ff_yuri_drabble. if you squint really really hard at the end there is something that could maybe be construed as yuri.
Celes had always prefered silence. As a general she'd never had much of it, her life filled with the constant cacophany of war. In the war room, on the battlefield, in the infirmaries afterwards - there was no time for silence or contemplation, there was only instinct, the need to act and react.
She'd left that life, chosen a different path. She hadn't found the silence she craved, but she'd discovered sounds just as sweet - a voice raised in greeting, the laughter of friends, the gentle words of a heartfelt apology.
But even now, sitting on a couch inside the Blackjack, surrounded by friends, Celes found herself wishing for quiet, to be able to step back and let the warmth of this precious moment sink into her being.
Celes made her way to the Blackjack's upper deck. Terra was there, watching the world unfold beneath her. Celes came to stand next to her, saying nothing, not wanting to interrupt the other woman's thoughts.
Terra gave her a shy smile, the twist of her lips so slight that Celes wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't been so close.
Together, the two women stood in silence and watched the sky.
