TOP OF THE WORLD (COPHINE FICLET)

From this prompt: Imagine Person A of your OTP not being able to reach the top shelf, so Person B lifts them up so they can reach.

I just had to write this. All mistakes are mine. Pre-And This is How We Begin events. Cophine fluff. No pain, I promise. Also for nadgarstek. And alsoSabinne, because I will dedicate to her all my Cophine things. Maybe. XD

Top of the World

Cosima had lived in this house for a few months and she already hated it. Not because of the interior or the ambiance or the architecture; no, she loved those things in this house.

It was the shelves that were killing her.

(Maybe it was her fault because she was small, but she would never consider that fact.)

(She also kind of regretted that she let Delphine put her most used textbook on the top shelf when they cleaned up last week.)

(Not that she regretted that, because taking a shower together afterwards to get rid of the dust all over their bodies was enough of a reward.)

She tried standing up on her tiptoes once again to reach for that damned book but failed once again. She sighed frustratedly and was about to grab a chair - which she should've thought already earlier - when she heard the familiar chuckle of Delphine.

"You so did this on purpose," Cosima muttered, turning around to narrow her eyes at the blonde. Delphine just smiled and walked to the smaller girl to peck her pouting lips before swiftly turning Cosima around by her waist and lifting her up with strong arms. Cosima gasped but balanced herself.

"Now reach for it," Delphine said.

Cosima rolled her eyes and peered at the top shelf where her book was.

There sat her evolutionary developmental biology books, and what she needed,Integrating Evolution and Biology, but that wasn't what caught her eye.

There on the shelf, hidden from her point of view with her feet on the floor, was a little stuffed panda bear holding up a sign.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Delphine said suddenly, just as Cosima finished reading the sentence on the board the bear was holding up.

Cosima squirmed in Delphine's arms until the blonde had let go of her and without missing a beat, the smaller girl wrapped her arms around Delphine's neck to pull her down into a searing kiss.

"Yes," she murmured, a smile pulling on her face. "But don't ever put my books on the top shelf, ce'st compris?"

Delphine chuckled but nodded and pecked Cosima's lips again. "Oui, ma chérie," she said with a warm smile.

(Delphine wanted to defile the shelf, but Cosima had classes that day so it had to wait.)

(It was defiled later that week.)

(The panda bear found its home on Cosima's table, beside the photo of the two taken by Sarah when they went to the beach last month.)
