Naomi’s tears had begun to cover most of her cheeks in the short period of time that it took her to put her thoughts into words, and it took Eve equally as long to reach out, and gently guide her into her lap. There, she felt like she was five again, being held by her big sister after smacking on her face at the playground, except that this time the hurt was rather more permanent as she’d ran around with this ginormous weight pulling at her for the past three years.
Eve’s arms curled around her, holding her close as she sobbed out the emotional weight of her coming out, staining Eve’s shirt with her tears and clutching tightly onto her sister until Eve began to pull away. She nodded, eyes red-rimmed and cheeks streaked with tears as her sister grasped loosely onto the sides of her face and asked her if that was what had been bothering her. Evidently, Eve had caught up to some degree. She didn’t look entirely surprised, making Naomi think back to what the girl from the smoothie shop, Dani, had said about knowing that she was gay.
Eve pulled her back into her arms, and Naomi let out another series of pained sobs as she was held by her sister’s soothing embrace, loosely curling around her back and protecting her from everything out there. Her breath shook in her chest, rattling through her in short, frequent gasps as she attempted to calm herself down from where she’d fallen into a pit of release after admitting it to her sister. The weight had immediately been taken off her shoulders, that was for sure, and although she knew Eve better than anyone else in her life, there was still a little voice nagging in the back of her head that maybe, maybe Eve wouldn’t accept her.
“I just want you to be happy,” her words made Naomi clutch tighter onto her, sobbing quietly into the dip of Eve’s neck, only calming down slightly as the taller brunette slowly began to comb her fingers through Naomi’s hair. Her voice, still thick and choppy with tears, broke again as she tried to speak and instantly went back into another fit of tears. “I just… I didn’t want- t-to disappoint you.” Eve’s movements stilled, and there was a throatiness in her voice when she spoke that Naomi could only ascribe to tears. “Oh, baby girl. I wouldn’t be disappointed in you for something like that. Ever.”
Naomi crawled in bed with Eve that night, curling up against her side with her head resting on Eve’s shoulder, and Naomi finally felt as if she could relax. “I still love you, Nomes. So, so much.” Naomi didn’t respond, only curling up more against her sister, reveling in her body warmth and her familiar smell as they both drifted off into sleep together.
