A.N: Hi everyone! this is a Cophine multi chapter fic. The story will follow Delphine and Cosima's relationship. In this fic Cosima's not sick (I can't hurt her!) but Delphine still works for Leekie but not as Cosima's monitor, this is slightly AU-ish. I hope you guys give it a chance, if not, well, at least I'm enjoying writing it. This first chapter is just to explain a bit how the relationship started in this story. I promise the next chapter will be better. I just wanted to post this as soon as I could so I can get to the real story. Also if you want me to write prompts about any of the clones, I'm up for it. Feel free to leave your comments about this story. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
This story will be rated M, however this first chapter isn't. Also, next chapters will be longer.

The meeting
Cosima's been working on a research paper for more than five hours when she sees her, the french blonde beauty who has caught her interest since she met her two weeks ago. Her eyes follow the woman as she takes a seat at the nearest empty table and starts working on her homework.

Maybe I should say hi. Cosima thinks to herself, not noticing how the blonde is eyeing her discretely. After a few minutes of internal battle Cosima gathers the courage to say hi, she stands and walks to the other woman's table.

Delphine watches Cosima approaching her and her breath speeds up, she realizes Cosima's going to talk to her and she's definitely not sure what she's going to say, before she has time to come up with anything to say Cosima is already giving her the most charming smile she has ever seen.

"Hi Delphine! How are you?" Cosima manages to say sounding extra confident when in reality she's really nervous.
Delphine's breath catches in her throat when her eyes meet the scientist eyes, she's so beautiful. Delphine's so mesmerized with Cosima's beauty that she doesn't realize the girl has been calling her name several times now.

"Earth to Delphine, are you ok?"
"oh yeah, right.. Hi Cosima"
"wow you really went to your own little world over there" Cosima teases and Delphine can't help the blush spreading on her cheeks.

"Oui, sorry, I just… have a lot of work to do and I don't think I'll have time to finish it on time"
"Don't stress too much, what exactly are you researching about?" Cosima inquiries while picking up some books Delphine has spread across the table.

"It's about the evolution of complex patterns and honestly I'm a little lost with so much information" says Delphine huffing.
Cosima laughs at the adorableness of a frustrated Delphine. "Well, looks like this is your lucky day, I happen to know a lot about the topic. I can help you out if you want" she offers secretly wishing Delphine agrees.

Delphine smiles at the gesture, if she's being honest she really needs to finish the research and spending time with Cosima wouldn't hurt either. "I don't want to inconvenience yo…"
"non sense!" Cosima cuts her off while waving her hands dismissing Delphine's comment "I insist"

Both girls agree and decide to work over Cosima's apartment. They make their way to Cosima's apartment sharing how their week has been so far and talking about their favourite subjects.

"Welcome to my humble abode" Cosima gestures Delphine to enter. Delphine smiles at Cosima's antics.
Soon enough both girls are lost in the biology talks, the research paper has long been finished thanks to Cosima's vast knowledge and Delphine's fast learning.

"ok, enough biology talk for the day, I'm starving. What do you say we order something? My treat" Delphine says.
Cosima shakes frenetically her head "no, no. You are in my house, my treat"

"Oh no no missy, you helped me with my research. It's the least thing I can do"
Cosima sighs defeated, because now Delphine is pouting and she doesn't find it in her heart to say no to that face. "Fine" she grumbles.

"Don't worry, you'll pay next time" Delphine says while winking at her and ordering food for both.
Cosima's caught off guard Next time? wait! Did she really said next time? She can't keep the goofy grin off of her face. She will definitely be looking forward to that next time.

Food arrives and both girl eat while they chat about music. They are surprise to find out they like some artists that the other one listens as well. Both feel really comfortable around each other and neither wants to break the moment.

They decide to watch a movie, Cosima's not really paying attention, halfway through the movie Delphine leaned into her and now her head is resting in Cosima's shoulder while she has an arm around the blonde waist and is tracing lazy circles at the blonde's arm.

Delphine isn't paying attention to the movie either, she's more interested in Cosima's touch, she finds herself fighting the urge to lift her head from the girl's shoulder and just capture her lips into a kiss. She knows it's crazy, they've known each other for two weeks, but she has never felt this kind of connection with anyone before.

Talking with Cosima feels like talking with someone who she has known her whole life and her touch sends butterflies to her stomach and makes her skin tingle. She's been eyeing Cosima's lips for the last five minutes and she can't help but think how would those lips feel against hers, she doesn't notice the movie already ended, all she can see and pay attention to is Cosima.

"Delphine?" Cosima whispers afraid to ruin the moment, she can't quite know what's going on in the other girl's face but she can see that she's thinking, really hard.

The moment Delphine lifts her eyes and meet Cosima's she realizes how close they are to each other, she can feel Cosima's breath ghosting over her lips. Here goes nothing she thinks as she lifts her head and capture Cosima's lips on her own.

Cosima's surprised by the action but takes little time to respond. Their lips dance against each other, the kiss is sweet and gentle, almost as if both are afraid, when air becomes a necessity they rest their forehands together, both with their eyes still closed, trying to figure out what the other is thinking.

"Did you.. I'm sor…" Delphine starts.
"Don't, please don't say you are sorry." Cosima tells her.
Cosima grabs Delphine's face gently with both of her hands. "Listen, I wanted to kiss you. That was… awesome, I.. I want to repeat this, you know, the hanging out and the kissing. I like you Delphine, so please don't apologize"

Delphine feels her heart flutter at Cosima's words and she smiles brightly "You do? I didn't ruin everything?"
Cosima laughs and rubs her thumbs on Cosima's cheeks "No, not at all. If only you beat me by seconds, I was going to kiss you anyway"

Both laugh. "Well, you can still do it, you know" Delphine offers seductively sending Cosima's thoughts into override. She doesn't answer she just lean forward capturing Delphine's lips into a heated kiss, causing the blonde to moan at the sensation of Cosima's tongue tracing her lower lip.

They spend the night making out and getting to know each other. It's six in the morning when both girls finally pass out, Cosima's head resting on Delphine's chest as the taller girl wraps an arm around Cosima's waist.
