You've known Lena for what seemed like forever. From the moment the two of you met you couldn't be kept away from each other. Now three years on, the two of you were as thick as thieves.

Only up until recently, you had been thinking of Lena in a different way. Going from longing gazes to discrete touches. You knew you were falling for the girl but you just couldn't stop yourself.

You knew you couldn't do anything with these feelings so you kept them buried deep down. Not telling anyone. Not a single soul.

Due to hiding your feelings you had been different around Lena, and you were sure she could sense it. As much as it pained you, you tried to put a little distance between you both but you were just not able to keep her from running around in your mind.

You were currently sitting on your sofa at home, scrolling through instagram when you noticed that Lena had posted. Clicking on her account you could've sworn you had heart palpitations.

Immediately liking her new photo, your heart nearly jumped out of your chest once you saw a message pop up at the top of your screen.

You huffed out a laugh, getting up from the sofa with a sinking feeling in your stomach. You couldn't help but wonder what it'd be like if you actually told her how you felt. Shaking your head, you got rid of that idea.

Grabbing your keys from your kitchen counter, you put your shoes on and made your way over to Lena's. It wasn't a long drive and before you knew it you were standing outside her front door, waiting for her to let you in.

"The stalker's here." Lena grinned as she opened the door.

"Ha ha, very funny." You deadpanned, walking past her and into the living room where there was pizza laid out on the coffee table.

"Wow, I don't even get a 'hi' and you're already digging into the pizza." Lena scoffed, sitting beside you on the sofa.

"I only came for free food and a movie." You said with a grin, discreetly trying to put space between the two of you.

"Whatever." Lena said, rolling her eyes as she tried to fight off a smile that made its way onto her face.

"What movie are we watching?" You asked, taking another slice of pizza.

"Ten things I hate about you."

"Really?"

"What? I like a good romcom." Lena shrugged, taking a slice of her own and pressing play on the movie.

As the movie went on, your concentration became less and less. Your brain solely focused on the person beside you. No matter how much space you put between her, you still felt yourself being drawn back to her. Like an unexplainable force pushing you together.

Shifting in your spot, you tried to get comfortable but it was no use. Every position seemed to be more uncomfortable than the last and unbeknownst to you, Lena seemed to be having the same problem.

From all your shifting around, the two of you were now sitting next to each other. Shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh. Lena rested her head on your shoulder, still trying to find a comfortable position.

Accidentally, Lena let out a small grumble, becoming fed up with being uncomfortable.

"You okay?" You chuckle, looking down at Lena.

"No." She huffed, moving off your shoulder.

"What's up?"

"I can't get comfy."

"Neither." You agreed, a small tight-lipped smile making its way onto your face.

"Lay back." Lena said, placing her hands on your waist, pushing you to lay on your back.

"Wha- um, okay." You said, heart pounding as you let Lena guide you back.

You got yourself in a position so your head was rested on a pillow, being slightly propped up by the arm of the sofa so you could fully lay down.

Once you had stopped moving, Lena crawled on top of you, laying her body across yours.

"Is this okay?" Lena questioned as she let out a content sigh against your neck, her breath sending goosebumps to spread like a wildfire over your skin.

"Huh- I- what?" You blushed, eyes wide as you scolded yourself for not being able to form a complete sentence.

"Do you want me to get off?" Lena asked, placing her hands on the arm of the sofa, either side of your head, so she could look at your face properly.

"No! I uh-" You coughed and let out a nervous laugh. "I don't think so?"

"You don't think so?" Lena repeated with a teasing tone.

"I don't want you to get off."

"Okay." Lena smiled and moved back to the position she was in originally.

By now the movie was long forgotten and you couldn't help the way your heart sped up at how Lena was on top of you.

Not knowing what to do without malfunctioning, you kept your arms up in the air, deciding that was the better option.

"You can touch me, y'know. I'm not fragile." Lena said softly, reaching her arm out to grab yours, placing it around her waist.

"Mhm, yeah. I know that." You said, placing your other arm on her back, slowly drawing intricate patterns.

The two of you didn't say anything for the rest of the movie, the both of you enjoying the tranquillity of the moment. As the credits played, you had failed to notice that Lena had drifted off to sleep.

You had tried to slide out from underneath her but it was no use. Shifting in her sleep, Lena mumbled a few incoherent words and you knew that you had fallen so hard, you don't think anyone would be able to save you.

Letting yourself drift off into a deep sleep, the only thing grounding you was the person on top of you.

Many hours passed and it was now the early hours of the morning, the sun peaking through the blinds caused Lena to wake up from her sleep.

Some time during the night, the two of you had shifted so she was trapped between you and the cushions of the sofa.

Lena froze, noticing the position she was currently in and letting a blush take over her features. Her leg was draped over yours, tangled together and her hand had made its way up your top, resting on your stomach.

Snapping herself out of her thoughts, Lena quickly removed her hand from under your top, suddenly feeling her fingertips grow cold.

Shifting in your sleep, you wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her just a tad closer and resting your head in her neck.

"You're staring." You mumbled, eyes still closed as you let a small smile take over your face.

"I'm not." Lena protested, weakly trying to get out of your hold.

"You're lucky I like you." You smiled, moving your head back to the pillow and tightening your grip on her.

Lena laid quietly for a while, assuming you had drifted back off to sleep before she spoke up again.

"I like you too." She whispered, brushing a strand of hair that fell over your face.

"I knew it." You smirked, pulling her closer into you. "Now go back to sleep."

Lena let out a small chuckle, pressing her lips to your cheek before cuddling herself into you and drifting back off into sleep.
