Madoka wasn't sure how long she'd been standing there with her fist hovering in front of the door. The name plate made her heart still and her mouth go dry. Her other hand was curled tight in a fist as she debated on whether to turn away or just knock. The motion was so simple and one that she could do at the flick of the wrist. But moments passed and she was unable to just move her hand to do one simple thing.
[break][break]
Her frustration showed as she lowered her hand and turned to press her back against the door. Head bowed and lips quivering, she felt so small. Being a goddess for so long gave her the feeling of superiority and strength that her mother must've felt during her working hours. Madoka looked up to her mother so much because she could speak her mind even when she was afraid. She looked up to Homura as well because she could do the same.
[break][break]
But through all of those timelines, all of those moments where Homura was tasked to do the impossible, how could she match up to her?
[break][break]
What right did she have to intrude on her life when she might've found peace on Tomodachi Island?
[break][break]
Was she better off with Madoka staying as far away from her as feasibly possible?
[break][break]
The thoughts rummaged around her head like swarming bees, dulling the sound of the door opening until she found herself falling backwards.
[break][break]
"Ah!"
[break][break]
She reached out to grab onto something, anything at the very least, but something ended up catching her. And when she looked over her shoulder to see who it might've been, her heart might've stilled if it was still beating in her chest.
[break][break]
"Akemi?"
[break][break]
Madoka felt fear for the first time in forever and it was in the form of someone she loved.

Homura grumbled as she got out of bed, grumbled as she went through her morning routine, grumbled as she slipped on her shoes and made sure that ample cash was in her pocket. It was a grumble sort of morning, with the sun shining brightly through the curtain, and the lack of coffee in the apartment. Her plans for the day had mostly consisted of grabbing a coffee and a pastry for breakfast, grocery shopping, and maybe a nice island hike if she miraculously didn't get called off on a job. [break][break]

Well, she didn't get called off on a job, but judging by the girl who'd fallen into her arms when she opened the door, her plans were shot anyways. [break][break]

Because here was Madoka - a Madoka, she had to remind herself, there was that doppelgänger she'd met, this might not be the real one - right in her arms, where she hadn't been for years. [break][break]

Apprehensive was a good word to describe how Homura was feeling at the moment. She didn't want to get her hopes up, only to have them torn down again, but by the way this Madoka cried out in surprise, the way Akemi rolled off her tongue, the magical girl knew this had to be her Madoka. And the sound of her name being spoken like that was music to her ears, an incredible song you heard on the radio and were never able to find again, given up on finding. But it had reappeared, right here, and Homura knew that Madoka must have come to look for her, if she was outside her apartment. [break][break]

"Madoka?" [break][break]

She didn't want to let go of Madoka; not yet, at least. But the position they were in would look compromising lest they be seen, and it was with a heavy heart that she lifted the other girl to her feet.
"Do you- Do you want to come inside?"

Akemi Homura

[attr="class","jarbtgtextbg"]

[attr="class","jarbtgtext"]

Akemi changed.
[break][break]
Or had this always been the way that she was?
[break][break]
Madoka saw so many versions of Akemi, ones that she didn't like, others that annoyed her, some that made her feel sad. But she loved all of them because no matter what Akemi she saw, they always tried their best to do right by her. Even this Akemi was the same as she lifted her up and offered her to come inside. Her lower lip trembled and she curled her hands into fists, creasing the hem of her dress.
[break][break]
It was the worst time to be emotional. Especially in a hallway where others could see them. A private matter, that is what this was, and it'd been a long time since Madoka ever felt something was private. She'd been invisible for so long and only watching over the people, the worlds that she loved. Always able to see them from afar but unable to affect them directly, caring but distant.
[break][break]
Her head bowed as the feelings overwhelmed, taking light steps to enter the apartment but never keeping too much space between herself and Akemi. Once she was inside, Madoka pressed her hand to the door and pushed it closed.
[break][break]
"When you said my name," Madoka muttered with a slight quake to her voice. "You said it as if it was a question."
[break][break]
Distantly, she was aware that her body had been moved from where it was before. Her current form wasn't much different, hair longer and curlier, an inhuman glow to her skin, the lack of a beating heart, a grace too powerful to be named. She was a goddess but she felt emotions far too heavy for anyone to bear.
[break][break]
"But you didn't turn me away, like I feared you would."
[break][break]
The tears came, her hand rising to wipe them from her cheeks. A quivering smile formed as she looked to Akemi and tried not to choke on her words.
[break][break]
"I've wanted to see you, talk to any version of you and apologize. I'm so sorry that I didn't listen to you. That I went off on my own and made you worry. That I left you alone even when I promised that we'd fight together."
[break][break]
Madoka rubbed her eyes with her hands and tried to hide her reddening face.
[break][break]
"My job isn't done. A part of me still sleeps, working to fulfill my wish, but I just wanted to be happy with all of you."
[break][break]
Raising her head, she laughed although it sounded hollow even to her ears.
[break][break]
"Guess I'm still a little selfish, huh?"
