"Tori. Tori, wake up," Jade whispered to her friend, who was leaning on her shoulder. As they were sleeping, she must've have done that during the night.
Tori did not wake up.
Jade brushed hair out of Tori's face and kissed her on the forehead. "Come on, my shoulder's asleep."
"Mmm, no way," Tori finally responded, cuddling closer.
Jade nuzzled her hair. "Wake up or I'll throw you off the bed."
"Hmm, you wouldn't do that..."
"I would, and I wouldn't even give it a second thought."
"You love me too much to do it," Tori mumbled, reaching up a little and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Jade tried to hide a smile, but failed. Instead of continuing the conversation, Jade started stroking Tori's cheek.
Not expecting the gentle touch, Tori let a soft sigh escape her lips.
Laughing under her breath, she continued. Right as Tori began to feeling drowsy, Jade quickly shoved her off the bed, effectively proving her wrong.
"Owww! Jade, you little..."
Jade had accidently shoved her into the corner of the side table.
Tori tried holding back tears of pain, but with no prevail.
"Tori! I... I... didn't... Come here."
Tori was very hesitant, and for a good reason. Jade didn't deserve to be trusted after that, but it was obvious she regretted doing so. Tori slowly got off the floor and back onto the bed.
Jade reached out to cup the side of her face, which Tori ended up flinching away from. Going slower this time, she tried again, Tori allowing her to this time. Jade wiped away her tears and looked at the damage. It was definitely going to be a black eye. "I'm so sorry...," she whispered, gently kissing her closed eyelid.
"You are so getting payback for this, West," Tori mumbled, but still leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
"I didn't want to hurt you," Jade continued. "I... only wanted to prove a point..."
"Point made." Sudden, Tori jumped in top of Jade, pinning her down.
"Seriously? Your way of getting me back is this? Real mature."
"Well, unlike you, West, I don't find joy in people's pain."
Jade immediately shut up, feeling guilty.
Tori ducked down and placed several kisses on both of her cheeks, not one to get revenge.
Jade closed her eyes with a small smile on her face.
"You are so bad at hiding the fact that you love me," Tori teased.
"I uh... Shut up!"
Tori laughed almost tauntingly, which, in turn, made Jade push up on Tori's shoulders and to her off. Tori did get off, only to be pinned down by Jade. "Why?! We were already even!"
Jade smirked. "I don't play to get even."
Tori rolled her eyes, then cringed. Her left eye really did hurt.
Jade lowered her head so that their foreheads were touching. "Sorry... about your eye."
Tori reached up and touched the side of Jade's face. "You're really losing your edge, Jade... I like the new you," she somewhat teased, somewhat meant.
Jade rolled her eyes. "At school, no one better find out, Vega."
"What, the fact that you love having me as a friend?"
"Vega!"
"Okay, geez."
Jade finally dropped the act and submitted to Tori's touch, leaning into it while still keeping herself balanced.
"... I'm telling the whole school."
"Tori!"
"Love you!"
