[ Dan Heng's brows lift. ]

You?

[ She's never once considered Ren as someone to be scared of anything. She's always seemed to go for what she wants, regardless of who might talk or what they might say. It's something Dan Heng has always both envied and admired in her, wondering what it would be like to be so confident that nothing shakes you—

Except it's clear that some things do shake Ren after all. Or rather...

Dan Heng's breath catches in her throat.

She's smart, logical. Always has been. And even with her propensity for self-doubt, there's no denying what Ren is saying right now, dancing around her words in a way uncharacteristic of her even as her nose and her fingers tell the truth of her feelings. "This girl I like"... Dan Heng has always tried not to allow herself hope, but this isn't even that, it's... ]


But what if you're not wrong? [ Despite how nervous she feels, her voice is steady. ] What if she does like you too?

[ It's tempting, when Ren seeks confirmation once more, to take things into her own hands. After all, it's clear now that they both understand what's happening, what the true meaning of this moment between them is. But something about taking the lead right in this moment feels wrong, and so Dan Heng just smiles.

Ren always has been the more forward of the two of them, anyway. ]


I am.

[ Somewhere nearby, a movie is playing. As far as action movies go, it's not bad—but Dan Heng has forgotten to care about it. She leans her head into the soft touch of her roommate's hand, and once again where Ren trembles she's somehow steady, her own free hand lifting to the other woman's shoulder.

The luckiest person in the world... surely that's her. Right? For someone as beautiful and striking as Ren to even glance her way, let alone stay looking... ]


Take a chance, Ren.

[ If there were room to talk, Dan Heng would tell Ren that she has no intention of taking anything back. But before she can do that, she's scooped in close, her roommate's mouth finding hers with a firm forwardness that has Dan Heng's breath rush from her lips, her own hand sliding from where it rests against Ren's shoulder to wind instead behind it, wrapping around her back.

Yes. This is what she's wanted for longer than she can count, now. Finally...

Humming lowly, she winds herself in close to answer the kiss, her lips parting ever so barely as her body comes flush to Ren's, her pulse spiking in her veins and her head thrumming with knowledge and curiosity and thousands more things that she can't put into words. Cautious, curious, her tongue skates past her lips to brush over Ren's, tasting the fullness of her lower lip, the remnants of salt from the popcorn. ]

[ Ren isn't the only one who feels dizzy. Dan Heng hasn't kissed that many people before, and it's easy to find herself swallowed up by the sensations, to kiss until she can't breathe (because she's forgotten to), to gasp for air when the other whispers against her mouth.

The question is molten against her lips, earning a nod, a breathless little sound of agreement. Later, she'll tell her that there was never any question, that she was always going to say yes—that Ren was always going to be hers the moment she wanted to be, just like Dan Heng has always, always been Ren's—but for now, that breathless sound is all she gets as the younger woman shuffles in closer, sighs at the taste of her tongue, curls her arm tighter around her shoulders even as the fingers of her other hand hold tight.

Dan Heng really wants this. She's really wanted this for a while. And Ren...

Well, if there were any lingering doubts left, they're gone now. Dan Heng finds herself smiling into their kiss, content even as her blood pulses hot through her veins. ]

[ Dan Heng sighs once more against Ren's mouth, her arms wrapping that little more tightly, not realizing what each of her breaths and movements is doing to the other woman—neither possessing quite enough presence of mind to control her situation even if she did. With her own relative inexperience in mind, she's terrified of getting lost in this, and the last thing she wants is to lay there like a deer in headlights while Ren pleases her.

No, Dan Heng wants Ren to know just how much she also is wanted. Which means that for these first few moments, perhaps ironically, there's little for her to do but cling and grasp like Ren is the only person in her world... and breathe, desperately trying to get herself grounded. ]


Ren—

[ It's gasped out just as the other woman's hands start to move, sliding down over Dan Heng's sides and her hips, touching bare skin in a way that makes the younger feel like she's being shocked by pure electricity, in the best of ways—

Is there even a good way to be shocked by electricity? Aeons, she's going insane...

With a soft, shaky sigh, Dan Heng pulls back just enough to shift herself atop Ren, legs caging the other woman's in as she looks down at her in silence for just a moment. ]


In case you didn't know, I'm already yours. I have been for a long time now.

[ And she leans down to kiss her again. ]

Sorry it took me so long.

[ She won't explain. It's obvious enough, probably, what it was that's been holding her back all this time—what has been, it seems, holding both of them back despite both wanting the same thing. She smiles, the expression soft and shy, and leans down over Ren, brushing her lips against the other woman's in a brief kiss. ]

Should we turn the movie off? The truth is, I'm kind of crazy about you too. I'd rather not find myself distracted by one of those silly action scenes when I should be focusing on you...

[ Her cheeks warm again even as she says it. She's not good at this, but... she also wants to make sure that Ren knows she means it, really means it. After seeing her nervousness earlier, her worry her feelings wouldn't be returned... ]

[ With the room in silence again, Dan Heng unwinds her leg from Ren and moves to lie next to her again, reaching out to run fingers down the side of the other's face. ]

You look beautiful, Ren.

[ It's a sweet whisper, one that Dan Heng follows by reaching to remove her glasses, putting them aside before she moves to rest her head against the other woman's, forehead to forehead once more. ]

I'm sorry I made you wait. I just... I was afraid to hope you might mean it.

[ Dan Heng just smiles, shakes her head as Ren's thumb runs along her lower lip, as the older girl tangles their legs together. In hindsight, maybe Ren was obvious, but... ]

Now that I look at it, maybe. But I...

[ She shakes her head. ]

I'm more of a coward than you. I was too scared to risk it. You're so beautiful and popular, I couldn't imagine how you'd...

[ And Dan Heng trails off, wrinkling her nose in embarrassment and frustration. How does she explain it? ]

[ Her lips part, a protest on her tongue when Ren calls her an idiot, but any form of complaint is ended by the press of the other's mouth to hers again, Dan Heng answering the kiss with a sigh, legs parting a little to give Ren the access she seeks with the press of her knee. A shudder of pleasure runs down her spine as the other woman whispers into her mouth, nipping at her lower lip, her own hands moving to rest at Ren's sides. ]

Mmn. You can say that, but you, Ren... you're so perfect. Haven't you seen the way everyone looks at you?

[ How would someone like Ren look at her, when she had some of the most amazing people on campus eyeing her, chasing after her? ]

Every time I saw you with someone, it was someone else as perfect as you are. I didn't think I could even start to measure up.

[ Dan Heng looks up at Ren in quiet shock when the other scolds her, teases her. The blush still ever-present on her cheeks since their first kiss, darkens, and she closes her eyes against those kisses, tilting her head back with a soft, embarrassed whine on her lips. ]

Girlfriend...?

[ Her fingers reach, stroke down over Ren's cheek, eyes searching the other's face. ]

That was kinda sudden of you, huh...

[ But it's a smile on her lips, curling the corners despite herself even as she tries to hide it. ]

[ Ren repeats words that Dan Heng barely remembers saying. Her cheeks catch fresh heat, and she looks up at the other, biting her lower lip as she slowly starts to put two and two together, to realize what she agreed to in the midst of...

Shyly, she laughs, and turns to press her head into Ren's shoulder. ]


I... I'm not unhappy about it. Somehow I just didn't quite... realize we agreed to that. I was... I was caught up in the whole thing. In... in you, I guess. So I didn't... ah.

[ Aeons, this is embarrassing. ]

[ She blinks as she watches the look on Ren's face change, recognizes the concern and the worry starting to settle on her features—this time, it's Dan Heng's heart that sinks in her chest. ]

Wait, no—

[ The last thing she wants is for the other to think she's doubting this, that she's hesitant. She might be awful at this whole thing, but she's not doubting anything, as much as it might sound like she is, so... ]

You're not pushing me. I want this.

[ The fingers of both hands reach up, cupping Ren's cheeks in answer. ]

I'm sorry. I haven't... I've never really... done anything like this before. Been... involved with anyone. So I'm... I guess I'm out of practice.

[ Ren reacts with relief, with sweetness, and Dan Heng finds herself smiling at the relief on the other's face, a soft sigh on her lips as kisses are pressed into her palm, as their noses are nudged together. ]

Okay.

[ It's a simple answer, whispered in response as her fingers curl around Ren's. ]

I'll be your girlfriend, Ren.

[ Exclusively. No one else. Just the two of them. ]
