requested by anon ❥₊ ⊹ a/n: loved loved loved this request sm. it took a bit of an angsty turn at the end but i really hope you like it anon bb!
you hadn't planned on going to the party but rue had told you to pull up and ever since she'd gone off on yet another side quest you hadn't seen her.
"i don't know if this is a good idea," you said cocking your head to the side looking at yourself in the mirror. i mean, you looked hot. the kind of hot that only happened when you weren't trying too hard. but did you really wanna see rue? and a party? what were you, in high school?
"you're overthinking it," your friend hummed and maybe you were, but seeing rue always felt like stepping into something unpredictable. you never knew which version of her you were getting and lately you weren't sure she knew either.
the party was louder than you'd expected packed wall to wall with people who looked too comfortable in their skin. it made you cling to your thigh and tuck at the waist band of your tight jeans. the smell of alcohol and perfume hung in the air. you stood near the entrance for a second too long. scanning faces instinctively. searching for rue. nothing. nothing but strangers laughing and people leaning too close to each other in dark corners. god, it really was like being back in high school.
you headed over to grab a drink. mostly to have something to do with your hands while you searched for rue.
you spotted her before you even realized you were looking.
maddy. standing near the kitchen island like she belonged there. one hand wrapped around a drink. dark hair falling over her shoulder. not one hair out of place. she looked older but in a way that worked for her. what was that saying? aged like fine wine. yeah.. you were starting to understand it.
she had that same confidence that always made it feel like she knew something everyone else didn't. she was talking to someone but not really paying attention. her eyes lazily drifting around the room until they landed on you. you felt it immediately. that strange drop in your stomach. heat spreading.
you'd known maddy forever. long enough that crushing on her had become background noise when you were growing up. she was rue's friend. she was always around somehow. always pretty. always impossible not to notice. back then it'd been harmless.
you were so lost in a trance that you hadn't noticed her excusing herself before walking over. she stood in front of you. smile on her face. "i didn't know you were coming," she exclaimed. her arms wrapping around you so naturally. when she pulled back her eyes shifting up and down your body in a way that didn't feel casual at all.
"i didn't either," you chuckled a little. she laughed softly leaning against the counter beside you.
"you look good," she said. smile still big. you looked down at your drink suddenly aware of how close she really was. close enough you could smell her perfume when she moved even the slightly bit. warm. expensive. familiar.
you glanced at her. she was still watching you. lips curved slightly like she knew exactly what she was doing. it made you feel warm in a dangerous way like the alcohol hit all at once. it really made you question how long you'd been at this party. this was your first drink, but why did it feel like your fifth?
the music pulsed through the walls. people brushing past behind you but somehow everything around her felt quiet like a halo shining over her head. she shifted closer without making a thing of it. shoulder brushing yours. knee barely touching your knee when someone squeezed behind you. neither of you moving away.
you looked over at her. she wasn't smiling just gazing at you with those big brown eyes.
"still nervous around me?" she asked.
"was i nervous around you?" you laughed quietly. fuck, of course you'd been. you can't even recall the times your mom forced you to go somewhere with rue and maddy would show up all grace and beauty and sarcasm. certainly she'd seen you as nothing more than rue's little sister. well, little was a stretch. you were only a year younger.
"you always acted like you didn't like me," she pouted.
"that's not true," you shook your head.
"no?" she replied. eyes dropping briefly to your mouth. "could've fooled me." she shrugged pushing herself off the counter. your stomach flipped. the room felt warmer. you could feel the shift happening again. the subtle change where conversation stopped mattering as much as proximity. her hand brushed your arm when she reached for your drink. fingers lingering.
"what are you drinking?" she asked bringing your cup to her lips. she didn't take a sip just sniffed before putting it down. you weren't thinking about rue anymore. you weren't thinking about why you came or whether this was smart or how messy things could get. you were standing close to maddy. letting yourself get pulled into her.
"you wanna get out of here?" she asked.
the question came out casually like she didn't care what your answer would be but there was something in her eyes that told you otherwise. you should've thought of rue. should've remembered why you came but standing this close to maddy made everything else a blur.
"yeah," you said because what else were you supposed to say to maddy perez? it was always going to be a yes. there was no question about that.
she smiled slightly. not surprised but satisfied. she took your hand briefly guiding you out through the crowd. fingers warm around yours for only a second before letting go.
outside the cold air hit your skin immediately. you exhaled without realizing you'd been holding your breath. the noise of the party dulled. the driveway was dim lined with cars packed too close together. you followed a step behind her. watching the way her feels clicked softly against the pavement.
she unlocked her car and slid inside. you settled into the passenger seat shutting the door behind you as quiet filled the space between you. the air smelled faintly like old leather and perfume. it lingered stronger here.
for a minute neither of you said anything.
soft gold flickering over her sharp cheekbones and glossy lips. one hand resting loosely on the wheel while the other adjusted the music lower. something slow playing quietly. you looked at her longer than you meant. her lips pouty.
"you still stare," she said. eyes staying on the road. you looked away immediately feeling caught.
“i wasn’t staring,” you muttered and you didn't have to look at her to hear the smile on her face when she said 'you always did.' that made your stomach turn.
the city blurred outside the window. familiar streets melting into late night emptiness. you felt strangely calm sitting beside her.
her apartment, or rather studio, was nothing like you'd expected but entirely her. a little hole in the wall filled with traces of her life over the past few years. you looked at the only photograph she had tucked to frame of her mirror. her and rue. how peculiar.
"you want another drink?" she asked. just a few steps over and you were in her kitchen.
"um yeah. why not?" you replied and watched her smile over her shoulder. you leaned against the counter watching her move around the small kitchen. comfortable. familiar in her own space. she handed you a glass and your fingers brushed hers. this time your fingers were the ones to linger longer than necessary.
you moved toward the couch eventually settling into opposite corners. the conversations came easier than expected. catching up without it feeling forced. she asked about your job, your apartment, the things you liked now. things you hated. she listened closely when you answered. her hand resting on her arm propped on the back of the couch. you realized you couldn’t remember the last time someone listened like that.
you're not sure exactly how it happened but one of you shifted closer. then the other. then your knees were brushing. her leg tucked beneath her. her arm resting along the back of the couch now. the street lights glowing through the window.
you noticed when her gaze dropped to your mouth and her head tilted to the side exposing her neck. you noticed your eyes doing the same. the space between you hung heavy with desire but neither of you rushed through it.
until you made a move. your hand rested on her neck slowly tracing the curve of her jawline leaning closer without thinking. her neck extending towards you until she closed the gap kissing you.
the kiss was slow. careful like she wanted to know how you'd respond before taking more. your hand wrapped around the back of her neck pulling her closer until the distance disappeared completely. until her legs were pushing on yours.
nothing felt rushed. just slow heat burning low. her hands clung to your waist pulling you in a way that encouraged you to lay down. your bodies shifted until you were flush against the couch and her small frame hovered over your body. your lips still tangled in a kiss that only broke every few seconds so you could catch your breath.
the tight dress she'd been wearing rod up her thighs. she took your hands guiding them to her waist. you clung to it as she planted herself on your lap. the next few seconds were a blur of roaming hands and wet lips until you found yourself lying on her dark silk sheets. fingers spreading over the fabric grasping at whatever could ground you.
her eyes never left yours as her fingers curled under the straps of her dress pulling down so painfully slow you were dying with anticipation. the straps slid down her shoulders and she let go allowing it fall to the floor. you stared at the lacy fabric that clung to her skin. molding to every curve. her body truly a masterpiece of sharp lines and soft curves. the delicate slope of her shoulders. the plane of her stomach. you were somehow shocked that she still had her belly pierced. you remember when she showed it to rue.
she walked carefully towards you before sinking her knee into the mattress between your legs. her fingers curling around your thigh tracing up the fabric of your jeans until they were tiptoeing over to your button and zipper. everything felt like an insanely slow and painstakingly torturous ritual.
"please," you muttered lifting your hips. her only response a crooked smile followed by a lip bite. her lips crashed against yours and this kiss was nothing like the one on the couch. it was hungry and demanding. her tongue sliding into your mouth exploring and conquering. one of her hands slid up your chest until her fingers cupped your jaw.
the hand that'd been teasing at your zipped pulled on it with purpose. the sound impossibly loud in the quiet space. her fingers dipped inside the denim. brushing against the fabric of your underwear. you couldn't stop the soft gasp that escaped into her mouth. she swallowed the sound. the kiss growing more possessive as her hand explored the heat building between your legs. her thumb pressed against you through the thin fabric. a slow deliberate circle that made your hips buck.
her fingers hooked into your waistband tugging on your jeans and underwear giving you a silent hint. you shimmied out of them kicking them off the rest of way. she broke the kiss only to run her hands up the side of your body lifting your shirt in the process.
she settled between your thighs again. her weight a delicious pressure that anchored you to the bed. her hands roamed your body tracing the curve of your hips, the dip of your waist as one hand slid up to cup your breast. her thumb circled your nipple while her other hand returned to the heat between your legs. this time there was no barrier. her fingers slid through your wetness. a slow exploring touch that made your back arch, a silent plea for more. she leaned down. her lips hovering just above your ear. the sound of her breathing in your ear made you squirm.
you closed your eyes for a second and the next her mouth was on you. her tongue a masterpiece swirling around your clit before flicking. she built a rhythm that was slow then impossibly fast. always keeping you on the edge. you could feel the heat building in the pit of your stomach. a coil of pleasure tightening with every flick of her tongue. your hands found they way to her hair. holding her to you as you rocked your hips against her face.
"please," you gasped. "maddy, please." and she chuckled. the vibration sending another wave of pleasure through you. she looked up at you. those eyes so seductive and tantalizing. that was all it took. the coil snapped. waves of pleasure washed so intense washed over that. they were almost painful. you cried out her name as your body convulsed. your back arching off the bed. hands fisting the sheets. she didn't stop though. her tongue continued moving as you rode out the aftershocks until you were a trembling panting mess under her.
when she finally pulled away, she crawled up your body. she smiled. her lipstick faded but her lips still glossed. glazed with your arousal. her hair sat less perfectly than before but she still looked perfect. she radiated a glow. god, she really was an angel.
you pulled her down with all the strength you could muster. fingers curling around the back of her neck. your lips collided tenderly. you could taste yourself on her tongue. a reminder of the pleasure she had ensued. blessed you with. your hand traveled down her back. fingers fumbling with the hook of her bra snapping it open. the fabric hung limply between your bodies.
you pushed it away. your hands immediately touching nearly every surface of her exposed skin. smooth and warm beneath your palms. she shivered at your touch. a soft sigh escaping her lips as you pulled her closer until there was no space left between your bodies. your hands roamed as you kissed again.
"your turn," she whispered breaking the kiss. her voice husky with desire. she leaned forward. her breasts brushing against yours as she planted her hands on either side of your head. "show me what you've got," she purred. her lips curling into a wicked smirk.
you didn't need to be told twice. your hands found her hips guding her up until she was hovering over your face. knees on either side of your head. the sight of her so close and open for you was intoxicating. you pulled her down. tongue finding her slick in a single confident stroke. she drew in a sharp breath and you smiled against her. it was like a reward.
you lost yourself in the moment. completely consumed by her. everything about her...her taste...the way her thighs trembled. you explored her with your tongue. learning every ridge. every fold. every spot that made her gasp your name. her grip tightened on your head as you brought her closer and closer to the edge. when she finally came, it was with a shuddering cry. her body convulsing above you as waves of pleasure washed over her.
the rest of the night was a blur of tangled limbs and shared breaths. you moved together in a dance. a silent conversation spoken in the language of touch. you learned the map of her body. memorizing the constellation of freckles on her shoulder. the sensitive spot behind her knee. the way she arched her back when you bit down gently on her collarbone.
you explored each other with a hunger that was insatiable. a desperate need to make up for all the years you had spent wanting. all the moments you had wasted pretending you didn't.
hours later you laid tangled together in the mess of sheets. your bodies coated with sweat and satisfaction. she rested her face on her pillow. her breathing soft. you traced lazy patterns on her arm.
"you know-" she said, her voice a soft murmur against the pillow. "rue is gonna kill me." you froze. the mention of your sister's name was like a bucket of cold water. a sudden reminder of the world outside this room. "she's always been so protective of you," maddy continued. oblivious to the panic rising in your chest. "she'd have my head if she knew i was the one to corrupt her sweet little sister."
you couldn't help but laugh at that last part. corrupt? i mean did she notice what you did with your tongue? we were already halfway there.
"i don't think she'd see it that way," you said. your fingers resuming their dance on her arm. "she'd probably just be happy i'm finally getting laid."
maddy lifted her head. her eyes searching yours. there was a vulnerability there you hadn't seen before. a softness that rivaled the dominant woman who had just thoroughly ravished you.
"i'm serious," she said. her voice dropping to a near whisper. "she's been through so much, you know? i just...i don't want to be another thing that hurts her."
you looked at her, like really looked at her, and for the first time you saw past the flawless makeup and the carefully constructed armor. you saw the girl who had stood by your sister's side through thick and thin. the friend who had picked up the pieces when rue had been shattered. you saw the soft heart that beat beneath the tough exterior. the fierce loyalty that she so carefully guarded. it was a side of her you'd only ever caught glimpses of. a depth you'd never bothered to explore because it was way easier to keep her at a distance and categorize her as just rue's beautiful, unattainable friend.
but now lying in her bed, the scent of her perfume still clinging to your skin, you saw it all. it terrified you. this wasn't supposed to be anything more than a one-night stand. just a reckless, impulsive decision fueled by alcohol and years of unspoken attraction. a secret you'd keep tucked away in the back of your mind. but as you looked at her, as you looked at the vulnerability in her eyes, you knew this was something more.
"we should probably just…forget this ever happened," you said. the words tasting like instant regret in your mouth. it was a coward's way out. you knew that but it was the only way you knew how to protect yourself. protect her. protect rue.
maddy's expression didn't change but you saw the flicker of hurt in her eyes before she quickly masked it with a cool indifference. "right," she said. her voice flat. "just a one-night stand. no big deal."
she rolled away from you. sliding out of bed. you wanted to say something. to take back the words. to tell her that you didn't meant it. that you wanted this. that you wanted her, but the words wouldn't come out. you were a coward.
you watched her slide the robe over her shoulders tying a knot before lifting her hair over her shoulders. you just laid there. watching her move towards the bathroom. you knew you had to leave. to get out of there before you did any more damage.
you slipped out of bed. your movements slow. hoping and wishing she'd come out and say something. when you heard the shower head turn on, you sighed. searching for your clothes. as you got dressed, you thought about rue. would maddy tell her? you had to talk to her.
you knew you would see maddy again. you knew you would have to face her and the consequences of your actions...but for now all you could do was walk.
