Chapter 23- Butterflies

{No one's POV}

"S-Sky?" Bloom squeaked as she became very aware of Sky's hot breath on her neck and his lips that were hovering mere centimetres above her skin. Sky made no sign of letting go, if anything he held her closer to his very muscular body. Suddenly, she found herself slammed against the wall, her hands pinned to the sides of her head, her eyes meeting midnight blue ones. Her breath caught in her throat and she couldn't help thinking goddamn that was hot as the blonde's face inched slowly towards her own. She could feel his breath fan her cheek and saw the miniscule sparks of electric blue crackling away in his dark eyes.

Before she could say anything, his pale pink lips met her own in a desperate kiss. His need for her was conveyed through way he pressed himself against her. It lasted for only a few, blissful moments before he hastily pulled away.

"Shit," Sky mutters under his breath, raking a hand through his hair. He barely takes notice to the stunned red-head in front of him until a minute later. Bloom was frozen to the spot, her eyes like saucers, fingers lightly on her lips and not a word came out of her mouth. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have don-" Sky started but was cut off

"Why'd you do it?" Bloom interrupted, her voice a hoarse whisper that she immediately cursed. She didn't want him to think that he had such an effect on her, especially after his reaction to kissing her. All thoughts came to a standstill as Sky's stared at her, the intensity of it burning a hole through her head. His emotions and thoughts piled up inside his head, every time he had wanted to kiss her, every time he wanted to hold her in his arms, every time he wanted to tell her just how much she meant to him until he couldn't hold it in any longer. "Because I like you Bloom! Because you're the person I look forward to seeing every day. Because I can never get you off my mind no matter how much I try! Because just hearing your voice or seeing your face makes me smile and I can't help it," he looked up to see Bloom staring straight back at him, her eyes widened, if possible, further. Misinterpreting her frozen stance for unrequited feelings, he turned away. "I've just ruined everything haven't I? You should just ignore me," he started but was cut off, once again, by the red head. Instead of talking, however, he was interrupted by her grabbing his shirt and pressing her lips to his.

All the emotions of the night -good and bad- poured into the kiss. It was full of ecstasy, frustration and want. Sky, after his brain finally registering what was happening, responded with just as much fervour. He soon took control of the kiss, pushing her against the wall with so much force that she ended up a few inches above the ground. It would've hurt, had he not have protected her by putting his hands on her back, letting his fingers take the hit. They both made no sign of letting go as Bloom's slender finger laced through the roots of his blonde hair, tugging slightly. He pressed harder against her to show his pleasure and moved his hands so they tightly gripped her waist. It was an odd combination, Bloom's cherry red, rough and slightly chapped lips working against his pale pink, plump and smooth ones, but they fitted perfectly together.

They finally broke the lip-lock, panting slightly and resting their foreheads together. A small smile played on Bloom's lips as Sky played with a lock of her hair that had escaped from her ponytail.

"Whoa," Bloom breathed out softly, her arms now loosely resting on his shoulders

"Whoa," Sky echoed, not knowing what else to say before a sudden memory replayed. He took a step back and a small crease formed in between Bloom's eyebrows. "You like Andy, why would you kiss me?" He asked. She burst out laughing, not even stopping when her stomach began to ache. As it finally died down, she wiped a tear from her eye and sat down on the bed massaging her waist. She looked at the confused blonde in front of her and chuckled quietly again, shaking her head.

"Why on earth would you think I like Andy or that Andy likes me?" She asked incredulously

"He said that he wanted to talk with you, that's the lowkey definition of I wanna ask you out or I wanna break up with you. Since you weren't together in the first place I assumed..." He trailed off, taking in Bloom's raised eyebrow and unimpressed expression.

"I wonder how many calories you burned jumping to conclusions," she wondered out loud before rolling her eyes. "He wanted to know what was the best way to ask out Bree so he thought he should ask a girl. Maybe if you stuck around you would've known but no, you just stormed away like a pregnant woman with a mood swing!" She snapped, glaring at him in annoyance. His stupid mood had ruined her whole night, and it was just a misunderstanding?

But now it's your favourite night since you've kissed twice argued her subconscious

Shut up! No it's not! She lied

You idiot, I'm literally you, I know you're lying

She was brought back to reality with his next words, "A pregnant woman with a mood swing? You could do better," he said amused. She scowled and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling his face close to hers.

"Listen here idiot, I freaking like you but right now that's not going to stop me from sucker punching you so I suggest you get your head out your ass and stop questioning how I insult you," she said threateningly

"Did you just say you liked me?" he asked and her eyes widened with realisation for a second before sighing "Yeah I did, I do like you," she said quietly and blushed. Sky was silent for a second before tipping her chin up with his hand and softly pecking her lips. The 3rd kiss of the night was slow and sweet, nothing like the other two shared before. Her hands went to the back of his neck and pushed his head closer while Sky's arm snapped around the back of her waist and held her tightly, daring her to move away.

When they finally broke away, neither could stop the goofy grins spreading on their faces.

"Look, I really like you, do you like me?" (A/N I couldn't phrase this better so sorry for the slight cringe) Bloom said suddenly, chewing her lip anxiously, decided ng to come straight out with it.

"Do you not remember me saying literally 5 minutes ago that I like you?" He asked

"Oops, I guess I just got used to tuning out your voice since shit comes out of it so much," she replied

"Less of the sass Firecracker," he smiled, rolling his eyes

"Or what, Scarecrow?" She teased. Before she could blink she was lying on the bed with Sky on top of her, his lips dangerously close to her ear. Her heart rate skyrocketed and her cheeks flamed red.

"Or I might just have to shut you up," he said, his voice deep. He pushed himself back up and drank in her body before closing his eyes and groaning "Fuck, that outfit," he whispered huskily and Bloom looked at him confused. She inspected her clothing and her face practically set on fire when she realised that the top had ridden up so far that it was just below her breasts. She hastily pulled it down and muttered something about changing her clothes before sprinting out the room.

There is only one thing a girl can do when her crush admits to having feelings for her and kissing her 3 times: call her best friend. She went over to the room where Stella and Brandon were staying and thumped on the door. When there was no answer, she barged in with no warning. She found her best friend with her legs wrapped around her brother's waist, ferociously making out with him and very nearly screamed with horror. Instead, she composed herself and cleared her throat. It got their attention and for a moment they all just stood there in shock, before Stella shrieked and jumped off her boyfriend while Brandon rolled his eyes at the interruption.

"Look, as much as I'd love to traumatise myself, I have to tell Stella something so you," Bloom pointed at Brandon and snapped her fingers twice and pointed to the door, "Need to get out,"

He groaned, not wanting to leave. "Why can't you just say it to me as well?"

"It's about periods," Bloom said without a second thought and watched with amusement as her brother got weirded out and fled the room.

"So, what's wrong?" Stella asked, patting the space next to her. Bloom sat down with a sigh and found herself spilling every last detail of what happened tonight. When she was finished she looked up at Stella, who let out a high pitched squeal of glee.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! It finally happened! I've been shipping this since birth!" She word vomited

"Stella, you've only known me for 5 months," Bloom stated with an eye roll

"Oh, well, I can still ship it!" She retorted.

"Aside from your idiocy, what do I do?" Bloom asked and groaned when Stella smacked her upside the head.

"What you're going to do, is get back in there, make out with and shove your tongue down his throat!" She said perkily while Bloom cringed. (A/N I cringed too but it's for the sake of the story)

"That was way too detailed for my liking but I get what you're saying so I'm gonna let it go," Bloom replied before going into the bathroom to change her clothes. She came out wearing a black fold-over cotton crop top with khaki cargo pants and opened the door to find her brother falling over.

"How much did you hear?" She asked

"How much do you think I heard?" He replied evasively. She sighed and buried her face in her hands.

"Knowing your girly gossiping habits, I'd say all of it," he flashed a winning smile and she looked to the heavens, silently asking God how they were related. She then sighed and walked straight past him to the room where she was staying. Right before she opened the door, Brandon yelled,

"Use protection Bloomy!" Ensuring that everyone in the house could hear. He chuckled as he saw her flaming face matched by her glare. She hurried into the room without another word and sighed in exasperation.

Suddenly, a figure came up behind her and grabbed her by the waist. She was about to kick him right where the sun don't shine but then stopped when she felt sandy-blonde hair brush her cheek. She turned her head to see Sky, his lips in a pout.

"Where'd you go?" He asked but she couldn't answer with his fingers skimming her bare stomach. She had to take a few deep breaths to compose herself before using a usual snarky reply.

"I know you're obsessed with me since I'm so awesome but I was only gone for a few minutes," she smiled sweetly but it was cut off when he placed his lips softly on her exposed collarbone.

Her breathing hitched as they travelled further up, pressing against the side of her neck, slightly harder each time. She subconsciously tilted her head to give him better access, her eyes half-closing in pleasure. He continued until he reached the underside of her jaw before making his way down again. A shudder went through her as he reached a sweet spot at the middle of her neck and he definitely felt it as his lips lingered there, toying slightly with her skin. She involuntarily moaned at the action and her stomach did backflips as his fingers firmly gripped her waist in response. He finally reached her collarbone once again and the kisses became lighter, mere butterflies of affection on her skin. She had never been happier with her choice of outfit.

After a while of... Well you know what; Bloom looked at the clock to find that it was nearly 4 in the morning. They had spent around 2 hours like this. She escaped from the warmth of Sky's arms and got under the covers of the bed, not waiting to see if Sky joined her. Suddenly, the whole bed shook as a huge weight jumped onto it. Bloom nearly fell out of bed, if it wasn't for the fact that the weight was on top of her. She groaned but still refused to open her eyes.

"Sky?" she said

"Yes beautiful," she blushed at the nickname

"You're an idiot," she replied, smacking him hard. He yelped in pain and surprise.

"That is no way to treat the man of your dreams," he protested grumpily

"Get off me," he finally rolled off her, grinning like a child who had been given ice-cream for the first time. "Why are you smiling like Chucky?"

He scoffed in offence before replying "You didn't deny that I'm the man of your dreams," he murmured before cupping her face in his hands and kissing her softly. Everything else vanished as his hand pressed against the small of his back and her hands touched his chest lightly. She was content with staying like this but, unfortunately, humans need air to live. I don't mind dying like this she thought but nevertheless pulled away from the comfort of the blonde's lips. She turned around so that her back was pressed up against his chest.

"That's not fair, I can't see your face like this," he whined

"You sound like a five-year-old," she deadpanned

"In the space of 5 minutes you've called me an idiot, Chucky and a five-year-old. Would it kill you to say something nice?" He pouted and she silently laughed

"No, but it may kill you,"

"How so?"

"Your ego will inflate so much that it grows too big for your body and then slowly, but surely, your skin will stretch until it rips apart and then KABLOOEY, you're dead!" She explains perkily. A moment of silence. Another moment. Another. Another.

"Oh my god, you're an actual psycho," he murmurs.

"I would take offense but we both know it's true," she grins and quickly turns around to plant a kiss on his jaw.

"I'll never get one over you will I?" He asks no-one in particular, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"No, but it's fun to see you try," a small smile made its way onto her face as she snuggled in closer to his warm body. He made a sound of contentment before dipping his head down slightly. Sparks and tingles went through every inch of Bloom's skin as Sky's pale pink lips roamed her bare back, back, shoulders and collarbone, stopping only to linger on certain spots. Her body shivered at his touch and she had to squeeze her eyes shut to regain some control. She moaned quietly as his finger trailed softly down her spine. This was heaven and hell all at once. That was how they fell asleep, cuddling and touching and kissing just like true lovers.
