Darkness's Flower: Pulling It Together

Chapter 26: Nothing Like Making Out With Nico

~Lilly~

Nico smiled at me. "Yeah, well, let's not worry about tattoos right now."

I giggled and I rolled part-way on top of him. Nico grinned and kissed me lightly on the neck.

"Easy there, tiger. Not doing that, thank you," I said.

He smirked. "I know, I know."

I put my hand on his chest and he put his arms around my back. I pressed my lips to his. We both started kissing each other hard. I ran my fingers through his hair over and over again. His arm moved up around my neck. We couldn't be kissing each other any harder. We were both breathing heavier, but we didn't care. We kept kissing and kissing. After what seemed like seconds, which I know is more like a couple minutes, maybe more than a couple, I pulled back from Nico, breathing heavier.

"Keep going, Lills. It's nice," he said.

I smiled and started kissing him hard again. He moved his hand up and down my hip and halfway up my ribs. I could feel Nico's smile beneath my lips, making me smile, causing us to stop kissing. Nico kissed me on the nose, then rolled us both over, putting him on top of me.

I giggled. "Nico!"

"What?" he asked, grinning.

"Just kiss me."

He came down and started kissing me even harder than the last two times. We kissed and kissed. I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling the ends of his messy hair. He put his hand on my jawline. After a while, he pulled back, almost out of breath. I was almost out of breath myself.

"Nico, my lips are almost numb!" I told him.

"Mine are too, but I don't care. I'm loving every moment of this," he replied.

We both smiled. My arms were still around his neck and I pulled him back down. We kissed hard, yet again. We were both almost out of breath and my lips were almost numb and starting to hurt. But I was still very nervous, like always. Every time I feel the movement of his lips against mine, I get even more butterflies, making me kiss him just as hard. I don't think we can be kissing any harder than we are right now. I put my fingers through his soft hair. I felt him smile and he pulled back.

"I love you, so much," Nico said, out of breath.

"I love you too," I replied, just as tired.

He rolled off of me and we just lay there, trying to get feeling back in our lips and to catch out breath. He rolled over on his side and looked at me. I put my hand on his ribs, on his tattoo.

"You're fingers are cold," he said.

"Yeah, I know. And you're very warm," I replied.

"Then why don't you come closer and maybe you can be warm too?"

I giggled and made my way closer to Nico. I pressed my body against his, putting my face close to his. He kissed me again. I kissed him just as hard back. Yes, we're making out very intensely! Geez, don't pressure me about it! After another very long make out, I pulled back. Nico rolled back over on his back and I cuddled up to him, putting my body against his side.

I put my face right in his neck and nudged it with my nose. "This was nice, Nico."

"Yeah, it was. Thank you," he said.

I giggled. "Whatever."

"No, I'm serious. Thank you for doing this."

I giggled again and kissed him on the cheek. "Good night, Skull Boy."

"Night, Frosty."

"Ok, you really need something else. I don't really like that."

He chuckled. "Then what do you want me to call you?"

"I dunno! That's why I said you really need to, not I really need to!"

"Fine. I'll call you, uh, I have no idea. I'm not good at that! Can't I just call you Lills?"

"I guess."

He turned his head down towards me and I kissed him softly. Just a nice, simple kiss, then put my face back in his neck.

"Good night, Lillian," Nico whispered.

"Night, Nico," I whispered back.

It started getting colder and colder. Colder and colder. I started shivering. It keeps getting colder and colder.

"N-Nico," I said.

"You f-feel it too?" he asked.

"Y-yeah."

He sat up and grabbed the covers, pulling them over both of us. The blankets were warm and I snuggled even closer to Nico. I could sense his smile.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked, still having my face in his neck.

"How'd you know?"

"I'm not sure, but I do."

"Well, okay! I'm smiling because you're, like, right up against me, trying to stay warm. I love it."

I giggled. "Well, I'm cold and maybe I like snuggling with my boyfriend."

"I know you do. Now go to sleep."

"Shut up."

I pushed myself up and kissed him hard. He kissed me back harder and it turned into another make out. I pulled back when I could barely breathe and snuggled up into him like I was before. I went to sleep.

Here I am, falling. Falling through complete darkness. I couldn't really see much, it was so dark. I was screaming and screaming. I felt someone's hand grab my wrist. I saw Nico straining to keep me from falling. He was the one grasping my wrist.

"Nico!" I squealed.

"I know! I'm trying!" he said.

He kept trying to pull me up. Nothing was working. I could feel something beneath me trying to pull me down. It was winning. Nico's fingers were slipping...slipping...slipping...

I fell.
