LV: Stupid Fucking Rules
Liam and Blake
Liam
Liam grinned as he watched Blake play videogames with his roommates. He was sitting out this round, as he'd gotten the lowest score last time. Blake had given him as much shit for that as his roommates had, which oddly, he liked. He also liked that she seemed to feel comfortable here, with him and his roommates. He hadn't missed the way that she'd pulled off her beanie, letting her hair fall free, the moment Liam had closed the door behind them. Looking Blake up and down, Liam leaned back in his chair--Blake was standing at the moment, knees bent, ass out. He wasn't sure if that was on purpose or not. He wouldn't put it past Blake, but she seemed pretty focused on the game.
We're really together now.
That still didn't entirely seem real. Liam hadn't even kissed Blake yet, but every time she looked at him...
Liam shivered, remembering even the look she'd given him when he handed her the controller. He knew she wanted him. He couldn't remember being so confident in that with any other girl. They hadn't given each other any labels yet, but...
You're mine.
Liam shook his head. She expected
him
to be the one with self-control after telling him that?
He was a little disappointed at Blake's request for a date before they had sex, but he would happily undertake it. He'd gone out on dates with Marie, but they'd already been hooking up for a while, and most of their dates before the summer had just been to the movies or grabbing a bite to eat.
Liam couldn't remember Blake ever mentioning a previous boyfriend, so he imagined she hadn't had a date like she'd asked him for either.
Thankfully, he'd found just the thing to fit Blake's requirements for a date. He knew she would like the restaurant, but he was a little nervous about what he had planned after that. It was definitely more his kind of thing, but he hoped it was something he could share with her.
"Ha!" Blake cheered, jumping as she pumped a fist in the air. Liam shook himself back to reality, hiding a smile as Blake glanced over at his roommates, hands on hips, "I thought you guys said you were supposed to be good."
"This is bullshit," Eli said, "Liam, your girl hustled us."
Liam snorted, "You're just saying that because you lost."
"Maybe," Eli said, "But I'm pretty sure we deserve a rematch. Right, Swar?"
Swar nodded, "Yep, now that we know what we're up against, we need a chance to prove ourselves."
Blake raised an eyebrow, looking between the two, "So you guys were just going easy on me?"
Liam laughed as Swar went red in the face, sure that Eli looked the same.
"We weren't going
super
easy on you," Swar said, "Just as easy as we go on Liam."
"Yeah," Eli chimed in, "Liam kind of sucks, so can you really blame us for thinking you'd be much better?"
Blake grinned, glancing over at Liam. He would be the one to switch with Eli if they didn't do a rematch.
Liam just rolled his eyes, pushing himself up from the chair, "Just play your rematch. I'm gonna take a shower. You guys mind if Blake stays over, by the way?"
"Dude," Swar said, "If you're gonna sexile us, you should at least give us a bit more warning."
"Nope," Blake said, shaking her head, "There will be no sexiling, as there will be no sex. I came over here instead of bringing Liam back to my place specifically so that there would be no funny business."
"And because Marie is at your place," Liam pointed out.
"Also, yes," Blake said without missing a beat.
"Shit," Eli said, "Liam, what did you do?"
"I told him he's gotta take me out on a date first," Blake said, grinning at Liam, "One where he has to wear a button-up shirt, maybe even a jacket."
Liam stiffened, swallowing the lump that had formed in his throat as Blake eyed him up and down. He swore he could
feel
her imagining him in that clothing, then imagining tearing it off.
"Damn, Liam," Swar said, "It hasn't even been a week yet, and you're already whipped?"
"Now c'mon, man," Eli said, "Let's be fair. They've basically been dating for like two months now. He's been whipped pretty much that entire time."
Liam just rolled his eyes, "Blake, please make sure to tea-bag them after you kill them. I'm going to go take a shower."
"Will do," Blake cackled, putting them in the queue for the next round, "No jerking off in the shower, though--I want some hot water, too."
Liam turned, mostly to hide the redness in his cheeks--he really did need to get better about that--then went wide-eyed as he felt a hand smack his ass.
He whirled around to find Blake pointing at Swar, eyes focused on the TV screen.
"He did it," she said, though she couldn't keep back the amusement in her voice.
With a sigh, Liam turned back toward the bathroom, grabbing his PJ pants as he strode toward the door, "The fuck did I get myself into?"
He'd intentionally said that loud enough for Blake to hear, and grinned when she yelled, "Hey!"
Liam closed the door quickly behind him.
Blake
Blake sighed as she wrapped the fluffy towel around her. Liam had ever-so-sweetly offered her one of his spare towels since his was still damp, and she'd made a mental note to thank him for it later.
