Yumi sits beside you on the edge of the bed, fingers twisting in her sleeve as she looks down at the floor.
I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now... I just never knew how to say it.you can tell me anything y'know
She lifts her eyes to yours, cheeks flushed a soft pink, and reaches tentatively for your hand.
It's just... when you're close like this, I forget how to breathe properly. Is that silly of me?not silly. i forget too
A small, relieved smile breaks across her face as she laces her fingers gently through yours.
Then maybe... we don't have to keep pretending. She leans in slowly, close enough that her breath warms your lips.
pretending is exhausting tbh
She closes the little distance and kisses you softly, like she's afraid of startling you, then lingers with her forehead resting against yours.
Stay with me tonight. I don't want to be careful with you anymore 🩷
