it starts with a text that comes in when you’re not really doing anything important.
allie: hey iconnn, movie night?
you stare at it for a second longer than you should, sitting cross-legged on your bed, then type back without thinking too hard about it.
you: you don’t even ask anymore 🙄
allie: because you always say yes
and you hate that she’s right.
there’s a knock at your door not long after, a little impatient like she already knows you’re going to open it anyway.
when you do, allie is standing there like she’s trying not to smile too obviously. she’s got snacks in both hands, shifting them slightly when she sees you like she suddenly remembers she’s supposed to act normal.
“hey,” she says, softer than the text messages were.
you step aside. “you’re acting like this is a planned event.”
“it is,” she says, walking past you like she’s already decided where she’s going. “you just didn’t know about it.”
you let out a quiet breath that almost turns into a laugh and close the door behind her. she moves into your room without hesitation, setting the snacks down and glancing around like she already belongs there.
you notice her hair first. down, a little messy, falling into her face in a way she keeps brushing back without noticing she’s doing it.
she catches you looking and her eyebrows lift slightly. “what.”
you shake your head a little too fast. “nothing.”
when time passes you guys are now sitting on your bed watching mamma mia.. it’s a classic and a musical something you both love and happily agreed on.
the movie keeps going but neither of you are really watching it anymore. it’s still playing, still filling the room with noise, but it feels distant now, like it belongs to something else entirely.
allie shifts slightly beside you, not enough to feel deliberate, just enough that the space between you changes without either of you acknowledging it. her shoulder brushes yours again and this time it doesn’t feel accidental in the way it probably is.
a few seconds pass like that, quiet in a way that feels heavier than it should. allie tilts her head a little toward you, eyes drifting off the screen like she’s already forgotten it’s even playing. she looks at you a second too long, like she’s thinking something she hasn’t said yet, and when she finally talks it’s quieter, like she’s not really saying it to the room at all.
“you’re pretty good at this,” she says.
you glance at her a little slowly, like you didn’t expect that. “at what.”
she makes a small, vague motion between the two of you, the bed, the movie, like she’s not even sure how to explain it properly. “this. just… being you.”
that makes you look away before you mean to, like it landed too close to something you don’t usually let people touch. your fingers tighten slightly in the blanket without you noticing at first, and when you finally speak your voice is quieter than before.
“that’s a weird thing to say,” you admit, not really looking at her when you say it.
allie just shrugs a little, still looking at you instead of the screen. “it’s true though.”
there’s a pause after that not empty… just slower. like even the room feels like it’s moving a little differently now.
you shift a little, adjusting like you suddenly forgot how to sit still, and she notices. of course she does. her knee nudges yours lightly again, not pulling away this time, just staying there like it belongs.
“you’re not even watching the movie,” you say quietly, more just to say something than because it really matters.
allie hums like she’s thinking about it, but she doesn’t look away from you. “neither are you.”
you let out a small breath through your nose, almost a laugh, but it doesn’t fully come out. “you’re really distracting,” you say, softer than you liked.
“me?” she asks, like she’s offended, but there’s a smile in it now. “you’re the one looking at me.”
you glance at her properly then, and she’s already looking back, closer now without either of you really deciding it happened. her expression isn’t teasing anymore, not really. it’s quieter, more steady, like she’s waiting for something she hasn’t said yet.
“what?” you murmur, because you can feel the shift even if you don’t know what to call it.
“nothing,” she says again, but she doesn’t look away.
and that’s the problem.. because nothing about her feels like nothing right now.
there’s a beat where the movie changes scenes and neither of you react at all. the sound keeps going but it might as well not exist.
allie leans in just slightly, not closing the distance fully, just enough that you feel it. her voice drops when she speaks again, softer now, like she’s not trying to interrupt anything anymore.
“you know..” she paused. “you’re really pretty,” she says.
it lands differently this time. slower. heavier. not like a comment, more like something she didn’t mean to hold in.
you go still for a second, not dramatic, just caught. your eyes flick down briefly, then back up, and there’s a small, nervous smile that slips in before you can stop it, like your body reacted before your brain caught up.
“you can’t just say that,” you say quietly, but it doesn’t really come out sharp like you wanted it to, it came out shy instead.
allie watches you like she’s trying to figure out why that reaction matters to her more than it should. “why not?” she asks.
you hesitate, shifting a little closer without realizing you’re doing it. “because it makes me feel like i have to say something back,” you admit, voice low now, a little more honest than you probably meant it to be.
that makes her expression change slightly, like she wasn’t expecting that answer at all. she doesn’t push it though, just nods a little like she’s taking it in.
“you don’t have to,” she says, after a second. “i just think it.”
that does something worse, honestly, because it’s even quieter now, even more real, and there’s nowhere to hide it.
you glance at her for a second too long, then away, then back again, like you’re trying to figure out what you’re supposed to do with the space between you.
“you’re pretty too,” you say, and it comes out softer than everything else, like you didn’t fully decide to say it before it happened.
allie goes still for a moment, just looking at you like she’s letting it sit there between you, then she shifts a little closer without really thinking about it.
her hand is already there before you fully notice it, resting lightly on your thigh, like it didn’t need permission so much as confirmation, and you don’t move away from it. you just look at her instead.
the movie keeps playing behind you both, completely forgotten now, like it was never really part of the night to begin with.
her voice drops, barely there when she speaks. “can i kiss you?” but there’s no joke in it or teasing. just her, asking.
you nod once, small. “yeah.”
she leans in slowly, like she’s giving you every chance to stop her, and you don’t.
the kiss starts soft at first, kind of careful in a way that feels almost unfamiliar, like neither of you really trusts it yet or wants to rush into something you can’t take back. there’s a second where it just lingers like that, close but still hesitant, like you’re both waiting to see what the other does.
and you guys can’t pull away from the kiss.. or maybe you just don’t want too but just like that.. the night goes on.
