WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

Delilah

|LUNA|

The light hit my face when I was in the living room, laying down on the couch with Tanner on my back. He was being clingy, but more than usual. I pushed his arm away and sat up. I stretched my arms and in the middle of that process his arm wrapped around my waist and he bit down onto my side. "Tanner!" I smacked his head and he unhinged with a cocky smile. "Morning love." "What's with the biting?!" I lifted my shirt to find yet another mark. "What? I thought you liked it." He licked the bite and I leaned back onto his waist that was like a pillow. I rubbed my eyes and groggily said. "I don't." He lifted himself from the couch and in a swift motion pinned me down to it while he straddled me. "You're being more rude than usual. Can you tell me who's been a bad influence to you?" "No one you Jack ass. I'm just tired of your games." I went to push him off when he fell down onto me. "Are you still mad at me from last night?" He asked while he dug his face into my hair. "Ughhhhh Tanner get off." "In a minute." He sniffed loudly into my ear and told me something I wish he hadn't. "You smell different when you're awake." "You smell me?!" He nodded. "How else am I gonna know who've you been with?" "By asking!" I groaned. "Just please get off, I want time alone." "For what? Am I suffocating you or somethin?" "Quite literally." He got mad at that, and let go of all his weight onto my body while wrapping his arms around me. "Tanner/. You're.. suffocating-. Me!" "No im not, stop being a baby." He nuzzled closer to my face "You're warm for once, maybe It's because you've been eating better. Right?" I nodded. "Good, I wouldn't want you to starve. Now tell me..." he tossed up my head. "why was Liam sucking on your neck yesterday?" I gulped. "I don't know.." "don't play innocent." He forcefully grabbed my chin and harshly said. "I know you teased him, with that fake ass moan." He snaked down to my ear "so tell me why." "I thought... I thought if I made you jealous then you would break me out.." i braced for a hit when he through my head back.

"Ugh, You're just like her." He sat up and rubbed his nose bridge. "Like who?" "No one." "Tanner.." I sat up and rubbed his shoulders. "Cmon, You ca-." "Just bud out of it." He pushed me away but I was determined to make him feel better. "Tanner."
"Delilah! I sai-!" He froze after calling me that name. "De-?" "Shut it." He stood up and walked away without another word. His hands were in fists so I guess he was angry at himself. I sat there thinking, why'd he call me Delilah? I was interrupted with hands on my shoulders. Dr. Ellie was standing over me with the hugest smile on her face. "Good morning! Come on, let's go brush your teeth." She almost picked me up and led me to the bathroom upstairs. Where Liam and Leslie were brushing their teeth. I hadn't noticed before but Leslie had a scowl dedicated to me. Like I had just killed her family or some shit. I didn't bring it up though, but instead just brushed my teeth. "Hey Luna." Liam said while slinging his arm over my shoulder. "Why don't we hang out today? Maybe in the woods? We could skip rocks or read?" I smiled and hummed a yes. Leslie got happy out of no where. "Ya know, ima go look at the lake. It's nice out today and I wanna go." "It's winter." Ellie stated. "..., it's still nice out." Leslie left with a slam of the door and Liam and I went to put on jackets. We looked around the house and found ones Tanner brought for all of us. It's weird though, Liam's had holes in there. It's like Tanner wanted him to freeze to death. Non the less we went. It was still winter but wherever Tanner took us, it was warmer than before and there was no snow.. basically spring.

We walked out the back door and started walking to the woods next to the house. But as we walked we passed near the front of the house that faced the lake. There, we found Tanner chopping wood with Leslie trying to... flirt? With him. "Oh Tanner!!!" Leslie said while skipping over to him, he rolled his eyes "What do you want? I'm sorta busy." She sat down on a log and kept talking. "I just wanted to know how you were. You seem a little... tense." He groaned "I'm fine, just go back inside please." She shook her head "I'm fine here. The only one in there is Ellie and I don't really want to hear about how 'interesting' Luna is." "Wait. She's the only one in there?" She nodded. "Where's Liam and Luna?!" She shrugged. "Out." "Out where?!" He dropped the axe and ran back inside. We dodged his glare and ran intro he woods giggling like little children playing tag.
