Pitch Perfect Harmony

Forever Baby

Travis dreamt of their trip to the zoo that night. Taylor, on the other hand, had to endure random flashbacks of her history with Kanye. She woke up a couple of times and ultimately gave up on sleep. Carefully, she got up and threw one of Travis' hoodies over before escaping to the balcony. The fresh air calmed her nerves a little. The last day reminded her of how quickly things could go up and down. She had a great day with her incredible boyfriend at the zoo and even the helicopters didn't phase them too much. And then there had been one text from Tree that had had her spiraling so badly that she had pushed him away. She was glad that he had come back but she thought about how often he would do that. When would he get tired of her fears taking over? Because at this point she knew it would never be over.

"Why are you up?", Travis suddenly appeared next to her. "Thoughts", she just said vaguely. "My poet is thinking too hard to sleep, I get it", he joked with a smile and pulled her to his side. She blushed knowing that he had expected a little more info. "Do you remember what we ordered for Valentine's Day?", he asked instead. Of course, she did so Taylor nodded looking up at him. "I brought the packages with me", he explained and showed her the smaller one he had taken outside. The other one wouldn't have been very fitting for the mood anyway. But now Taylor took the package and opened it carefully. "I'm so excited", she let him know making him chuckle. They both knew what they had ordered themselves but they were still stunned by the two bracelets. After looking at a thousand things they had decided on couple bracelets because they fit their history. They wouldn't wear them constantly but maybe for events. "They're so beautiful", Taylor said. "Not even worth being compared to you, my dear", Travis winked making her giggle and slap his shoulder. "Can I put it on?", she asked. "Sure", he just said, and when she took his bracelet he understood what she had meant. But of course, he just held his arm out so she could put his bracelet on. He did the same for her then.

"Forever, baby", he joked about the ring ceremony type of situation. "Forever baby", she agreed laughing a little and hugging him then. "Thank you for everything. You're not tired of my...", she started, and he immediately silenced her with a kiss. "Do you remember when I said that you're worth my time and my love?", he asked and she did remember that too, so she nodded already with an idea of why he mentioned it. "I really meant that. And helping you through some shit is part of that. If you push me away just because, I'll always come back. I'd leave if you'd give me an actual reason but... I doubt there has been one today", he explained honestly with a soft smile. He wasn't surprised anymore that she was scared to be too much or just scared of losing him in general or whatever. So many people had messed with her head and her heart. He wanted to show her that he could keep up with her. He wanted to show her that, as cruel as the world could be, he would be by her side. It was kitschy maybe but in his eyes, she was worth it.

Taylor just leaned against him and closed her eyes for a while "And the other Valentine's gift?", she remembered after a few minutes with a smirk. "That's for another day, hm? Aren't you tired?", he asked before yawning. "I remembered pretty much every night that I thought I wouldn't be making music anymore when I tried to sleep earlier. So, no. Not willing to do that again", she said. "Oh, Tay. And when I talk you to sleep? Tell you about football or whatever?", he suggested because she needed sleep. He would leave tomorrow but she had a concert to play. "Talk me to sleep? You sure you're not falling asleep before me?", she grinned at his tiny eyes. "C'mon, let's try at least, hm? You have to sleep, baby", he stayed stubborn. "Okay, tell me stories until I fall asleep, Daddy", she joked. "Urgh, don't call me that", he laughed bringing her back inside. "Not? There are people who find that to be sexy", she giggled about his face. "And I'm not one of them. Please, it's weird don't you think? What would your dad think of that, hm?", he asked with a slight grin. "Leave my family out of that", she laughed. "You started!", he gave back laughing just as loudly while pulling her back to bed.

Travis then really started to tell her stories about this and that. Unimportant stuff that she found to be interesting enough to listen to but not so interesting that she'd need to think a lot or answer. And she did fall asleep to his voice and her head was distracted enough to not mess with her again. Travis smiled when he noticed. "Good night, Allie", he whispered, then yawned, and then closed his eyes too. Taylor's alarm woke them up only a couple of hours later. She hit snooze and cuddled closer to Travis just now remembering that he had to leave today. "You should talk me to sleep more often", she mumbled. "Did it work, hm?", he assumed. Taylor nodded and kissed him. "Can I just tie you to this bed?", she asked with a grin. Travis chuckled hugging her. "We can try that someday when we have the time to, don't you think?", he giggled. Taylor blushed. "I didn't mean... I just... I don't want you to leave", she stuttered. "I know", he said hiding his face in the crook of her neck and kissing her skin.

"Maybe I tie you to this bed and we skip breakfast", he suggested letting his hands slide up her back underneath the shirt. Taylor got goosebumps and shook her head about herself. "I have to disappoint you. I need food", she said. "But maybe another time?", she added with a sweet smile. "You want me to tie you to a bed another time?", he wanted to make sure. "If you untie me afterward", she tried to sound confident but blushed a little. "Afterward, hm?", he wiggled his brows making her laugh and blush even more. "Stop it! I love you! Yes, I want you to fuck me with my hands tied someday. What about that?", she asked visibly embarrassed by his joking. "Nothing, baby. You're just cute with red cheeks", he smiled before kissing her. "But I bet you're real damn hot with your hands tied", he mumbled into her ear.

Her alarm interrupted them again, so they finally sat up. "You have to leave in two hours, don't you?", she asked while putting some clothes on. "Yeah", he sighed getting up too. She nodded and went around the bed to kiss him again. He smiled at her before they finally got ready for breakfast. Laughing about this and that they ate together and then she watched him pack his bag. "Oh, this part is for you", he handed her one part of the other Valentine's Day package. Taylor instantly blushed again and threw the vibrator he could control via an app in her bag as if she wanted to hide it. "Oh, c'mon, we ordered it together", he chuckled and came to kiss her. She just shrugged unsure about why it felt embarrassing. "We'll figure out if it works for us, hm?", he smiled. She nodded still with red cheeks. Taylor was still surprised that he had come upt with that idea. He thought about how their sex life could work despite being miles apart and that felt strange and new but she liked it. Others had asked for nudes but never spend a thought on her part. It showed that he really wanted all aspects of this to work. And she had agreed. She was a little nervous about how it would turn out but they had tried some things together before that were kinda new to her. So why not do that again?

"But for now, I have at least some time left to fill up my kiss storage", Travis closed his bag and pushed her back to bed to kiss her again and again until she giggled. Taylor just pulled him closer and they ended up making out until his phone reminded him to leave soon. Their lips were red and they didn't really want to part but they had to, so he took his bag and they finally said their goodbyes.
