Oneshot #23

This is heavily based on the teddy bear trilogy on a03, yellowlabatary u r a fkin godsent to this fandom.

Him
I felt ashamed having her here, this place looks like shit, there's nothing to eat and barley anything to drink except maybe a few beers. She was sitting on the couch when I finally settled down next to her, my eyes locked on her face to tell me that this place sucked

"I'm really sorry, place has definitely seen better days"

"hey, it's okay. Any place is better then being stuck alone with my parents"

Placing her hand on my thigh, giving a small but appreciated smile

"you hungry or anything?"

"no I'm good, are you?"

"nah"

"kinda hard to be hungry after.."

She doesn't need to finish her sentence, already knowing she was referring to everything we've been through in the last couple hours

"got that right"

The gaze focuses on me, moving her hand from my thigh to around my back, giving me a slight hug

"I know it's not really the greatest time to be saying this but, thank you. Thank you for the whole breaking me out thing"

"Anytime is fine for you to talk about what happened, we've all been through a lot but I think we can all agree that you've been through hell. If you- want to talk about it, I'm here, and if you aren't I'm not going anywhere"

I wrap my arm around her, pulling her in closer to me, hesitating before giving her repeated kisses to the crown of her head. I'm not the best at affection, but I try anyway, her always being the one to comfort me

"Thank you Jayj"

Feeling her presence become closer, her breaths against my face send a shiver down my spine. I still wasn't used to being able to be this close to her, my instincts telling me to move away, but I don't.

Her
I take one last breath, closing my eyes before I lean in and kiss him. This only being our second time kissing, it's a little more slower then our first, being alone this time to just grasp what was happening. We stay like this for a while before I slip my hand in his hair, racking through it as my other hand cups his face. Carefully laying us back onto the couch, his hands slides down my waist to my hips giving the smallest pressure to them with his fingers as he begins to pull back. My eyes flutter open as we both struggle to get air

"I shouldn't have done all that- we're still- fuck I'm sorry"

"Why?"

"You're still processing everything that happened and I'm taking advantage of you"

I look up at him straight in the eyes, not meeting mine

"No? I mean yeah, I'm still processing, but that doesn't mean I don't want to kiss you"

Sitting up, holding his hand

"If I didn't want to do something, you would know, trust me. I know this is still- weird and everything but, I want you to kiss me"

"Not a bad weird though, right?"

I laugh, using my quote

"Yeah, not a bad weird"
"Okay"

"I'm tired"

"You can take my bed, I'll take the couch"

I don't want to sleep alone, but it sounds so stupid, trying to just go along with it

"Thanks"

"Here, let me try to find you something to wear"

He gets up, following closely behind him as he pulls open a tiny drawer out of the dresser, digging through a pile of t-shirts before picking a plain black one

"I'll turn around"

Turning around to face the wall, I slip out of my crop top and bra, getting into the top that is extremely oversized

"I don't usually sleep with a bra on"

"I don't care, just want you to be comfortable"

"Yeah, and is it okay if I-"

"This is your house, do whatever you want"

"Thank you"

I take my shorts off, tapping his shoulder to let him know I was done, turning around to face me

"Looks better on you"

"Think so?"

"Know so"

He swallows hard, watching his throat sink in as he leans in and kisses me, pulling me closer to him. I don't ever want it to stop, but tired, I pull back

"Lights off?"

"Yeah, please"

Him
I give her a quick kiss to the cheek, trying to get the words out before they just slip out

"I love you Kie, sleep well"

"I love you too JJ, same for you, and thank you again"

"You're welcome"

I turn the lights off, closing the door slightly over, coming to sit down on the couch. I hear my phone go off, checking it

P4L🤞🏽🧡

Sarah: You guys okay?

Yeah, got Kie to sleep

Sarah: Good

Cleo: We're good over here, wbu

Sarah: Idek
Sarah: Living Ig

Kie❤ Is typing...

I don't let myself see the message, getting up to go to the room

"Jay"

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

"I don't want to sleep alone"

"Okay"

"Can you sleep with me"

Normally I would have made a joke with the way she phrased that, but it doesn't even cross my mind. I immediately crawl in next to her, it's a small bed but the both of us fit for the most part. I'm behind her hugging her, our legs are intertwined with my face close to her neck

"Better?"

"Yeah, night Jay"

"Night Kie"

"Love you"

"Love you too"

Melia/Serenity talks:
Hey. I don't usually write long big things like this at the end of my books, but I'm really realizing that this is hard. I don't know what I am going to do, but this isn't going to work anymore. My grandma is moving in with us and is currently in the works of being tested for dementia/alzheimer's. I've just started high school as of last week and the homework is already starting, meaning less and less time to write and get ideas for writing. This is EXTREMELY overwhelming and I seriously want to be able to do what I love, but my life is starting to consume me. I know you guys love this, and I do, but updates are going to be very. Very. Slow. I promised myself I wouldn't ever do what I did with my pervious books, which was discontinue them and continuously lie to you guys saying that the books were going to be updated, but in order for me to keep this promise I need to take time off. Right now my first semester lasts till February 1st, if you guys can bare with the slow updates just until then, I would really appreciate that. That will give me time to do my main courses which are Math, Tech and Science, leaving me only with French to do next semester. I love all of you so much and I'm truly so sorry that I can't be a constant writer to all of you, It's my dream too, but I can't right now. Besides all that, I hope you guys enjoyed this oneshot as much as I loved writing it! Ily all and PEACE!
