Summary: Their relationship is like a hurricane.
Notes: Beta read by the fabulous lanalucy. Thanks a lot. And also a big thank you to fig_aruna, who recommended the show to me.


You lay there, holding Piper from behind like you’ve been holding her ever since you invited her with a pat on your mattress. Come, be my little spoon. It had become a daily ritual. A ritual you cherish way too much, it is heaven and hell simultaneously.

“You came into my life like a hurricane,” you tell her. You speak softly into her ear, your lips scarcely touching her skin when they move. There’re goose bumps on her arms, you feel them under your fingertips.

“And you into mine,” Piper replies, pulling your arm tighter around herself and squeezing your hand.

She’s right, you think. You both were similar to a storm in the life of the respective other. But there wasn’t only chaos and destruction. There were thrilling turbulences and other good parts too. When you two were in the eye of the hurricane, it had been nice and quiet - sunshine and rainbows. However, that phase had passed and the storm had come back, only darker.

“The question is have we weathered the storm? Or is it turning around, sucking us in for another round?” you wonder out loud, afraid you won’t survive a second spin. There wasn’t enough glue left to put back together the pieces of your shattered heart once more.

“I don’t know,” she answers. “I can’t promise you that there’ll be just blue skies from here on.”

You kiss the back of her neck. “That would probably be too boring anyway.”

The End.

Feeling:  hot

This is wonderful, even as they discuss how stormy their relationship is, it feels like such the perfect quiet moment. Thank you!

you're very welcome and I'm glad that you like it. so thank you too =) nice prompt. even in the stormiest relationship there're quiet moments and they have those moments on the show too. And I just like the picture of them cuddling on a daily basis on Alex's cot *g*

btw, do you know where to find some nice OITNB icons? that would be great.

Sadly there doesn't seem to be many about or even an OITNB community but there are a few posts under the Orange Is The New Black tag in this comm (http://seriesicons.livejournal.com/tag/orange%20is%20the%20new%20black) and this comm (http://community.livejournal.com/_fandom_icons_/tag/tv%3A%20orange%20is%20the%20new%20black). I find the best thing to do is revisit some icon journals or communities that you like/have other icons from and check their tag list - works wonders when I join a fandom that's new to me but been going for a while. Or just checking ones at random, you never know what you might find :)

oh well, it was worth a try =) thank you for the links and hints. I noticed the lack óf an OITNB community, I was a bit surprised that I couldn't find one. I guess it's probably because lj gets more and more abandoned.

I have a feeling Alex and Piper will never be really out of the storm...but these quiet moments sure are nice. <3

Lovely fic.

thank you =) I think you're right, their relationship will always be turbulent, but that's part of who their are as a couple. I love small, intimate moments. that's why I like writing drabbles, it's the perfect opportunity to capture a small moment and let it shine *g*

So lovely, and such a beautiful look at their relationship and how they affect each other. ♥

aw, thank you so much =) it thinks it's a legitimate comparison. I don't know if this is what agirlnamedtruth had in mind when she came up with the prompt, but it was obvious to me that this was the direction this prompt needed to be written *g*
