《Falling for You ✓ (girlxgirl)》t h i r t e e n

Haydn gave me a faded Simpson's shirt, and a pair of boxers to sleep in before she grabbed a pillow and went downstairs to sleep on the sofa in the living room. I didn't have a problem with the clothes she gave me, they were actually really comfortable, it's just, that happened two hours ago, and I had been staring at the ceiling since then. It also didn't help that everything smelt like her, and it was driving me insane because I kept thinking about her and how close we were becoming and how uncomfortable she seemed to be in this house. I was dying to know how she was feeling, I was dying for her to open up.
The only fucked up part was that I was genuinely exhausted from today, and I couldn't sleep at all because I was too busy worried about the girl downstairs.
I groaned as I sat up to check the time on my phone and when I saw the numbers 01:00 I wanted to scream in frustration. Deciding against tossing and turning in an empty bed I gathered up all my courage and headed downstairs, my plan was to see if Haydn was awake and if she wasn't I'd just go get a glass of water or something.
Thankfully, when I climbed down the stairs, I saw the light from the tv in the living room and as I walked closer, I saw a tired-looking Haydn curled up in a ball in the middle of the couch with a black blanket and exhausted eyes. The tiredness in her eyes was something I wasn't expecting because she didn't look like she was tired like me, she looked like her soul was exhausted and there was nothing she could do about it.
I took a deep breath before heading towards the entrance and, instead of invading her space, I stood in the doorway and leaned against one of the walls, her golden eyes glued to me since she caught me.
"Can't sleep?" I asked quietly and she shook her head gently.
The next thing Haydn did surprised me, she opened up her blanket and gestured for me to take a seat next to her and I didn't hesitate as I did, our bare thighs briefly brushing against each other as she wrapped the blanket around me before sliding down a little.
"Thanks." I smiled as I leaned my head against the back of the sofa, already feeling a lot less fidgety than I was upstairs but I was guessing that was due to the calming effect Haydn had on me.

I smiled when I saw Summer Camp Island playing on TV and when I looked down at her I saw a light blush on her cheeks and she glanced up at me, her long eyelashes brushing the top of her eyelids as she smiled a little.
"What? Don't judge me, I love this show." She mumbled and I smiled.
"I wasn't going to say anything, I actually love it too," I said honestly. "I watch it whenever I can't sleep, I have anxiety so sometimes my brain can't switch off and I end up staring at the ceiling in a mild state of panic for a few hours," I said, I couldn't help myself from explaining- it's like I had word vomit, but it wasn't too bad, mostly cause she smiled at me.
We were quiet for a while as we listened to the tv that could barely be heard over the rain and thunder but it felt peaceful, like we were completely alone- even if I knew that wasn't true.
However, our little bubble was shattered when Haydn spoke.
"I get night terrors sometimes." She said softly, so softly I almost missed it. "I didn't exactly have the best childhood, and on nights like this it tends to get worse." She explained hesitantly and sensing her unease while talking about it I decided not to push any further.
"Well, I'm just glad I'm not up by myself for once," I whispered, and she gave me a small smile before we turned back to the tv.
We were in the middle of an episode when I felt Haydn gently lay her head on my shoulder and I felt my breathing falter because after seeing her tense and stressed this whole time I didn't expect her to let her guard down so soon, especially with someone who she hadn't known that long.
"You're really warm." She whispered drowsily and I couldn't stop myself from blushing like an idiot.
"Thanks, my friends say I'm hot-blooded."
"Maybe you're just hot." She whispered and I was barely even able to hear the words, but I didn't think I was supposed to. "This is like your superpower." She yawned and I wanted to reply that I would love for my superpower to be keeping pretty girls warm, but I was way too shy, so instead the comfortable silence settled over us again as we continued to watch.

We watched a few more episodes of Summer Camp Island and The Amazing World of Gumball before I felt my eyelids grow heavy and I decided it was finally time to go to bed, but I really didn't want to leave Haydn here by herself. I turned to Haydn to tell her that I was going to bed only to find her fast asleep, still leaning on my shoulder, and I could tell she was in a deep sleep from her slow, deep breaths. My cheeks turned bright red as I gently tried to wake her up, only to have her snuggle closer into me, which made my heart flutter in my chest.
"Haydn! Haydn, wake up!" I whisper-yelled as I shook her a little more aggressively before her eyes fluttered open.
"Oh, shit I'm sor-" She started off as she pushed herself off me and tried to move away from me, but I stopped her by placing my hand on her thigh before I stood up.
"Come on," I said holding my hand out to her and she frowned in confusion.
"I'm sorry?" She asked unsteadily and I took a quick breath before I spoke.
"Your bed is big enough for the two of us," I explained, and I watched as realization dawned on her face.
"Cristina, I don't think-" She started but I interrupted, again.
"It's late and we're both exhausted, let's just go to bed- and besides, who knows, maybe sleeping next to someone might help distract us from our problems," I said with a shrug as she bit her bottom lip in thought.
"I don't know Cristina; I don't think it would be a good idea- I can't." She sighed and I rolled my eyes.
"Haydn, I don't care about the night terrors, I just don't want you here, alone," I emphasized, and her expression softened as a guilty look took over her features.
"It's not just about the night terrors Cristina." She said looking down at her hands, refusing to look at me. "I'm gay like I like girls, in a very romantic, sexual way and you are a very beautiful girl- I don't want you to feel uncomfortable." She explained nervously and I couldn't help but grin.
Haydn thought I was beautiful.
"I know- between and the girl in the library and your reputation it didn't take long to figure out," I said, and she blushed. "But Haydn it doesn't matter, it shouldn't matter. I don't care and neither should you." I reassured her and I wrapped my hands around hers and pulled her up, the familiar warmth waking up the butterflies that lived in my veins every time I was around her and I forced myself to focus on making it to her room.
Haydn hesitantly stood and bit her lip in doubt. I knew I should have confessed that I like girls too, but it didn't feel like it was the right time, it wasn't important to our situation and the last thing I wanted was for her to feel like I was instigating sex of any kind.
"Are you sure? I really don't mind taking the couch." She told me and I nodded with a small smile.
"Of course, I'm sure, I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't. Besides, it's your bed." I reassured her before I switched off the tv and led us back to her room, making sure to stay extra quiet so Luis and Laura wouldn't wake up.
We slipped into her dark room and instead of choosing to switch the light on I blindly made my way to her bed and climbed in, making sure to keep a strong hold on her hand so she would follow me in. Once we were in bed, a little closer than necessary, I could feel how cold Haydn's body actually was and so I snuggled up a little closer to her, not missing the way her breath hitched in her throat.
"Goodnight, Haydn," I whispered lowly as I closed my eyes, immediately overcome with the pull of sleep.
"Goodnight, Cristina." She whispered back as I fell fast asleep.
