Song Inspo: I Didn't Mean To Fall In Love - Snoh Aalegra
Oh, you got my attention (my attention) And there are no second thoughts, no-no-no, no, no Always knew you were pretendin’, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah Since love was always around, baby (always)
You walked to the door, trying to push down your hopes. Weeks ago you would have had no doubts as to who was on the other side at this hour. Now, though, you were wondering if you should pick up the bat you kept hidden in your pot plant.
The knocking started again as you wrapped your hand around the knob, pulling it open to peak around the edge. Your thoughts stopped short at the sight that met you, pulling the door open further to make sure you weren't hallucinating.
Hank was standing on your porch, one arm holding Bishop up whilst the other rested against the wall. The moonlight meant you could just make out the bruises blossoming on Bishop’s face and the cut above Hank’s eye. They both looked worse for wear.
‘What happened?’
Hank frowned, shaking his head as he continued to support his President’s weight. ‘Long week, sweetheart. Too many things going sideways.’
You nodded, letting a shaky breath as you tried to work out why they were on your porch.
‘What are you…’ Your words trailed off. You weren’t even sure you wanted to ask the question. After weeks of silence you’d assumed that Bishop was done with you; that all of them were. The only person you had talked to was Taza when he had come to check on you the day after you walked out of the clubhouse. You hadn’t let him in, instead asking him for a week of time and space. They’d given you much longer than that - you hadn’t seen anyone else since that night.
‘Tried to take him home but he wouldn’t walk through the fucking door. Insisted that he needed to see you.’ Hank grunted as he answered, trying to keep Bishop upright as he attempted to take an unsteady step towards you.
‘Querida…’
Your stomach flipped at the rough sound of his voice, laced with whiskey and cigarettes and everything you hadn’t let yourself miss.
Pushing away from Hank, Bishop tried to take another step towards you, the edge of his boot catching a gap in the wood of the porch. Your arm was out before you could stop it, wrapping your hand around his bicep whilst Hank reached out to steady him again.
‘Obispo, what are you doing?’ The words left you in a whisper but they somehow still reached Bishop's ears. He reached out, his hand finding your side to help steady him.
‘Y/n… I…’ He didn’t finish his sentence, his head spinning with thoughts he couldn't quite process. Bishop took another step forward, his movements forcing you backwards as you took on more of his unsteady weight.
‘I can take him home. I just thought…’
You sighed, taking a deep breath and hoping that you wouldn’t come to regret your next words.
‘It’s okay. He can sleep it off on the couch.’
‘You sure?’ No, you weren’t, but you knew Bishop. Even with an entire bottle of whiskey in his system he wasn’t going to do something he didn’t want to do. Tonight it seemed sleeping in his own bed was one of those things.
‘Yeah.’ Dropping your hand from Bishop’s arm, you lowered it to tug on his hand where it still rested lightly on your hip. He looked up at you, eyes dark and hooded. Pushing the memories that look brought up to one side you pulled him forward, though the doorway and into the house.
You led Bishop to the couch, gently pushing him down onto it. His hands found your hips again as you stood in front of him, warm fingers gravitating to the spot where your singlet had ridden up. The feel of his hands on you again for the first time in weeks had you tingling, wanting, but you forced yourself to ignore it, to temper any hopes that came with a drunk Bishop showing up at your door at one am. I didn’t mean anything. It didn’t change anything.
That’s what you kept repeating to yourself as you watched Hank let himself out, catching your eye with a knowing look before he pulled the door shut.
In the time it had taken Hank to leave Bishop had let his body tip forward slightly, his head coming to rest against your stomach. The tickle of his breaths against your skin had you clenching your eyes shut.
He wasn't making this easy. He never made things easy. All you wanted to do was reach your hand up and start running your fingers through his hair, to rub the worry off his forehead and take the exhaustion from his eyes.
Your thoughts were interrupted by Bishop, his voice muffled by the material of your top.
'Dance with me, querida.' Hands still planted on your hips, Bishop's body started swaying ever so slightly from side to side, his head still pressed against you.
'Dance? Can you even stand up, Obispo?'
'Don't need to. This is good.'
'There's no music.'
Bishop started humming, and your chest ached even more. How were you going to stay away from this sweet mess of a man? How could he not see what you could be for each other; how you could hold each other up just like you were doing right now?
You gave in, letting the slight pull of Bishop's hands tug your body into a sway as your arms fell over his shoulders, coming to rest on his back. You stayed like that, warm and close with the knowledge that this was only going to hurt you in the long run. You didn't have it in you to care though. You'd missed him, missed his touch and his smell and his sounds. You'd just have to savour what you got until day broke and you lost it all again.
Eventually, Bishop's humming trailed off, and you felt his breathing start to slow as his body got heavier in your hold. He was falling asleep.
You lifted your hands from his back, gently pushing him forward so that his weight was back on the couch. Pulling his kutte off his shoulders you took a step away from him, allowing his hands to fall off your hips and immediately feeling the loss. Draping the heavy leather over the edge of the couch you knelt down, glad Bishop had no objections as you pulled off his shoes. He wasn't one to let you do these things for him, not normally. Maybe he was finally too exhausted to be stubborn.
Placing the boots to one side, you looked up to find Bishop’s head had fallen back against the couch, his eyes closed.
‘Bish, lift your legs.’
‘Hmm?’ You shook your head, wondering if his streak of cooperation was coming to an end.
‘Lift your legs onto the couch. If you sleep like that you’re going to get a crick in your neck and you’ll be even more of a grump tomorrow.’
‘ - not a grump.’ The words were mumbled as you tugged on Bishop’s leg, helping him to get horizontal. Pulling a throw off the back of the couch you leant forward to drape it over his body. You were pulling it over his legs when you felt his hand wrap around your arm, pulling you back towards him.
His eyes were closed again but there was the hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. You wondered what had put it there; what about this moment was making him happy.
‘Y/n?’ You let your body follow his pull once again, coming to sit next to him on the edge of the couch. You couldn’t stop your hand from reaching out to touch his forehead, trying to smooth away the furrow that seemed to be ever present on his brow.
‘Yes, Obispo?
‘You’re a shirt thief.’ You rolled your eyes, letting out a huff at being caught. You’d stolen the dark green shirt from Bishop months ago, feigning innocence when he’d come looking for it. He knew you had it, but it had become an unspoken agreement that thinking about why you kept it was the start of both of you reading too much into things.
‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’
Bishop’s eyes sprang open at your words, the hand that still had a hold on your arm tugging you down and closer to his chest. Even drunk, the man was strong. Before you knew it his lips were on yours, soft and warm with hints of whiskey and nicotine.
For a moment, just a brief one, you forgot. You forgot why you hadn’t spoken; why he was on your couch instead of in your bed and why the kiss felt like it was breaking your heart in two.
Just as quickly as it happened though, Bishop’s wandering free hand on your thigh reminded you of why it needed to stop it. This couldn’t happen, not when he was drunk and you were still in limbo.
You pulled away from him, hands pressing onto his shoulders to lift yourself off the couch and away from his body. Bishop stiffened at the loss but he didn't fight you, closing his eyes instead. You ghosted your fingers over his bruised cheek, letting your lips touch his skin one last time before finally stepping away.
‘Get some sleep, Bishop.’
Turning away, you started to walk your bedroom when his voice pulled you back one last time.
‘Y/n?’
‘Yeah, Bish?' You halted your steps with a sigh, not turning around as you spoke.
‘I’m sorry, mi amor. ’ Bishop's words were slurred as he finally drifted into sleep, leaving you to wonder whether he was apologising for showing up drunk or for once again breaking your heart.
