"Woah, Troian. Who pissed in your Cheerios?" Lucy asked after she watched the normally incredibly sweet Troian raise her voice at one of the assistants.
"What?" She bit out, incredibly irritated.
"You just proved my point for me. Are you alright? What's bugging you this much?" Lucy asked.
"Nothing, I'm fine." She answered shortly.
"Come on we're teams Trucy and Sparia. I know when something's eating at you. So spill."
"It's pathetic." The taller brunette added as Lucy rolled her eyes.
"I don't care, it's obviously bothering you for a reason. So what is it?"
"Shay and I have just been on the opposite schedules this whole week, so whenever I get to her place she's gone or just about to leave. And when she gets home I'm still asleep or am getting ready to leave. But who am I kidding, I don't sleep anymore, so I'm exhausted."
"Troi, I'm sorry." She said sympathetically as Troian just shrugged it off.
"Yeah, it sucks. But I'll get over it. It's just hard to sleep alone now. I'm used to her hogging the bed or falling asleep with her glasses on and she just looks so adorable. I just miss it, that's all."
"Wow, look at you. Can't sleep without her, spending the night at her place on a regular basis, loving everything about her. I'm happy for you, Troi. And look, it's Friday, so you can go home and cuddle for however long you want. And I think all of the Spemily scenes are next week, so you should be on the same schedule."
"Uhh I know, I used to be a badass, but she turned me into mush. It's just so right with her, you know? I've never felt this way about anyone. And yes, we do practically live together. Sometimes it's her place, sometimes it's mine."
"You guys are too cute. It really does suck though that you're on opposite schedules."
"It does, but at least we get to see each other sometimes."
"Do you sleep at her place when she's not there?"
"Not really, because I don't want Michaela to feel awkward, but Shay sometimes stays at mine when I'm not there. She likes to be there so we're guaranteed to see each other at least once a day."
"You guys are really solid then, aren't you?"
"We really are. I think this is it."
"Miss Bellisario, are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"I am, Miss Hale. Everything just clicks and feels right. I've been in a lot of relationships and nothing has ever felt this real or amazing. Plus, we can literally spend 24/7 with each other and not want to kill each other."
"Wow. I'm even happier for you now then. Has she met the fam yet?"
"Not yet, but I've been talking to my dad and he wants to have a big family dinner soon, so if she's up for it, I'd love to take her."
"I'm sure she would be honored. Have you met her family yet?"
"We were talking about spending a week in Toronto with her family over the hiatus. That's still like two months away, but we're looking into it."
"Aww, T!" Lucy squealed before she launched into Troian to envelope her in a big hug.
"Yeah." The taller girl blushed as she returned the hug.
"Check you out, you're in a better mood after just talking about her." The shorter girl pointed out.
"I guess you're right." She laughed slightly as she thought about it some more.
"Well hey, let's get to rehearsing and the day will be over before you know it. Then your lady is awaiting."
"Hello?" Troian shouted out as she walked into her house that evening. They had managed to finish their scenes on time and Troian was walking in her front door at 7:30pm on a Friday night.
"Kitchen!" She got a reply from her favorite person as she immediately started towards the kitchen.
"Hi babe. I missed you this week." She said as she walked up behind Shay, who was stirring something on the stove, and linked her arms around Shay's waist.
"I missed you too, remind me to punch whoever decide to put us on completely different schedules this week."
"Will do. In fact, I'll even help you hunt them down." She answered with a smirk before she turned Shay around in her arms so she could plant a kiss on her lips.
Shay moaned into Troian's mouth after a few minutes of kissing, before she slightly pulled back.
"We can continue this later, but I don't want to overcook our food."
"What did you make?"
"I made spaghetti and garlic bread. I wanted to do something nice for you, but I'm not really a pro in the kitchen."
"That's really sweet. Thank you." Troian replied sincerely as she looked into her girlfriend's beautiful eyes.
"It's my pleasure. I was thinking we could eat and then cuddle up and watch a movie."
"You just read my mind."
"Well good."
"Oh, and I think we have the same schedule next week, so we should be able to see more of each other."
"Good, because this week was hell. I hated it."
"Ditto."
Later that night, the girls had finished their dinner at sat down just in time to see 'Pitch Perfect' come on the TV. They were chatting during a commercial when Troian's phone started ringing.
"Hey little bro, what's up?" She answered from her spot cuddling with Shay, since she didn't want to move.
"Hey, I just talked to dad and he wanted me to call you. Next Saturday is a family dinner, Shay is invited as well of course."
"Alright, thanks for passing on the message. I'll see what she's up to and let dad know. What time?"
"He's thinking 6 right now. Well, I'll let you go since I can only imagine what I'm interrupting."
"A movie, you smartass." She informed him before he laughed, said 'bye' and then hung up.
"How's Nick doing?" Shay asked as she looked up at Troian.
"He's good. We have a family dinner next Saturday that you have been cordially invited to."
"Wow, really?"
"Of course. You would have been invited to one earlier, we just haven't had one in a while because dad was off traveling for a few new shows."
"A Bellisario family dinner that I've been invited to. I don't even know what to say."
"Say you'll go. I'd love it if you met my crazy family." Troian said with a small smile, trying not to pressure her girlfriend into going.
"Of course I'll go. If they're anything like you, I'm sure I'll love them."
"And you already know Nick, so you'll know someone other than me."
"I'll mark off Saturday in my calendar." She added as she leaned a little closer to kiss her girlfriend's cheek.
Troian was about to say something else, but was interrupted when the movie started playing again. She turned to watch the movie, but had the biggest smile on her face when Shay glanced over to look at her.
Less than halfway through the movie, Troian had fallen asleep with her head in Shay's lap. The tanned girl smiled once she realized that her girlfriend had finally fallen asleep after a long workday. She began to run her hands through her girlfriend's hair soothingly as she continued to watch the rest of the movie.
Once the movie ended, Shay leaned down and kissed Troian's forehead as she rubbed her back.
"Come on, T. It's time for bed." She giggled quietly when Troian shook her head no before grabbing ahold of one of Shay's thighs.
"Nooo." She huskily whispered as Shay smiled.
"Yesss, now come on. Let's get you into a comfy bed."
Shay finally managed to get a half asleep Troian into bed before she went off to the bathroom and finished getting ready for bed.
Once she crawled back into her girlfriend's bed, Troian unconsciously scooted towards her until Shay had her arms wrapped around Troian's waist and they both fell asleep comfortably for the first time all week.
