mil sat in bed, mindlessly scrolling through instagram on her phone. school was over, she had no homework, and her roomate jax was out with his friend skylar for the night, so there was virtually nothing to do.

and then skye texted her.

skye: you up?

mil: yeah...i can't sleep.

skye: is something bothering you?

mil: somewhat...i just feel kinda lonely.

skye: i'll be over in ten.

mil smiled and hugged her phone to her chest. mil and skye had been a couple for a few months, but hadn't told their friends because they knew that they'd make a huge deal over it. although it was hard to not act like a couple in public, they still made it work because they really loved each other.

about fifteen minutes later, mil heard a light tapping noise on her window. she pulled it open to see skye standing on the street below, tossing a small rock at the window.

"there is something called texting, you know."

"i know." skye shrugged. "this just seemed more cliché."

"you goof." mil giggled. "get up here." skye stepped back a few steps and began to sprint, jumping and grabing onto the bottom rung of the fire escape ladder. she pulled herself up onto the platform and climbed the three other ladders in order to get to mil's bedroom window. she grabbed the windowsill and stepped into the bedroom, pushing her hair out of her eyes.

"i brought cookies." skye smiled, pulling a small bag out of the messenger bag slung over her shoulder.

"you are the best!" mil laughed, tossing the cookies on the bed. she flung her arms around skye's neck and pressed their lips together. skye moved her hands to mil's waist and pulled her closer. eventually, they parted and just stared into each others eyes for a while.

"hey."

"hey." skye laughed quietly.

"do you want to watch a movie? i think i've got a shirt and some shorts that might fit you if you'd like something a bit more comfortable than that." mil gestured at skye's skinny jeans and lacy top.

"that'd be great." skye planted a kiss on mil's cheek, making her blush. "thanks love."

"mil, i'm gonna go make some more popcorn. is there anything else i can get you?" skye moved over slightly so that mil could rest on the pillows stacked up on one side of the couch.

"some water would be nice." mil smiled, squeezing skye's hand. "but hurry back."

"okay." skye mockingly rolled her eyes and kissed mil's forehead, and began walking into the kitchen.

mil snuggled under the blanket and pulled her knees up into her chest, sighing in contentment.

suddenly, a jingling sound appeared on the other side of the door, and mil stood up quickly. the door opened, and in came skylar and jax.

"j-jax? skylar? w-what are you doing here?"

"well, the concert got cancelled. the lead got strep throat and can't sing." skylar tossed her purse on the coffee table. "so, we just decided to come home."

"oh."

"hey, mil?" skye asked, walking into the kitchen with two bags of microwave popcorn. "do you want the--" she paused in the doorway and locked eyes with skylar and jax. "what are you doing here?"

"better question," jax smirked, pointing at skye. she was wearing nothing but one of mil's flannel shirts and shorts. "what are you doing here?"

"it's not what it looks like." skye shot back, pulling the flannel down over her almost completely bare legs. however, because the shirt was shorter, it only went down to about mid-thigh.

"it seems to me that it's exactly what it looks like." skylar raised and eyebrow.

"look...skylar is kind of right, and skye is kind of right." mil stood up from the couch. she took in a deep breath and turned to jax and skylar. "w-we've been dating for a while."

"how long?"

"a few months."

"MONTHS?" skylar screeched. "AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US?"

"oops?" skye shrugged.

"i guess it's out in the open, then." mil sighed.

"meaning," skye smirked, "i can do this." she walked closer to mil, a sparkle in her eye. she cupped mil's face in her hands and softly pressed her lips into mil's, emitting a clap and a few screams from skylar and jax.

"wow. i've wanted you to do that for a long time." mil sighed.

"me too, love." skye hugged mil tightly. "me too."
