Black Blue and Gold

Chapter 3 (Part 1)

Past & Present

"Good morning."

Taeyeon heard the soft whisper. She groaned and tried to turn her body away from the voice.

Tiffany held Taeyeon in place, tightening the arm she had around Taeyeon's waist.

Taeyeon turned her head away when she realized that she couldn't move the rest of her body. "Go away," she whined.

Tiffany chuckled. Just over six months ago, she wouldn't have believed it if anyone had told her that the cold and tough Inspector Kim would look cutest in the morning after a long night at work. Heck, she couldn't even imagine Taeyeon acting cute and whiny even though she had had glimpses of this unexpected side of her. Yet the more she got to know her, the more she realized how adorable this Kim Taeyeon really was. There was always something new to discover about Taeyeon.

Tiffany waited for a minute before she tried waking Taeyeon up again. "Taeyeon-ah..."

Taeyeon didn't react.

Tiffany loosened her hold and Taeyeon immediately turned her body away – her back now facing Tiffany. She pulled the covers up over her head.

Tiffany sighed. "Come on, Taeyeon." Tiffany scooted up on the bed. She hugged her from behind. "We need to get going," she coaxed – mumbling against Taeyeon's ear after struggling to pull the covers down.

Taeyeon flinched from the voice and the warm breath on her ear. She groaned again. "One more hour."

"Can't. We have to be there in less than two hours." Tiffany kissed Taeyeon's shoulder. "You promised them." She then drew Taeyeon's hair back to reveal her neck. She started to trail light kisses along the back and side of Taeyeon's neck.

Taeyeon shivered. "That tickles," she mumbled as she fidgeted to escape the kisses. She unconsciously started to smile.

Tiffany noticed it. She didn't stop what she was doing.

Taeyeon sighed and finally opened her eyes. She turned around to face a victoriously grinning Tiffany. "Seriously..." She frowned.

"What? I know you like it."

Taeyeon didn't comment on the true statement. "What are you doing on my bed?"

"You want me to leave? Okay then." Tiffany sat up and moved to get off the bed.

Taeyeon quickly grabbed Tiffany's arm and pulled – making Tiffany fall back on to the mattress. She swiftly rolled on top of her housemate, pinning her down.

Tiffany laughed. "You can't resist me, Kim Taeyeon, so stop trying."

"You little devil." Taeyeon leaned down for a kiss.

Tiffany turned her head away. "No way. You haven't brushed your teeth!" She started pushing Taeyeon's shoulders. "Get off me!"

Taeyeon grabbed Tiffany's wrists. "You disturbed my sleep and now you're telling me off? That's not how it works, Miss Hwang." She dove down, trying to plant a kiss anywhere she could.

Tiffany turned her head right and left frantically, trying to avoid Taeyeon's lips. "Yah!" She started laughing when Taeyeon's kisses grew sloppy – randomly marking her face. "Ohmygod! Brush your teeth first!" She grimaced.

"Kiss!"

Tiffany sighed. She stopped moving and Taeyeon immediately grabbed the opportunity to kiss her on the lips.

Taeyeon loved skinship. That was also something that surprised Tiffany. They weren't the PDA type but at home, Taeyeon was very expressive. She would steal kisses, sneak a hug, hold Tiffany's hand or cuddle when they were watching TV or just resting. Tiffany didn't mind at all, of course.
