Silent Daydreams - Kaylor oneshots

Kollege Kid

[a/n: In honor of Karlie's first day at NYU! It's a bit long because just the thought of this particular topic gives me a lot of feels 😊]

"Babe? Where are you? Let's go to sleep already, I don't want you being late on your first day," Taylor calls out as she walks down the hall leading to her apartment's master bedroom.

She peeks her head in, yet Karlie is nowhere to be found; resuming her search into every spare bedroom she has, "Karlie?"

Taylor knocks and gently pushes against the partly opened door to what people know as 'Karlie's Room', although the model doesn't sleep in or use it much, "Hey baby, are you okay? watcha'doin?"

Karlie is seated at the foot of her bed, hunched over her laptop with a worried look on her face, "Wha- oh! Hi babe," she quickly flashes Taylor her thousand-watt sunshine smile.

"It's nothing, just getting my class schedule into my phone so I don't forget," she sighs, beginning to shut off the laptop and putting away her things, "I'll come to bed in a bit, okay?"

Karlie smiles up at her but Taylor knows she isn't telling the truth; she was bad at lying, as her little expressions and tripping over words would give her away.

Aww she really is nervous!! Taylor rarely saw this side of Karlie as the model always had an aura of complete confidence around her, unlike Taylor who was always known as the worrier between the two of them, I think I know just the thing to ease her nerves.

"I'll be right back, babe!" she smiles at Karlie before running out of the room and leaving the model confused.

Whoo, you got this. Just relax, Karlie takes a breath and closes her eyes, This is the real thing. You're finally on your way to getting that diploma!

She sorts through her papers and picks out which bag she'll be bringing the next day, stuffing the things she'll be needing into it. Not realizing Taylor had already re-entered the room.

"Turn around, I have a surprise!", Karlie feels a pair of thin arms wrap around her waist and soft kisses running the length of her neck and does as she's told, grabbing hold of Taylor's hand as she does.

On the bed lay a tray filled with some of the things that could cheer her up instantly in any situation: a cup of hot cocoa as well as some milk and cookies.

"Aww baby, I love it! Thank you."

She squeezes Taylor's hand in hers before pulling her close and planting a kiss on her lips, hoping it could say just how much she appreciated the gesture.

They break apart after the kiss but Taylor holds on to Karlie tightly and whispers into her ear, "You're welcome, baby. I'm so proud of you and I know you'll have an amazing day at school tomorrow."

Shoot, it's one in the morning!, Karlie had only fallen asleep a couple of minutes ago and Taylor still had so much to do to prepare. She couldn't blame her though, Karlie really was nervous about starting school and how she'd handle it but she was trying her hardest not to show it to Taylor.

It was something she loved, and hated sometimes, about her girlfriend; she never wanted to make Taylor worry or fuss about her, but it was a completely different story the other way around.

Taylor can't help but blush as she remembered the times Karlie's stubbornness over putting everybody, Taylor and her family especially, before herself.

She raised the covers around Karlie and tucked her in before leaving a kiss on her cheek, Sleep tight and sweet dreams, baby. Now, my real work begins.
