study buddies to lovers
I don’t know how it happened. I mean, maybe I should have expected it - there had always been something there. The flirting that went just a little to far, leaning in just a bit to close while I read over her shoulder. So yeah, maybe I should have expected it, and maybe some part of me did. What I can’t figure out though, is how it happened. How we went from that to this. Studying side by side to kissing in corners of the library no one could find. It just...happened. She was next to me, as she always was. We’d swapped essays and were quietly marking the others work. When our break finally arrived, 15 minutes this time, we’d started chatting, as we always did. She’d touch my shoulder, I’d say something flirty, we’d throw our heads back laughing. And then...it happened. Suddenly, we were kissing. Soon, that one kiss turned into kissing in all our breaks, turned to sneaking past the old librarian to make out in the copy room, turned to holding hands, turned to calling each other “darling”, turned to going out, turned to late night phone calls, turned to cuddles under blankets during a storm, turned to whispered promises and reverent gazes. So no, I don’t know how it happened. But I know I’m not going back.
- Never <3
