kinda been obsessed with tratie recently anyway this is a (kind of??) song fic ig??? idrk. the song is 'talking body' by tove lo.

Bed, stay in bed
The feeling of your skin locked in my head
Smoke, smoke me broke
I don't care, I'm down for what you want

Travis lives for those rare times when he has physical contact with Katie Gardner. Sometimes, when she's sleeping, he'll push a bit of hair out of her face, or caress her cheek. She doesn't know - she'll never know - but he knows and that's all that matters.

Day drunk into the night
Wanna keep you here
'Cause you dry my tears
Yeah
Summer lovin' and fights
How it is for us
And it's all because...

And he knew he didn't mean anything to Katie. They fought all the time, Katie throwing whatever was in her hands at him, and it not affecting Travis in the slightest. But her presence was calming. At the same time, it made Travis feel so... intoxicated, so high on life. He never wanted it to end.

Now if we're talking body (Hey)
You got a perfect one
So put it on me (Hey)
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We f- for life
On and on and on

Those lyrics replayed in his head. He wasn't blind. Katie had an amazing body, but she was so much more than that. She was humour, and wit, and charisma, and... well, and she had the temper of Chiron when he and Connor inconvenienced activities. But so what? Her imperfections made her more perfect. Clichè, but true.

Love, give me love
Anything you want I'll give it up
Lips, lips I kiss
Bite me while I taste your fingertips

It was almost ironic. Travis would give up anything and everything for Katie... and she would never know.

Day drunk into the night
Wanna keep you here
'Cause you dry my tears
Yeah
Summer lovin' and fights
How it is for us
And it's all because...

But why did they always have to fight? Because, he thought, she's too good for you. She's so perfect, and you're so... not.

Now if we're talking body (Hey)
You got a perfect one
So put it on me (Hey)
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We f- for life
On and on and on

Maybe, one day, Travis would get to tell her how he really felt. How perfect she really was.

Now if we're talking body (Hey)
You got a perfect one
So put it on me (Hey)
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We f- for life
On and on and on

Or maybe not.
