" hey, nuf, can i chill in your room for the evening? "
when leo had asked that, this... was not what nufuli had expected..
...
its been hours since leo came back to her room with her, and it started off.. simple. asking about her progress on missions, how stuff around the base is going, any new reports- basic things.
how it came to- well.. leo laying on top of her, she doesn't know. what she did know was that her heart was racing faster than it should be. it.. always seemed to do that when she was around leo..
"hmph... you're warm.." leo murmured against her chest, eyes fluttering open to look at her. "and nervous- you're heart's racing. why are you nervous?"
"hm-!?" ohhhhh, that look didn't make nufuli's beating heart any better. "i'm- i'm fine! just.. um... y'know, thinking about all of our missions and stuff.."
"thinking about work on our one day off?" leo huffed, tilting her head slightly. "you're just as bad as me- c'mon, we're resting right now."
nufuli rested her head back onto her pillow, looking up at her ceiling. if she looked at leo for one more minute- especially since she was all curled up and comfortable on top of and just.. smothering herself with nufuli' chest- she'd have a heart attack at this rate. "i'm- i'm resting, i swear-!" she stammered
leo smirked, pushing herself up so her face was in the crook of nufuli's neck instead of her chest. less awkward- oh who was she kidding herself, nufuli's heart felt like it would burst from her chest either way. "you better.." she said, pressing a light kiss to her collarbone. she looked up, spotting the confused and downright flustered expression on nufuli's face. "don't worry. i'm just checking your pulse- making sure your heart isn't beating too fast now."
right, okay- but that still wasn't helping with her heartbeat. it was almost scary how flustered nufuli was. it was still justified! because a pretty woman- who is still technically her boss- is on top of her and is now kissing up her neck!
leo sighed, breath warm against her skin. "can i bite you?" she asked, eyes half-lidded as she pulled away enough to look up at nufuli. "i- i mean- like- just a nibble- please? if i can be honest, you look so good right now and i think it would do us both some good if i bit you-"
"UM- YEAH-" nufuli cut her off, face red as tilted her head away- both so she didn't look at leo and.. and to offer more of her neck to her.. "you- um- you should do that... it'd be-.. pretty cool.."
leo smiled against her skin. her lips parted, teeth barely scraping against nufuli's neck, but it still sent a shiver down her spine. it stung, but leo hadn't broken skin yet. "can- can i-?" she asked again.
nufuli nodded, "um- y- yeah... p- please..." she let her eyes slip shut, allowed herself to just... feel. feel leo's presence and the heat it brought to her skin.
leo hummed and increased the pressure of her bite. she stopped when nufuli sucked in a gasp. "all good?" she asked to which nufuli nodded again.
there was another hum and a nod from leo, and she increased the pressure a little bit more. it was- stars, it was so good, nufuli felt a little light-headed.
and then- oh stars.. and then leo sucked. fucking- stars, she was working a hickey into her throat and it was the best thing nufuli's felt since forever.
she placed a hand on leo's shoulder, slightly pushing her back. leo did so, pulling away and looking at nufuli. "are you okay?" she asked with genuine concern.
"mhm.. yeah.. i just.." nufuli sighed, leaning her head back. "fuck, that was really good.. 'm sorry.."
leo shook her head. "no, you're okay." she sat up, still straddling nufuli's waist. "do you wanna take a break? just cuddle?"
nufuli nodded, still a little guilty that she kind of ruined the fun. "i mean- we don't-"
"nope- we're taking break." leo flopped down next to her, wrapping her arms around her. again, she nuzzled against nufuli's neck- now the back of it instead of the base. "we both know we need one anyways. plus, that's what this started of as, right?"
a small hum of confirmation escaped nufuli's lips and she curled in leo's hold.
it was nice to be held and... loved, dare she say. and leo's a nice, comforting weight against her back.
once more, she let her eyes close.
