WALLFLOWER // B.E

when i woke up, i immediately froze up. i was laying on my side. i glanced down, and i saw that billie's arm was draped over me, pulling my back into her front.

why did i have a feeling that she wouldn't stay on her side of the bed?

i hesitated for a few seconds. i grabbed her hand, and i tried to move her arm off of me.

"yo, stop," billie grumbled sleepily. she interlaced our fingers, and she pulled me closer. she let our hands rest against my stomach.

"billie. roll over," i muttered as i let go of her hand and tried to push her back.

"but you're so warm," she whined.

"and you're cold! go."

"yeah, i'm cold, so cuddle me, and warm me up," she pouted.

"no, roll over!" i huffed.

she let out a small "hmph," then rolled over. she brought the covers with her.

she kept stealing the covers all night! i woke up, like, three different times because i was completely uncovered.

though, now that i think about it... she stopped stealing them once she cuddled up with me.

i sat up, and i leaned against the headboard. i rubbed at my face as i yawned. i glanced over at billie; she had already fallen back asleep.

i reached over, and i grabbed my phone off of my nightstand. i scrolled through my notifications, which were mainly from youtube, tiktok, pinterest, and games.

at some point, archer sleepily trudged his way into my room, like he does every saturday and sunday, or any other day that i don't have school.

i opened my arms for him, and i helped him onto the bed. he sat in my lap, and he cuddled up with me. i held him close as i threaded my hand through his hair.

billie rolled back over not long after, and i glanced over to see that she was awake now. her brows furrowed briefly as she looked between me and archer.

"so, you'll cuddle with him, but not me?" she gave a faux pout.

"um... yeah."

archer looked over at billie. "you want cuddles?"

she nodded.

"i'll give you cuddles!" he offered.

my jaw dropped as he moved from my lap to lay beside billie. he cuddled up with her, and she grinned. she looked to me, and she stuck her tongue out at me. i narrowed my eyes.

"he still likes me cuddles better," i shrugged.

"really?" she raised a brow. "archie, who's cuddles do you like more? mine or juniper's?"

"junie's! she's so warm! like a heater," he giggled.

"you know, i can't even argue with that. she is really warm," billie nodded. "which is all the more reason for her to cuddle me."
