AN: This is my first time writing a fanfic let alone one with smut, so I hope it works out well ^^"
Just a warning though, I'm a bit of a science nerd so there might be parts about immaculate conception or stuff like test tube babies/genetic engineering.
Do remember that I am in no way insulting anything or anyone in particular and that I am just trying to tell a good story.
Oh yeah, this is also not beta'd by anyone. If anyone would like to that'd be great.
Enjoy and please review!
Chapter 1: Somewhere only we know
[Callie's POV]
I sit at my computer desk, writing away at a report that should have been done yesterday. It is a Sunday night and usually I'm out. But not today, I'm stuck here finishing my report.
This is partially my fault of course; it had not crossed my mind that maybe a Criminal Minds marathon with my roommate Arizona was a bad idea.
I look at the clock on my table; it reads 1:02 AM. I groan as I turn my gaze back to the screen before me.
"…and it is well known that fetus' brains bathed in serotonin during the second trimesters are more likely to become serial killers since they require…"
I close my eyes and let my fingers dance across the keys, not caring about the content anymore. I hit save and print the paper. Turning off my computer, I sit and cradle my head with the palm of my hand.
The door to the dormitory opens, letting light slowly pool in. A blonde head pokes in and soon a person staggers in. The scent of alcohol wavers in as well. I don't bother turning because I know that it's Arizona.
Truth is… I've had the biggest crush on Arizona for the longest time. We have a certain agreement as roommates, we can have people over and the other cannot say anything or judge. She brings home a different girl home every other month essentially.
I snap back to reality as I feel arms wrap around my shoulders and a face pressing against mine.
"Hey buddy," I call out jokingly.
"…Mmm… you smell nice," she says as she breathes in.
Seeing that she is clearly intoxicated, I play along with the playful flirty banter.
"Yeah, but I'm sure you taste nicer," I whisper into her ear.
Her eyes light up, and instantly it is as if she just drank 3 cups of coffee. "Yup! Cause I'm awesome, and you know, badass."
I feel a grin creep in and I can't help but break out laughing.
"Yes, why yes you are," I say as I pull her into a big bear hug, "my little badass rockstar roommate."
She leans into the hug as she feels the effect of alcohol sinking in again. I pick her up and walk over to our room. Placing Arizona in her bed, I try to pull the covers over her. As I do so she pulls on my arm and I stumble onto her bed.
I look to her face and notice a devilish smile on her face as she says, "Why hi there…"
"Hi," I manage with a small smile.
She pulls me in and tries to place a kiss on my lips, but missed and instead left a sloppy trail on my cheek.
"Oopsies," she giggles.
Platonic kisses between us are normal, they happen often. Sometimes things even get a bit out of hand when one of us gets upset.
"Is something wrong?" I ask as she continues her attempts at kissing me. I push her down and hold her there so she stops.
She nods as tears roll down her cheeks and at the sight of that I pull her into my arms, placing her head against my chest.
As she sobs, I sing softly, hoping to lull her to sleep.
I wish I could tell you
I wish that I knew how
I wish I had the courage
To say I love you
Oh baby I'm so sorry
Can you please- please forgive me…
I just want you to be by my side
So I can feel your heartbeat against mine…
My voice trails off as I hear her breathing levels off, indicating that she has fallen asleep. I prop myself up to get off her bed, but I feel her arms tighten against my waist.
"Callie…" Arizona mumbles into my chest, "I love you…"
"…I love you too."
AN: So, should I continue? Or should I just go back to the drawing board?
