They had been laying in Sapnap's bed all afternoon. Their knees knocking against each other, both of them scrolling on their phones and sending each other tiktoks.
When Sapnap asks, it comes out of nowhere.
"Do you ever think about having kids?"
"Now?" she asks loudly, her eyebrows high while looking at sapnap from where she rested on his chest.
"No, no!“ he answers quickly "Fuck no. We're too young, just... I don't know. I was thinking about when I get older and shit."
She lets her phone down onto her chest, turning her whole body to look at him directly.
"Did turning 24 make you have a life crisis?" she says with a grin.
"Okay okay I get it, I can't ever be serious" he answers trying to hide a smile.
She shoved him with a faked gasp, starting a short roughhousing game mainly consisting of them laughing, and Sapnap softly biting her hand when she goes to tickle him.
Once they calm down, he brings Sylvee closer to his chest in a half hug. He holds her for a few beats before talking again.
"I was thinking about my dad yesterday, and how he had me very young. Too young. And how I always said I wouldn't do the same," he pauses. "But I don't know I don't want to be one of those dads that doesn't go out to play because their knees hurt and thet get tired and yadda yadda. You know?"
"Yeah. I get you."
"But well, whatever! I was just curious, don't stress."
They stay quiet for a few minutes, Sylvee's ear pressed against Sapnap's chest, hearing the calm beat of his heart.
"You said, we're too young. Not I'm too young," she says quietly.
Sapnap doesn't answer immediately, she would think he had fallen asleep if not for the racing beat of his heart she could hear coming from his chest.
She waits for him.
"I'm. Well- I don't know, I don't know you but I don't have plans of going anywhere without you," he stutters. "We don't have to talk about this I, I know we're too young. But..." he quiets.
"But?“ Sylvee presses on.
"When I think of the future, there's no one else I imagine with me."
She lets herself free from his arm, holding herself up over Sapnap, her hair strands framing his face.
"There's no one else I imagine either."
She comes down and presses their lips together, holding each other close and breathing each other in more than kissing.
They're both smiling when she comes back up.
"Let's talk about this in a few years, when we're not twenty-four but our knees still work." She says.
