Following the Stars

Before the Storm

Lydia woke up first, the alarm on her phone blaring beside her, with a groan she switched it off and dropped back down onto the bed, glancing over to Allison who was still fast asleep, her face buried into the pillow, one of her hands holding onto Lydia's like a lifeline, Lydia can't quite understand why the sheets only covering half of Allison's body but all of hers, but she isn't complaining, it allows her access to trail the patterns she carved into the pale skin just the night before, red angry marks starting at the shoulder blades and working their way down to the bottom of her ribs, guilt floods Lydia immediately, knowing that they're going to be sore for a few days and the extra pain isn't something Allison should have to deal with right now, she trails her a finger back up to Allison's shoulder and moves the hair away and- oh, she's awake and staring at Lydia, and Lydia can't help but wonder if she'll ever stop losing her breath when she sees Allison looking at her (She doubts that)
"Hi" Lydia smiles, her fingers brushing along the trail of love bites along Allison's shoulder
"Hi" Allison grins and there's the dimples "Do we have to get up?" Lydia nodded "Nooo" Allison whined, burying her face into the pillow, scrunching her eyes shut, her hair obscuring her face and Lydia flushes because that's the cutest fucking thing ever. She pushes Allison's hair from her face and Allison cracks one eye open and grins again and rolls onto her back, Lydia is immediately distracted because, well, Allison, Allison naked. Allison naked and rolling on top of her and kissing her and grinning
Lydia decides right there and then that this side of Allison is her favourite side "je t'aime"
Okay, Allison speaking French is also pleasant
"O Deus Ego Amo Te" Lydia replied, loving the frown she gets
"Not all of us can be as brilliant as you and speak Latin Lydia" Allison reminds her, still grinning, Lydia rolls her eyes and grips Allison's face
"Oh God I love you" She repeats, bringing Allison in for a kiss

"And you call me the romantic" Allison grins into her mouth and Lydia breathes a content sigh as she runs her fingers through Allison's hair, down her neck, along her shoulders, down her ribs- Lydia frowns and pulls away from Allison

"You tore your stitches"

Allison's eyebrows shoot up into her hairline in confusion before pulling away altogether, Lydia misses the warmth of her body immediately as Allison settles herself on Lydia's thighs to peel off the gauze

"Oh" Allison pokes at the wounds, one of the claw marks has begun to bleed steadily, she flashes an apologetic look to Lydia and climbs off her her

"Come on you idiot" Lydia stretches and rolls off of the bed, holding out a hand for her to take "Let's go get you cleaned up" Allison takes her hand and allows herself to be led, her face wrinkled in confusion until they reach the bathroom and Lydia turns on the shower, Lydia could pinpoint the exact moment Allison's lips curled into a smug grin "don't get any ideas" she waved a finger at Allison "We can't let you keep tearing your stitches like this. Get in"
"Like what? With earth shattering, mind blowing sex?" Allison flashed another grin before hopping under the stream, sighing in content as the water hit her back, Lydia paused to appreciate the sight before jumping in with her, they giggled and washed each others hair and bodies before getting distracted by each other and Lydia had Allison pinned against the wall and kissing her until Allison laughs breathlessly and reminds her that they'll end up all pruney. Once they've dried off Lydia sets to work stitching up Allison again and leaving the brunette to get herself ready

Allison was the first ready, she headed down the stairs, stifling a yawn in her fist and waving a greeting to Stiles and Danny before heading into the kitchen and grabbing the lucky charms, a bowl and spoon and sitting at the table, Stiles and Danny join her a minute later, both helping themselves to the cereal, they eat in silence and Allison can't help how her cheeks burn when she catches Stiles and Danny staring at her neck (she wasn't surprised when she saw that there was the majority of her neck was peppered in dark bruises, she knew Lydia had suffered the same fate) she had thought about using concealer but had decided against it for the time being
