Comfortable (Fluff)

A/N: Takes place during the apocalypse and they're at Hidgens', enjoy!!

P. S. It's different from "silent cries" one shot I made

Emma's POV

"How am I supposed to make a Shirley Temple without any cherries?!" Bill argues throwing his arm up.

My head turns to him who looks like he's gonna lose his shit.

"Bill we are in the middle of a damn apocalypse and you're gonna get your shit down with a fucking Shirley Temple!?"

It's been like this for minutes. I haven't counted though. I've just been sitting in the corner in my own little space. I don't wanna be here right now. In this room with men who are fighting about how to make a drink. It's stupid and it's annoying. I wanna yell but I know that jack ass, Ted I think, is gonna get on my dick instead. I know if I leave I'd have nothing else to do besides run around in my own world.

"You look like you're in deep thought, you okay?" Somebody acknowledges. It was Paul sitting down next to me.

"Yea- I'm... I'm okay, I think. I don't know actually. The whole argument is just annoying me, that's all." I state.

Paul is the only one who is actually normal around here. He's the cute regular I'd make scenarios with as I work. Nora definitely knew something was going on with me whenever I saw Paul walk in. That's why I always served him. Just look at him for fuck sake!! He's gorgeous ocean blue eyes and the way he dresses. Well I've only seen him where his dark brown suit but who gives a shit! I've looked for so long that I figured his suit is dark brown. Yea I'm a creep I know but at least I don't go following him around! The only things I know about him is when we create small talk in the morning when he comes in. I've remembered it all.

"Emma? You're lost again, aren't you?" He asks rubbing my shoulders.

"Changes in life I say. It's weird. Singing aliens? It's weird!!" I lied. Well I technically didn't lie but it wasn't the thing that I was so lost about.

"Here, how bout we leave this room and go to my room- if you're comfortable though!" He affirmed. That's something you'll never hear from someone. Asking if you're comfortable or not. God this is just gonna keep getting worst, isn't it?

"You're not sharing with Ted anymore?" I ask.

"No, he's going with Charlotte. I don't even wanna know why." Paul jokes.

"Ew I have some idea!" I laugh as I hit his shoulder lightly.

Paul gets up and helps me off the ground. I look behind to see Ted and Bill still arguing. It was entraining while it lasted.

We headed off and began walking. Hidgens' place wasn't that big but to me it was big. Two floors with three bathrooms and four bedrooms. Four bedrooms but Professor Hidgens insisted that shared with someone. I don't know why cause he never provided a valid reason.

"So why are you doing this?" I ask.

He pauses but kept walking. I followed.

"Probably because Hidgens doesn't want any of us to be alone I'm guessing?" I say breaking off the short silence between us.

"Uh- y-yea that!! I don't want him to yell at me with his stuff you know. Kind of freaks me a bit." He rants has he nervously taps his hands together. That's off?

He turns to the room on the right and I follow beside him. He closes the door behind him.

One bed...?

"You don't have to sleep in here really." He suggests.

"No it's okay. I'll just be here so my professor doesn't rant about anything to you. It's hell!" I joke hitting his arm lightly.

"I don't really like being alone anyways..." I hear under his breathe.

I didn't want to point it out. However it did make my face flush. Did he want to be alone with me?
I check the time on my phone and it's late. It was around midnight and I'd probably be asleep by now. I'm already in sweatpants and a hoodie so I'm fine. Paul was in sweatpants and a shirt.

We both sat down on the bed on opposite sides.

"I can put a pillow between us if you'd like?" Paul asks.

"Hey it's okay, you don't have to! I'll be okay." I reassure.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna-"

"Paul it's okay! We're just sleeping anyways." I say before laying back down.

"Okay." He whispered softly.

After that silence over took us. I was too tired to say anything else. My eyes died down.

Time skip-

Paul's POV

I wake up only to feel that my arms were draped over Emma's waist and my head in Emma's neck. I didn't sleep like this? Did we get closer- no yeah we did. I've always had feelings for Emma. Ever since Bill introduced me to Beanies, I came every single day to see her, Emma. I only learned her name just a few days ago. However I've been coming into Beanies for about a year. I guess you can say I was too scared to ask her for her name.

Emma's arms were basically wrapped around me. I didn't wanna move cause I was enjoying the moment. At the same time I just wanted to pull her closer to me. I can't imagine myself without her. Before I met her, everyday felt the same. After I met her, everyday felt new somehow. I tried looking my best even though I wore same shit every single day.
I tug on her clothing lightly and pull myself upwards.

"What time is it?" I hear Emma mutter.

"I- Paul?"

I close my eyes quickly so she didn't find that I'm awake. Shit! Paul think!! I fake waking up and pull myself rubbing eyes.

"I don't even know. Sorry I got closer I move a lot when I sleep." Partly not a lie, but hey we're doing great.

"Nah it's okay, I didn't really mind it at all actually." She replied looking over to me smiling.

I pause for a moment to take in what she said. I wanted to show her I felt. If she didn't mind that whole cuddling thing does she maybe- no Paul she probably didn't really care about it. She just doesn't like you that way. Friends can cuddle too. That's where I stop myself. I want to be more than friends.

"You okay?" She asks interrupting my disruptive thoughts.

"Y-yea just stuff."

"Can we talk about something real quick Paul?" Emma asks turning her body towards me. I do the same thing.

"Sure anything." I replied. Holy shit does she feel the same way?!

"Ever since I saw you at Beanies for the first time- it's just- gosh how do I explain this. You know what I like you- fuck it i love you Paul."

As soon as she said that it was like everything around me turned fake. It was only her that I focused on. No thought, no nothing. Just her in my mind.

"Can I- kiss you?" I stuttered.

She quickly pulls me in by the neck of my shirt. Gosh it was as if the world was spinning all around me. My hands traveled to her waist and squeezed her hips. I break away but still keep our faces close to each other.

"I've been waiting so long for this Emma. I always came into Beanies for you. I love you."

I pulled her closer and our bodies brushed up against each other.

"We can just chill here all day. Besides it's apocalypse, who's gonna care?" Emma said while smiling beside me.

We leaned our foreheads together and panted. I rubbed her hips softly.

"So are we like more than friends?" I ask awkwardly.

"Paul are you stupid? After that whole thing you ask that! Of course we are now!"
