"DOLLIIEEEE!!,," cam shook their shoulders, but her touch lay as soft as before. "wake up, wake upppp!!" she giggled, and looked as dollie slowly blinked their eyes open. "mh... what is it.." they mumbled, and tried to shove her off them. "get dressed, im taking you somewhere!" she exclaimed, but jumped off their bed. "come onnn.." she wined when dollie didnt even try to move. she tugged their arm, feet dragging on the floor. "pleaseeeee..." she looked at them with puppy-dog like eyes. those eyes.. oh my. "okok just go away." they muttered, and cam skittered off like a mouse from a loud noise. they didnt mean to be rude, of course not. for they loved her. wait... they thought, where is she taking me? i thought she didnt have any money.. ugh whatever. they shoved some jorts on, and messed around with their hair until it looked somewhat presentable. they put their glasses on (after cleaning them) and walked out their room. trudging down the stairs, they saw cam pacing around, and she looked up at them. "there you are!!" she smiled and ran up to them. "yeah yeah.." they muttered as she wrapped her arms around them and gave them a kiss on the cheek. "you are awake in there?.." she asked, prodding the side of their face with her finger. "yep, totally awake." they replied, and moved out her grip to grab their keys from the side table near the door. cam floated after them, and they locked the door behind both of them. cam grabbed their hand immediately but gently, leading them to wherever she wanted to take them; it took a while but they arrived outside a café. she took them in, and asked what they wanted before going to counter. they looked around, hearing the sound of clinking plates, the coffee machine whirring, and the faint sound of cam saying the order. it was a bit too loud for their liking, plus- "dollie!" they looked over to where cam was stood, and walked a bit closer. "do you want to take the stuff back home or stay in and eat?" she asked, and they said to bring the stuff back home. she nodded, and looked back to the café worker who had heard what they said. the two of them waited at the other end for their food and drinks, and cam held their hand. they tried to hold their tears in as for some reason they were crying from the amount of noise. "dollie, you ok?" their gaze caught cam in the corner of their eye, who looked a bit concerned. they nodded, and cam gave them a quick kiss. she held their hand tighter, until after a few minutes their stuff was ready. cam grabbed the stuff, thanked the worker, and they walked out the café to head back home. dollie took a deep breath, and cam handed them their drink; a chai latte. cam herself had ordered a coffee and a slice of chocolate cake.
when they got home, dollie flopped onto the couch. "you ok?" they felt cam prod them on their shoulder. they nodded, and pushed themself up into a sitting position; they sat a bit into themself, knees pushed against their chest. cam sat down beside them. she put her drink on the table, and ate the cake happily. dollie took little sips of the latte, looking at cam. how did she always seem so perfect? dollie wasnt perfect, for sure, far from it. they blinked away the thoughts and saw cam hold the fork to their mouth, a bit of chocolate cake on it. they hesitated before eating the cake off the fork, leaving a slight chocolate icing residue on the metal. cam smiled, and gave them a big kiss on the lips. they blushed, and curled more up into themself, sipping the latte more. she laughed, and ate the rest of the cake, before drinking the coffee. "were you.. stressed in the café? i noticed you seemed tense." they were surprised, thinking she hadn't noticed, but they nodded. "yeah, sorry-" "no sorrys doll, no sorrys." cam interupted, and took a big gulp of her coffee. the nickname got them a bit off guard, but they shook it off mentally. cam had finished her drink, and leaned her head on their shoulder, holding their arm with both hands. she cuddled up to them, humming something softly. when they finished their drink, they put it on the table next to cam's empty cup. they leaned into her so their head was resting on her's, and they closed their eyes. they couldnt sleep without medicine, but it was nice like this. just like this.. until fate eventually did them over again.
