ACT 75 | COULD WE BE REAL?

"Before I knew I was obsessed with her grey eyes, blonde hair, pink lips, that damn fucking smile, that black attire she wears... All of her... I fucking love her.."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━ × ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It was a sluggish morning for both of them after their usual friday/saturday movie night... Unlike their usual one night-one movie rule, they watched an entire trilogy of movies cause she found them intriguing..The storyline was unique and gave a deep insight of the character's mind and relations and for the first time she found a romance movie to her liking...

Nor too cliche, nor too obsessive like those mafia books, nor too faraway, nor the oh so cliche toxic relationship.. Honestly what is obsession of teens with toxic relations.. If you want a toxic relation then just poison your partner's tea...

Despite being half awaked and knowing he was embracing her, he didn't wanted to let her go.. The morning sun peered down the windows as he saw shadow of the plant she had on the window fall in front of them...

He didn't knew how he ended up embracing her.. Nor he wanted to know how much uncomfortable he made her feel during the whole night but it felt peaceful.. She felt peaceful and he felt calmed down by her presence next to her... Ash was used to waking up alone, following a shitty plan but right now, her being in his embrace made it a little better for him to cope with the shittyness of his life...

Her soft breathing was the only sound aside from the chirping of starly and staravia who liked the calmness of the morning too... His arm draped over her as if his most prized posession... She was indeed... His blurry vision slowly cleared as he looked into her blonde hair as she laid to the opposite side of where he faced... With her whole body weight onto his arms, his right arm felt completely numb...

But despite all this numbness after a little motion, he felt her fingers intertwined with his... The same hand she held to comfort him last night when he was having a nightmare even he was unaware of... Do close friends did it? No they didn't and Ash knew it...

He never shared his bed, ever in his whole life with anyone... Much less a girl.. He even slept under the stars to let Calem and Serena have the whole tent t themselves so they could be comfortable on thier camp years ago but here he was... But the feeling he was having was peaceful and loving...

She lightly moved unaware of him unconsiously leaning even closer to him.. The small gesture made him freeze lightly... Embarrassment, he didn't knew, he wasn't too familiar with the feeling.. His warm breath didn't tickled her neck like it usually did seeing she was deep into slumber... Good thing it was Sunday..

Maybe both of them could laze around in her apartment or go out for the summer shopping... She wouldn't mind it and he knew but weren't they too dependant on each other.. He hadn't seen it much but he had seen it.. At least with Red and Yellow... They depend on each other blindly like they were...

But they were a couple, alas Ash and Cynthia weren't... He wondered a lot as he slowly begun to pull away knowing she will wake up from all the movement he was causing... She slipped off his arm as he slowly pulled himself out of the covers and leaned against the wall with his right arm close to himself...

He was sure he didn't felt those impulses only or was it just his mind... Finding themselves awkwardly staring into each others eyes was something that both grew accustomed to at a point... She would usually brush it off saying how proportionate his face looked and shit to distract him but he couldn't say it... Being scared was a reason for it and knowing what they were in front of the society was even more scary...

Maybe she wanted it too... Maybe both of them unconsiously wanted it... The soft morning sunshine was turning into harsh one, it made him glance at the clock... 8:17.. None of them slept till this late.. 3 or 4 in morning at most for him after he met her...
