"Oh, so much better," Pearl sighs out, arms reassuming their hold around Garnet. "Goodness, it was amazing. You could make a living doing that. But don't really, because I want you all to myself." Her legs wrap around Garnet's back, too, and a hum of contentment reverberates through her throat as she presses her close with all four limbs. Pearl's not usually quite this unrestrained with her affection, but this particular combination of exhaustion and endorphins loosens both her muscles and tongue, rendering her a gooey, giggly mess. Maybe it'll occur to her to feel embarrassed later, but for now, it's just nice.

"I love you, too." Pearl kisses the top of Garnet's head, then adds with a laugh: "I'd go as far as to say you've re-earned your title of 'the best'."
