Spark In The Night

Heading Home

Neon P.O.V

Hazel stares at me at what I've just said "I- what?" I swallow hard "Hazel, I, I want to have sex with you." Hazel looks me up and down and gives me an odd look, "did you hit your head or-" I huff rolling my eyes.

"Oh you are uh actually serious" I look at her in the eyes with the most serious look I can give her and her face turns slightly red. "I uh okay uh-" she gets interrupted mid sentence by music blaring and soon enough the opener comes out and Hazel is full focus on the stage.

I watch as Hazel grabs the railing and shouts with the rest of the crowd. Once they start Hazel is gone. She's jumping up and down and what I think is singing along, and Hazel was right. It's loud even with the ear plugs but if Hazel is having fun then I don't mind.

After a while we're both getting tired but Hazel is still going she grabs a hold of me and pulls me in for an embrace "Tala, this is the most amazing birthday I've ever had. Thank you" We stay like this for a while until we focus back on the stage.

~~few hours later~~

It's been a few hours and things are wrapping up, me and Hazel are walking hand in hand heading back to the car and Hazel is yawning. "You want to rest while I drive home?" Hazel makes a sound and I take that as a yes so I open the door for her and buckle her in shutting the door.

I get in on my side and turn the key and lean over to tell Hazel something but she's already out. Her breathing is rhythmatic and calming to listen to, her mouth is slightly open and I hold back a chuckle and start pulling out of the parking spot.

The ride home is pretty calm, not much traffic once we got out of the range of the concert and I pull into my driveway and debate for a few minutes how to wake up Hazel. I'm watching her and she's so cute sleeping, I hear her mumbling something and I can't help a grin that makes its way on my face.

I sigh getting a message from Sunwoo saying it's ready so I gently shake Hazel awake and it's takes a few shakes but I eventually see her eyes flutter open. "Hey sleepy head, we're back at my place" Hazel groans and looks at me giving me a yawn.

I chuckle seeing her waking up lazily and I get out and head over to her door letting her out and closing it behind her. She stretches after getting out and I watch her do so and right at the end of her stretch, there's a small squeak.

Her face flushes pink and she covers her mouth looking embarrassed, I laugh at her reaction and she swats me on the arm. "Quit laughing" I snort and grab her hand walking her up to the house and I unlock the door letting her in first.

I shut the door behind me and it's quiet, to quiet. I walk into the kitchen with Hazel in tow and there stands Ling and Sunwoo. "Happy Birthday Hazel!" Hazel jumps a little and looks in front of her and it's a two tier cake, with little cats sitting on it.

Hazel looks between the three of us and looks at me "I- huh- how-" I just give her a grin "these two were working the whole time while we were at the concert to make the cake perfect. Also, look carefully at it." She does so and after a second of looking, gasps.

"It looks just like them..." She trails off looking at the small cats on the cake and wraps me in a tight hug. I wrap my arms around her and nuzzle into her and I hear her whisper "Tala, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met. Thank you."

We pull away from each other and I look at the other two women in the room, "what's uh, all over you two?" Sunwoo suppresses a laugh and Ling rolls her eyes "this one thought it would be smart to take a fist full of flour and throw it at me."

I nod slowly "so that explains you, what happened to you Sunwoo?" And that's when she lost it. She busted out laughing, I look to Ling and she explains "I told her not to roll out the fondant with it so close to the edge and she didn't listen, so I put flour on the board Sunwoo was using."

Sunwoo catches her breath and finishes Ling's sentence "I put down the rolling pin and tried to roll out the fondant and the board flung up and the flour flies up and covers me." I laugh at this and Ling hands Hazel a knife, "would you like to cut the cake?"

Hazel grins and starts cutting slices for the each of us and once we all get our slices we all sit down together in the living room. "So how has it been going with your healing shop?" I turn to Ling and she swallows her bite before she answers.

"One of my regulars came in, she came to get my special for her sister." Ling states with a hint of sadness to her tone but she brushes it off bringing up her own question. "how was the concert?" I turn to Hazel and she's hiding a grin.

"I went well we had a great time" Sunwoo snorts "Damn Tala just a little over a month ago you refused to do anything fun with your life and now here we are." I roll my eyes flicking her off and intertwining mine and Hazel's fingers together giving her hand a squeeze.

She gives me a side eyed look and she takes my plate "well it's been fun and it's getting late, I should go grab my things to get going." She stands and heads to the kitchen giving me a look as she walks. I also get up and wave to Sunwoo and Ling telling them to have a good night and I head upstairs.

I start cleaning up Nightmare's things and of course playing with her as Hazel walks in "hey you" I look up at her and grin and give her a wave "you packing things up already?" I stand giving her a questioning look.

Apparently that's all she needed. All it takes is a blink and I'm up against the wall with Hazel in front of me. "Tala, what you said earlier tonight hasn't left my mind. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. So, Tala, are you comfortable and ready to do this?"
