Love Comes With A Price

Room to Ourselves

I do not own Life Is Strange or any of its characters, I'm just very very very gay for Chloe.

      It had been almost a month since your arrival, and you lay on the bed in your dorm room, nose deep in F/B. You had decorated your room with paintings you had done since you arrived. Some were of landscapes, some were of buildings, and some, of Chloe. 

      You and the bluenette had become closer over the past month, and you were starting to have a hard time imagining life without her. Your foster parents had been worried at first, with how much time the two of you spent together, the nature of your relationship, and Chloe in general, but you had assured them that everything was alright. 

      A knock came from the door and you bookmarked your spot, setting the novel aside and going to answer the door. Speak of the devil, Chloe stood leaning against your door frame, cigarette in hand. "Can I come in?" She asked and you frowned. "Not with that thing." You said, plucking the cancer stick out of her fingers and smashing it into an ashtray on the stand by the door. "Come on it was just the one!" She exclaimed, pouting. You shook your head, opening the door for her. 

      "You know the drill, go brush your teeth." 

      "Yeah yeah, I know." She huffed, turning and walking to the bathroom down the hall. When she returned she slipped into your room, and you rolled your eyes before closing the door. Chloe walked around the small space before flopping down on your bed, her hands behind her head. "So whatcha been up to since yesterday, N/N?" She asked, grinning like the Cheshire cat as you walked over and sat next her on the edge of your f/c comforter. 

      You shrugged. "Nothing really, I've been finishing up some paintings but nothing extraordinarily exciting. I'm going to lunch with Patty and Ned, but nothing really planned besides that and finishing my book." 

      Chloe smirked. "Well I know ways to fill your schedule." You blushed and looked away from her, the back of your neck and the tips of your ears heating up. "Chloe you know that's not a good idea, not right now."

      "I know, but I still want to." She murmured, sitting up and planting kisses along your jaw. "Come on, we'll be quick, what time are they getting here?"

      "Literally any minute now." You sighed, biting your lip. As much as you wanted to give in, you shouldn't, it would be disastrous if your foster parents walked in on.. oh god you didn't want to think about it. You pecked Chloe on the lips. "Not right now, but maybe later, okay?" 

      Chloe sighed dramatically and flopped down on the bed. "Fiiiine." You held back a giggle as you stood and grabbed a towel from your closet. "I'm going to go hop in the shower, don't get into any trouble okay?" 

      Chloe grunted a yes and you left the room, chuckling to yourself. You waved to the few people you had managed to meet since coming to Arcadia Bay, and they smiled politely before going back to their own conversations. You sighed as your phone buzzed in your pocket. You took it out and saw the whale contact photo and smiled. 

      "'Sup P?" You smiled, and you could practically hear Nathan smiling on the other end. "'Sup F/I? What are you doing today?" 

      "I'm getting ready to go to lunch with Patty and Ned, and then Chloe and I are gonna hang out. What you up to?" You explain as you reach the bathroom, pushing open the door with your free hand. "I don't know, maybe go take some pictures or something." He said, and you paused. 

      "Nate, don't you dare." 

      "Don't dare what?" 

      "I know what you do when you're bored, and I'm not letting you do drugs. How about I come over and we can watch a movie?" You say, leaning against a sink. There's silence on the other end for a moment before Nathan's voice come in quietly. "I'd like that actually. Princess Bride?" 

      "As you wish." You smile, and you hear him chuckle on the other end. "See you in a bit."
