TW: Just a bunch of fluff and probably no plot, some angst and profanity.
Today was anything but an easy day for Lila. Just as always in these days, something just had to happen to her for no reason. It was absolutely Hell sometimes, always driving her mad.
Today was not as different as the others, well. A little bit. Her son's ugly doll came to life and tried to kill her and anyone else it made contact with. Even almost called her a bitch too before she sent the thing cooking alive. And then Jaune came in out of nowhere and decided to bring another doll... Which they had to burn as well. Now her oven was going to smell like burned plastic for at least a month. It was going to take forever to get rid of... Damn it.
At least that doll was gone and her son was probably not going to get another one ever again. That was a start, but she felt like she was going to cry or lose her mind if another bad thing happened tonight. She just wanted a break, some time to recover and to spend with her son and the other people she loved. She didn't want another demon possessed exterminator showing up, or a possessed doll, or a rat or that immortal cop that wanted to kill her or anything like that happening again. She really didn't. She just wanted some peace. Yet even that felt like it was impossible to get. Especially on a particular night like this.
Which was weird that Jaune out of people wanted to stay. With her, right after such a traumatic event like this. Lila knew Jaune always wanted to stay with Lila so she could kiss and hug her all night (Jaune said it was her favorite hobby). But she didn't understand why she wanted to do that now, when there was nothing to drink but spoiled milk and the house overall was too messy for guests to be here. Lila loved Jaune a lot but sometimes she just didn't understand her thinking and why the blonde wanted to do something equivalent to going to a cockroach infested hotel room or the beat up house from Fight Club.
But Lila couldn't really fight it or anything. Jaune made her decision clearly and Lila couldn't do much besides accept it. Which is perfectly fine, she didn't mind Jaune around. She was happy Jaune was here, that meant things were feeling less like a chaotic mess where anything could happen to some order. Some peace and quiet, maybe even rest and some escape from all the responsibilities and terrible paranormal activity that being a single mom and living in this town offered. And Jaune offered that, Jaune offered all of that plus the love and affection that she hadn't gotten in decades. Lila knew for a reason that she and Jaune would be like this. They were friends for a long time, ever since they were in diapers probably. And since high school they felt even closer.
Them being in love wasn't something unexpected or a surprise. It was the opposite. It was something completely expected and exciting just to think about. And Lila just felt her heart melt whenever she saw Jaune with her blonde hair and beautiful eyes, but that was small compared to her sweet albeit very chaotic nature. The one that knew she could go around and spread a little havoc but also cared about almost anyone around her at that moment. She was always the one to call you girl or hot stuff while also being willing to hit a guy with a steel chair for being rude and unfair to people. She could hurt you really well as much as she could comfort you and play with her hair. She was everything Lila could have asked for in a girlfriend. And sometimes Jaune reminded Lila of herself in some way.
It was almost midnight, Lila didn't have any work for the next couple of days and it seemed that Jaune didn't have much work to do either. Because as soon as Lila went into her room and sat on her bed Jaune followed her all the way and sat down next to her, scooting to the point their legs were touching a little bit. Jaune then gently grabbed Lila's hand and held in hers, rubbing it with her thumb as she stared at it. Lila let it happened, she sort of expected it.
She knew Jaune always wanted to touch Lila like she would disappear if she didn't. Jaune would hold Lila's head or rest her head against Lila's shoulder. Very small things, sometimes Jaune would hug her from behind. It was a very cute albeit sometimes annoying behavior. And Lila kind of encouraged it, as she was extremely touch starved herself... Her husband's death made her want to hug anyone almost all the time. Jaune helped her with that very well because she couldn't help but just cuddle with Lila all the time. It was like Lila was Jaune's lifeline or something. Sometimes it was. Lila felt the same way too, Jaune was the only woman which she could depend on sometimes.
"Why are you always so clingy Jaune?" Lila asked, yawning a bit, she rested her head on Jaune's shoulder for a minute before she lifted it right back up. "It's like every day you just want to hold me like I'm a teddy bear or something,"
"I just want to make sure you're loved sometimes," Jaune muttered, she yawned too. Somehow she was tired as well, even the long darkness of night could exhaust the most hyper of people it seems. "Especially after that... Whole thing tonight with the do-"
"You don't need to remind me about that, and no it wasn't your fault. You were just trying to help and be you, plus make my son and his friend happy, you didn't know that the doll was haunted," Lila said, squeezing Jaune's hand a little bit. "You should have informed me before you went into my house though,"
"Sorry about that, I just wanted to make it a surprise," Jaune said finding it hard to stay awake. "You know how I am Lila, I just... I don't know,"
"You're feeling tired?" Lila asked, her voice becoming soft as silk. She kissed Jaune's head. Which made Jaune giggle and kiss Lila back on the cheek. "You sound slurry and sleepy all of a sudden,"
"Yeah, I am" Jaune replied making some grumbles before she looked at Lila with those tired eyes. "Can I sleep in your arms again? It's been a long day and I just want to be near you y'know?"
"That's what I was going to suggest. Of course you can do that sweetie!" Lila said, she stretched and then scooted away from Jaune. She then just lay on her back, looking at Jaune as she yawned and closed her eyes. Lila then opened her arms with a smile. "What are you waiting for? Come here!"
Jaune just laughed and nodded her head before quickly crawling on the bed and laying on top of Lila. Jaune managed to turn off the light before just wrapping her arms around Lila's neck. She also buried her face against it, enjoying the warmth as she found a very comfortable position. Lila only gasped before she just kissed Jaune again on the forehead. Lila couldn't help it, Jaune was just acting so adorable and happy. It made Lila almost cry, the way Jaune just wanted to be with her like this. It made Lila just... Squeeze her for a little bit.
Lila's grasp was warm but also tough while being soft. She played with Jaune's for a little bit too, running through it and trapping her fingers in it. Jaune giggled in response, it just made them drift a little more. It was just like when they were young, sometimes they cuddled like this late at night while watching TV or just because they were bored. So many good memories came from something like this, just as simple as holding someone close while going to sleep. That shouldn't be something so remarkable. But it was anyway.
They didn't say a goodnight or I love you before they fell asleep. It just happened, one second they were giggling, tiredly nuzzling into each other and overall acting extremely affectionate with each other. They just drifted off, both with smiles on their faces as the warmth that came from each other continued to comfort them. Lila's grip on Jaune's back and waist lessened a little bit. But not much as she still kept a protective hold on Jaune. As if the rest of the night would be dangerous if Lila let go, even when she was passed out.
Lila was happy Jaune came. Even if she brought a haunted doll. She still was Lila's sweetheart whom Lila would keep warm and comfortable every night, as much as Jaune did the same for her.
