Rey's arms settle around her, warm and heavy. And it's easy just to go with it, leaning against Rey's chest. Laughing with her. Because it is ridiculous, just a little, how they've ended up here. Mead on the floor, their clothes still half on. Their marriage vows now officially consummated.
How strange that they've ended up here.
She wouldn't have it any other way.
"Hmm," Maketh agrees, patting vaguely at Rey's arm. "Yes."
The area is something of a mess. They'll have to clean it up sooner or later. Rey just opts for later.
Right now, the high still has her reeling, and Maketh is the only thing on her mind.
"We should... do that again sometime."
She's beaming, leaning back so to lay them both side by side over the couch. A bed would have been more convenient, but something about the spacial constraints makes this feel more intimate. Makes her feel closer when she can look at Maketh's face here and now.
"Oh, yes," Maketh agrees, shifting slightly. It's more comfortable that way and Rey is warm and solid. Easy to hold onto. Maketh tips her head a little, watching Rey's face. The warmth in her eyes. She puts her hand on Rey's cheek. "Wife."
With a serene sigh, Rey's eyes flutter shut, before gazing at Maketh in front of her. She leans her head against Maketh's hand, placing a kiss in her palm as she nestles closer. Their legs entwined.
"Wife," Rey echoes with a giddy leap in her chest. "No matter how many times I hear that, I never tire of it."
"Not a title I thought I would ever wear," Maketh admits, tracing the line of Rey's cheek with her thumb. Much like the ring. But she's fond of it now. It belongs to her. She'll keep it as she pleases. "But I am content with it."
Arm still wrapped around Maketh, Rey brings her other hand to her wife's side. She makes small circles over her skin. Just feeling. Taking in this moment.
"So, take it that means I didn't do so bad for a first timer?" She laughs, feeling foolish for being so nervous about this at first.
Rey sighs, still reeling but content. She presses her forehead to Maketh's, savoring her closeness.
"Mm. Wonderful. I like that. Don't know what I was expecting, but... I like it." She pauses, giving Maketh a quick kiss. "Thank you. For being with me."
"I don't know. Maybe it's more about where I'd be. I felt so lost." She cups her hand over Maketh's cheek as well, her thumb stroking her face. "But this? Feels like home."
It's strange. Rey can't think of ever feeling so grounded like this before. She doesn't want to let it go.
Being something of a wayfarer herself, Rey hadn't known what it felt like to settle in one place for very long. And even then, she was almost always ready to pack up and move.
Right now, however, moving is the last thing she wants to do.
She closes her eyes, nuzzling against Maketh's forehead with a serene smile.
Perhaps, in a little while, they'll move to a bed. Maketh feels rather content now, Rey's arms around her. The sound of her breathing a gentle lull in the background. Gently, she flicks at Rey's hair. Smiles against her chest.
Everything still feels like it's spinning, but in a good way. She'd never felt like this about anyone before. Those feelings mix with dream-thought and her waking mind as memories blend together. How real this feels. How good it is. How badly she yearns for it. How frightening it was to her before.
She hums, holding Maketh just a while longer. They needed this, she thinks. They both did, especially Rey.
Her arms squeeze around her wife, unable to bare the thought of letting go.
"I don't want to wake up," she murmurs to herself.
Because she realizes that Maketh won't be there when she does.
Maketh closes her eyes, sighing against Rey's neck. Listening to her heartbeat, letting herself settle. The feel of sweat and warm skin, something that ought to be unpleasant but somehow isn't. She's comforted. Safe, even.
"Sleep," she murmurs. "We have all the time in the world."
All the time in the world. It's a nice thought, even when time itself is always fleeting. Every fiber in her wants them to stay here forever, in this moment. Still, Rey wants to believe...
Her eyes flutter shut then, just feeling Maketh pressed to her. Taking in every second of it and committing this moment to a memory so it'll never die.
It'll be a while before she wakes. Take it while it lasts.

Maketh has lived many places. Conquered some, or watched them be conquered. Some of them had felt right, though very few had been home. But this--
Perhaps she could try.
Maketh tips her head, chasing the feeling.
"I like that."
