‘i want the k’ ( riley pls )
Koriand’r was not particularly well-known for her gentility. Everything about her was iron and fire, salt and steel, harsh and defined and ready to strike. She was a warrior princess, a presence her foes would tremble before. No, the space princess was not best known for being soft around the edges, but even she knew that some situations called for it.
Nights like this, where Jason and Roy were so tangled up in their feelings for each other that the rest of their little squad was left on the couch with the TV turned up far too loudly to drown out the sounds of whatever might have been happening a few doors down. Nights were Riley was quiet--quieter than usual, anyway--with most of her quips gone and the fire in her eyes flickering behind burnt-out timbers. It was easy, really, to slip her hand across the faded couch cushions and gently twist her fingers between the other girl’s. Easier, still, to slowly move her way down the couch, closer and closer until one arm was around Riley’s shoulders and their fingers were still twined together and they looked more like a living pretzel than two women.
Some people, when they broke, revealed crushed-up insides and shaking knees, an inability to stand on their own. Other people broke like glass, sharp and jagged and ready to fight. Roy was the former, Kori was the latter, and in all her life, she had never met someone who fell in between. Until Riley.
It started with a kiss to the side of her head, fingers dragging long, lazy lines along tanned legs, all touches absent, thoughtless. But they certainly caught Riley’s attention, her head half-turning, eyes catching hold of Kori’s with a kind of vulnerability that ‘melted her heart’, as Roy had once put it. The next decision wasn’t even a decision at all, but the natural next step. To lean forward, to press her lips against the ones waiting for her, to cup the back of Riley’s head and let her fingers tangle in the brunette hair at the base of her neck and just breathe in the beautiful woman in her arms.
A parting of lips, Kori pulling back for just a moment to give Riley a kiss on the nose, to hold her close once again, with the thought of kissing her again lingering prominently in the corners of her mind.
