Escaping Darkness

Love Wins

        I felt the pleasantness of sleep tugged away from me by the oddly calming scent of cigarettes mixed with cinnamon. It was odd, but oh so sweet. I opened my eyes to see the top of a head of brown hair. I almost screamed but stopped myself, it was just Hope. Oh, thank goodness she didn't leave. I lifted my head up slightly to see Dabbson passed out on the floor. He sleeps like one of those male anime protagonists.

        I slowly rested my head back down on my powder pink pillow, it's so soft. I looked at the back of Hope's head, her hair seemed to fit perfectly where it was. She's so pretty, and she doesn't even know. Wait, where is my arm? One of my arms was over her waist, the other was under her, and my hand was, well, uh...

        I felt my cheeks flush red, my hand was on her boob! Ahh, what did I do?! She didn't wake up, so she isn't mad, maybe she is in her sleep? Probably not, I'm just being paranoid. Her boobs were soft last time I squeezed them, what if I do it again? Will she be mad? Will she be scared? Will she just walk out with Dab and find another girl? 

         No, no she wouldn't do that to me, the Hope I know is way too nice to do that, thankfully. I gently squeezed my hand, the softness squishing between my fingers and through the soft cloth of the shirt I lent her. I'm glad she wore the pajamas I lent her, she looks so hot in shorts!

         I moved the flesh orb in my hand around gently, trying not to awaken the sleeping beauty in my arms. Her boobs were still seemingly a bit too large for her, I'm slightly jealous, but I won't be later if I grow the balls to ask her out!

        I decided to grow a pair at this moment, I don't know why now with Dab asleep on the floor, but I did. I took a slight breath and reached under the shirt. My grandfather is rolling in his grave right now I swear. Hope must not wear a bra when she sleeps, but not like I care right now. I probably should though.

        I managed to get a whole 5 minutes of my pure gay bliss before I felt her shift a bit. I stopped moving my hand, but like the moron I am, I didn't move it. I felt her flinch slightly and turn around to face me. I was expecting a slap, so I prematurely flinched. This is it Clarity, you screwed up, she's going to leave.

        Yet, the slap never came. I felt her turn around in my arms, my hand still clasped onto her warm chest.

        "So, it's like that huh?" I opened my eyes to meet hers right in front of mine. They were the perfect shade of blue, and they were the most alive I'd have ever seen them. 

         "Like what?" I grinned the best I could, I'm so embarrassed! She just laughed in my face and scooted slightly closer to me, my heart was pounding, and I could feel hers was as well. We were so close, I could feel her breath on my face.

        "You know, last time you full-on groped me, I'm glad this time you held back." She had a smug look on her face. I can't think of a way to save this. I opened my mouth to say something, but only dying seagull noises came out. Smooth Clarity, smooth. She just giggled that soft little giggle that makes my stomach do backflips.

        I gulped and tried to piece my thoughts together. Is this the time? Do I pour my heart out right now? Make myself as venerable as I'll ever be in my entire life? How do I tell her she makes the sky pale in comparison to her? That when she laughs it's like all other noise just fades away? I felt my palms go sweaty, my throat become dry, everything was so fast but oh so slow at the same time.

        I moved my hand away from her boob, the sweat parting as I pulled away. She looked at me slightly confused before I grabbed her hand in mine and held them close to my chest. This is it Clarity, you can do it, make this angel yours and yours alone. 

        "Hey, Hope?" I finally spoke, but my voice wasn't as confident as I had wanted it to be. Dammit...

       "Yeah?" She asked, looking up at me, her eyes full of curiosity. I swallowed hard, letting my nerves take over for just a second. I felt a tear try to go down my cheek. I went to wipe it away, but Hope beat me to it. Her hands were soft like feathers, like a bed after a long day of final exams. I could sleep with her right here, but I couldn't sleep, not until I tell her.

       I looked her dead in the eyes, and with every ounce of emotion I could muster, let it fly.

       "I love you," I said it. I felt myself shaking, the tears welling up in my eyes. Would she reject me, or worse, would she leave me? I looked at her, her eyes were blown wide, a deep red blush dusted across her cheeks, and tears sliding down her face. I messed up, didn't I? I need to apolo-

       My thoughts were cut off as she kissed my lips, making time stop right in its place. My thoughts raced around but at least I had the immediate reaction to kiss her back. I closed my eyes to hold back the tears, hugging her close as we kissed, afraid to let go or even open my eyes and have to face the dreaded realization that I was dreaming. 

         Her lips fit perfectly into mine, letting me melt right into her, and her into me. It felt like hours, and I never wanted it to end. My stomach was in knots, my head spinning, my heart pounding so hard I thought it was going to explode.

        Sadly, the human body needs oxygen. I pulled away, hearing her inhale in perfect synch with me. I looked her in the eyes, hers meeting mine in a locked gaze of brown and blue. Neither of us spoke, in fear it'd just be a fucked-up dream. Eventually, she spoke up.

        "Hey, I'm not dreaming, right?" I laughed, she then covered my mouth, laughing just as much. I tried covering hers, but she tried to squirm away.

         "Hey, that's cheating!" We kept play fighting, trying to shut the other up, only to laugh louder. If Dab or my parents woke up, so be it, I never wanted this to end. It was more perfect than I ever imagined. She's so much different than when I first met her, it made my heart sing. To think this gorgeous, amazing girl was hidden under all of those bruises and tears. I refuse to see her like that ever again. 

         We were lost in our bliss. I finally got Hope pinned down to the bed, taking the advantage.

         "Well, what did I miss?" We both froze and looked over at a now very wide awake Dabbon Castillo, shirtless and gay sitting on my bedroom floor.

        "When the fuck did you wake up?" Ah, Hope, ever vulgar, I still love that.

        "Well, when the fuck did you two wake up?" Dabbson and Hope were giving each other playful, yet vicious glares.

        "I asked you first dickbag"

        "I asked you second mountain tops" Hope gasped.

        "You did not"

        "I did big tits McGee!" He had a smirk on his face, Hope then got an evil glint in her eye. That's arousing.

        "Oh yeah, well what about that sassy nerd that you treat like eye candy?" Wait, Dab has a crush? Since when? Anyways, I should stop them.

        "Okay princesses, break it up." We all laughed, I ended up falling on Hope, the laughter increasing tenfold. We kept laughing until my light was switched on. It was my mom.

       "Okay kiddos, it's 2 am, you all have school tomorrow, and me and my hubby have work. Let's get some rest, alright?" We all nodded and got back to sleeping positions. My mom wished us goodnight, before returning to her room. We ended up laughing again after she left. It was perfect.
