I groaned as I curled deeper into the couch. My back hurt, my stomach hurt, I had a headache. I just wanted to sleep but my body wouldn't let me. I just wanted these cramps to go away. But no matter how much pain killer I took it just wouldn't.
"Are you sick?"
I heard softly, and tilted my head to look up at bob who was sipping something out of a mug.
"Sick of this fucking period."
I complained, clutching my arms tightly around my body, deep under the fuzzy blanket i had wrapped around my torso.
"Is there anything I can do?"
He asked and I drew my brows.
"Unless you can make my cramps go away I don't think so."
He shrugged and motioned for me to move my feet so he could sit. I did as told, tucking my toes under his leg after he got comfortable.
"Hm, warm."
I said, digging my feet further under his thigh.
"You do this to everybody?"
He asked and I nodded against the throw pillow.
"Mooch their body heat? Yes."
He took a sip from his mug before gently placing his hand on my exposed calf.
"Damn you are cold."
He said, rubbing his thumb absentmindedly.
"Ya know, I run pretty warm, if you're that cold would cuddling help?"
He asked and I raised a brow. I thought for a second before lifting the blanket off my body.
"Eh, it couldnt hurt to try."
I said, him setting his mug on the table, trying to hide a smile as he tucked in next to me. We faced each other and I held my breath in pain as I straightened my legs out so we both would fit on the narrow couch.
"Do you want me... to uh, hug you?"
He asked slowly and I nodded.
"Please, anything to get rid of these cramps."
I sighed, shifting so he could put his arm under me. I sighed as he hugged me to him, my body pressed tightly to his and his hands placed firmly at the small of my back. I tried hard not to rest my chin on the top of his head as he nuzzled into my side.
"Is that better?"
He mumbled into my neck as I hugged him back. I could already feel the heat radiating off of his body as it seeped into my own.
"Much."
I said a little tired, curling into him. he inhaled deeply, his breath fanning over my neck.
"Is it always this bad?"
He asked and I shrugged.
"Sometimes its better sometimes its worse. It hasn't been this bad in a while though."
He hummed against me and I could feel him rubbing his thumbs into my spine gently.
"Is there anything else that could help?"
He asked and I snorted a little bit.
"probably not."
He nodded against me in response before breathing deeply again. I shivered a little and laughed.
"Why do you keep doing that? It tickles."
He shifted a bit under me.
"Sorry, you just, you smell really good."
I could feel a blush creeping its way to my face at his words.
"Oh, uh, thanks. I guess."
"Welcome."
He said shortly, followed by a long silence. For a moment I thought i would fall asleep but even with my eyes closed all I could think about was him. His warmth was slowly melting my cramps away and as much as I hated to admit it he smelled pretty good too. Like vanilla and cheap cologne, something musky. Maybe his aftershave?
"Feeling better?"
He asked sheepishly and I sighed.
"Yes, thank you bob."
He nodded against me.
"Do you want me to leave?"
He asked and I stiffened.
"If you have somewhere to be you can go."
I said, loosening my grip but he hesitated.
"No i just, was worried. We've never been this close... for this long."
He mentioned and I relaxed a little bit.
"If youre uncomfortable-"
He leaned back a bit with a scared expression and shook his head.
"No! Not at all!"
I laughed at him, looking over his face. he stared at me like a frightened animal.
"You smell good too by the way."
I complimented, seeing his face grow red.
"I uh- um, thanks."
He stammered, laying his head back down in the crook of my neck. I slowly brought my hand up to rest in his hair, closing my eyes and scratching lightly.
"do you mind if i put my leg up?"
i asked quietly.
"uh, go for it?"
he asked and i moved slowly, lifting the blanket and then bringing my leg up to rest on his hip. he froze, stiffening as i hugged him closer to me.
"is that okay?"
i asked and he nodded against me.
"yeah thats fine."
he said and i moved my hand back to the nape of his neck. he inhaled sharply as i started scratching lightly, tangling my fingers into his hair. he moaned and i couldnt help the smirk that made its way to my face. he was always easy to tease even when we werent tangled together in each others arms.
"do that again."
he breathed out and i tugged gently, scratching at his scalp. he instinctively twitched his hips towards me as he moaned again.
"you like that?"
he nodded against me and i could feel the heat of his face against my throat. he kissed there, very soft, almost a sweet graze like he was testing the waters. i smiled softly, moving to look down at him. he was staring at anything but my face, his cheeks still a bright shade of pink.
"if you wanted to kiss me all you had to do was ask."
i said and he cleared his throat.
"may i?"
he asked just above a whisper and i nodded, smiling as he finally looked up at me.
"please do."
he studied my face for a second before pushing forward slowly. he pecked me on the lips first, afraid i would pull away. i looked between his eyes and he swallowed hard.
"can i kiss you?"
i asked and he nodded quickly. i moved just as slowly, in case he wanted to change his mind. when our lips finally connected i pulled him into me, hand still resting at the base of his neck, fingers still tangled in his hair. his lips moved against mine, but it was like he was letting me lead him. i pulled back and looked over his face.
"its okay if you dont like it."
i said and his eyes went wide.
"i do!"
he blurted out.
"like it, i mean."
he said back-peddling.
"i just uh, i dont want to hurt you. on accident."
he confirmed and i nodded my head a couple times, weighing his words.
"ignore that voice in your head."
i breathed out, pushing to him again and capturing his lips in mine. it was a little hungrier this time, and he slowly melted into me. he kissed me back, deeply, full of want. like he'd been waiting for the green light forever. and soon our slow kissing turned into a passionate make out, his hands rubbing up my back under my shirt, me gripping at his shoulders, and my leg wrapping further around his waist to pull him into me.
"oh god, not on the couch. i eat there."
we heard yelena complain, both of us ripping away from each others faces and looking up to her and ava standing at the head of the couch, each with a pizza box in their hands looking rather disgusted.
"he was helping my cramps go away."
i said matter of factly and she sent me a testing look.
"yeah sure. please take that to your room."
she said, shooing us with her free hand, ava trying to look away.
"perhaps let him have your blanket before hand."
ava said, holding her hand up to our hips pressed together. i knew why, i could feel it against my thigh.
"sorry."
he said bashfully and i laughed; more at ava than at him.
"dont worry about it bob. youve done a very good job."
i praised and he tried to avoid my gaze as i sat up, adjusting my tank top before covering him with the blanket. he gripped it tightly and moved to stand, stumbling a little bit before shuffling past them.
"so you and bob."
yelena said, sitting where we were just laid.
"this a new thing?"
she asked, pulling a slice of pizza out of the box, ava moving to sit on the other side of me, now in the middle of the couch.
"it wouldve been, had you not so rudely interrupted."
i said, crossing my arms over my chest. she snorted, reaching for the tv remote and clicking it on.
"guess we arrived at the perfect time, you wanna watch a movie with us?"
i looked between her and the coffee table, seeing bobs mug still sat there.
"ya know what i think im gonna go find bob."
i said standing, picking the mug up.
"and give him his-"
i looked down into the mug and sniffed it.
"capri sun."
i said before leaving the room, both of them laughing as i heard the DreamWorks music blaring from the tv.
