“Wha— how— why?!” Delilah’s eye bulged in astonishment. She’d been great friends with Andy for years now and not once had she noticed that she did not eat chocolate. “You poor child! Why?” She said while digging out cookies to hand to Andy. 

“Because of what chocolate is.” She laughed, amused by her old friend’s expression. Andy was a fitness freak when it came to her diet and sure, it had slacked after she’d broken her leg but she was still careful. “One, stop calling me child and two, I’m fine. I can do without.”

It wasn’t to the level of their household’s Halloween bash, but Val had attracted a decent-sized group of friends to her place for New Year’s Eve. It was far more intimate and her musical suggestions of playing some throwback 90s R&B had been (rightfully) ignored in favor of something a little more mellow and festive. She’d pulled herself away from a round of Yahtzee (losing twice in a row sucked, okay?) and found Andy in the living room. Val sat crookedly on the arm of the couch next to her, fingers tugging at the sleeve of Andy’s shirt. She’d had a large glass of wine and not much else that night, so a comfortable warmth was spreading through her. She was surrounded by friends, actual friends and not just strangers who’d wandered in through her front door. 

“Hi,” she murmured, leaning over Andy so she could set down her glass. “…I have stuff to say.” Her voice was firm, assured as she straightened, looking down at the other. “I kept my mouth shut for a really long time, you know? Like super long. I was good. Saint-like. I was waiting for you to bring it up… and then I realized that I should just step up and say what I want to say. Leadership.” The candid words tumbled out easily. She hadn’t intended on bringing this up on New Year’s Eve but if not now then when? Val had certainly had the words swirling in her mind long enough. ”I don’t want to be someone you fuck with only when you need it, or when it’s some holiday and I look hot. So you have to figure out what you want. It’s kind of an all or nothing thing.” Ultimatums weren’t fun but at least she would know. She liked to think she could handle a straightforward rejection.

New Years Eve had always been a strange time for the Thomas family. Usually the early evening consisted of a dinner that they were all instructed to attend. From there they’d proceed to reflect on the year that had passed and her mother would ask for blessings for each of them in turn. This year there had been no reflection around the Thomas family table. Her mother had dragged one of her brothers along to help with an event she was hosting at the restaurant and her eldest brother and father had both disappeared out of state to deal with their own work related woes. Andy would have been alone in the house had it not been for one of the people she was truly the most grateful for in 2016. Valerie. One of the owners of the flat she was currently residing in and had been doing so for...months now. As she listened to the voices from the kitchen that sounded elated and full of joy she allowed herself to just relax and lean back with a glass of vodka and orange juice in her hand in the surprisingly almost empty living room. It seemed Yahtzee attracted a real crowd. She was a little shocked when Val clambered up beside her and without even thinking twice she tucked her phone away and diverted her attention. She was only listening to how good of a night all the soccer girls were having in Charlotte anyway.

“It didn’t sound a victory in there, Cap.” She remarked softly as Val leant across to set her glass down but it appeared there would be no discussion of party games because Val’s next comment set in abruptly. I have stuff to say. We need to talk. The mere implication of such statements made Andy’s palms sweat. And then more words began to fall and her heart quickened. It took physical willpower to not squirm in her seat. Andrea Thomas knew girls but she didn’t know how to be with girls. She’d cut anything down at the first tremblings of feelings or emotions but not with Val. Nothing was the same with Val. But it did appear Andy wasn’t the only one who had found her mind full of thoughts of the other....even when they weren’t in direct vicinity or curled up close in bed - a habit that had developed since that night. “Right there. Girl power. Leadership. Cool.” She interjected, instantly hating the dryness in her mouth. And as if the first part of Val’s words hadn’t caused her enough nervousness....the worst was yet to come. An ultimatum that hit Andy square in the chest. “Val...” She sighed, staring for a few long moments in to her glass before she set it down, nearly knocking her crutches over in the process. She’d forgone the boot for the night in exchange for the crutches that now felt like extended limbs. “I don’t know...” She began but bit back her words as hard as they fell. It was almost midnight...why couldn’t they have just smiled and laughed and not...spoken about feelings?

“I don’t know how to do....feelings. I don’t know how to do relationships. I don’t even know....” She pulled at a piece of fabric in the ripped knees of her jeans. But she did know how she felt about Val and it terrified her because she didn’t know how. “You are so...special to me and I know that you’re not just...” The words were stiff and difficult but they were honest. “You’re not just a fuck. If you were I would have done it before I fucked everything up with my leg but now you’re...” Perfect. Beautiful. Too good for me. “You’re not even gonna give me time to think about this are you? It’s all or nothing right now...before the year rolls over.”

“Well he’s definitely number one in my heart.” she smiled and looked at her new pet. “Ew, turtles don’t wear clothes, don’t be ridiculous, Andy” she wrinkled her nose. “Okay, enough about me, how are you doing? Haven’t seen you i ages? Anything exciting?”

“That was actually one of the most precious things I’ve ever seen. I can feel the love between you already. And hey, turtles can wear clothes if they want. Dogs do.” She said insistently before smiling wide and giving a small shrug of her shoulders. “It has been a while. A broken leg doesn’t really make for a good opening at all the parties.” She chuckled, lifting the dumb boot on her foot. “Still struggling on with college....meeting nice people. Boring stuff.”

taylor-carson:

“Of course!” Taylor answered, followed by a soft ‘duh’ noise from her full lips. Her blue gaze wandering downward when the other’s did, Taylor saw the boot on the woman’s ankle for the second time, frowning that nothing seemed to have improved yet. “I think that’s an excellent resolution,” the blonde reassured with a gentle smile. “One that I think will be easy to reach, so you might want to think on a bigger scale,” Taylor hummed. “ – Say, getting back on the team and striving toward a professional career again?” The socialite knew that Andy had been pessimistic about her future the last time the two spoke.

“My phsyio told me to only take baby steps without it. I think my physio is a self-righteous prick.” She stated simply but the smile on her face that Taylor’s words had caused was that of someone who hadn’t ever been hurt....who hadn’t ever considered their one dream being crushed. A childlike innocence. “My season is over. I lost my chance to play with my team in the final of the cup...but I’m not gonna stop striving.” She dipped her head a little and looked at her hands. “I’m also uh...gonna make a resolution to try and be more honest about feelings. I think those are harder than broken bones.”

de-de-lilah:

Delilah rolled her eyes before responding to her friend, “listen child honey, life is about the small things,” she bit into a cookie. “… and of course that’s what you do with them — wait! Have you ever had an Oreo Andy?” Delilah’s eyes widened in fascination. 

“Enjoy the little things? That sounds like something my dad would say.” She laughed, rolling her eyes in a playful manner as Delilah enjoyed her cookie. “I’ve never actually had an oreo. I’ve barely eaten chocolate since I started...high school I think.”

[andythomasx]

de-de-lilah:

“Whoever invented Oreos is, really, a pure genius — Now, if only I can get some water to go with.”

“Have I ever told you that you get really excited about really small things? And please tell me the water isn’t for dipping them...Isn’t that what people do with oreos? Dip them?”

valerie-ck:

Val’s comment about finally get to see what Andy looked like when she came made her cheeks burn hotter than before. Andy didn’t exactly know what she looked like and she hadn’t really been aware of any vocal force before Val had started touching her but here she was...trying to regain her breathing in the wake of it all with Valerie’s safe arms around her small body. Usually she considered herself a force of dominance but for once in her life she let herself feel little. She wouldn’t go as far as to say she was willingly vulnerable but she was willingly...bare to the sensitivity of the situation. And then the tone changed from burning cheeks and soft jokes and grew more sincere. As Val whispered words of reassurance Andy felt the weight of the world slip away and all feelings of being bare evaporated before her. She felt protected and reassured because nothing Val had ever said had given her reason to be doubtful. If Val said she was okay then she was okay. If Val believed that she should get through all of this then Andy would continue to storm forward and let the negative thoughts fall away. She still had a mountain to climb but the view would be breathtaking from the top. 

“I’m not tired.” She whispered eventually, her body relaxing even more when her hand was taken. She’d never really held anyone’s hand before. Certainly not in public and never really as a habit but the action seemed...warm. It was like Val was holding her in place against her so she didn’t fall away. “I-I am good. That was...well, yeah....” She added quickly before finally breathing in deep and lowering herself back on to the bed sheets. They were cool against her warm flesh but the temperature went unvoiced as she just looked up at Valerie. Tentatively she reached up and pushed some hair from her face, offering a faint smile that bordered on grateful. “I don’t think I’ve felt this good in a long while, Cap...” She admitted, thoughts crossing her mind about repaying the favour but in the moment of calm she just let herself take in Val’s features. “You were almost better than you’d thought you’d be.” She whispered, knowing she couldn’t remain serious for long. “Kidding...” She said quickly before easing herself up once more and pressing their lips firmly together.

tessaeames:

“I think I’d burn into flames if I stepped into a church” Tessa chuckled, “Hey you know I sell to your friends on discount rate just because they know you” she smiled, “And okay okay, I guess I could splash on a cage, after all, I wanna show Marcus I actually care about him.”

“And I think I’d feel awfully uncomfortable too. I’m much more of a make an offering at a shrine kinda person.” Andy retorted with a cheeky smile before she simply rolled her eyes at the ‘sweet gesture’ Tessa made for her friends. “Look at me getting my friends illegal perks just because I’m hot. What a day to be alive.” She joked before sighing softly. “You need to make Marcus feel like the best damn dude ever. Maybe buy him something nice to wear.”

[andythomasx]

tessaeames:

“Oh good idea, was actually thinking of buying one, but getting it for free sounds better, and more fun. Wanna help me?” Tessa smiled at the other, though she and Andy were very different but there was something about the brunette that made Tessa feel like Andy was one of a few people she could call her friends.

“You were actually thinking about buying one? Excuse me while I consider marching you to the local church and announcing redemption.” Andy teased and then leant over and placed her hand on Tessa’s arm, giving it a small squeeze. “And no, I can’t help with any theft but I can help you find a cheap one so you don’t have to spend all that money you get off my friends.”

taylor-carson:

“I know it may be cliché, but I really do want to start eating healthier and living in the moment,” Taylor told the other with optimism. “What about you? What’s your New Years resolution?”

“Do people still make those?” Andy asked quietly before smiling at Taylor and shrugging her shoulders. “I’m glad you’re looking forward to seizing the day though. I think everyone should do that. As for me...I guess my resolution is to...” She looked down at the boot around her ankle, frowning lightly. “Is it a resolution to say that I’m gonna kick a soccer ball again? I mean...I’m already in excellent shape. Minus the healing leg.”

“Andy!” she smiled at the other , “Because that’s my niche - illegal and weird.” she said with a big grin on her face, “But isn’t he cute? I just saw him in that pet shop and couldn’t help myself, also the stupid cashier there couldn’t care less for the animals, I bet she saw me take him but said nothing.”

“Illegal and weird. Sure.” Andy snorted, rolling her eyes a little at the younger woman. She’d seen her around a lot and they’d bumped in to each other at many of the campus parties but her teammates definitely knew her for one of her niches. “I don’t think he should work around animals if he doesn’t care. But he’s also....cute....I guess. You gonna steal a tank now, trouble?”

valerie-ck:

It all felt like a dream to Andy as the edges of her vision began to blur. All she knew as the pleasure grew and grew was that it was getting very hard to breathe and also that Valerie Campos-Kennedy was exceptional with her hands. She only really had one source of comparison but Val’s entire being drew something from inside Andy that she’d never been willing to express before: feelings. Feelings alongside sex. Before she’d only been able to see the physical and although some of the girls she’d slept with had been her close friends it didn’t meant they’d even trod the line of romance. Andy didn’t even really know how to be romantic. She didn’t like romantic films and she wasn’t sure how many roses one should put in a bouquet. Her parents were very much in love and she’d heard the story of how her father had fallen for the quick talking resilient Indian woman more than several times in her lifetime. So when she felt the tension in her body reach a breaking point she aimed so hard to fixate on Val’s gaze but the overwhelming pleasure prevented her from keeping anything steady. Distantly but so vividly she felt Val’s breath on her cheeks and felt every sensory edge of her touch and by the time her chest had stopped heaving she was still not completely there. 

No one had ever given her an orgasm before. No one had ever seen her body writhing and voicing pleasure. No one made her tremble with such simple touches. It was just Val right now. Val who was watching her with those goddamn beautiful eyes and such an endearing, sensitive touch. Her world was still fuzzy at the edges and she wasn’t sure she could feel her thighs but when Val pressed her fingers to her mouth she attentively parted her lips and accepted them against her tongue. It seemed to resonate with her now - having Val’s fingers offer her something. She basked in the pace of the kiss, slowly regaining her awareness and when Val spoke she just whined and shook her head. Her body was slowly beginning to cool and she felt little prickles of sensitivity across her collar bone. She was entirely bare. Freshly fucked and entirely bare in Valerie’s bed. Suddenly she was far too aware of herself and she lurched herself upward, shielding her face as far as she possibly could in Val’s neck. It dawned on her very hesitantly that more than anything she was feeling an emotion she was used to either: nervousness. Nervousness about Val being able to see her body this way. She was vulnerable like this with her dumb broken leg and still twitching bare body. But Val had taken all of it. She’d looked at it with such....want and it was this reassuring thought that made her nudge her nose to Val’s jaw, still keeping her face mostly hidden. “No one has...” She paused and licked her lips. “Made me feel quite so good.” She almost cringed at her words and took in a deep breath. She didn’t even realise that she was gripping to Val’s back; like a slightly scared kitten extending its tiny claws. “B-but you know...its uh....been a while. Not like I can just you know....get myself off right here next to you in bed....” And there it was....a smile smile creeping back across her lips because this....despite all the pain....felt easy.

cameronxgraham:

Cameron simply rolled her eyes when she realized who the unsuspecting person was. Any nonexistent worry just slipped from her. “Well, I’m not in the back of limo right now– so no,” she smirked, thinking back to her prom. She and her then asshole boyfriend had done the whole prom thing in style. Even down to the sex aspect– thankfully their first time had been long before that night. Drunk dick was never a good thing in a limousine, or ever. “You don’t look so bad yourself. You’re about a seven right now. Where’s your girl,” she asked, looking around not having the faintest clue who. She just remembered their quite sad conversation.

Andy smiled more fondly than she thought was ever possible as she looked at Cameron. She didn’t know whether it was the jest that was constantly tangled in to their conversation or the easy on the eyes sight of her old friend before her but there was...something. “A seven, huh? I’ll take a seven. But uh...my girl? I don’t really have one...you know me...” She answered with a stiff sadness before she shook her head and perked up again instantly. She knew what she’d told Cam and she’d meant it but things had changed. She certainly wasn’t still looking at the girl that wasn’t hers the same. “Where’s yours? I’m sure she looks a billion bucks. I can’t even make a joke about that...”
