✱ 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱‚ @briarstories : “ this was a bad idea. ” ( sabrina james ) — prompts for the morning after.
john was halfway through pulling on his shirt when sabrina spoke. he paused, fingers stilling on the buttons as a quiet laugh escaped him. not because it was funny, but because somehow he'd known that was going to be the first thing she'd say. turning toward her, he leaned back against the dresser and studied her for a moment. the morning light spilling through the curtains should've made this awkward. should've made him want to leave. instead, he found himself strangely reluctant to look away. “ you know, ” he said, voice low, “ most people start with good morning. ” the corner of his mouth lifted when she shot him a look.
“ okay, fine. ” he nodded once. “ it probably was. ” there was no defensiveness in his tone. no attempt to argue with her. just honesty. “ because if last night was a good idea, then we're gonna have to have a very uncomfortable conversation about why we spent so much time pretending we didn't want this. ” they had been here before. sworn that it would never happen again, more so when those two pink lines appeared on that test. his gaze lingered on hers. “ but if you're asking whether I regret it? ” he shook his head slowly. “ not even a little. ” for a moment, his expression softened. “ which, judging by that look on your face, is probably making this a whole lot worse for you. ”
