Happy Sapphic September, have a Bixcinta snippet!
“You came to Ferrix to kill Cassian, didn’t you?”
Cinta looks up from her vigil at the window, startled by Bix's sudden appearance in the doorway, but makes no attempt to deny it.
“Why?” Bix holds her gaze with a quiet intensity, but there is no trace of accusation in her voice. Deep, dark circles beneath her eyes betray her lack of sleep in the hours since she said she was going to bed.
“He knew too much.” Cinta watches her warily, but Bix merely nods, appearing unsurprised.
“And if it were me?” Bix asks. She takes an urgent step forward, the words tumbling faster and faster. “If I were captured, knowing what I do now, and all you could do for me was a blaster shot? Would you do it?”
“Yes.” Cinta answers without hesitation. The truth of it calms her, even as she waits uncertainly for Bix’s reaction.
“Promise me.” Bix’s voice is fiercer than Cinta has ever heard it as she crosses the room and takes both of Cinta’s hands in hers. “Promise me you won’t let me go back. Promise me you would kill me first.”
“I promise.”
“If I went back there— I couldn't— I won't—”
“Bix.” Cinta lets go of one of her hands to cup her cheek. “I promise.”
Bix searches Cinta’s expression for a long moment, eyes scanning her face in darting movements, before she finally calms at the honesty written there. She closes her eyes, letting her head rest on Cinta’s shoulder as Cinta runs a hand through her hair, gazing over the top of her head to continue watching the street below.
