i did my best boss o7 again almost not following the prompt
no beta we just die
“You know you can tell me anything la Mia preda?”
Donna sat next to you on the long and upscale couch. She sat close but out of arm's reach. Her body language attentively leaned in but open.
You looked deeply into her eyes, sparkling a beautiful brown in the dim artificial lighting of her house. You would love to have gotten lost in them but it would've been rude to ignore her.
“Yeah.” you trailed off into thought despite being aware the answer was not quite good enough.
You always got a sense of danger coming from Donna after she clearly caught wind of your affections. Although you'd thought that you were mostly past the point of being just a lay because well it's been a couple of weeks of hanging out with Donna and there had been none of the aforementioned “laying”. In fact this was the first time you were in Donna's house where you didn’t feel you were in ‘danger’ of being a one night stand. Even if in past times you only made it as far as the door.
Despite the big step you were much more comfortable that you were not just going to be eaten up.
You had the sense in the past people only came in to never come back, whatever reason that was.
You were not letting yourself be one of those people.
You made sure to try to get to know the real Donna and not just her professor, but damn if she didn't keep you at arm's length.
“Something wrong? You put the smile back on your face.
“No, I'm fine just thinking about you.”
This caused a wry smile to crawl onto Donna's lips.
Ah. there was that sense of danger again.
“You know i don't wanna just sleep with you right?” you couldn't help but blurt out in the moment. While maybe not true to the initial impression you truly meant it. Feeling slight guilt for the initial lusting.
Donna's face shifted into an expression of slight melancholy and culpability.
“What if i told you that's what i wanted from you instead.:
“I wouldn't believe you.”
Despite all Donna tried there was a loneliness about her, big and apparent as an Olympic size swimming pool.
It wasn't immediately fathomable to the average person why she would be. She was quite the popular person on an opinion-al level and mostly kept to herself otherwise.
But to you it seems it was clear as day every one that comes leaves the way they came.
Donna was silent. She could say the opposite but a silent understanding was that it'd be a lie.
“And if you knew the real me, if I actually did want more, would you leave?”
“Never.” you didn't hesitate to answer back.
“ the most amazing part is that i somehow believe you [y/n]”
“Then let me make you more than believe.” you reached a warm hand towards hers. Gently lacing your warm fingers with her icy ones.
She stared at the contact with a shy smile. You've never seen you look so bare.
_________
It's been a couple weeks since you've gotten Donna to open up. You've learned many things about her. A couple of things being:
Donna's is actually shy and embarrassed often enough to see her face flush a bit. Especially when she receives compliments from you nowadays. It seems she really believes you now, and doesn't keep you at arms length.
The few times you had seen Donna eat it had been medium rare meat. You'd offered to cook for her but she insisted that you don't since she was a picky meatatarian. Which you'd tried to scold her about but she assured you that she was as healthy as could be.
She loves cats and she has one of them of her own named Angie: A ragdoll with unique markings.
She's slightly allergic to the sun, and that's why she mostly lives at night.
And while naturally shy she'd learned to be confident in her ‘many’ years alive. (although she barely look 30)
You've noticed that her ears twitch excitedly when she sees you for the first time that day.
And finally noticed that when open she truly loves people and things deeply.
______
You went to knock on Donna's door for the third time this week, and like all the others Donna seemed to have noticed you coming because before you had time to knock she had already opened the door.
Donna seemed genuinely happy whenever you came over and you could say the same.
“Mi-” she coughed loudly
“[y/n]- would you like some wine this very late evening?”
“No thank you, I know you don't personally drink.”
Hearing this Donna couldn't help but pull you close to her.
“That's true, I prefer to get drunk on your presenza.”
Wrapping her arms around your waist; Donna smiled at you dreamily.swaying gently while humming, savoring the moment between the two of you. Leaning into the moment you rest your head on her chest.
Making note of,, the lack of heartbeat…?]
Donna was truly enraptured by the moment to notice the worry going on in your head for your lover.
You slowly pulled away.
“Donna, are you feeling well?”
“Better than ever, why?”
“Your heart beats are very faint, I can't hear it.” you half lied.
“Ah, don't worry, that's not a problem.” she gave you an assuring smile.
“It's been like that for a long time.” she assured you. Holding on to your hand leading into the next area of the house. She really did seem ok so you pushed worry and that ever bleeding sense of danger away for the time being.
_____
Donna leads you around to a part of her house that you had seen but really explored before. The most noticeable feature was a slightly ornate door that clearly led to the backyard.
You had never been there but you could tell it was a special place for Donna.
Yet today, She let you in.
It was the most splendid beautiful garden the moonlight could provide.
All the flowers were heavily budding, the various smells of each mixed and perfumed the air in an enchanting way.
You felt gifted to be shared with this.
“-[y/n]” again she almost called you something else and hesitated. Donna was clearly holding back.
“I wanted you here specifically tonight because this moon the flowers will bloom, and i wanted it to share it with you [y/n]”
Just like a flower a smile blossomed across your face.
“Thank you, I know how special this place is to you.”
Donna bit her lip and wrapped her arms around your waist once again.
“Of course m-mi tesoro” she paused, not sure if you could understand what was being said “my darling..”
You beamed in the moonlight as you returned the gesture. Resting your arms on her shoulder, lacing the fingers behind Donna's neck.
Finding yourselves intimately close once again you could feel her exhale against your skin. Her hands moving down to the small of your back. Both your gazes flickering between the others eyes and somewhere lower.
“Mi tesoro, may i kiss you.” you nodded as the distance closed between the two of you. Sharing the first of many kisses. Paying no mind to the now blossoming flowers you had come here for.
