The Starry Night

The one where Tobin is a hopeless artist, and Alex is her canvas.

Tobin opened her eyes slowly. Breathing in the fresh morning air and feeling the body heat from the girl next to her. She looks down at their bare bodies, still naked from the previous night and smiles at the way their legs tangle together and how their bodies are impossibly close to one another.

The artist slowly got up and walked on the cold hardwood floor towards the shower.

Not long after she turned the silver faucet, she heard muffled foot steps coming her way, opening the door and getting into the shower along with Tobin.

No words were exchanged, there was no need. The girls simply smiled at each other in understanding before Alex leaned in to kiss Tobin's soft lips. Tobin caressed the younger girl's soft skin, running her hands on her body while letting the water wash their bodies together. The artist smiled and kissed Alex's shoulder blade, slowly going up towards her neck.

When Tobin reached Alex's ear, she softly nipped it before breathing out a whispered "I love you,".
Alex grinned and hugged Tobin, letting the warm, steady stream of water wash away every care they ever had. When they were finally done taking a shower they went back to their bed. They were just cuddling for a while before inspiration hit Tobin like a rock and she sprung up.
"Turn around." Tobin smiled.

The younger girl understood what that meant after spending nearly 2 years with the artist and rolled over on her stomach without protest.

Tobin picked up the brushes and color palette from the bedside table and sat on Alex's lower back. She first kissed Alex's body softly before taking a quite big brush, dipping it in the dark blue color and painting Alex's back. At first, Alex winced at the coldness of the colored material as it hit her hot skin but with every stroke Tobin made, Alex adjusted more. Tobin started painting circles and lines and after a few hours she was finally done. She took her phone out and quickly snapped a picture.

"You can get up now." She told Alex with a smile.

"It came out so good this time." Tobin grinned and showed the photo to Alex.

"You're amazing." Alex smiled and pecked Tobin's lips softly. "I'm gonna go shower. Feel free to join me again." Alex said and walked towards the bathroom.

This time it was Tobin opening the door and getting in the shower with Alex. She watched as the colored water ran from the younger girl's back to the floor and then the drain. And just like that hours of work were gone. This was her favorite part. Getting to start all over again.
