Sunlight shined through the windows, brightening the plain white room ten fold. Riko cracked an eye open, annoyed that she slept on the wrong side of her bed yet again. It wasn't her fault she hadn't bought blinds for her apartment just yet, she usually had her back towards any form of light anyways just so she could sleep a bit longer. Opening both of her eyes fully, Riko quickly knew the reason for her change in position. Just before her laid You, grasped onto her own body as if she would disappear if she were to move.
Riko never felt more heightened of her senses until now. Her face burned with a blush as she looked down at the sleeping beauty. She didn't remember a time where she woke up before her but it was something she wouldn't mind getting used to.
Picking her hand up just a bit, Riko attempted to move out of the way but with You's tight grip that soon became difficult. She let out a mumble before giving up to look at the ceiling. With her free hand she brought it to her necklace. A simple thin gold chain, a gift from when she left on her own by her mom. She treasured it dearly, but lately it didn't feel right on herself anymore. Her thoughts were interrupted though. Hearing a deep sigh, Riko realized she wasn't the only one awake.
"Sorry I stayed over again."
You breathed out onto Riko's collarbone. Guilt crept in Riko as they both knew where this was going. Rather than confirming to You that she really shouldn't have, Riko grew tired of that usual conversation they had. Softly smiling, Riko spoke up towards the ceiling,
"It's fine. I mean, I called you over so late, it would be rude to make you go home afterwards."
You drew circles on Riko's lower stomach as she held onto her. The soft skin below her finger tips usually brought her such excitement but that was usually blinded by the night. During the day, You could see how wrong everything was. They both could really. Yet, their hearts felt right at home.
What they had wasn't supposed to last so long. It was only supposed to be for one night, yet they still laid in between the sheets after months together.
Riko snaked her hand down to grab You. With her hand in hers, she intertwined their fingers. Bringing it closer to her chest, Riko had to say the words that have been on her mind for far too long.
"I think I'm falling for you."
"Are you sure?"
Riko did have a past of not so great love stories. Each ended in tears. Yet on her last one, it started her and You. At first glance, You knew she was just a rebound for Riko. The young pianist needed a new angel to fawn over, even if only for a night. There wasn't much of a fight on You's side. With everything going on in her own life, she needed a new excitement as well which is why she took the offer. Now though, laying in her arms, You knew she took this "relationship" too far. But, was it wrong?
Riko was the first to move from their position in bed. As she sat up the covers fell around her, revealing her smooth back.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I've been alone for a while, since you're only ever here for so long. So during the day, I think just about everything."
Turning to You, Riko continued on,
"I've thought about us. I don't want just me anymore. I thought I had it all on my own but, I don't. You've brought out a different side to me, and I want you by my side."
Riko grabbed the necklace around her neck, clipping it off before presenting it to You,
"I don't have anything to give you since I'm not rich but I do have this. One day I'll replace it with something better and I'll keep going until I've given you the world."
You sat up in bed as well, bringing the sheets to cover herself. With one hand to her chest You lightly pushed back on Riko's necklace with her other. She knew how much she treasured it as it was the only jewelry she ever wore but You wasn't sure if it was an act of love or lust.
"I can't take that Riko. You don't have to give me anything, I love being with you without expecting anything."
Riko pushed the necklace out more though,
"I know, but I feel like I have to do this. I want you to know how serious I am. I wouldn't give over something like this to anyone unless I knew they were going to take care of it,"
Riko's eyes fell to the floor as she whispered she final words,
"Just like how you've taken care of me."
You felt like if she were to deny she would be denying Riko's confession. Sighing in defeat, You smiled at Riko before nodding her head. Without any more words You turned around to allow Riko to place the necklace on her. As Riko clipped it into place she took her time to observe You. They never got to spend so much intimate time together. Seeing You's sun kissed skin littered in freckles in the morning light left Riko's heart beating faster.
With the necklace on, Riko wrapped her hands around You's torso, placing a kiss to her shoulder before laying her head at her neck. You giggled at the sensation before leaning back into Riko's touch.
Neither of them were sure what would become of their future. Relationships weren't usually built on one night stands and if they were they tended to not last long. However, as You could feel Riko's rapid heartbeat against her back she couldn't help but think maybe there was a chance for them.
