Week 2 of quarantine

Ivy was lying on her sofa reading a book with peanut curled up next to her when Kit flopped down on her legs. "Oh my god you're heavy, get off" she shoved him into the space next to her.

"Afternoon Vee"

"Yeah whatever"

"It's our last day of quarantine, we should do something super fun". Kit smiled.

Ivy closed her book, turning to face Kit "like what?" She asked.

"We could get drunk and have an end of lockdown party?"

"Yes let's do that" she immediately made a sprint for the kitchen in search of her secret alcohol stash. She unlocked a cupboard to reveal vodka, wine, gin and other various drinks. "We've got gin, vodka, and wine what are you in the mood for?" She asked with the top half of her body in the cupboard.

"Hmm, all of it?" He suggested

"Good choice" she walked back over placing the bottles over the table. "This is gonna be fun" she beamed.

Two hours later the two teenagers were drunk out of their minds. They were currently lying on the living room floor discussing what animal they'd rather live as.

"You know honestly I'd love to be starfish" Ivy mumbled.

"Why?"

"Because they just lie there all day and have no stress or worry".

Kit looked over at Ivy in despair "Vee, how long have you been feeling like that?"

"Pretty much my whole life, I've been singing, dancing and acting since I was three it's all I've ever known. I've been stuck in my dad's shadows my whole life so I've had to perfect, straight as a line." A single tear fell from her eye. "I'm so tired".

Kit held her hand "Vee why didn't you tell me this?"

"It doesn't matter" she wiped her tears and took another swig of her drink. "This isn't meant to be a sad occasion, talk to me about when we're sober?"

"Fine, this isn't over" he pointed

" I don't doubt it" she put her head on his shoulder. "You're really pretty" she whispered.

Kit let a small laugh "you think so?"

"Oh I know so" she giggled.

"You're very beautiful too Ivy Hiddleston" he whispered back looking at the side of her face. Her ginger hair was laid out around her face, her cheeks were a light pink and her pupils were slightly dilated. Ivy and Kit slowly moved toward each other. Their foreheads touched.

"Wait" Ivy whispered.

"What? Did I do something wrong?"

"No no of course not but I want to kiss you sober. I want to remember this" she whispered.

Kit nodded "I'll count the minutes until then my love".

Ivy and Kit fell asleep on the floor in each other's arms. Smiles permanent on their faces.
