Beyond My Knowing, chapter 26

-You know your actions were the best that could rightfully be expected of anyone, don’t you?- Anara asked her. -Better than I might have thought anyone capable of before having met you, in fact…-
-You really think so?- Kes asked back, already knowing that Anara did.
-…The way you see… To you, life, everything… it’s beautiful, and beyond any price. That it brings you sorrow now, I’m sorry for… but I’ll… I’ll always be here, I’ll always be yours. I want to give you comfort, I want to take away the things that trouble you. I’ll do anything you need, anything you ask…- Anara told her.
-…Just having you with me, being in love with you… It might take some time, but I know I’ll heal from this… and I know that will be because of you. I believe that. I believe in us… enough to know that anything I had to do… it was worth it, what I did… I hate it, but it was, and I’d do it again if I had to.- Kes told her, kissing the skin of her neck and letting her mind sink deeper into the bond she had with Anara. It was what they both wanted, Kes couldn’t mistake that even if she tried.
Anara gasped softly, and so did Kes, both of them felt warmth flushing through their bodies and minds. Words seemed to just melt away… They’d never gone quite this deep before when they weren’t making love. In a real way, this was a harder thing for both of them than that. The physical pleasure had always blunted their conscious presence to some extent or another… This… This was just… raw… sharp, clear… almost terrifying.
Neither could bring themselves to stop though, they just let the falling happen until sleep took them away.
The next thing Kes really knew, she was in a field of green on a planet that was, to her, an impossible distance away… yet one as close as the woman who stood next to her and held her hand. Kes turned and met her eyes and smiled.
”This is Juranjos… the planet where I was born.” Anara told her softly.
”The fields outside of Bayzan.” Kes spoke. Bayzan was the colony city where Anara’s family had lived, Kes could almost remember it as though it were her own memory too. Juranjos had been a Trabe colony, one of many annexed by the Kazon after they overthrew their captors. A lush, beautiful world, full of green. Her father’s duties had taken him away from here, and, at one point, Anara, her brothers, and mother too.
”I’ve always treasured the memory of this place.” Anara told her.
”…I always will too, I promise.” Kes told her softly, touching her cheek and moving in for a gentle kiss.
When the kiss broke and Kes blinked her eyes open again, meeting Anara’s happy regard, she smiled and felt lighter all over, the worries and troubles of the waking world feeling far away and of little importance at all.
”My heart, my soul… always for you.” Kes told her wife.
”Always…” Anara repeated, moving closer.
They stood there for a time, and then, in course, went for a walk together through the field, down to the river that was a few kilometers away.
It was a long walk, but they had the time, and Kes could truly think of nowhere else she’d rather be… certainly no one else she would rather be with.
