Fics like love like you

Mensah laughs under her breath, moving to snuggle Tainara back up against her chest and rubbing her back again. She watches through the window as the lanterns wink out one by one, leaving only the wide slash of stars illuminating the lawn. Reflected in the glass panes, she sees SecUnit turn its face toward her, starlight mirrored in its eyes. It looks at her with such open admiration that her heart squeezes. She feels an edge of guilt; to be so admired when she is so weak, so scared all the time. She doesn't deserve it. She pretends not to see. --- SecUnit spends some time with Mensah's family on their farm. Maybe - just maybe - her family can be its family too.
