Duet: an Avi Kaplan fanfic

Water is Good

After dinner, Avi and I go to what is quickly becoming our favorite place to hang out, my back porch. I suddenly get an idea, acompanied by a feeling of recklessness.

"Hey, Avi, you wanna go swimming? There's a creek in the woods back there that's flooded from all the rain. Wanna go?" I ask, grinning.

"Um, i don't know...you sure?"

"Let's go," i grab his hand and lead him, laughing to the woods at the back of my yard. We strip down to our underwear and the sight of him like that makes my pulse race. It only picks up when i see the look on his face as he surveys me. The scars that are evidence of just how clumsy i am, the odd birthmark on my chest, the extra weight that i just cant shed no matter how hard i try, all of it under his scrutiny.

I step forward placeing a hand on his chest, the muscles underneath hard and lean. Avi's arms snake around my waist, pulling me in closer. Our lips lock together, moving together i tandem as we let oursselves fall into the frigid water.

Sure, we swim a little, but most of the time is spent running our fingers over every inch of exposed skin. Eventually, i remember that I still have to work tomorrow and that we really should go inside.

Settling in my bed, my head on his chest, his arms wrappe around me, we fall asleep.

My alarm goes off at 5:30 and i roll practically on top of Avi's still sleeping form. I know this sounds cliche, but he looks even more beautiful asleep. Almost as though someone had left a breathing painting of an angel in my bed. I can't help but stare, transfixed.

The second alarm snaps me out of my daze. I can't wait any longer or i will be late for work. I haul myself out of bed and into the shower.

I hum to myself as i wash my hair. A cold wash of air hits my back and i turn arund to see Avi stepping in with me. True, my lacy bra and panties hadn't hidden much, but this was still the first time he'd seen me naked. i blushed scarlet. He wraps hs arms around me, kissing me sweetly on the lips. His lips travel down to my neck, then lower to my chest. I let a small moan escape my lips.

"Babe, we can't... Not... right now. Oh, god that feels good.Don't... Stop." My raaged breathing stilting my words. Avi doesn't stop. His hands slide down my back, his lips continues to whisper across my wet skin. I know that i need to go and that if we get started, i will be late. "Avi, you know i want to, i do. But i have work today and i can't be late." Avi kiises my mouth one more time before letting me go and i get out.

After getting ready, i kiss Avi and drive to work. He was going to heasd home and go back to sleep before rehearsal. The entire drive, i'm thinking, "There is no way that just happened."

The day passes fairly uneventfully. The day picked up when i got home to see a note that said simply, "Arya,

We need to talk later. This is important.

Livvie"

i went about my business while i waited for Mel and Livvie to come home from their classes. Just as i was walking upstairs, Livvie walked through the door.

"Hey, what did you want to talk about that was so urgent?" i ask.

"Just what exactly did you and Avi do last night?" the accusation apparent in my sister's voice.

"Nothing. Why?" We hadn't done anything really, i thought

"Well, I saw his clothes from yesterday on your floor and you two cuddled up in bed together when i passed your room this morning."

"Shit, i forgot to close the door." i  mutter.

"Aahh, so something did happen?"

Mel walks through the door, takes one look at us and asks, "What happened?"

"Arya and Avi had sex last night. While we were in the house." Livvie states, even though it's not true.

"Seriously?" Mel asks.

"NO! We did not! God, Livvie. Stop assuming things." I snap. It takes a while but i manage to cinvince them that nothing happened.

A few hours later, the trio are over. Avi and Kevin are still at the studio recording, Everyting is going great until Mitch looks over at me and pointedly says, "Avi was acting really weird today. He kept zoning out and grinning like an idiot."

"Well, i didn't drug him, so why are you looking at me like that?" i shoot back at him.

"Was he ating weird before he left this morning, Arya?" Livvie asks. Scott's eyebrows go up suggestively.

"Seriously, Liv? You say it like that? How many times do i have to tell you that nothing happened last night?" I want to smack her.

"Fine. Nothing happened last night." Kirstie agreed. i hug her for not escalting the issue.

"Yeah, nothing happened last night," Mel starts,"but that sure as hell didn't sound like your usual singing in the shower this morning."

"Really now? Forget what happened last night, what happened this morning?" Scott asks.

"Babe...oh, god that feels good. Don't stop." Mel fake moans. i go scarlet again. God i want to strangle her right now.

"Gettin' it on in the shower, Arya?" Mitch teases me.

"NO!" I yell and run upstairs. I swear, i will kill them all later. Except Kirstie, she wasn't being a bitch like the other four.
