Tequila & Birdcages

First "I love you" (multi-character)

Billie Dean Howard

You and Billie have been dating for a few months and the experience has been very different for both of you. The medium has never met someone quite as soft as you are, maybe it's not even softness more of an easy-going or down to earth vibe. You, on the other hand, have never been in any form of a relationship with someone as luxurious and frankly fancy as Billie.

Needless to say, you both thought at first that the other was intriguing in some way. From the very first moment you were drawn together like magnets. Some would say love at first sight but you two think of it as more a dive into uncharted waters. Both wanting, almost needing, to see the similarities in each other. It wasn't hard for you two to find them and it only brought you closer, eventually becoming more than friends.

"Baby?"

You look up from your position, your head on her chest, eyes previously focused on the big bright screen in front of you two. This was a weekly night you had where you either watched a show you'd been binging together or some random movie you would both rate afterwards.

"Yes?"

She only stares at you for a moment, her mind full of things to say and yet none of them feel quite right. She is often at a loss for words when it comes to you which at the beginning terrified her; Billie is known to talk a lot so it was a bit weird. Then, as the days progressed, she found a certain comfort in letting her eyes say it for her.

"You're so pretty"

You blush almost instantly, always loving the unexpected compliments the blonde will give you. You were once flossing and she wrapped her arms around your waist, placing a kiss on your neck, just wanting to be close to you. She complimented your smile which made your lips actually turn up from their previously lax form.

"Thank you... you're pretty too"

"I love you"

It's quick, like a reflex of guarding your face when something flies towards you. Yet, at the same time, she says it so comfortably as if she's said it to you all her life. It takes you a second, a few quick blinks, before you're able to actually respond.

"Huh?"

Billie takes a deep breath, pushing aside her anxiety and trusting that this is right. She's been wanting to say it for over two weeks now but was telling herself to wait for the moment. Apparently this is said moment and she knows you heard her, despite your response, so she can't take it back even if she wanted to.

"I love you..."

You stare at her, a smile slowly creeping in your face until it's as wide as it will go. As a natural reaction after seeing you grin, she starts to as well.

"I love you too"

It comes out as a giddy giggle, you almost can't finish the words. It feels surreal to be here with her no matter how much time you spend together. She blushes intensely, her arms wrapping tighter around you for support. It's not like she could fall, since you're both seated, but her body feels like jelly and having you close makes her feel all toasty inside. She places a kiss on your forehead and you continue watching the movie, a comfortable silence prevailing.

Lana Winters

It's a classic summer day and Lana suggested you go out for a picnic. Now, nature is beautiful, but the idea of being cooked in the sun is not. Still, Lana somehow convinced you to sit out in the heat with her and it's actually been enjoyable so far. She picked a nice spot with a relatively cool breeze so the heat is bearable. She was also sweet enough to apply your sunscreen for you so neither of you had to worry about that.
