The door to Aegon's room creeped open.
"Aegon, did you eat my takeout leftovers?" He looks up at her from his phone, sprawled up on his messy bed between the pillows. "Umm, no? I haven't.. I'd never do that." He says it with that sweet tone of his, no wonder so many girls in school are absolutely drooling over him. "Aegon, there is no one else living with us." Her tone indicated that she wasn't in a playful mood. He cleared his throat slightly and his eyes diverted somewhere else, feeling the need to change the subject, trying to hide the fact that he ate her food without even asking. But sometimes you just are too lazy to cook and it's not like he does this all the time. He gives a small guilty smile before speaking.
"So, uh, How was your night?" Is this what he uses on all those girls he takes home as a one-time-thing? "Well not good, I wanted to go shopping tomorrow, but because you ate my dinner and there isn't anything else besides the frozen fries." He felt sorry for eating her food and not even trying to hide it. He sits up and runs his hair through his white messy waves. God, how can he be so perfect without even trying? "I'm sorry. I was hungry and..."
"You could have ordered something of your own." He hesitates for a moment. Knowing that she's right and he's about to get scolded. She can't really help it when her eyes travel south to the little bit of skin just above his waistband when he stretches and his t-shirt moves up. "I'm sorry, I know... I should have chosen something else. I was just hungry and it was right there." "That was my cheat-day food. Aegon-" she whined. Aegon felt a tad bit guilty now and let out a sigh. The look on his face said it all, despite his best efforts to look casual and innocent. He crosses his arms and steps closer to her. She had to look up a bit to be able to look him in the eye. He probably did it on purpose. There were moments like this when she wasn't sure if moving with her best friend's brother to save money was the greatest idea.
"I'll order you some takeout. To make it up to you. Just say what you want, doll." Is he trying to sweet me up with those words? "Forget it, maybe it's for the best. It wasn't healthy anyway..." She said that more to herself than him. I had half of the fried noodles yesterday, that's more than enough. He gives her a small nod but he disagrees, the guilty look still on his face. "No, no, now I feel bad, let me get you something. Do you have any cravings?"
"Ummm no, I think I will just skip dinner." She crosses her arms and slightly shifts her weight from one leg to the other. Aegon frowns slightly. "I don't think that's good for you. Are you sure you don't want any food? "It's fine, I had a pretty big lunch..." He doesn't believe it and it's rather obvious. He sighs. "Are you certain?" "Yeah, but could you go buy eggs and spinach for tomorrow?"He looks out of the window for a moment to hide his frown and then nods his head. "Yes, of course. Shall I get some yogurt as well?" "Sure, but just the plain one." He stands up and smiles. He grabs his wallet and keys.
"I'll be back soon."
She nods and waits until he's gone before she takes out the swimsuit she bought last year and puts it on in front of the mirror. I have definitely got chubbier since last year... She turns around a bit to see the bottoms digging into the skin just above her thighs. She stands there for a moment nit picking at every defect she never seemed to notice before. Were my knees this crooked? I have giant thighs and no calves. She eventually pulls out the scale and stands on it, her gaze shifting between the number on the scales and her own hated reflection.
Aegon, after finishing buying all the groceries, comes back home. He notices her standing by the mirror and stares at her with a confused look on his face, trying to figure out what's wrong. "You okay?" He puts down the groceries and comes closer to her and places a hand on her shoulder. She lets out a sigh. "They don´t fit me anymore...She says moving the sides of her bikinis up on her hips." It didn't make them fit better or make her look thinner, it just rubbed in the sensitive creases of her skin.
Aegon was surprised, he had a feeling that this moment would come but he was hoping it wouldn't. He sighs as well but tries to cheer her up. The last thing he'd want to do is make her feel bad about herself. "No, no... you just... gained a little weight, that's it. It's common in women and nothing to worry about."
"They fit me last year."
He sighs again and steps away from her. He feels sorry for the position she's going through. "Yes... but it's natural, you know? Your body... It will change after time."
"Yeah, but like, I have been trying everything- not to mention this - the stretch marks, and just how irritated my skin gets in the inner thighs when I shave. just- everything is wrong." I never had a good body image in my head but it always gets worse in summer.
Aegon steps closer to her again and puts a hand on her arm gently. He looks at her with a soft smile, trying to comfort her and he shakes his head. "Everything is not wrong. Everything is fine. It's... I know it may be hard to accept how your body is changing... normal. But it is and... It's beautiful."
"I didn't have stretch marks last year- well i did but they weren't this visible."
Aegon places a hand on her other arm, squeezing it gently. Listen to me. "Your body changed. I know. But it's beautiful. Those stretch marks, they're nothing to be ashamed of, I promise. They're completely normal and I know how hard it is to accept it but it is completely normal."
"It's just- I feel like I don´t look good in any of my summer clothes."
He smiles at her and brushes a bit of hair out of her face. Please, don't say those things. "You're so pretty. It doesn't matter if you don't fit into your old swimsuit. I mean... I'll gladly give you my opinion on you in a swimsuit. – I think you look gorgeous."
"I look like a pear." She replied slightly frowning.
Aegon looked at her, his smile turning into a light smirk. "No, you don't. I'm not denying that you might be thicker than last year, but... I like the thickness. I like your shape. Your curves, your body. I genuinely think that you look gorgeous."
"It all jiggles when I walk."
He shrugs. "What's wrong with that? It's cute, I'd say."
"No it's not, the bottoms ride up between my cheeks when I walk."
He tries his best to hide his blush and keeps a straight face. "I'm sure that the view is still nice."
She lets out a sigh and looks back at her roomate. "I was home for the weekend and my mom found some of her old clothes she wanted to give me – and then she just had to comment on it. I don´t know if you would fit into them, I was more fit when I was your age – Like what does she want from me?"
Aegon sighs. "Listen, I think your mom doesn't mean any harm, she just... doesn't know how to phrase her words. You should be proud of how you look and not let your mom make you feel bad about how you look. You're gorgeous, with your body and curves and especially with those stretchmarks. It's all natural and I think it makes you look stunning."
She slightly grips the mass of her thighs. "I don't know Aegon." He puts his hands on her hips. "Listen to me. Those stretch marks aren't unattractive. They do not make your body look worse. They're... something completely natural. Something that shows that you're a real woman. That you have curves. That you're stunning. Do you understand?"
"I just don't like them, and how it all jiggles."
Aegon moves her hands away from her thighs and holds her arms gently. "Yes but... That doesn't mean that they aren't attractive. It's a good jiggle. A sexy jiggle, I'd say." She blushes at his words, it's nice to get some reassurance once in a while.
Aegon takes notice of how she blushes and gently rubs her hand, hoping to make her feel better, or at least not make her feel worse. He then smiled reassuringly. "Don't let your mother or anyone else tell you anything. Don't let them say anything about your body- because it's beautiful and perfect the way it is. Nothing wrong with it." She hesitantly smiles at him. "It's just like - all the stuff I feel like I have to do, like shaving and in two days it's all back and my entire leg's skin is just irritated."
Aegon nods his head, noticing her facial expression as she explains her issues. His hand rests on her arm, not letting go of it, looking at her with a concerned look in his eyes. "I know. I can only imagine how that must be. But I just want you to feel good about yourself. If you keep on hating the way you look, you'll always be hating yourself, and that can't be good for you."
She looks up at him, he's right but sometimes she just doesn't feel that way.
Aegon looks back at her with a warm smile and an encouraging look in his eyes. He wants to keep comforting her and make sure she knows that she can always talk to him if she wants to, or at least to vent her frustrations. He's always here for her, he'll always be here for her. He'll always support her no matter what, no matter how. He wants to keep making her feel better about her body, make her feel good about herself. He's willing to do everything in his power to do that.
She pulls him into a little hug, that definitely feels a bit intimate given that he is fully dressed and she is wearing a bikini. Aegon wraps his arms around her, giving her a tight hug. He feels her body warmth pulsing against him because of the bikini but chooses to ignore it, just wanting her to feel hugged and cared for. He rubs her back with his hands and keeps the hug until he feels that she might let go, at which point he eases up a bit on his grip, but doesn't let go completely.
His hand keeps lightly jiggling her hip around, enough to make the skin bounce a little bit.
"Stop it."
Another grin appears on his face "Why?"
His hand continues to do the movement, he watches her expression, enjoying how She's getting red with each move he makes.
"I feel like jello."
He chuckles. "Like jello?"
He increases the movements slightly, the small bounces are more apparent now. "You don't like when they sway like that?"
"Not really."
He chuckles softly. "You can't deny that there is something feminine about it."
His hand is still moving slowly, kneading her hips and upper thighs.
"Ah yes, the childbearing hips." She says ironically. A small chuckle comes out of him as well Yeah, exactly.
“No but really Aeg-, I don't like it.”
“Why? You are pretty.”
“I don't feel like It, I have stretch marks all over my sides and just hate the way my skin gets irritated around my groin and thighs from rubbing against eachother.”
Aegon gave her a little loop sided smile and picked up a lotion.
“Allow me to help you then.”
She didn't exactly protest but she didn't cooperate either. She just let him slowly work the lotion all over her legs and sides. He kept rubbing the lotion on her thigh, and his hands moved slightly up, a few centimeters away from sliding inside the bikini line.
"Aeg-" she basically whispered, tensing up a bit. The touch felt intimate to her. He had to chuckle and let his typical sly grin slip. "Come on, I still have a little bit to cover..." He starts slowly sliding his hands along her hips, his fingers getting within the line of the bikini now. She stuttered slightly, his hands were so soft and his touch gentle. The tip of his fingers ran along the very edge of her bikini line, so close to going underneath it. She had to focus on her own breathing to keep it together. Her shaky breath turns into a little sweet gasp as his hand dips lower. He couldn't help himself from letting out a small chuckle at her pure reaction. Who would have thought - she was brushing red. His smile grew wider at her reaction, his fingers now going further and further into the line of her bikini. She whispered his name a few times like some of his previous girls did. It was like a silk caress to the soul. He looked down at her while he pushed his hand lower, testing the waters further.
"Ah!"
"See? It's not that bad is it?"
"We are roommates."
He smirks and looks away so he can answer properly. "I know we are roommates, but you cannot deny there's a certain tension between us, can you?"
His fingers run a little bit up under her bikini line. Running them gently up and down over her underbelly.
"Well your hand is in my bikini bottoms, and I haven't stopped you yet." She felt like thinking was harder now then even before, he was looking down on her and his breath ran across her face and he was looking at her with those half closed violet eyes. Absolutely impossible to think about anything rational. He noticed how her breathing picked up on pace and her hands got a little bit shaky.
"Do you want me to stop?"
He says while moving his hand back up.
"No"
He chuckles softly. It's such a nice sound and the feeling that makes it ring in my bones is even better.
"Then do I have your permission... to go a little bit further?
"Yes"
His eyes grow a little brighter, and he can feel his heartbeat growing faster as well. He moves his hand back to its original place, gently touching her skin underneath the bikini, feeling the warmth. His fingers run slowly along her skin.
"Aegon"
With his hand still moving on her thigh, he slowly starts to talk to her in a voice that sounds slightly deeper. Moving closer to her, to whisper into her ear.
"Just say the words..."
His fingers keep running up and down her thigh, his touch becoming a bit more daring each time.
"Please, kiss me first."
It was a little burst of courage on her part. He stops for a moment, stunned a little bit. He lets out a small breath of air, his hand still on her thigh.
"It's too late to take it back now…”
He slightly smiles and looks at her with this enchanting expression, and leans down so he can kiss her. Brushing her hair out of her face. She pulls his face closer to hers by his wild locks of hair before she kisses him back. His kisses are like a familiarity of something you have never experienced but secretly yearned for. His hands now moving freely back underneath her bikini line, touching her bare skin. He breaks the kiss after an endless moment. she looks up at his lips and then eyes.
"I get it..."
His hair is slightly disheveled, his breath is a little haste, his face is red, but he still looks at her with that cheeky look in his eyes.
"Get what?"
"Why are they all over heels for you"
He chuckles as a small grin appears on his face.
"You mean why are all girls who know me crushing over me?" Confident as ever. She kissed him again. She knew her remark definitely stroked his ego, but she could care less that he would eventually bring that up again. He kisses her back, not letting go of the opportunity to let his hands roam freely around her body, just enjoying the moment at its fullest. Aegon eventually pulls away, but his hand stays on her hips. She bit her lip as he was looking down at her with those half lidded eyes. One of his hands continued to roam freely over her waist, and he moved his face slightly closer to hers again. This time, he moves his lips against hers for a longer time than before, enjoying the moment for a good while. When they separate, he's panting a little, she can already notice how faster his breath is. She bashfully smiles.
“I think I like you like this even more.”
