First Times

EXTRA: The update with Lisa's new pink key

Jennie was sleeping over again.

Lisa was leaning against the headboard, watching Jennie get dressed for bed. She smiled when Jennie reached into her dresser and pulled out one of Lisa's old baggy t-shirts, slipping it on and pulling the collar up to breath in her scent.

She lifted up the covers so Jennie could slip underneath with her. They settled in, Lisa’s nose in the crook of Jennie’s neck and Jennie’s fingers buried in Lisa’s hair scratching her lightly behind the ear.

A comfortable silence as they adjusted to the darkness of the room. Lisa sighed, tilting her head up to plant a kiss on the bottom of Jennie's chin.

Tomorrow was their 6 month anniversary. Lisa couldn’t believe how fast the time had passed.

Jennie had made her promise that she wouldn’t do anything extravagant for it. That it was her turn to do something nice for Lisa.

She grinned against Jennie’s skin, closing her eyes to relax into the hold. She had no idea what Jennie had planned, but as long as it involved Jennie, she was sure it was going to be perfect.

“Goodnight Nini.”

She felt a deep contented breath against her hair, “goodnight baby.”

She squinted against the morning light invading the room, reaching back behind her to pull Jennie’s arm back over her body.

Lisa frowned when her arm hit the empty mattress. She rolled over, realizing that Jennie wasn’t in bed with her. Then she heard the soft singing floating from down the hallway and smiled, pushing her fingers through her sleep mussed hair. Lisa stretched lazily before getting out of bed, pulling on the shirt and shorts that lay discarded at the end of the bed.

She padded barefoot down the hall, following the scent of cooking and the sound of singing towards the kitchen. Jennie had her back to Lisa, head down focusing on the breakfast sizzling on the stovetop.

Lisa leaned against the doorframe for a second, admiring the view of Jennie in the loose t-shirt that stopped just above her thighs, revealing the light yellow panties underneath.

Lisa grinned, tiptoeing silently forward and wrapping one hand around Jennie’s waist, the other hand going down to grab a cheek. Yellow was Lisa’s favourite color and Jennie knew it.

Lisa leaned her head over Jennie’s shoulder, pecking Jennie on the cheek, “good morning…what’re you making?”

Jennie turned her head to return the peck, “good morning baby. I’m making you breakfast in bed. Which means that you-” she pointed with the spatula in her right hand, “-need to get back into bed.”

She pouted against Jennie, both hands reaching around her waist to pull her in close, “but I wanna be out here with you.”

Jennie giggled, “If you’re good baby, then I’ll come back and join you.”

“I have something for you.”

Jennie turned and grabbed her wallet from the nightstand. She rummaged around before finally pulling something out, hiding it in her enclosed fist as she rolled back around to face Lisa.

She smiled sweetly at her, leaning in for a kiss. Lisa felt Jennie reach over and grab her hand, opening her palm and pressing a small piece of metal into it.

Lisa pulled away and looked down at her palm. It was a light pink key.

“I want you to have it. You know, so you can come over anytime you want.” She nuzzled her nose against Lisa’s, “I want you to have a drawer at my place too. You know, so you can stay over whenever you want. So some of your stuff is…some of your stuff is with me.”

Lisa closed her fist around the key, her other hand tugging Jennie on top of her,

“I love you.”

She knew the key was a symbol. It showed how much Jennie trusted her, wanted her to be in her life all the time. The key to her apartment, the drawer at her place. It all showed Lisa that Jennie was serious about this.

About her.

“I know it’s not very romantic…but-” Jennie blushed, trying to hide her face in Lisa’s hair. But Lisa held her face with her hands so that she could stare into her eyes, “I love you, Nini.”

Jennie smiled, leaning down to meet Lisa’s lips, “I love you too, Lili. I love you.”

They ordered dinner later that night. Sat on the ground in front of the couch and fed each other from paper containers with plastic utensils.

Jennie would follow every mouthful of food she offered Lisa with a peck on the lips. And when they finished, they threw the garbage into the disposal and Jennie pulled her back to the couch so they could completely ignore the movie that was playing on the screen.

There was nothing extravagant about it, but it was the most romantic dinner Lisa had ever had.

---

“I don’t think she’s a psychic, Yeri. You staring at her like that isn’t going to make her notice you. Not in the way you want, anyway.”

Yeri was staring at the waitress Joy with a look of utter and complete concentration. Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly and her mouth was set in a pursed line.

Like if she stared hard enough, she could somehow cause the girl to turn around and see her.

When the girl finally did turn away from the table she was serving, Yeri threw her hand up into the air and grinned big at her from across the restaurant.

The waitress saw and giggled a little, bowing slightly, before turning to a different table to take their orders. Yeri slumped in her seat, crossing her arms, “this isn’t working.”

Jisoo cheered a little in her seat, “does that mean we can finally go to lunch somewhere else? I’ve been eating your salads for a week straight. I think it’s starting to turn my skin a little green.”

Yeri shook her head vigorously, “no! I am not gonna give up this easily!”

Lisa sighed, shaking her head, “she is clearly not interested in you, Yeri. She probably doesn’t even remember your name.”

Yeri huffed before suddenly perking up, “wait! I’ve got it!”, and bolted from the diner before the rest of them could say another word.

“I wonder what she’s got in mind.”

“Knowing Yeri, she probably just remembered she wanted some KFC.”

“…Yahh! She didn’t pay for her food!”
