After a long, and chilly, walk home for Leah and Niamh, they eventually made it to Leah's family house. By the end of the walk, they were clinging onto one another just to simply keep warm but, their stomach's were both swirling with emotion due to how close they really were. Despite Niamh's state, she still felt those damn butterflies like a smack in the face and, after the night she'd had, she really didn't know whether she wanted to cradle the butterflies or stamp on their heads.

Soon enough, Niamh was leant on Leah's front door as Leah scrambled for her house key in her bag which she'd luckily packed in case of an emergency.

"If you lean on the door when I open it, you're gonna fall through Niamh." Leah spoke, gently moving Niamh's curled locks from her sleepy face.

She just hummed in response and fell into Leah's frame once more as she, practically, carried Niamh in. Leah attempted to shut the door and help her in, as quietly as possible but failed as she noticed her brother coming down the stairs.

"What are you doing up? It's..." She paused as she checked her watch, "3:30?"

"Xbox." Jacob replied sleepily, yawning as he continued down the stairs to get a glass of milk from the kitchen. As he did so, he noticed Niamh cuddled into his sister's side with Leah's arm slung around her and he raised his eyebrows, playfully, at Leah.

"Don't even mention it. She's just had a little to drink and it was too far to walk to her house, okay?" Leah responded to her brother's action.

"I didn't even say anything." Jacob whispered smugly, raising his hands innocently as he made his way back upstairs.

Leah followed him up, Niamh still cradled into her side as her eyes began to flutter shut. Leah couldn't contain the smile that plastered on her face as she saw Niamh so peaceful. However, it soon faded as she realised that the spare room had been taken up by boxes from attic and cellar in order to decorate the hallway.

Exhaling in defeat, Leah continued helping Niamh up the stairs as Leah held her shoes for her, in her free hand. As they reached the top, Leah placed her hands on Niamh's waist as she directed her to her bedroom in which stood in front of them. As Niamh stumbled into the room, she tripped over her own feet and began to fall backwards until Leah managed to catch her in her arms.

"Hi." Niamh cooed to Leah, playfully, as Leah looked down on Niamh in her arms as she giggled and walked over to the bed. She struggled to get her outfit off until she remembered it had a zip up the back of her corset and realised Leah would have to take it off for her. Turning round, Leah's cold fingertips pressed against her skin as she held her hair to the side, out of the way. Before Leah began to unzip, she moved her head round to face Niamh's,

"Can I?" She asked gently, and Niamh just nodded her head wearily in response.

Leah unzipped Niamh's bodysuit, leaving her in her leather pants, her white bralet and Leah's blazer still drooped across her shoulders. As Leah was thinking on how to get Niamh undressed, respectfully, she felt a hand underneath her chin, moving to stroke her cheek,

"It's alright, Leah. J-just do what-whatever you have to do to get me out of this fucking leather." Niamh breathed out, locking eyes with Leah's blue pools.
