stupor.
"Hmmm....~"
Her mouth became a squiggle as she snuggled Marie, wrapping her arms around her gently. Marie rubbed Patricia's head after taking her hat.
The former orphan melted into her, enjoying the moment. Marie smiled softly. Both of them had a subtle blush. Patricia looked up to make eye contact with Marie. Even with her eerie red eyes, Patricia knew that was Marie, the girl she grew up with.
Oh, how she wanted to be more. Patricia suddenly looked ashamed of herself, putting one of her arms between the eyes of her other arm.
"What's wrong...?"
"Marie, is it wrong...? I'm scared..."
"Why...?"
"B-because- I-I-I-!"
Patricia didn't have to say it. Her Argus eyes gave it away.
"I already told you how I feel, Patricia..."
"Then please. Call me Patty."
"Of course."
Marie's voice was soft and loving, just the push Patricia needed.
"Hot damn...!"
A strong blush covered the Anti-Skullgirl's face. She tried to hide it with one of her gloved hands. Marie smiled, her good nature still shining through it all. She cupped the sides of Patricia's face. She blushed hard at the touch, her mind moving faster than a bullet train. Her heart beat lightning fast in her tiny chest.
Contact.
It lasted only five seconds, but those five seconds changed Patricia's world. She put a hand up to her lips, shocked. "You... y-you..."
Marie blushed somewhat.
Patricia leaned into her, finally at peace.
"I love you, Marie."
The Skullgirl smiled softly.
The Anti-Skullgirl no longer had to fight her.
