Work Text:
It was cold outside, raindrops were pouring heavily. No one dared to step a foot outside. Everyone was in the safety of their home, away from the cold. Two such roommates were in their house, lying beside the fireplace and watching a movie. The only sources of light in that room were the TV and the fire. The shades were pulled down (not that it made any large difference, the outside was almost as dark as the inside because of the thick clouds) and all the lights were switched off.
Inside this place is warm
outside it starts to pour
Chaeyoung had her arms wrapped around Lisa. She was hardly paying attention to the movie, her eyes were fixed on Lisa, and Lisa only. She looked so pretty in the dark with the TV and the fire lighting up her face.
All Chaeyoung wanted to do at that moment, all she ever wanted to do, was express her love for Lisa. At times she wondered how she could control herself from kissing the younger’s plump lips when she was around. Sometimes she even thought maybe Lisa knew she liked her.
‘Are you done staring?’ Lisa asked out of the blue, catching the other girl off guard. Chaeyoung quickly looked at the TV, letting go of a breath she didn’t know she was holding. She heard Lisa chuckle softly and shift in her arms. ‘You don’t even try to hide it, do you?’ the younger asked as she made circular movements on Chaeyoung’s sweater with her finger.
Suddenly, she intertwined her hand with Chaeyoung’s. ‘My hands are a little cold, is this okay?’ she asked innocently, looking up at the other girl, as if she didn’t know how she made Chaeyoung feel.
Instead of answering, the older woman just nodded hastily. Lisa teasing her was a thing that happened on a daily basis now, yet it never failed to make her heart race.
So let me hold
both your hands in the holes of my sweater.
As if the situation wasn’t awkward enough (at least for Chaeyoung), Lisa had her face buried in the other woman’s neck. Chaeyoung’s mind went blank. She did not know how to respond, neither did she know what Lisa was trying to do. ‘Lily, what are you doing?’ She asked in a nervous whimper. ‘Oh don’t pretend you don’t like it. We both know how much you love me.’
‘Uhm…’ was the only thing that left Chaeyoung’s mouth. She let out a shaky breath.
And if I take your breath away
I don’t mind if there isn’t much to say
Lisa is just teasing, Chaeyoung kept repeating in her mind. She tried to act like her brain wasn’t just screaming random things. She was sure this was the peak of her anxiety, but no, Lisa had to do more.
‘Don’t you Rosie?’ The younger whispered, smirking slightly. Before Chaeyoung could answer, she pressed her lips onto the other’s. She didn’t pull away until Chaeyoung came back to her senses and responded. Their lips moved in sync, almost like they had practiced this before. Both of them could feel how much the other liked them, how much they wanted to do this since… forever.
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
Lisa pulled apart, and smiled at the sight of Chaeyoung’s face all red. She laughed softly before wrapping her arms around the latter. ‘I didn’t know you were so shy, Chae,’ she muttered, placing a soft kiss on the older’s neck, which only made Chaeyoung blush even harder.
‘I like you, Chaeyoung,’ Lisa said, burying her face in the other’s neck once again.
Chaeyoung on the other hand didn’t know what to say, she was still shocked from the kiss that happened earlier. It was like a dream to have Lisa kiss her, yet she felt every second it lasted.
Nervously, she opened her mouth to speak, but only a whimper of ‘I-I…’ left her mouth.
‘You like me too, I get it. No need to tell me something I already know.’
Chaeyoung closed her mouth. She couldn’t help but smile as she saw the figure of Lisa hugging her body. It was a thing she only ever imagined, and it was finally happening to her, she was finally able to tell Lisa she liked her (well, kind of).
Lisa fell asleep hugging Chaeyoung like a koala, but the latter couldn’t do the same. Sleep was nowhere to be found for her. Her legs and shoulder were starting to hurt from the other’s weight, but she didn’t want to wake the younger one up.
When she couldn’t take it any longer, she carried Lisa to the bedroom, but made sure she was not awake. She laid her down on the bed before laying on the bed herself. She turned to face Lisa. She looked peaceful. The moonlight shone through the window and on her face, which made her look like an angel.
Out of nowhere, Lisa too turned to face Chaeyoung, and hugged her waist like a side-pillow. It was enough to set the older one in panic mode. Though they kissed just a few hours ago, Chaeyoung was still nervous around her roommate.
Unsure of what to do, the said girl scooted closer to Lisa.
And a little closer
A little more close
She was so close now, she could feel the younger’s breath on her face. Their lips were barely touching.
The goosebump start to raise
The minute my left hand meets your waist
Somehow, Chaeyoung was able to fall asleep, but not for a very long time. She only slept for about an hour. She woke up with the angelic sight of Lisa’s sleeping face. It was still dark, but the rain had become lighter, and the sky was almost clear, making the moon shine brighter than before and light up Lisa’s face even more.
It was a beautiful sight indeed
She sighed as she looked at the clock which showed 3:07 a.m.
‘Can’t sleep?’ she heard a voice whisper, and turned around in surprise to look at a smiling Lisa. ‘How long have you been awake?’ Chaeyoung questioned.
‘I just woke up.’
‘Damn, was my sigh that loud?’
Lisa chuckled and pulled the older by her waist, leaving a quick peck on her lips. ‘Try to catch some sleep, K?’ she said, placing a hand on top of Chaeyoung’s head and hugging her.
‘I love you so much…’
Chaeyoung didn’t know how, but something about Lisa holding her while she tried to sleep soothed her, and she fell asleep quickly, fiddling with Lisa's sweater’s hem.
So let me hold
both your hands in the holes of my sweater.
