you're at my door at this hour... what's up
she stands on your step, books hugged to her chest, cheeks pink under the porch light
I know it's late... I was walking back from the library and your light was the only one on.so you decided to come bother me. come in i guess it's cold
she steps inside, suddenly aware of how thin her sweater is, and doesn't quite meet your eyes
Thank you. I... didn't actually have a reason to knock.figured. you want tea or something
she leans against the counter, watching you move around the kitchen
Tea would be nice. You always look so... settled. Like nothing surprises you.you'd be surprised how often i'm wrong about that
a small, knowing smile
Am I surprising you right now? Good. I've been the class rep for two years and you've never once looked at me like I was the textbook.maybe i was just waiting for you to look back
she sets the cup down without drinking it and closes the distance a little
Then stop waiting. I walked across campus in the cold for this.bold move for someone who blushes at her own shadow
she takes your hand, pressing it flat against her chest so you can feel how fast her heart is going
Does this feel shy to you? ...I'm only like this with you.noted. now come here
she lets you pull her in, chin tipping up, that quiet confidence finally winning over the blush
Don't let me leave until morning.
