Silent Daydreams - Kaylor oneshots

Study Buddy

[a/n: For that anon's request! How do I not make endings awkward? 😜]

It's nearing 11-o'clock at night and Taylor is laying sideways on the couch in her apartment, basking in the faint glow of the TV. The singer is alone and really feels the gravity of it; forced to wrap herself with an oversized hoodie and curl up in a ball, instead of feeling the warmth from Karlie's embrace.

I wonder if she's done yet, Taylor says to herself as she flips from one channel to the next.

She taps the remote against the palm of her hand, not even paying attention to the show on screen, I can't do this; it's been hours and she hasn't taken a break! Maybe I should go check on her.

Taylor stands from the couch, hoodie hanging loosely around her, obviously too big, and makes her way towards the kitchen.

She stands by the threshold, watching as Karlie sits amidst all her paperwork for school; the model taps her pen on the counter, its sound echoing throughout the room and she has on her furrowed brow, and that death glare she reserves for the most serious of cases.

Karlie doesn't even notice Taylor entering until she steps right behind her and hugs her from behind.

"Babe," Karlie sighs, leaning back into Taylor and putting her hands over the singer's.

"Karlie, I think you should take a break," Taylor pleads, hugging Karlie even closer to her, "You've been at it for hours!"

Karlie sighs, "I can't, Tay. I gotta make sure I know all this in case my Instructor calls on me tomorrow."

"Let me help you, then," Taylor whispers into Karlie's ear, "I promise you'll be done with this in no time once I show you just how much stuff you've already memorized."

"I think you'll be fairly surprised," the singer smiles coyly, thankful Karlie can't read her expression, Definitely very surprised!

Turning her head to face Taylor, Karlie smiles, "Okay. What do we do, baby?"

Taylor smiles, knowing full well Karlie doesn't really need this; she knows the model has been studying over the past couple of days and has already memorized every bit. She was just nervous, hence, the apparent mental block.

"It's easy, I'll ask you some questions and if you get it right, you win a prize!" she says taking a seat beside Karlie, "I heard somewhere that positive reinforcement can help, especially when you're studying so hard."

"What's the prize?"

"You'll see!" Taylor says with a wink, "Alright! First question, what are the 3 M's that comprise part of the System Unit?"

Karlie scrunches up her forehead and taps a finger to her lips, "Hmm...3 M's?"

"You got this, babe."

"Motherboard, Memory, and...," Karlie closes her eyes and pauses, "Microprocessors!"

"Ding ding ding! Correct!" Taylor yells and pumps her fist through the air. She begins to pull the hoodie up over her head and discards it to the floor, "Okay, next question!"

"Wait! Where's the prize?"

Taylor smiles and looks from Karlie to the hoodie on the floor, "That was it, babe," she points to the piece of clothing.

"I'm confused..."

"You'll get it once you answer this next question correctly," Taylor's eyes darken, leveling her stare with Karlie's confused look, "I promise!"

"Question two! What are the components inside a microprocessor?"

"Ooh easy! The CPU which houses the Control and the Arithmetic Logic Unit," Karlie answers with a smug face.

"Great job, babe!" Taylor says, her voice muffled, from her head getting stuck through the shirt.

She throws the shirt to the floor as well and it lands on top of the hoodie, leaving Taylor exposed in her black, lace bra.

Karlie's jaw drops in surprise, "Oh my god. Taylor Alison Swift, are you seriously doing Strip-Study with me?!"

Taylor feels Karlie's eyes stare at her hungrily as the model licks her lips, processing everything that's just happened.

"I'm just- wow, babe! holy shit," she exclaims, her cheeks getting flushed.

"Well! You and I both know you've got this lesson down already and I was getting a bit bored and this was one way I knew I could help you," Taylor smiles sheepishly, "It's working, riiight?"

"Oh yeah, it's definitely working," Karlie's eyes darken, her hand reaching out to drag down from Taylor's cheek to the top of her shorts.

Shit, Goosebumps rise all over Taylor's skin as Karlie's touch lingers on her chest and abs. She takes the model's hand in her own, "Nuh-uh! Patience, we've got a couple more questions to go, babe!"

"And I still have like my shorts and underwear on," she winks playfully and sticks her tongue out at Karlie.

The two fall into a fit of giggles; something they both loved to make each other do.

In minutes, Taylor stands bare in Karlie's arms, "See? Toldya you already knew it all!"

Karlie blushes and nuzzles her face into Taylor's hair as the singer breathes in her scent, keeping her fingers hooked at the top of Karlie's jeans.

"Now, let's get you out of these and in bed," Taylor pulls the model's shirt over her head and throws it to their pile of clothes on the floor; Karlie helping her to speed things along.

"Thanks for helping me with this, baby," Karlie holds Taylor's cheek and smiles into her eyes, "I mean with the studying too, not just like taking my clothes off."

"Ugh, you are such a dork," Taylor rolls her eyes and smiles, leaning in to kiss Karlie, "I love you."

"I love you, too."

Blue eyes stare into green while everything else in the world just fades to black. Hands, lips, and tongues collide; pushing against each other in a  dance of sorts, each of their bodies' heat rising. Fingers comb through their hair, pulling themselves closer to one another; as close as one could be in that moment, in that night.

And they stay like that; laying next to each other in the dark, blue and green eyes shining as their only source of light, even until the sun comes up.
