(the fanfic I wrote in a random frenzy -Ari)
She was over and chilling on the floor. The circular rug was covered in scattered essentials as she doodled on her notes various cats.
Raine was on the bed grinning into their knuckles, they’d run out of skin to doodle onto that kept with the consistent picture theme going on. Eda grinned when she noticed their staring “what?”, ginger hair cascaded as she slurped on her drink. “Nothing just watching you” Raine responded.
......
“Why didn’t you fill in your arms?” Raine looked up to the much closer eyes of Eda, ahh. “Eda! Jeez, I just didn’t get round to it markers are over there- " they started to say before being pinned down. “EEP, what are you do-" Eda shushed them, “hush you got to finish the process, it’ll annoy me otherwise.” Eda explained while leaning over Raine and grabbing the markers, she then sat crushing one of their legs, so they couldn’t escape, colouring in sunflowers along their shoulders. Raine watched the yellows and browns slowly fill the rudimentary line work. Eda’s face was focused, nose scrunched as she frantically scribbled in the doodles. It was flawed and outside the lines, but Raine loved it.
“Okay done!” Eda remarked, and Raine released a breath they were holding. “yep, arms are done.” Raine finalised, and pointedly turned away from her to awkwardly cough and release some nerves. Eva however didn’t seem to think that was final, and poked Raine again. “why did you specify arms?”, “what?” “why did you specify arms, have you doodled on your legs?”, they had but also they didn’t want to bring that up based on the mischievous glint in her eyes. “...no...”
And they shuffled to doge as Eda pounced like a fox, they were too slow on the second movement and eda grabbed their foot to pull off the red tights. “EDA!, come on leave my legs alone” they cackled as Eda tried to tickle their feet. “Nope I’ve a job to finish!” a purple marker was pulled from the pack as eda started on the lavender designs round Raines ankles. They were based off a journal eda had found at a market. They also sprawled the whole way up their thighs and then had buttercups and crocus along their hips. Let’s just say Raine found a lot of free time the other day and this was now the biggest mistake of their week. Eda was very committed to finishing the doodles and ignoring how flustered Raine was. “can’t believe how long you spent on these Raine?” Eda offered conversationally. Raine took the bait to try focus on anything but how soft Eda’s hands were on their legs and how hard they were trying not to shiver. “well yeah what can I say, got bored?”, they were going to die.
“H-hey what-" eda shoved their skirt up to their underwear lining and shoved their thighs to get to the angle she needed as Raine was crimson. Why did she do this, why the heck would this freak them out so much, would Eda just give it a rest ?!?!.
.......
Eda shoved her hair back in annoyance. “hiding anymore doodles from me?” she smirked at them. Rain looked at her ears red and mouth covered by their arm, are they alright?, “Rainstorm?” Eda pressed, “uh, uh yeah..” what? “yeah you have more doodles or yeah that’s your name?” Raine reloaded. “yes to um both but no you can’t colour those ones?” they didn’t sound sure. “and why ever not my darling chaos being?” she purred. Raine jolted with a silent squeak, “I well, just no you can’t tease me!” they argued, cute. “How would I be teasing you?, you ticklish?” “Eda!”, their accent was more noticeable when they’re irritated. “I like how you say my name.” She stumbled out, embarrassed at the quick compliment. Raine full on flushed “I- uh what, your name ?” Eda just had to commit to it now, “uh yeah your way of saying it, it sounds all fancy.” She was cringing internally now, dammit Edalyn!
.......
Raine was going to die, “um okay?” the words fell out in a panic and Raine knew they were going to think this over at 2am amongst everything else they’ve ever said. Eda leaned over them and they short circuited. “so what doodles you hiding?” Raine swore in their head. “None, that you can colour just you’re done!” they half snapped. Eda was inches from their face and they fell backward as they were straddled. “buicheas le dia eda, an bhuil tu marron me?” *(translation is roughly, jeez eda are you killing me?)* They quickly cursed out in gaeilge, Eda cocked her head to the side. “Why are you flustering me? Is this funny to you?!” they were burning red. “what’s so funny Raine?” Eda really didn’t get it???
......
“think about how you’d feel for a sec if your friend grabbed and pinned your thighs then said they liked how you said their name??” Raine said incredulously. It still wasn’t quite clicking with Eda, “what’s wrong with that- oh my god I’m sorry!” she bounced back and fell of the edge of the bed onto a floor with an “oof". Raines face followed after still dusty red and eyes wide. “are you okay?!” they squeaked. “Ow ow, yeah I’m fine” she reassured and put her hands up in surrender “sorry I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable I was just caught up in the thrill of uhm colouring?” the words sounded more ridiculous by the minute. Raines flustered gaze softened and they offered a hand to her. “I know, I mean, Its fine..” Eda gripped their arms and re-joined them on the bed. Raines skirt and shirt were rumpled from where their hands had dug in, and their eyes were darting everywhere but Eda. Oh? This was a development.
.......
Eda was smirking at them, or well maybe she always would, Raine couldn’t tell and was not making the mistake of looking at her eyes. They were far too focused anyway on keeping their breathing level after *that* incident. “so uh anyway, how are your notes going?” Eda blinked at them. “You don’t really care?” “no...” Eda gave a small smile, “is it really that strange to compliment how a person says your name?” Raine chocked, “I mean no??, but it’s not a common one?” they defended. Eda poked them, “when have I ever been common?” Raine met her gaze, “that’s true” they grinned.
.......
Eda loved their eyes. They were so clear and intense.
“Well-" she mused, “- I guess I can complement other things you do, like that fun nose scrunch..” Raine immediately complied and turned red again. “I do not-" well now or never, “uh yeah you do?” she baited, eda leaned in to boop their nose. “you’re doing it right now.” Raines eyes widened, their lips opened then closed. “I um I, I don’t think I do that-" now or never? “You do ha-ha, but its fine sure I think it’s cute.” Raine sucked in a breath. “Do you uh think I’m cute often?” Oh...
........
It was Edas turn to blush. Raine was slowly planning the distance between them and the window and the seconds droned on. “I mean, ye- yeah I think your cute but like-" Eda was rambling her sentences getting more and more fragmented as Raine watched. Did? Did Eda like them back. “You like me... too?” they sputtered out.
“Y-“ the answer died in her throat, as Eda hid under her hair. Raine felt terrified, and was about to move away when eda crushed them in a hug face smashed against their cheek. “Uh, yes! I like you.” She likes them, she likes them! Raine laughed hysterically. “You, you like me.” They laughed till the air cut out then grabbed the sides of Edas face who had hidden in their chest. “May I kiss you?”
...........
“may I kiss you?” Eda was terrified, but in true impulsive fashion she grabbed their face in turn and smashed their lips together. It was better than shed imagined, they were so soft and the way their arms moved to their lower back to further pull her in.
Eda scrambled to shove her arms into their hair and keep their faces together. Each time either of them moved her entire body lit up with sparks. This is some new drug invented by Raine to set her on fire, she broke the kiss blinked owlishly at Raine and grabbed their face to do it again.
Several minutes later they were both gasping and Raine put some distance between their faces but refused to remove their arm from Edas hip. “uh wow, ye I’m sticking with that, haha wow" they managed breathing heavy.
...........
Never mind Eda could kill them if she damn well pleased.. and Raine was going to thank her.
