five times kissed pls love me
send me five times kissed for a drabble about five times our muses kissed.
the first time that james and riley kissed, riley was not expecting it. she didn’t think that james liked her in that way, even though she hoped that he did. they were just coming back from the studio, a place that riley found herself visiting more and more. james always walked her home, no matter how many times riley protested it. she felt bad, having him walk all the way to her apartment and then all the way back to his. they were standing in front of her apartment door then, and she hugged her friend goodbye, a gesture she had picked up in the last few weeks. but when she went to pull away, and james’ hands were holding her in place, she raised a brow, confused. but all of her questions were answered when she felt the others lips collide with hers. she was tense at first, but then she relaxed, a blush creeping up her neck and to her cheeks. “i uhm….wow." she breathed, a giggle passing her lips after she spoke. she liked that, a lot. she wanted it to happen more, in fact.
“come on come on come on!!" riley spoke quickly, tugging james by his arm. she was unreasonably excited right now. the carnival was in town, and of course riley had to drag james with her. she was giddy, bouncing around a bit as she walked through the grounds. she turned back to james, swinging their arms due to the fact that they were holding hands. she stood on her tip toes a bit, pressing a soft kiss to the others cheek. “thank y-you for coming with.” she said quietly, before dragging him towards another carnival ride.
riley was pissed. she did not get angry often, but right now she was furious. james said that he would be back right after he finished his painting. he said it would take an hour, maybe even less. so riley hadn’t planned on sitting up until midnight wondering why he wouldn’t return her calls or wondering where james was. but her questions were soon answered when he stumbled through the door. he walked over to her, asking why she looked so angry with slurred words. she just rolled her eyes and shook her head. and then his lips were pressed to hers, and she could just taste the alcohol. so she shoved him backwards, “do not touch me. not l-like…not while y-you’re like this.” she snapped, turning around and marching to her room. “you’re sleeping on the couch." right now, her lack of a stammer was concerning her, but she was too pissed to care.
the night was spent crying and cuddling. riley was having a terrible day. a woman had come into the book store and she looked so much like eve. so when she came home and burst into tears, james was obviously worried. but he just wrapped her in his arms, and pressed a kiss to her lips, promising that he would protect her, and that they would find her, someday.
a simple peck onto james’ lips were how riley decided to wake him up today. she draped across his chest, pressing a soft kiss to his chest as well. and when he opened his eyes to look at her, she pressed yet another to his lips, mumbling a soft 'good morning' to him. she loved it, waking up like this with him. it was so peaceful.
