But It's Better If You Do

R U Mine

After Meulin had finally left and things had calmed down Kurloz came back inside and flopped down on the sofa next to me. He leaned his head back and groaned.
“The mood’s dead isn’t it?”
“Yup.” I sighed.
“God damnit!” he growled gritting his teeth. I leaned against his shoulder and he wrapped an arm around my waist pulling me closer.  The silence surrounding us was awkward but peaceful. After a while we both lay pressed against each other on the couch. I yawned quietly then looked towards the kitchen clock. How long had we been laying here? I couldn’t quite make out the time (not that it really mattered right about now). I snuggled closer to Loz and shut my eyes for a brief moment.
“A, want me to take you home?” Kurloz questioned. His voice was more husky than usual so I figured maybe he’d fallen asleep at some point. I let out a groan then grabbed on to the front of his shirt. He stroked my hair then held onto my waist carefully standing to his feet as he carried me to his room. He flopped down onto his mattress with me still in his arms; I leaned my head against his chest and wrapped one of my legs around his.
“Night, A.” I felt his lips press against my forehead. I hummed in response before completely succumbing to sleep.

“Loz, wake up!”
“Ugh, do we gotta go to school?”
“Yes! Now get up!”
Kurloz sat up slowly before throwing a pillow in my general direction.
“You missed.” I laughed; a second pillow it me in the face. I threw the pillow back but Loz was already gone. I huffed then headed back into the den waiting for Loz and Gam so we could make it to school. Gamzee flopped down next to me on the couch and Kurloz followed after.
“You had clothes here?” they asked almost simultaneously.
I nodded as a response. The three of us piled into Loz’s car without another word; we stopped to get breakfast then made our way to school.
Gamzee immediately ran off to find his friends leaving me and Loz alone for a while; Kurloz grabbed my hand and walked me to my locker. The hallway was surprisingly empty which was weird considering there was still time until home room started.
“A.” Loz called leaning against a nearby locker. I turned to face him and he immediately pressed his lips against mine.
“I all up and motherfuckin love you.” He stated slowly after he had pulled away.
I felt my face flush. “I love you.” I stated emphasizing my words. He smirked before pecking my lips again and grabbing my backpack from my locker. He held onto my hand once more and the two of us walked into homeroom together. As soon as we entered the class everyone got quiet and stared at us. Low whispers immediately erupted from the class and I could feel Kurloz tense next to me; I squeezed his hand reassuringly. We sat down at a table towards the back of the room and everyone’s gazes followed accordingly before they all returned to their previous conversations. Kurloz fumbled through his backpack searching for his phone. Maybe we should’ve stayed home today. Loz scrolled through all his apps until he found what he was looking for. Meulin had posted the video to every form of social media and even managed to have the quality boosted to HD. My face flushed and my heartbeat quickened.
“That’s hella embarrassing but also kinda hot.” I admitted. Loz’s face switched expressions quickly.
“I’m not pretending to be ok. I’m fine and I honestly don’t care about the stupid video. If they wanna talk they can talk. She thinks this is gonna break because I have a good girl reputation, but really Imma bad bitch at heart.” I ranted. I gripped Loz’s thigh under the table.
“Don’t stress. We gon be alright.” I resolved. I grabbed his face then pulled him into a kiss. He reciprocated then sighed once he’d pulled away.
“Aight, but if a motherfucker starts shit I’m fightin’.”
