(we're best friends and we take each others virginity's AU) [M RATING]
They were sitting in Piper's bedroom the day they got the idea. It was a Thursday, the one blissful day when all the Chapman's schedules lined up in such a way that Piper had the house to herself until six, when Cal would finally troop in from after school tutoring.
Thursdays were Alex's favorite day.
She was laying haphazardly across Piper's bed, where she'd flung herself immediately upon entering the room. The blonde sat at the desk across the room with her back turned to her. It was routine. Piper would immediately begin her homework (I can't really feel relaxed until it's no longer looming over my head, Al), Alex would put hers off until the last possible minute (I can't start it until I've had the chance to really unwind, Pipes), and the night would pass in slow quiet bliss.
Piper apparently had different plans tonight.
"Larry thinks we should go all the way." Her voice suddenly breaks their comfortable silence and Alex tears her gaze from the paint strokes of Piper's ceiling to the Blonde's turned back.
"What?"
Her shoulders shrug with a nonchalance that only Alex could tell was practiced. She allows herself to slowly sink back against the pillows at the younger girl's silence, her mind turning this new piece of information over. "Well… are you?"
"I dunno." She murmurs, still unconvincingly detached, "Polly says she hasn't done it yet, but she thinks Pete's the one."
"What does that mean? The one?"
"I dunno. Someone… special." She scowls at the paper in front of her at the brunette's mocking scoff. "What?"
"Nothing. It's just weird that you think Barry's 'The One'. I mean you've only gone on what, two dates?"
"We've gone on more than two dates, Alex, and Larry seems… nice." She falters, her falsely casual tone becoming less and less convincing as the conversation wears on. "I mean… he seems like he'd be… gentle. Caring."
"So you're going to sleep with him because he's nice. Jeez, Piper, those are some impressive standards you've got."
"I didn't say I was going to! I said maybe, as far as first times go, he wouldn't be the worst!" She didn't know when they'd gone from having a casual conversation to a budding argument. Alex didn't give her time to dwell on it.
"Whatever. Do whatever you want, Piper, I just think there are better choices than Barry the Boy Wonder."
"Well I know Larry well enough to know he'd at least be considerate and attentive. Which is more than I can say for most of the other guys at school." Her tone softened as she returned to writing her temporarily neglected paper. "I just want it to be… nice. Y'know? I don't want it to be an uncomfortable mistake that turns me off the whole idea, just… special."
"It's just sex. There's nothing 'special' about it. You have it and that's that."
"Well, have you done it?" She turned towards Alex, who found herself fumbling uncharacteristically for an answer before she had the chance to properly examine the new, strangely defensive tone that had seeped into the Blonde's words.
"I mean… no… I've fooled around and stuff, but never…" Green irises danced around the room before returning to Piper's blue ones. She narrowed them at the brunette's uncharacteristic hesitance.
She'd be lying if she said she wasn't slightly taken aback at Alex's admission. She thought for sure the brunette had gone the distance at this point, more than once, even, judging by the rumors that were slowly starting to creep up about her around the school. Whispers of Alex Vause's supposed conquests were a large part of the reason why Larry's timid proposal had stuck so insistently with her. Something about the thought of Alex growing up without her had struck a muted sort of panic within Piper. She'd always felt the pulling need to almost sort of keep up with the older girl. Not sure if it was due to the year and a half Alex had on her age-wise, or the fact that the brunette always seemed to be leagues ahead of the rest of their peers as far as worldly presence went, Piper tried never to dwell on the churning fear that stirred heavily in her stomach.
"Oh." She murmured softly, eyes dropping to slide across her carpet before returning to the brunette propped upon her elbows atop her bed. She turned back to her desk, shutting the once again forgotten notebook in front of her. Alex sighed heavily from the bed behind her.
Rising from her chair, Piper padded the short distance across the room to the bed, slowly lowering herself down across from the brunette. They lay on their sides, studying each other.
"Maybe I'll wait to take the next step with Larry then." Piper finally murmured, gaze flitting gently around Alex's face. "You're right. It should be with someone I want to do it with. Someone I trust. Not just someone who's nice."
"Someone you trust, huh?" Alex murmured with a slight chuckle, "Good luck with that."
"What?" Piper asked, a indignant sort of teasing to her voice.
"Nothing, it's just…" Alex's expression grew serious as the she regarded the blonde before her, "you might end up waiting a long time if you're gonna wait for that."
"Hey!" Piper shoved her shoulder lightly as Alex's face broke into that self satisfied grin she presented whenever amused by her own humor. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"You are like the most untrusting person I know, Piper! You barely trust anyone!"
They grinned at each other through their fading giggles, eyes locking in quiet amusement. A slow seriousness stole across Piper's face as she studied the brunette's dying grin. Alex remained silent, allowing whatever thought currently rolling through the blonde's mind to work it's way through her.
"I trust you." She finally murmured softly.
The last lingering edges of amusement faded from her face as Alex grew still, studying the blonde before her.
"Pipes…"
Suddenly uncomfortable, Piper made to sit up, hastily murmuring out an stuttered, jumbled apology. She didn't get very far, however, before she felt Alex's hand close around her arm, gently pulling her back to the bed before she could beat her hasty retreat.
"Hey," Her voice is soft as the blonde sinks back into the mattress, refusing to meet her eye, "Pipes."
Blue eyes refuse to move from their inspection of the bed sheets. Alex slowly lets her fingers slide from their grip around the blonde's arm to skate gently across her cheek. Tucking a stray strand of blonde hair behind her ear she waits for the sapphire gaze to climb back up to hers.
"Pipes, trust me, I…" She falters, slowly trying to grasp the words she wants to use, "there's nothing I would love more…"
"But?" And Piper's voice is so soft when she speaks, so small and quiet and broken that it's all Alex can do to not take her right then and there.
She studies the younger girl as the silence stretches between them, really studies her. It's not like she'd never entertained the idea of her and Piper. Late nights in bed, just before the creeping haze of dawn begins to crawl across the dark sky, her thoughts would sometimes wander to the blonde. And maybe that's why she falters.
Piper's blue eyes shine softly up at hers. Bright blue. Impossibly bright. She'd never been able to resist when the younger girl turned that shining gaze on her. Alex Vause prided herself on being a woman of few weakness, but Piper Chapman had always been one of them. And when those impossibly bright eyes gazed up at her her with such emotion Alex Vause was powerless to resist giving her the world.
"I just…" Her eyes flicked between Piper's helplessly, "are you sure?"
And now it was Piper's turn to pause in the gathering silence. Losing herself in the depths of Alex's green irises before her. She'd known Alex her entire life, there were no memories that did not in some way involve Alex. There was no one in the world she trusted more than Alex. There was no one in the world she wanted more than Alex.
It had always been Alex. Piper had spent the majority of her life chasing Alex. Desperately trying to keep pace with the older girl, desperately trying to hold on. She knew she'd never be enough for Alex. And that's why she falters. The sudden vulnerability in the older girl's eyes is all the encouragement Piper needs to know she's enough.
"Yes." She whispers, Alex's fingers skate lightly (so lightly, infuriatingly lightly) across her cheek, "I want it to be you. I want it to do this together."
And it's all the further convincing Alex needs.
They study each other for one final moment, as if memorizing everything they'll no longer be once they take this step. When their lips meet softly it's better than anything Alex had imagined in the soft cover of darkness. As their mouths dance against one another it's more than Piper ever wished for in the consuming haze of self doubt. One of them moans softly. Hands reach to cup each other's cheeks, slide across each other's jaws, caress each other's faces. Alex shifts her weight, leaning over the blonde before her. Her thigh falls between Piper's and she arches at the contact.
Their mouths break apart and their foreheads knock together gently as they gasp for air against each other's open mouths. Alex's hand makes it's way down Piper's body, fingertips skimming softly across her stomach, inching further and further under the hem of her t-shirt as her mouth moves to caress it's way down her neck. Piper gasps softly when Alex's fingers prod at the underside of her bra, arching gently into the explorative touch.
She pauses a moment, resting her forehead against Piper's cheekbone, her teeth light scraping against the younger girl's jaw as she draws her breath, before pushing her fingers under the soft material to rest gently across the swell of Piper's breast. Her thumb sways back and forth, slowly coaxing the nipple to attention, before gently squeezing at it.
The noises Piper makes are soft and needy and Alex has heard other girls make them before but never have they sounded quite so enticing as whenPiper makes them. She keeps their foreheads close as she watches the emotions dance across the blonde's face. Her light blue eyes had fallen closed as she temporarily lost herself in the new sensation of Alex's hands on her chest.
She teases a bit longer before pressing a quick kiss to her parted lips and pulling the shirt and bra up over her head, leaving Piper excitingly bare to her in a way she'd never been before. Her eyes had come open during the undressing and the clouded look of want and need (and something else Alex couldn't quite put her finger on just yet) that she fixed on Alex was enough to make her falter for a moment.
Alex pulled gently at her nipple, twisting it softly between her fingers as she locked eyes with the blonde. "Is this good?"
"Yes." Piper breathed out, voice barely a whisper. "Yes."
She slid a hand up her chest and over Alex's forearm, fingers locking gently at the bend of her elbow, squeezing lightly in anticipation as Alex leaned down once more to capture her lips in a heated kiss. Piper's hand slid up Alex's bicep, over her shoulder, down her sides to her hips, where her fingers tangled gently in the hem of her shirt.
"Now you." She murmured, tugging gently at the shirt. "Together."
Alex ducked her head and they swiftly pulled the shirt off her, Piper's fingers immediately moving to tug at the straps of her bra as the brunette's reached around behind her to unhook it. It fell away quickly and Piper wasted no time tossing it off the edge of the bed before returning her hands to the newly revealed skin before her. Alex sat up slightly, leaning back on her heels as Piper's hands pushed their way up her stomach to clasp her breasts. She felt her heartbeat quicken as the younger girl's palms brushed lightly against her nipples, hands squeezing the soft flesh of her chest gently. She couldn't stop the breathless moan that escaped her lips in the slightest huff as the blonde's hands continued to learn her.
Their hips ground together as Alex arched her back and Piper gasped again at the new sensation. Taking advantage of the blonde's temporary distraction, Alex leaned forward to draw one of her taut nipples into her mouth, sucking gently, as her thumb and forefinger returned to tug at the other. Piper's hands slid around her sides and down her back as Alex leaned over her once more, coming to rest at the waistline of her jeans, fingers lightly dipping below the hem every time Alex flexed her back in the right way, just barely grazing the top of her ass.
Pulling her mouth from Piper's chest, Alex began to move her way up over her collar bones, across her neck, and under her jaw before pausing to suck gently at the skin below her ear. Their chests brushed against each other and the both released gentle sighs at the tender sensation. One of Piper's hands moved to tangle in the hair at the back of Alex's head, pulling her mouth harder against her neck. Alex complied with her silent request, mouth moving rougher against her pulsing skin, teeth grazing lightly at the slowly blooming bruise.
"More." Piper whispered, breathless, fingers sliding deeper into Alex's jeans. She pulled herself from the younger girl's neck, hands trailing slowly down her legs to rest atop her thighs as she leaned back once more. Piper's hands slid around her waist, gripping lightly at the front of her dark jeans, just above her pockets. They studied each other for a moment, as if silently confirming the next step.
Alex studied the girl before her. Golden hair fanned out around her on the pillows, a messy sort of halo, sapphire eyes shining up at her, an endless well of trust (it's enough to take Alex's breath away). Her eyes trace over the body underneath her, The slowly darkening bruise she's left just under Piper's right ear, Piper's slightly heaving chest, her delicate pink nipples straining for attention, as if reaching out for Alex. Her gaze trailed down Piper's stomach, to where her own hand rested just below her naval, thumb tenderly brushing the hem of the younger girl's jeans.
"Al." She pressed gently at the older girl's hesitation. Her gaze returned to that of the blonde at her soft prompting.
Piper's hand rose to trace across Alex's jaw and her eyes fell closed against the tender caress. Her fingers came to rest under her chin and Alex allowed them be her anchor as she leaned into the younger girl's lips once more. They kissed slowly as Alex's hands moved to unbutton Piper's jeans, breaking apart only to rest their foreheads against one another as Alex slid the zipper down and began to tug them from Piper's hips.
They held each other's gaze as they slid the garment the rest of the way down Piper's body, Alex tossing them carelessly over the end of the bed behind her. Her gaze raked over Piper's waiting body once more and she leaned to place a kiss at the bend of her knee, resting her cheek against it gently as she met the blonde's eyes once more. Her hand trailed lazily up and down Piper's thigh as they watched each other, before placing another kiss against her knee and stretching herself along the younger girl's body, hips snug between Piper's thighs.
Piper's hands reached for the button of Alex's jeans and their noses brushed gently as they worked to slide them down and off Alex's legs. Alex's mouth sought Piper's once more as she kicked her jeans to the floor to land in a heap atop Piper's. Their hips pushed rhythmically against each other as the kiss deepened. Alex's fingers danced lightly around the hem of Piper's underwear, slipping below in the barest of touches every time Piper's hips pulsed in just the right way.
"Alex." She breathed out around their fumbling lips and clashing teeth. "I want you. I want all of you."
"You've got me, kid. You've got me."
Piper's hips rose once more, pausing above the mattress. Alex took advantage of their stilled suspension, pulling the last barrier of clothing from Piper's heated body, before quickly ridding herself of her own. They lay still for a moment, allowing themselves to become familiar with the new sensation of uninhibited skin on skin, the feeling of experiencing each other completely in a way no other person yet had.
A soft sigh slipped through Alex's lips as she connected their mouths once more. Her hands roamed Piper's body, skating gently down her sides, over her thighs, under her knees as she pulled the girl impossibly closer. Piper's palms ran over her ribs, pausing under her shoulders, lightly brushing the swell of her breasts. Alex's fingers slowly trailed back down Piper's thighs, stilling just before her hips. Her thumbs traced gentle patterns closer and closer to the cusp of Piper's thighs, and Piper gasped faintly, breaking apart from her mouth, as she made soft contact with the sensitive area between her legs.
She watched the girl below her carefully as her touches grew firmer, insistent. Piper's eyes had fallen closed at the new and unfamiliar contact. Her fingers prodded gently at Piper's soft wet opening, coaxing her eyes open once more as they locked gazes silent conversation.
"Are you ready?" She whispered softly, her fingers sliding gently up and down between Piper's legs, slowly coating themselves in the warm wetness of her cunt as they waited.
"Yes." Piper breathed out, barely audible, nodding in case Alex missed it. "Go slow."
"I will." Alex murmured, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead before pulling back to lock eyes once more.
She continued to trace the outline of Piper's sex as the blonde fought to control her breathing underneath her. Her thumb came to circle her clit before brushing against it in the barest of touches, causing Piper's hips to jerk violently off the bed.
"Al-" She gasped breathlessly, her arms winding tightly around Alex's shoulders in a desperate attempt to anchor the older girl to her.
Alex placed a soft kiss on her neck.
"Talk to me, kid." She murmured, a single finger just barely pushing into the opening between her legs. Slowly, so slowly, sliding deeper into her channel.
"Nnnmn." Piper groaned against Alex's collar bone. "Ah! It feels- Alex!" Her fingertips dug into Alex's shoulder blades as her hands flexed against the new feeling of having someone else in her body.
"Good?" Alex murmured, stilling her hand's progress as she awaited the blonde's confirmation to continue.
"Yes." Piper all but hissed. Alex found herself grinning into the girl's neck as she eased herself further into her warm inviting body.
"Fuck, Pipes." She rasped with a pant as her knuckle pushed to a stop against Piper's opening. She stilled again, allowing the blonde to become comfortable with her intrusion to her body. "You feel so..."
"Yeah."
They lay in silence for a moment, adjusting to each other's overwhelming presence. Alex dropping gentle kisses across Piper's heated shoulder and neck, Piper's fingers squeezing out a gentle rhythm against Alex's shoulders. Alex breathed deeply, her free hand caressing Piper's hip before trailing up her ribs. Her thumb stroked lightly at the underside of her breast and Piper sighed softly, flexing her hips gently. "Okay."
"Okay?" Alex confirmed, slowly flexing the hand currently caressing Piper's soft wet cunt.
Piper's hips pushed back against her hand with a slight more insistence. She began to pull her hand free from Piper's warm core before sliding it in again, her thumb brushing against Piper's pulsing clit as she established a slow, easy rhythm. She kissed a trail from Piper's neck, across her collar bones, down her chest to one of her protruding nipples. She placed a gentle kiss on it before drawing it into her mouth and sucking gently.
"Al..." Piper sighed, her arms finally sliding from the older girl's shoulders. Her fingertips skirted down Alex's back, circling gently at the base of her spine as her other hand trailed between them and down Alex's stomach. Alex's body jolted abruptly as Piper's fingers clumsily bumped against her clit. Her teeth scraped lightly at Piper's nipple in her surprise and Piper's hips jerked in need as she arched against the sudden sensation.
"Pipes." She breathed out, against the blonde's chest as Piper's fingers began to rub more insistently at the area between her legs.
"It's okay." Piper whispered against her temple as she slowly opened Alex up under her touch. Her fingers paused when they reached Alex's pooling entrance, tracing the outline of her opening with hesitance. Alex sensed her uncertainty through what was left of her slowly clouding mind.
"It's just like you'd do yourself." She murmured. "Just touch me like you'd want to be touched."
Piper's fingers hesitated only for a moment longer before she gently began to push herself into Alex's waiting warmth. Alex buried her face against Piper with a grunt, biting gently at her collar bone as the blonde filled her.
"Okay?" She murmured after a few seconds, her free hand raising to thread through Alex's hair. "Al?"
Alex nodded mutely against Piper's slick neck, before raising her head to capture her lips in a forceful kiss.
They began moving all at once. Matching each other's paces, meeting each other's thrusts, free hands traveling over every expanse of skin they could reach. Piper whimpered softly into Alex's sweaty skin as she eased another finger into her. Alex gasped breathlessly when Piper mimicked the action. They kissed each other gently, forcefully, rhythmically as the moved against each other. It didn't take long for the tug of that heavy-laden edge to reach them. She'd tried to draw it out as long as possible, keep Piper flirting with the brink of pleasure as long as she could, but as the blonde beneath her erupted with a hoarse exclamation Alex found herself quickly tumbling over that ledge after her. Their walls pulsed erratically against their fingers as Alex continued to stroke Piper down from her high, her own hips still flexing gently against the hand Piper still had buried within her, before they gradually stilled against each other.
Piper's hand slid gingerly from her wet heat and Alex slowly pulled her own hand from between the blonde's legs, a heavy sigh breaking through her lips as she tried to regain her breath. Piper buried her face in her neck, and she brought her free hand up to tangle in the blonde hair, holding her softly against her. Piper's arms snaked around her shoulders once more in a loose hug. She rubbed her nose into the older girl's neck before dropping a soft kiss against it and pulling away.
"Alex."
She met her sapphire gaze with a tender smile, pressing her forehead against Piper's once more and dropping a slow lingering kiss to her lips.
"Yeah."
They lost track of time as they lay quietly in the dying light of the afternoon sun across Piper's bedroom, softly tracing patterns across each other's cooling skin.
"I don't think it would have been that good with Larry." Piper eventually mused, causing Alex to look up from where she lay resting on her chest. Her chin came to rest against the younger girl's sternum with a muted grin. "But I definitely think we'll need to... practice. Some more."
A husky chuckle broke through Alex's grin as she watched the blonde's gaze dart across the room in practiced nonchalance once again before coming to meet Alex's amused one. "Is that so?" She murmured, fighting the insistent grin tugging at her lips.
"I mean it was good..." Piper trailed off playfully, the barest hint of timidness dancing in her tone. "but I definitely think we could do better."
Giving up in her hopeless fight against the growing grin alighting her features, Alex leaned in towards Piper's face with another husky chuckle. "You're right." She murmured throatily against the blonde's eager lips. "We definitely could stand to practice a little more."
Their lips met in giddy bliss as they grinned against each other's mouths, kisses breaking as the occasional laugh slipped through.
