L I F E (Lilia Calderu x Reader)

"Darling~" Lilia's voice woke me from my slumber. Her lips peppering kisses over my face, ending with one on my lips. "I know you're up." She laughed, kissing over my face rapidly.

I wrapped my arms around her body and flipped us over, smiling as a laugh fell from her lips. "Let's just stay in bed all day." I mumbled, looking up at her.

Her hands ran through my hair and down along my back. "Okay." She whispered, her free hand brushing against my cheek softly. I closed my eyes, basking in the feeling.

Suddenly, I remembered her confession. "Do you remember anything from last night?" I asked quietly, my eyes returning to hers. I'd she didn't, I wasn't going to mention it.

She furrowed her brows, her movements stilling. "No.." She replied, tilting her head to the side. "Did I do something embarrassing?" She asked, her eyes growing slightly.

"No, my love." I replied, feeling her body relax beneath me. "You're very cute when you're drunk though." As much as I wished she remembered the night prior, it would mean more if she confessed when she was sober.

She groaned and leaned her head back against the pillow. "Gods that makes me think I did do something, and you're just covering it up."

I chuckled, placing a hand on her chin and tilting it back down to face me. "I pinky promise you didn't do anything embarrassing last night."

"Okay, okay. I believe you." She smiled, rolling her eyes playfully. "But don't ever let me drink half a bottle of wine ever again." She warned.

"Yes ma'am." I fake saluted, earning a laugh from her. Being able to be carefree and open with someone was new. It was a strange feeling, but a good one nonetheless.
I hadn't had a connection like this before. The way I felt with Lilia, I never experienced something like that. Being in love, or falling in love. It was new, and I was loving every second of it.

I awoke to Lilia flailing around, her breath coming out in quick succession. "Lilia?" I whispered, trying to gain the woman's attention; but nothing.

"No.." I heard her whisper in a desperate plea, her body fighting off an unseen force. "Please, don't." She begged.

I tried shaking her once more. "Lilia, baby.." She didn't wake up, still being victim to whatever hell her mind conjured up. "Lilia." I said louder, shaking her by her shoulders.

She gasped. "Get off then!" She yelled, a gust of air throwing me backwards; my head banging against the closet. I watched as she sat up quickly, gasping for air.

"Ow." I whispered, my fingers moving to touch the back of my head. It was wet.. I moved my hand in front of my face, blood staining my fingers.

"Y/N.." Lilia whispered, my attention snapping to her. She saw my hand and gasped, quickly rushing to kneel beside me. "Are you okay?" She asked, grabbing and twisting my head to get a better look.

I winced as her fingers touched the wound. "I'm fine." I said, standing from the ground and going into the bathroom. "Just need to clean this." I grabbed a washcloth from near by, soaking it with water and touching the back of my head.

"Can I help?" She asked quietly, peering through the door. She looked timid, like she was scared I was going to yell or scream at her.
