“me too,” cass agrees, her nose brushing gently to bennett’s before she pulls her down against her.

“no,” there’s a laugh of assurance, nose brushing hers. “no one just really ever says that stuff to me.”

“yes,” cass laughs softly, kisses pressing to her face, anywhere she could reach. “i love you too.”

arms settle around her more loosely and cass leans back against her pillows, breath catching a little at the words, “you do?”

it’s easy like this, when it feels like they have nothing to worry about, so she leans into bennett a little, arm wrapping tighter around her. “just like you close.”

hum is swallowed by a gasp and cass tilts her head for more room. “like there better.”

and something cass never does? she giggles, her nose scrunching up. “that tickles.”

quiet sigh escapes when their lips meet and and cass wraps arm around her waist, her mouth sliding against bennett’s own.

i can do that. c’mere.

sure, pretty girl. whatever you want.

yeah, that sounds good. and i’ve got a lot stashed from pageants.

yeah? we won’t have to hide that way. if i have somewhere safe to be, i can be out.

yeah, well — you’ll be okay, too.

📲; little sister. — whomp whomp

📲; little sister. — she’ll have to work, ig.
