☪ five times our muses almost hold hands, and the one time they do.
walking side by side, on their way to wherever (maddie can’t recall, being too busy staring at the other girl), maddie was clearly distracted by the beautiful sight beside her. suddenly, the back of their hands softly brushed each other, and the taller girl’s head swiftly turned away, looking ahead of her instead.
the two girls went to a new diner that maddie insisted on going to because she saw a poster that said they had a really cheap, giant bowl of ice cream, and how could she possibly pass up on that, right? reaching out for the spoon that she assumed was her own at the same time that the other did, maddie’s fingers touch the tips of the other’s, and she was about to fight for the spoon but she bashfully shied away, letting the other have it instead.
it was too cold outside so maddie invited sanhee to stay at her place. “just for a few more hours,” she said. they were just resting on her couch when she noticed that the other was shivering. maddie sat up and moved closer, ready to warm up the girl’s hands but upon seeing that sanhee had already remedied the situation by pulling down on her sleeves, she quickly sits back down, somewhat upset that she didn’t get to help.
the rain was treacherous that night, and maddie was stuck in sanhee’s home– not that she was complaining. they treated it like a sleepover to lighten the mood, despite the crazy weather. they decided to sleep on one bed, y’know, for warmth or whatever. they played with each other’s hair, braiding and styling but maddie turned around to face the girl, and the palms of their hands touched. the cat lover wanted to lace her fingers together with the other’s but she wasn’t sure if sanhee felt the same. she merely high-fived her, joking around, even if she really just wanted to hold her hands.
that same night, maddie watched as the other fell asleep. she could see sanhee’s lips twitch and her eyes moving behind her closed lids at random times. apart from those slight movements, the other was very serene as she snoozed away. maddie thought it was cute. the other girl’s open hand laid beside her head, and maddie found herself tracing the lines on it. she slid her hand above the other’s in hopes of connecting with her but sanhee twitched beneath her touch, causing maddie to pull away. so close.
the youtuber stood at the corner of the street that they agreed to meet on, and her eyes searched the crowd for the face she hoped to see. “where is she?” constantly checking her phone for any new texts, maddie was distraught as she saw that the only notification she was getting was a reminder for her date with sanhee. worriedly looking around, she jumped at the feeling of a hand lacing its fingers with her own. her eyes softened at the sight of sanhee standing beside her with a bright grin. she looked down at their hands, a soft shade of pink painting her cheeks. “let’s go?”
