since i’m back
here’s a little dribble i found sitting in my notes
i originally wrote this with someone in mind but you can imagine whichever couple you like !!
well , this is a first
“ BaaaAAAAAAABE can you hurry up ?! ” He chuckled to himself as he heard her voice echo from the bedroom all the way to the kitchen
“ BABE if you don’t come back here in 3 seconds i will literally start the episode without you ” They were binge watching Sherlock , the BBC version , they’d meant to watch it for almost a year now but never had enough time together
This was , he thought , actually the first full day they’ve spent together in two months , the thought strangely made his heart ache . He shrugged it off as he walked into the room and found her sprawled on the bed , huge smile on her face .
“ FINNALY , jesus christ ,” She said “ Just how long does a girl have to wait for her sexy boyfriend to make her a sandwich?? ” She giggled at the word sexy , and he watched as she reached her hand up to cover her mouth. A habit of hers. A habit he absolutely hated.
“ Also , did i just call you babe two times in a row ??? what have i become ? ” She feigned disgust “ Love has made me into a mad woman , get out of my house , you warlock!! you have blinded me !! ” She continued her dramatic encore as she stood up and raised her arms in the air , like a shakespearean actor having a really good day on stage
And he watched. He watched her eyes fill to the brim with held back laughter. He watched her short dark hair bounce back and fourth, mirroring her joy. He watched her shirt lift up a little , revealing the tiniest mole on her hip. He watched and he didn’t realize he was watching. He could watch for years , and he wouldn’t even feel the pain in his tired limbs or his aching body from working too much . Fuck work , he thought , work prevents him from seeing this .
“ Well ? are you just gonna stand there and stare at me all day ?? ” she said as she flopped lazily back onto the bed, he hadn’t even realized he was still standing there , holding the tray
“ Come over here let me put those broad shoulders to use ” she wiggled her eyebrows
“ iloveyu ” he blurted out
“ What ? speak up baby ” She says , not looking at him but at the tv screen as she picks up the remote to press ‘play’
“ I SAID , i love you” He shouts , kinda , well he didn’t mean to , that’s just how it happened. and she stops moving .
She stops moving , but she turns to look at him , and it’s like time also stops moving . It’s like they’re the main characters in a disney movie and they’re having what she calls “ the sparkle moment” , where the audience begins to pick up on a possible romance storyline between the two. It’s like he can hear music play , and he thinks it’s coming from him. It’s like he’s never breathed before. Like he’s never known freedom till this very moment . Finally , she speaks
“ YOU son of a bitch!!!” She laughs and screams at once
“ what? ” He’s confused , he’s always confused with her
“ YOU TOOK MY MOMENT!! i was gonna make you dinner ! and wear a nice dress !! and say it first !!! and what ??? you just go ahead and blurt it out while i’m wearing your old shirt and booty shorts ?? really ??” There she is , of course that’s what she says
“ You know, babe ,” He finally sets the tray down and climbs on top of the bed “ Usually people respond with ‘i love you too’ ”
“ People also suck ass ” She scoots closer to him “ We’re still gonna have that dinner , and you’re gonna act surprised”
“ Yes ma’am ” he presses ‘play’
