(Note: Happy birthday to the girl who this is about.)
You and Levi had been casual friends for several years, ever since one day five years ago when he caught you eating breakfast alone so he decided to sit near you. Despite most people believing him to be closed off and mean, he was very nice, and often you two sat in pure silence, reading together or doing homework or menial tasks that required no sweat. That was, until she came into the picture.
What would soon be your friend, Hayley, was very extravagant. Constantly talking your ear off, always wanting to text you, always wanting to get on video calls with you. Which, for an extrovert, was normal - But to the extent she was doing, it very quickly spiralled out of control and became unhealthy. You were losing hours of sleep each and every night due to her compulsion to text you, you were spending less time with your family, and most of all, less time to yourself.
When she discovered Levi, she was immediately interested in him. Over the span of only two months, the two of them had gotten into a relationship. Even though he put up a tough cover, you could see how miserable Levi was. His eyebags had grown darker and deeper, his eyes dull and colorless, and the fatigue that plagued him like he was a zombie. And yet, Hayley always talked his ears off too, seemingly wanting to occupy his every waking thought, possessing him like some kind of demon that leeched off of his energy - An energy vampire.
Now, several months later, Hayley's birthday was coming up. It was planned to be a huge extravaganza, with decorations and a massive cake and a mountain of presents. You were of course invited, and begrudgingly decided to go after picking out the perfect outfit and accessories that matched the theme of the party. When you arrived, the house was lit up with rainbow LEDs, and bass boosted-music was booming so loudly the windows of the house shook.
Upon going inside, it was a lot to take in - Lights, music, food, decorations, Hayley, Levi, and new girls you'd never seen before, whom Hayley seemed to linger around. Several hours passed and Hayley and the other girls decided to go swimming out back, leaving you and Levi alone in the house. "This is a lot, isn't it?" Levi questions softly, intending to check on you. He knew how exhausting loud, bright spaces were, and knew that you were suffering to make Hayley happy that you showed up and stayed awhile. "It's not so bad once I started disassociating." You mumble, eyes staring forward, completely zoning out to the point of blurred vision.
"Believe me, I'm right there with you." Levi responds curtly, leaning over the countertop with you, gazing out of the glass sliding doors leading to the pool. The house was massive, with three upstairs bedrooms and a second level play area connecting them, several storage rooms on the ground level, a large kitchen, and of course the pool outdoors. So much space for such a tiny family was ridiculous, at least, that's what you believed.
Hayley was still out with the girls before her father called them inside for food. In the rush to grab and fill a plate, the girls, and Hayley, pushed and shoved you out of the way, mumbling "Move over," and "Can't this fatty move?" as they piled pizza and sweets on their plates. Hayley seemingly waved it off, telling you to "just ignore them". Levi, noticing the behavior, stood next to you as he grabbed his own food. "Are you okay?" He whispers discreetly, trying not to draw more attention to you. "I'm fine." You answer, even though you were nearly in tears.
After eating dinner, opening presents, and eating cake, Hayley and the girls were seated on the floor of the TV room, scrolling through social media on their phones, completely disregarding you, talking amongst themselves in hushed tones, gossiping about what sounded like them describing you. Levi gets fed up with this and looks over at Hayley, "Are you kidding me? Your best friend is standing right here and you'd rather be sitting on the floor with girls you just met a month ago, completely ignoring the fact that she exists? What is wrong with you? Pushing and shoving her, fat shaming her, then telling her to just ignore it? You are vile, and I refuse to associate myself with someone who calls themself a feminist then puts other women down to be considered likeable. We're done, Hayley." Levi rants, helping you gather your belongings and go outside into the front yard, settling you in his car.
"Are you okay? You're not okay," Levi mutters, worriedly running his fingers over your face, wiping the hot tears from under your eyes. "I'm sorry," He mumbles, "I'm sorry." He repeats, pulling you into a hug. Even though no one said anything, no one had to - you and Levi both knew there was something between you two, something real, irreplaceable. Levi leans in closer to you, pressing his forehead against yours, closing his eyes and just sitting in the car with you in silence.
He finally speaks up, breaking the silence, "I never liked her. It was always you, I always wanted you. I just... didn't want to hurt her. But if she hurt you, then... maybe saying something wasn't such a bad idea." He whispers, reaching his slender fingers behind your head to run them through your hair in a soothing manner. "I share the sentiment." You respond, meeting his gaze. He leans in closer and finally slots his lips against yours in a soft kiss, almost as if it was an apology. When he pulls back, he whispers quietly, "We have to be quiet," He snakes nis free hand down to the waistband of your pants, slipping his fingers under the fabric and finding your core, rubbing circles over your clothed clit.
He slips both your pants and his own down just enough to seat you on his lap, easing his cock into your sopping wet cunt, "Breathe, darling." He kisses the tip of your nose, his hands firmly on your hips, bouncing you up and down at the same time of meeting your hips with his own thrusts. His pace is slow, gentle, apologetic, loving. As he nears his own climax, his shaky breathing turns into soft whimpers that are barely perceivable, "Taking me so well like that, I'm going to cum- fuck-" He groans softly as he spills himself inside of you, hissing through gritted teeth as he feels your pussy clamp down on him as you cum on his dick.
Breathing heavily, the both of you lay there for a moment, basking in the afterglow of it all. "That's my pretty girl." He whispers softly, gently rubbing his thumb over your cheek with one hand, using the other to cup your face. "Guess this makes us a couple now, huh?" You tease. "My love, we've been one since the moment we met." Levi smiles. It's a small smile, one that's hardly even there, just the kind he gave to you and only you.
