She couldn't help but laugh when Delphine gave a small cough with her lips still expertly latched around the joint. It was such a cute cough – small and dainty even.
"Come on, you smoke cigarettes. Same diff!" she said around her laughter. She was lying on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, with Delphine sitting on the floor near her head, puffing away at the joint she had rolled for her. Cosima, on the other hand, had her own firmly clutched in her hand, and she was enjoying this. She rarely got baked with a friend, she liked to do it alone (or, lately, with one of her many new siblings across a webcam connection). But Delphine was an exception.
She was an exception to a lot of things.
"So, this is how you spend your time in here?" Delphine asked her, and Cosima nodded, twisting her lips into a small smirk.
"I like being alone, sue me."
"So you just…sit in here and smoke and…?"
"Read, mostly. And I don't smoke all the time." Welp, there was a lie right there.
"Mhm," Delphine hummed out, bumping her head with Cosima's. For some reason, she slid her body closer to the edge, and now her head was hanging over the edge of the bed, and she could look at Delphine properly. It hurt her neck a little, but that was OK.
"You don't get lonely in here?"
"Sometimes. But I'm used to being lonely, I guess. Only child, alone with no friends in Minnesota. I kind of have no choice."
"You have me."
She smiled and brought an arm up to nudge Delphine gently in the shoulder. "Yeah, I have you now."
She didn't know how what happened next, happened. But the next thing she knew Delphine had pressed her lips to hers in a bizarre, upside down kiss fuelled on by the bravery brought on by a small little joint. And Cosima found herself helping Delphine onto the bed near her soon enough, a flurry of hands and lips and clothes ensuing right after that.
And for some reason, when she found herself lying on top of the blonde, thinking that maybe she should stop before she did something that would get her into unimaginable trouble, she looked into Delphine's eyes and chased those thoughts away.
She wanted this. She'd wanted it since they met.
She was taking what she wanted and she wasn't giving anything back.
