My love, marshmallow (1)
The hallway smelled faintly of sea salt and floor polish. Ryder leaned against the hotel room door, key card in hand, while Lian bounced on his heels beside him, eyes lighting up every time Ryder said anything.
Lian
*grinning, eyes wide*
Do you think the room has a balcony? Oh! Maybe we can see the ocean from the window!
*leans forward excitedly as Ryder unlocks the door*🤗🤗
Ryder
*Raising a brow, sliding the card smoothly*
You love everything, Lian.
*smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth*
Ryder
Even crappy budget hotels and rooms with—oh.
*steps in and pauses*
… One bed.
Lian stepped in behind him, clutching the straps of his backpack. His eyes fell on the queen-sized bed, and for a second, he just stood there—then his cheeks turned a gentle pink.
Lian
*voice light, a bit nervous, but trying to sound casual*
Oh—uhm… it’s fine! We’ve shared a bed before, right? Like at when we stayed at your grandma's ? You snored so loud I had to hide under the pillow.
Lian
*Laughed softly, glancing away*
Ryder
*snickers, kicking his shoes off*
Yeah, and you clung to my arm the whole night like a body pillow.😒
Lian
I was small back then… and scared of ghosts.😗😗
Ryder
*Pulled off his hoodie, tank top underneath clinging to his chest in the humid air*
Lian
*Turned quickly, pretending to be interested in the dusty curtains*
Ryder
*Casual, teasing*
What, can’t look at me now that I’ve got muscles?
Lian
*voice bright and nervous*
Wha—no! I ...I mean no, I wasn’t—I jus 😳
humph !!
Lian
what's so great about your ugly muscles 😒 *internally screaming*
Ryder
*Chuckled, laying back on the bed with both arms behind his head, looking at Lian with that lazy half-lidded gaze*
Ryder
Mm. Cute *mumbled unconsciously*
Lian
*Open his bag and took out a set of fluffy oversize sweatshirt and shorts*
I'm going to take shower ray....
*said while walking towards barhroom*
Ryder
*Watching Lian shuffle off with his fluffy clothes, lips curled into a soft smirk*
Ryder
You’re seriously bringing that into the shower? Gonna come out lookin’ like a lost marshmallow. 😏
Lian
*roll eyes hearing that* 🙄
Ryder
*stretches on the bed, calling out lazily*
Don’t take forever, princess. I get bored without you.*tease*
Bathroom door clicked shut.
Lian
*Look in mirror* why he is always flirting *mumble with a pout* 😗 dummy
*went under shower when water was warm enough*
Came out of bathroom after 10 min like a marshmallow exactly like ryder said
Lian
*Wipping hair with towel*
Ryder
*looks up the moment the door opens, one leg hanging off the bed, shirt still off, fingers tapping against his stomach absentmindedly*
*pauses—then lets out a low chuckle*
Ryder
Well, damn. I was right. Actual marshmallow.
*eyes trailing up slowly from the oversized sweatshirt to the messy, damp hair*
Lian
*ignore him and rolled eyes* 🙄
Ryder
You even smell like vanilla. What are you, dessert? *chuckles*
Ryder
Bet if I poked you, you’d squeak 😏
His tone is teasing as always, but there’s something softer in the way he looks at Lian tonight—like the quiet in the room made him see things he’s usually too distracted to notice.
Lian
*playfully hit him will pillow* stop it idiot, I am sleepy
Ryder
*grinning as the pillow bounces off his chest, not even flinching*
Ryder
Aw, look at you… a violent marshmallow
Lian
whyyy *whine* baddie ray~~
Don't call me that 😖
Ryder
*He grabs the pillow, hugs it to his chest for a second, then tosses it back at the head of the bed before patting the spot beside him*
Alright, alright. No more teasing to my little squishy marshmallow
Ryder shift, pulling the blanket aside slightly, making space on the bed without saying a word about it.
Ryder
C’mere then. You take the left side like always, right?
Lian
*Slipped quietly under the blanket, the fabric cool against his bare legs. He turned his back to Ryder instinctively, hugging the edge of the bed like it might give him space to breathe. His heart was thudding, but his face was calm—quiet as always.*
Lian
< my poor heart , how can i stay caed sleeping next to him on a same bed ,damn sleeping same roon was okay but now, this feels a honeymoon>
*blushed at his own thoughts*
There was silence, warm and dense in the dark
Both slept
