Instant Family (SWSH Fanfic)

Appearances and Truth

"Oh poor thing..." Gloria's voice was muted as she stepped into the shower behind Bea. Her arms wrapped around her, her hands sliding down to her wrists to inspect her palms. Bea's warmth radiated against her body as the water trickled down them both.

Bea perked her head up, glancing up to meet Gloria's gaze. Her voice sounded shy, "Oh? Ah, it's nothing..." She winced in Gloria's arms as she ran her thumb over her reddened palms, Gloria frowned.

This is my fault...

"Lemme take care of you then," She let go of Bea, reaching around her to grab the bottle of shampoo perched on the shelf beside them, "I won't take no for an answer!" She backed away, holding the bottle above her head as Bea whipped herself around to face her, grabbing for the shampoo.

"Hey—" her small figure closed in on Gloria, who was shooting her a wide, shit-eating grin, "—come on— I don't need all that—" she cornered Gloria against the cold, glass pane at the opposite end of her shower. She stood up on her tip toes, bracing one hand against Gloria's soft shoulder as she swiped her hand up at the elusive bottle. A pout began to form on her face, Gloria felt herself blush as she closely inspected the rippling muscles on Bea's body. Her hand unconsciously wrapped around her waist to pull her closer, Bea suddenly stopped fighting for the bottle.

Oh my...

"Um..."

Gloria's hand slowly started to lower, the intense eye contact between the two seemed to make the steam form faster, Bea's eyes darted to Gloria's lips.

I'm going for it.

Gloria haphazardly reached over to the shelf to balance the bottle back on top of it, firming her grasp around Bea's waist. She leaned in for a kiss, both of Bea's hands shot up to her shoulders. Gloria cocked an eyebrow.

"You don't wanna?"

"No no— I definitely do—"

Her eyes darted over to the door to the bathroom, then back to Gloria.

Shit— Allister.

"Oohhhh I get it—"

"I just don't want to make him wait you know— hey— what are you doing—"

Gloria's hands fell to Bea's ass, clamping down firmly as she brought her closer playfully, "C'mon... Let's have a little fun..."

Bea's face glowed with a blush, her arms wrapped around Gloria's neck as she begrudgingly melted into her embrace, "Gloria, I cant just— he's gonna be so hungry and I haven't figured—"

Gloria's head ducked down to Bea's neck, Gloria walking her backward closer to the warm stream. Her lips made delicious contact with her sensitive skin, the drops of water began to drum on them both. Bea closed her eyes.

"You think too much..."

"You..." Gloria's hands began to wander, Bea became breathless in her arms, "... have a surprisingly low amount of responsibilities..."

Gloria kissed her way up to Bea's jaw, humming with amusement, "Oh? You think so...?"

Steam curled around them in tendrils, the sunlight filtered through from the skylights in the ceiling of the bathroom. Bea opened her eyes to find Gloria's lips millimeters from her own. Gloria brought her hand back up to run through her wet hair, Bea swallowed hard.

"Ten minutes tops— then you need to help me figure out lunch—"

Gloria smirked, nuzzling a sweet, wet Eskimo kiss against Bea,
