Aphrodite's Spell

Endless Sunshine

If Nayeon is in love with Mina, her mother is absolutely enchanted by her. She smiles adoringly whenever the younger girl talks, listens with rapt attention to every word she says and Nayeon is ridiculously, absurdly, a little jealous of her own mother.

Bored with nothing to do, except being a third wheel to their conversation, she lets her gaze linger on Mina. The house smells of positively delicious food and it's not that that has her salivating like a hungry animal, it's the deep cut dress the younger girl has chosen to wear for this occasion that has her drooling.

"Darling, when you're done ogling your girlfriend, can you get the dessert from the refrigerator?"

Her mother's amused voice snaps her back to the present. She's sure her face is bright red as she turns her head away from the direction of Mina and mutters about awful parents under her breath.

When they finally leave- after her mother has managed to embarrass her even more by showing every ugly pictures (Mina and her mother team up and call the pictures precious) she's ever taken, recalled stories from her childhood that she has wanted to take to her grave- Nayeon isn't sure if Mina would even want her after this, let alone love.

But as soon as they're out of her mother's sight, safely in the privacy of her car, Mina presses her lips to hers and kisses her softly, slowly, whispers against her mouth, "You're adorable," Nayeon feels an immense sense of relief.

Mina thinks she's adorable, after seeing pictures of her snot covered face, missing teeth and mismatched clothes.

( And for a brief moment she can imagine the younger girl looking at her with same look of affection when she has grayed hair, wrinkled skin and wobbly feet. )

"You must love me madly to think that is adorable." She jokes, trying to lighten the moment.

"I do." Mina smiles at her, happy and soft and Nayeon's heart stops working for a brief moment. "Love you madly, that is."

"We're playing never have I ever." Jeongyeon announces to the members, eyes narrowing at Nayeon who has Mina pulled fully into her lap, a hand absent mindedly tracing the younger girl's hipbone under her sweatshirt. "And also Hands where I can see them."

She scoffs, but makes no attempt to remove her hand from the comfortable spot it has found. It's not her fault Chaeyoung's living room is freezing and Mina is so so warm and touchable.

She only retracts the offending (to Jeongyeon) appendage, when she feels Mina tense under her palm. She wonders if she's made the younger girl uncomfortable with her overt display of affection.

"Nayeonnie, are you going to take the shot?"

Oh, so there was a question. Honestly, she hasn't been paying much attention to the game. She's been busy staring at Mina's side profile and wondering how someone can look so gorgeous all the time, from all angles.

"What was the question Tzuyu?"

"Never have I ever had a sex dream about a member."

Sana takes a shot. So does Jihyo.

She hums distractedly and doesn't take a shot. She barely remembers her dreams, and she's not sure daydreaming about having sex with her girlfriend qualifies for the question.

The younger girl is awfully still in her arms and Nayeon worries if she should stop touching her.

But to her complete and utter surprise, Mina reaches for the glass of water she's using for the game and takes a swig from it.

A round of sniggers is heard around the room.

Nayeon swallows hard. She doesn't have to ask. She isn't the kind to assume anything, but deep down she knows who she must have dreamt about.

(The way Mina avoids her eyes tells her more than enough).

She manages to corner Mina in the kitchen after the younger girl keeps her distance for the rest of the night. She grabs her by her waist, pushes her gently against the fridge and hugs her, chin dropping heavy to her shoulder, nose nuzzling in the hollow of her throat.

"What was I doing in the dream?"

Mina tries weakly to shove her away with a hand to her chest. "You? How presumptuous."

She catches her hand easily in hers, laces their fingers together and pins it above her head. "Was I good?" She hums against her throat, nipping the skin lightly.

"Yes." Mina admits, cheeks flaming.

"See. That wasn't hard, was it?" She drops a wet kiss to the sensitive spot beneath her ear, "Tell me what happened in your dream."

"I- I can't." She hears the younger girl breathing stutter. "You'd think I'm weird. Dreaming about you like that when you only saw me as a friend."

"Baby, you can't control your dreams." She nudges her nose against Mina's jaw, making her draw a lungful of shaky breath.

"We were watching H-handmaiden in our dorm." She slides her hands up Mina's back, scratches the heated skin there and revels in the effect it has on her. "Then I went to sleep. Had a dream."

Handmaiden? Interesting. An intense film would have resulted in an intense dream. She lets her thumb inch under a lacy bra and squeeze the underside of Mina's shoulder blades. "Tell me more."

"You h-had me bent over a desk." The younger girl's fingers wrap themselves around her arm, digging into the flesh deliciously. "Hands curled in my hair while you were pounding into me w-with.."

Both hands occupied in her hair? Oh. Nayeon lifts her face up from the crook of her neck, and gazes at Mina. Mina, who with her flushed skin, parted lips, blown pupils looking more beautiful than any work of art she's ever seen. "A strap on." She finishes for her, grinning roguishly.

(And when Mina shoves her away this time with both hands to her chest, muttering asshole she stumbles a little, but falls in love a lot more. )
