Chapter Text
Seele stepped out of the cable car. Fresh air flooded in, wiping away the faint smell of body odor from the cramped car. For some reason Bronya had asked her to meet her here. At the busiest station, while the sun was still up. They could have even met at the station in Qlipoth. But nope, she insisted on the center of Belobog and the absurd flight of stairs they would have to walk up.
Breaking away from the crowd Seele kept an eye out for a distinctive set of silver hair. Which was nowhere to be found. Being late was not a habit that Bronya had. So either, she was being swarmed by citizens or hiding out somewhere.
As if anticipating a creep or a monster, Seele defensively turned around in response to a sudden tap on her shoulder.
“Good to see you again Seele”
Any tenseness evaporated and a small smile came to her face. Bronya was not in her typical garb. Instead sporting a white ball cap along with a high collared jacket.
“Nice to see you as well, Bronya. What’s with the outfit?”
“Please don’t call me that, I’m incognito” Bronya whispered, tugging her collar farther up her face while shrinking her neck into it.
“Alright then princess. Why did you want to meet here? Seems kinda unnecessary.”
“I felt like walking around outside the fort. It's rare these days without some sort of accompaniment.”
“Fair enough, but what are we doing today? You kinda just told me to meet you saying you had a surprise.”
“When’s the last time you saw a movie?”
“It’s been awhile. We used to do weekly screenings in town after one of the miners found an old projector and fixed it. But I got bored after watching the same three movies over and over again.”
“Well hopefully you won’t be bored this time.”
“So that means we're going to watch a movie?”
“Yes. I’ll let you do the honours and pick one for us to watch.”
“Ooh fun. I’ll have to see what you’ve got”
The two returned to a private living area within Qlipoth fort. While the room was overall clean it was clear that it hadn’t been used in awhile. Seele paid no mind as she wandered over to the sectional in the middle of the room. The luxury between her living situation and Bronya’s was vast. However, whatever ethical concerns that popped up in Seele’s were pushed away. An occasional bit of indulgence was okay from time to time. Right?
Seele spent a long time picking the movie. There were a tonne of choices. Slowly but surely she narrowed it down, hovering over her choice.
“You want to watch a horror movie?” Bronya asked.
“If it’s okay with you.” Seele replied.
Bronya was not particularly thrilled about the selection. Not wanting to be a bad host she begrudgingly said yes.
The movie started and the two of them settled into the couch. Seele sat a comfortable distance away. It was very tempting to sit close together. Now though, it was more important to not put off Bronya. In the meantime living in overly romanticized day dreams was good enough. At least there were no consequences if she made a move there. The real world was not so easy. If she was going to make a move she would have to be patient.
Instead of focusing on the movie, Seele kept making side glances at Bronya. Both wanting to watch her reaction and admire her beauty at the same time. Bronya on the other hand was completely absorbed by the film. It made it very easy to effectively stare without being caught. Which was a unique moment that was being fully taken advantage of.
Bronya jumped out of her seat letting out a high pitched squeal. The movie played a cheap jumpscare, which had gotten Bronya quite badly.
Seele let out a small snort at the reaction. “Scared?”
“Be quiet”
A small laugh escaped her lips. Seele was completely unaffected by the jumpscare. Deciding a while ago that it was more entertaining to watch somebody else. In her observation she noticed that Bronya had moved slightly closer to her. That gave Seele the small bit of confidence, and excuse, to move closer herself.
Seele’s focus returned to the movie. Two characters were hiding in a room as the killer searched it. The male lead watched in horror as the female lead was about to be found. Bronya instinctively tried grabbing the closest object in an attempt to comfort herself. Instead of the expected throw pillow, it was Seele’s arm. Which in Bronya’s terror she did not realize.
“Uhh you okay princess?” Seele questioned.
Bronya dropped her arm immediately
“Oh sorry, I was scared.”
Being greedy Seele sensed a moment where she could get closer to Bronya again.
“It's okay. if it makes you feel better you can hold onto my hand.”
“Okay thank you.” Bronya sheepishly replied.
Seele stuck out her hand. A Soft hand enveloped it, interlocking their fingers together. Her heart rate began to climb rapidly. She scooted closer again. Hands now resting on top of where their legs are touching. There was no more space between them. Bronya seemed to pay no mind to their current position, choosing to focus on the movie.
Whatever will power Seele had to watch the movie was gone. She was currently melting into a puddle of serotonin. Slightly overwhelmed by their situation she closed her eyes. Tuning everything else out she concentrated on the feeling that was taking over her body. The skin which was touching Bronya was tingling with delight.
The feeling was different from the other night. Both of them were completely sober, borderline cuddling watching a movie. There was no plausible deniability that came with the alcohol. Which for Seele was terrifying and exhilarating. She now had the agency to keep pushing forward. They were already touching so what else might Bronya be okay with. Many ideas floated around in her head.
Letting out a fake yawn, Seele lowered her head to rest on Bronya’s shoulder. If previously it was just borderline cuddling, this one hundred percent crossed that line.
“Are you okay?” Bronya quietly asked, trying not to talk over the movie.
“Just a little sleepy”
“Do you want to stop?”
“No, I’m enjoying myself”
Seemingly pleased with the answer, Bronya returned to watching the movie. Seele reveled in her new found position. Another successful move made her want more. Before a new plan could be hatched, Bronya placed her head upon her own. Seele’s heart fluttered in her chest.
“You smell nice.” Bronya coquettishly stated.
“Yea you too” Seele cooed. It was a one-two punch that left her stunned. Now there was no longer uncertainty about how well received her attention was. If there was a time to go for more it was now. All she had to do was to build up the courage to do so. However, her stomach was tying knots. Anxiety bursting at the seams.
In an act of self reassurance she tried tilting her head to glance once again at Bronya. Curious brown eyes were already peering back. Butterflies filled her stomach as time slowed to a crawl. Temptation seeped into her mind. Her eyes drifted towards Bronya’s lips then back again, unwittingly asking a question with them. Bronya softly continued to stare back. Her free hand reached up and gently touched the other girl's chin. Using it as a guide to bring them closer. Inches became millimeters as Seele closed her eyes.
Their lips connected gently. For a few seconds they were motionless. Both their brains trying to process the feeling of one another. Slowly, their lips pulled apart. Only separated for a moment the need became overwhelming. Seele’s heart pounded in her chest. Fervently she pressed her lips back into Bronya’s. Bronya responded in kind, letting out a soft moan.
Seele pressed forward, unhappy with their current position. She uncoupled their held hands. The now-free hand quickly grabbed the other side of Bronya’s face. Pulling Bronya's face into hers, deepening their kiss. As they continued, Seele moved her leg over Bronya’s lap, straddling her. In response, Bronya wrapped her arms around Seele’s waist, bringing their bodies together.
Seele pressed her tongue against Bronya’s lips, wanting more. Bronya instantly obliged, parting her lips. Their tongues obsessively enveloping each other. Bronya melted farther into the couch under Seele’s control. Seele pressed her tongue deeper into her mouth. Releasing an embarrassing moan. Upon hearing the positive reception, Seele continued her actions. Pushing more aggressively to hear more of Bronya’s cute noises.
A shrill shriek erupted from the television, bringing both girls crashing back to reality. A swift, and very frustrated, Seele grabbed the remote, turning the TV off. The brief moment of reprieve gave them some time to think.
“What are we doing?” Bronya wondered. The two of them were still in a very compromising position. Bronya refused to make eye contact, preferring to stare at the ceiling.
“I don’t know… just the way you looked at me… and then…” Seele hesitated. It wasn’t a real answer, only enough to tithe further questioning away.
“I see”
“Did you not like it?”
“Do I really need to answer that?”
Seele thought about it for a moment. If Bronya did not want to do what they just did then it wouldn't have gotten even remotely close to where it did. It was a silly question to ask.
“Do you want to keep going?”
“I don’t want to make a mistake”
“Is what we did a mistake?”
“Yes, No, I mean go farther than we should”
“Is this too far?” Seele asked, as she lifted Bronya’s chin. Placing a soft kiss on her lips.
“No”
Seele took the initiative pushing Bronya onto her back. One now laying on top of the other their heated excitement continued. Seele dug her hands into the other girl's hair causing Bronya to pull Seele in tighter. Slowly the passion died down and a calm pace took over. Eventually they stopped; Seele resting in the crook of Bronya’s neck.
“Had enough?”
“Yes, we went for quite awhile”
“Haha fair enough”
A calm quietness came over the room. Seele was content burying her face well into Bronya’s neck. The soft breathing gave Bronya goosebumps.
“Hey Seele”
“Hmm?”
“Can I ask you a question”
“Sure”
“Have you ever done that with someone else before?”
“Uhh no, that was my first time. What about you?” Seele admitted.
“Well obviously not.”
“Sooo I guess that makes each other our firsts then”
“It seems that way”
“I definitely didn’t expect that when I came over today”
“Neither did I.”
Seele closed her eyes, soaking in the moment. Peacefully enjoying the sounds and movements of Bronya’s breathing. The scent of the other woman filled her nostrils. She could feel herself falling asleep at any moment. However, sleep wouldn’t come.
“What time are you going to leave?” Bronya asked.
“I don’t know,” Seele Sighed.
“Should be soon, not long until the cable car stops running”
“Don’t remind me”
“Are you trying to skip last call so you have an excuse to stay?”
“That’s the plan. It worked once already”
“Right, how do you think it's gonna go now that your scheme has been uncovered?”
“Pretty good. The victim hasn’t realized I'm still on top of her and I can hold them hostage until she says yes.”
“I’ll call the guard”
“I’ve already prepared for that. I have the perfect way to silence you at a moment's notice.”
“You’re really committed to this bit aren’t you”
“Oh yea”
“Fine, you really want to stay over?”
“Yes”
“Okay, fine”
“Yay! Thank you princess.” Seele exclaimed.
“Alright please get up, I don’t want to fall asleep on the couch.”
Seele complied with her demands, unravelling herself from on top of Bronya. The sudden coolness covered her chest where she was previously laying. Even that short period of time laying together was intoxicating.
Waiting for Bronya to finish in the washroom, Seele mindlessly scrolled on her phone. Unlike the other night, Seele could take advantage without the consequences. That previous line had already been crossed, by a lot, much earlier in the night. Uncertainty was replaced with confidence.
“You look comfortable,” Bronya said as she exited the washroom. Seele had put down her phone and made herself at home in Bronya’s bed.
“I could always be more comfortable”
“How’s that”
“Come here and I’ll show you” Seele flirted, revealing the covers for a spot so Bronya could sit.
Without hesitation Bronya accepted the invitation. She slid under the covers for an expecting Seele. She then felt Seele press closely against her back. Legs quickly entwined each other, rubbing together gently, enjoying the softness of each. An arm slid over her side searching for her own hand. They naturally interlocked their hands together. A familiar face nuzzled into the crook of her neck again.
“You were so cute tonight,” Seele purred. Bronya’s stomach filled with butterflies at the words.
“Ah, thank you,” Bronya flustered. There wasn’t much room for words at the moment. Knowing that Seele kept going.
“You’re so beautiful, you know that?” Seele placed a small kiss on Bronya’s neck. A shiver ran down her spine.
“Why do you keep doing this to me”
“Doing what?”
“You just keep touching me and flirting with me, it's so much to take in. I barely have a moment to think before my heart races again.”
“If it's too much I can stop.”
“No… It’s addicting. It’s like I have no more control over my body. I can’t help but to completely give in to you” Bronya confessed.
“Honestly, I can barely control myself either. My body just does what it wants.”
Bronya rolled over to look at Seele. Their eyes met and stared longingly at each other. Their heads, only millimeters apart.
“What does your body want right now?” Bronya asked.
“A lot of things”
“Pick one”
“It wants to kiss you”
“Then you should listen to it”
