Sera snuggled into Finn's embrace, her heart swelling with affection as she listened to his whispered words. "I love you too," she murmured back, nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck.

Sera sighed softly, her heart swelling at his words. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close. "I can't wait either," she whispered, resting her cheek against his chest, the steady beat of his heart grounding her. "It feels like forever, but I know we'll get through this... together." She closed her eyes, savoring the warmth of his embrace, the comfort of his presence in a world that felt so uncertain. "Home," she repeated, the word a promise she clung to. She knew that wherever they went, as long as they were together, it would feel like home.

Sera woke slowly, the soft warmth of Finn’s arms still around her. For a moment, she stayed perfectly still, savoring the feeling of being so close to him. His breathing was steady and calm, the faintest hint of a smile still lingering on his lips. She could feel the weight of his words from the night before: Together. It was simple, yet it resonated deeper than she expected. In the quiet of the morning, with the world just starting to wake up, it felt like everything had shifted, like they were no longer just two people, but something more. The sunlight filtered gently through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the room. She shifted slightly, not wanting to wake him but needing to stretch her stiff muscles. His grip tightened for a moment, and she couldn’t help but smile softly, feeling his warmth seep into her skin. She laid there for a few more moments, wondering if this was how it would always be now. How simple, how right it felt to be with him. She closed her eyes again, allowing herself to bask in the quiet comfort of the morning, knowing that whatever came next, she wasn’t alone anymore. Together. Eventually, she carefully extricated herself from his embrace, though not without a touch of reluctance. She took a moment to look at him—peaceful, unaware—and felt a rush of affection. Together. It wasn’t just a word. It was everything.

Sera paused, glancing over her shoulder at Finn. His voice was soft, laced with sleep, and it made her heart skip a beat. She had planned to slip away quietly, but now, seeing that sleepy smile on his face, she felt a little guilty. "Just needed a little air," she whispered, trying to sound casual as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Her eyes lingered on him for a moment longer than she'd intended, before she stepped away from the bed, keeping her movements slow. "You go back to sleep, Finn. I'll be right back." She hesitated, then gave him a quick, playful smile, her lips curling up despite herself. "Don't miss me too much," she teased, though the warmth in her voice betrayed the lightheartedness.

Sera chuckled quietly, her fingers brushing through his hair as she leaned down to press a soft kiss to his forehead. She grinned at his sleepy words, shaking her head fondly. "You're right," she murmured, her voice warm and playful. "Wouldn’t want to give the neighbors a show." She pulled the blanket up to his shoulders gently before standing, giving him one last lingering glance as he drifted back to sleep. With a soft sigh, she moved to grab her clothes, her heart full from the tender moment.
