i know you so well - ymir x historia

C8 P2 - cause i had a view of you

...cause i had a view of you

ymir stood tall behind historia as she unlocked the front door, praying to god her parents weren't around. she didn't want ymir to have to go through that stress on the first day she comes over.

and thankfully, as they walked inside, the lights were all off and not a sound could be heard. ymir busied herself with self-doubting thoughts. there was no way historia would ever like her back. and she knew seeing her room would be confirmation.

you can tell if someone likes girls by their room.

they walked up the stairs as ymir pointed to pictures of younger historia, snickering as the other swatted at her to stop.

"these pictures are-"

"hey ymir," she opened her mouth again as if she was going to say something else.

ymir awaited a response, but nothing came. they were stopped at the top of the stairs.

"yeah?"

"i just needed a break from your slander-"

"WHAT...they're cute-"

"you said, 'haha you look like a rat in this.' bruh..."

they stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.

"yeah, a cute rat. duh."

historia sighed and turned back around as ymir followed from the stairs. when she opened the door to her bedroom, ymir's eyes widened as she focused on the details.

it was unsurprisingly, calmly colorful, pastels popping in the mostly white room. posters were neatly taped on the walls and stuffed animals littered the bed.

ymir fixated on a specific poster before pointing to it, "historia..." the other shut the door and turned around to see. "is there something you wanna to tell me?" the two laughed because the show on the poster would never be watched by someone who wasn't queer. the insinuation broke the tension from the scenery switch.

but even though her room wasn't confirmation that she was straight, ymir's head soon filled with doubtful thoughts again. historia sat on the edge of her bed as ymir awkwardly stood next to it.

historia wondered why she was suddenly being so weird. was this because...she was having second thoughts? did she not even like her in the first place?

"what's wrong?" historia felt her head tilt as she asked the question.

ymir was deep in thought, her head turned to face the other. "hmm?"

"you're not sitting down..." her brows furrowed and she gripped the edge of the bed, worried she made the atmosphere worse.

"OH i wasn't sure if-"

"of course you can sit, dummy."

"i never would've expected a capricorn's room to look like this," ymir scanned the room once more, taking in the specifics to get to know her better. "but a libra moon's? yeah this makes sense."

"it's cute that you like that stuff. i never would've taken you for the kind." ymir felt her stomach flutter and face burn. but as she spoke, it was as if she wasn't nervous at all.

"there's a lot you don't know about me, huh?" ymir crossed her legs, unintentionally letting them face historia.

"i plan on getting to know you better, though."

"i've already learned so much about you from those pictures, but..." ymir was really hesitant to ask this, but it wouldn't hurt. would it? "you're gay, right?"
