Amaya felt herself pulled into a sharp sense of awakeness even without the coffee as a terrible realization struck her. Because, yes, Irene had always been more emotionally honest that Amaya, but a brick was more emotionally honest than Amaya, it didn't take much, but this felt different than some of those teasing, coy things that Irene would sometimes say just to get a squirm out of her. This felt sincere. This felt honest. And Amaya had felt the way her heart seemed to just leap in her chest when the words I love left Irene's lips, and the way it plummeted down into her stomach in a tumbling spiral of relief and disappointment when it was followed by other words than just the one, and it was so palpable that all she could really do at first was groan and shift a little and try to think of something, anything to deflect away from the horrible, awful state of having feelings.
"I didn't even think two people could ever just fit together the way we do."
No. No! Not that! That wasn't deflecting at all!
"And I'm thinking now would be a good time to remind myself of how well those gags you got fit into my mouth, but in an entirely unsexy way," she found herself adding, thankfully, for good measure.
At least she could be honest about how she hated being honest, too!
