Title: Military Furlough (5) Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 145 Pairing: Maura/Kel Fight: 1C Summary: Snuggling in bed leads to serious reflection.
“She’s beautiful when she sleeps,” Maura whispered, running her hand along Kel’s cheek.
“She’s beautiful when she’s awake,” Wyldon pointed out.
“But when she’s asleep, we see her true face. She isn’t burdened with duty.”
He stroked her arm, his large hands warm against Maura’s cool flesh. “I think the same could be said of you.”
“It’s not the same.” She leaned forward, away from the warmth of Wyldon’s body and dropped a light kiss on Kel’s mouth. “Sometimes she’s too good at hiding the real Kel, keeping it on the inside while the exterior remains calm and even. But now, asleep, we can see who she truly is.”
Kel wrinkled her nose and furrowed her eyebrows, then shifted her body entirely so it was closer to the other two.
“Thank you,” Maura said, looking over her shoulder at Wyldon. “Thank you for introducing us.”

I love this moment <3 It's so tender, and I like the fact that Maura's bothered by how guarded Kel can be.
