The Thirst Trap (Mariah May x OC)

seven

Andrew could hear a knock at the door and couldn't help but release a nervous breath. His shaky hand opened the door before his eyes landed on a smiling Mariah.

"H-Hi." She couldn't help but lightly laugh as he stumbled over his words.

"You don't need to be nervous Drew...." She said quietly.

"I can't fucking help it...." She took a step forward before he was pulled into a gentle hug that he carefully returned. "I'm sorry...."

"Don't be. It's cute." She could see his cheeks turn bright red. "Ready to chill?" He chuckled and nodded before she could see the blush slowly fade. The door shut behind them before she followed him into the main part of the room.

"I uh...." She could see his hand nervously rub the back of his neck.

"Movie or...." She looked at the tv for a moment before seeing the console set up. "I can kick your ass at the switch."

"You think so?" There was a slight smirk along her lips as she nodded.

"I know so." He chuckled lightly before grabbing out the case he had with games.

"Your choice." He said as he handed it to her a smile appearing along his lips.

"Think we need to come up with some stakes for this...." His eyebrow raised. "Let me think.... I win...." Her eyes met his. "We have a cuddle and you get some more rest...." He nodded in agreement. "Now what if you win?"

"I uh.... I need to think about it." For a moment she could've sworn his eyes flicked to her lips but she thought she was seeing things.

"Alright. But don't you go letting me win because you can't think of anything." He chuckled as his head shook.

"I won't." He said before he could see her choose Mario Kart. "'Specially not if we're playing that Chère."

"I'm just warning you if you banana me I will murder you." He chuckled as their eyes met. Without even thinking his hand came up moving a piece of hair out of her eyes and behind her ear.

"I will leave you to the computers and win fair and square." He said as he carefully pulled away.

"You think about what you want if you win?" He shrugged but she could swear she saw a smirk along his lips.

"You'll find out." She bit the inside of her lip before nodding. He put the game in the console and turned it on. Just as he handed her a controller he was pulled down next to her. A chuckle escaped his lips as he got comfortable on the edge of the bed. He let her choose everything as she carefully leaned into him. "You would choose Peach." She looked at him biting back a laugh.

"You say that as you choose Bowser." Their eyes met before he lightly laughed.

"Touché Chère." He said as a smile appeared along his lips.

"You know one of these days I'm going to need to hear you have a full on conversation with Matt before I believe you speak French." She said just as the race started. His head snapped over towards her before going back to the screen.

"Now that's cheating eh." He stated as she simply laughed. As the race went on she leaned even more into him neither minding the action. "Alright. Double or nothing."

"No, I won fair and square. You passed me three times and I still beat you." He laughed.

"Because you focused on me every time." She laughed before she leaned towards him and her lips pressed to his cheek.

"I won. Just accept it Drew." She could see him turn slightly red as she pulled away. Slowly he nodded as he gave in. "Good. Now come on.... I've been dying for a proper cuddle since earlier." His eyebrow raised slightly.

"Have you really?" He questioned quietly getting a nod from her. "I'm uh.... Sorry for falling asleep on you."

"Don't be Drew. You needed it and still need it. Now come on.... Let's get comfortable." Their eyes met before he hesitantly nodded.

"I-uh.... I'll be honest with you Chère.... I have a lot of trouble getting comfortable.... I can't promise you that...." He stopped as she gently took his hand.

"Don't worry about it.... If it takes you all night I won't mind. It is what it is." His eyes met hers for a moment.

"I just don't want to keep you up." She chuckled lightly.

"I have a feeling you won't Drew. So stop worrying would you." He slowly nodded before they both moved to get comfortable in the bed. She could see him start to adjust trying to find a comfortable position before his wrist was gently taken. Their eyes met and she gave him a look that told him to trust her. He slowly nodded before she got him to lay on his stomach his body slightly draped along hers. As his head hesitantly moved to rest along her shoulder her hand instantly found its way into his hair. "This alright?" She got a slow nod.

"As long as you're alright." She nodded before she could feel him pull the covers higher along their bodies.

"You sure you're comfortable?" He nodded. "Good because I didn't know whether or not to fully believe 'Raya." She could see his eyebrow raise slightly. "She told me that she was always more comfortable sleeping on her stomach.... Didn't know if it would be the same for you or if she was just trying to get us to cuddle." He chuckled lightly.

"She probably was but.... I really am comfortable." He said quietly before she could feel his lips just barely brush her cheek.

"So do I ever get to know what you wanted if you won?" She questioned before their eyes met.

"I...." He paused before she could see his eyes trail down to her lips once more and this time she couldn't help but lightly blush. When his eyes met hers again she could see a twinge of confidence in them. "Want to know or want me to show you?"

"Show me." There was no hesitation in his actions as his palm carefully cupped her cheek. As he leaned forward her eyes closed before their lips met. It was hesitant and she couldn't help but lean into him her hands slipping to his neck as she did holding him in place. Both enjoyed the slow and delicate kiss with neither wanted to pull away. When he reluctantly did her lips moved to press firmly against his cheek. Mariah could feel Andrew's heart racing before he quietly spoke.

"Tu seras la mort de moi, Chère."
