you and me, together?

kiss burns

"it's no fair that you don't get to hurt her back. she hurts you all the time." haseul lightly rubbed at sooyoung's burns, disappearing as quickly as they came.

"w-what do you mean?" sooyoung shifted on her bed in pain, the alcohol was just a placebo, she already knew that. it didn't stop, the feeling that her neck was being incinerated.

"you know what i mean." haseul didn't look up to sooyoung's teary eyes from the pain, "you should get something too. someone. to hurt her back, you know?"

"oh. like..." sooyoung closed her eyes, "like a partner?"

haseul's smile grew, "you don't have to be dating anyone to... make love or whatever." she felt herself go red.

"make love?" sooyoung chuckled, opening an eye and making haseul's heart melt, "you're so cheesy. call it what it is."

"no, i like making love." haseul said assertively.

"you like making love?" sooyoung teased.

"n-no. i mean... i've never... we- i..." haseul went even redder, covering her face with hand, "um... i don't know."

"you've never?" the older girl blinked back her shock.

"uh, no." haseul shrunk into herself.

"but your soulmate has? like, once a month, right?" sooyoung raised a brow.

"yeah, i think so." haseul shrugged, not seeming to mind how sooyoung's hand was on her thigh.

"that's no fair then." sooyoung tilted her head, "let's make her jealous."

"how?" haseul asked dumbly, she knew how. she knew exactly how. she wasn't against it. she just didn't think sooyoung was so... willing? was it because her own soulmate was enjoying herself?

"like this."

and sooyoung's lips were on haseul's, soft and slow and everything haseul wanted. haseul sighed as sooyoung's hands wrapped around her waist and sooyoung's tongue shamelessly slipped into her mouth, her arms pulling her closer and laying her down on the bed.

"wait."

a small whine left haseul's mouth when sooyoung pulled away, "it's supposed to feel good. if it doesn't, we can stop. if you get uncomfortable or you don't want to anymore, we can stop. whenever you want, okay? just ask me to stop, and i will."

"okay." haseul gave her roommate a small smile, "but i'm pretty sure i won't want you to stop. having you this close is..." haseul took a deep breath, taking in sooyoung's rosy scent, "intoxicating."

"you really know how to make a girl feel special, huh?" sooyoung licked her lips.

"a girl like you deserves to feel special." haseul didn't know where she got the confidence to say it, and according to sooyoung's blushing face, she didn't either.

"i'll be gentle." sooyoung whispered into haseul's ear before going back to haseul's mouth and devouring her.

meanwhile, wong kahei was in china, twelve hours ahead of them, laying in bed reading a book, making sense of the individual words but not the full page itself, until she felt it.

as kiss burns trailed from her neck, all the way down to her stomach. she rubbed at the small droplets of pain, fading as quickly as they came. the way her friends had played them up, she thought they would hurt like hell. no, they were fine. they almost tickled.
