Vi was sitting on your couch while watching TV. Legs on the table and her top slightly pulled up, showing her abs while scratching her stomach. An "Oof" came out of her mouth as she patted her stomach.
"Pff, you okay?" you chuckled turning to look over the counter of your kitchen, a plate and a towel in your hand.
She peeked over her shoulder to take a glance at you before shifting her eyes back onto the TV screen.
"Just feeling - uhhh- full after that much food" she curtly said, eyebrows slightly furrowing as she clicked her tounge.
"Was it good?" you asked her as you put a plate into one of your cupboards.
"Yeah yeah, was good" she absentmindedly threw up a thumbs up, not looking back this time.
It had become a habit of you both to use a thumbs up or down for good or bad and was one of the first things you had agreed to use to talk to each other.
She was randomly switching through the channels, searching for something interesting that she could watch and wouldn't have to struggle too much with deciphering what they were saying.
It had been some months since she had landed into this world. The beginning was pretty rocky and stressful.
It had taken a while until the both of you had gotten used to each other. She herself had to tone down a lot of her fighting instincts and her brashness. Pretty much her tendency to get impatient and all that.
She wasn't one to get violent against someone, who couldn't fight back and didn't mean any harm but she was the type who would definitely get loud when they're riled up.
Unfortunately was it you who had gotten yelled at by her during an argument and frankly, you were whaling after that due to bad experiences associated with yelling.
So she basically had to get her shit together to make this work.
Well, it was just really frustrating to be somewhere you didn't know shit about and she quickly learned that she had to let herself trust you.
Nowadays, there hasnt been a single moment where she hadn't been thankful towards you since you were literally turning everything upside down to make her feel comfortable.
You gave her a roof, new clothes, three meals a day, would take the time to teach her your language bit by bit and she'd teach you some of hers in exchange.
Not to mention that she had started to stare at you more often with a strange tingly feeling welling up in her chest a month ago.
Whenever she'd catch herself doing that, she would distract herself with her phone or go outside for a jog.
Or just look anywhere else but you.
Yes, you even bought her own phone and it was mentally challenging to explain to her how the wonders of a phone worked with hand gestures and roughly thrown in words buuut it somehow worked.
And today the two of you were living through a lazy rainy day, completely comfortable with each other.
Vi's thumb continued to press the button as she mindlessly browsed through the channels.
Putting the last dish into the cupboard, you heard a small "wow" escape from her lips.
Raising an eyebrow, you layed the towel next to the sink and made your way towards the couch.
You stood behind her as you put your hands onto the couch, leaning slightly forward and moving your eyes onto the screen.
It was a documentary about the mountain animals.
