    You were sitting alone, deep in thought, when she crossed your mind again. No matter what you did it always seemed as though she would slip into your mind. You couldn't help but feel butterflies in your stomach at the mere sight of her or at the quick crossing scent of her perfume. Out in the garden your attention was finally drawn back by the sound of Miss Peregrine's voice as she approached where you sat. "Lovely day, isn't it y/n?" Miss Peregrine said with that sweet melodic voice that made your heart skip a beat. Your eyes widened as you flustered at the sound of her voice hoping there wasn't too noticeable a blush across your face. "Y-yes, i-it is quite nice out" you managed to stutter, internally wincing at your flustered words. She sat beside you in the grass and you felt the heat rise in your face. Between the glint in her stunning blue eyes and the calmness of her features, you had to fight yourself to maintain your composure. You feel the side of her body brush against you as she takes off her coat, scooting closer to place it over both your and her legs. She lays down, resting her head on an arm, and closes her eyes. You watch as she adjusts, trying to get comfortable, and pick up the coat. She looks up as you start to fold it, tiling her head in curiosity wondering what you are doing. You finally finish and you hand her the jacket, which is now folded into a pillow. "How did you do that?" she questions. "Just something I picked up." you reply as you remove your own jacket and fold it into a pillow. You lay beside her under the warm sun as you place the pillow down. You notice her drifting off as her breathing slows and you close your eyes listening to the chirping of the birds and the rustling of the leaves in the breeze. The day slowly leaks away as the two of you lay beside each other. You wake up hours later in her arms, glad to be engulfed in the warmth of her body in the now chilled air. You see two of the teens, Emma and Jake, who also live on the property standing above you whispering as they discuss waking the two of you up and you close your eyes again, enjoying the comfort and warmth of the cuddling as long as you could. A few minutes go by and Emma kneels down and gently shakes you both to wake you and Alma up. You both fluster and your faces go red as you realize you've been cuddled against each other for the past few hours. Emma and Jake, standing above you glance at each other and giggle as you and Alma get up and head inside for dinner. The two of you ate silently as the others around the table engaged in small talk and gossip. A few times you could hear something about you and Alma cuddling being brought up, which apparently everyone saw and the group began shipping the two of you with one another as though neither of you were sitting right there. Once dinner was over and everything was cleaned up, everyone started heading off to bed. You headed to your room which was right next door to Alma's and started changing into your nightwear. Your mind started wandering to Alma again and all the conversations you overheard at dinner. You felt a presence at your door, a nervous one as though the person wanted to come in, but they couldn't build the courage to knock. "Come in" you say gently. A moment later, Alma walked in with hesitance and looked down at her feet before glancing up at you. A slightly noticeable blush deepening on her face as she tried to speak. "So.. uh.. I guess you probably heard everyone" she said as she looked down again the light pink color deepening as she did. "Yeah, uh.. so..." you muster in a failed attempt to respond. You were unable to convey anything other than flustered stuttering as your face turned a deep shade of pink which was likely to soon be crimson. She slowly stepped closer and you glanced up from the floorboards to look at her face. You stood closely in front of each other for a few seconds unable to speak until you wrapped your arm around her waist causing her to be even closer, to which her breath hitched and the pink color in her face turned to crimson. She looked down then back up wrapped an arm around your waist, and brought a hand up to caress your cheek. You tilted your head into her hand and closed your eyes. You leaned forward so your forehead was against hers. You feel comfortable in the moment and it crosses your mind that she may feel the same way toward you as you feel toward her. You manage to get out in a quiet voice slightly over a whisper, "Alma.. I..., I think I like you... like, a lot...", you pause for a second and take a breath. It hit you that you just admitted you liked her right to her face and you automatically flustered in a panic, "I just didn't know if you felt the same, and I-I didn't want to make things weird between us if you didn't like me, and-and". You were quickly cut off by her soft lips pressing against your own. Your eyes widened in surprise and you tangled your hand into her hair and kissed her back with just as much passion as the embrace grew closer. You separated and looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. Alma finally broke the silence. "I love you too y/n, I just didn't know before if you felt the same way". You looked down then back up into her eyes, "do you think that maybe I could sleep in your bed tonight? - with you? - and that maybe we could cuddle up like in the garden... I-I liked that. You're very warm, i-it's comforting". She let out a gentle laugh. You glanced down again and she lifted your chin up to face her and gently spoke, "of course y/n. I enjoyed that too". She leaned in and kissed you and pulled you in for a hug as you nuzzled your head into her neck. She wrapped her arm around you as you walked to the door. As you opened it, three of the teens, Emma, Jake, and Olive, fell in front of you. They looked up and smiled. One of them was able to speak as the other two got up, "we saw you going to y/n's room and we wanted to see if you would get together", as though that would excuse eavesdropping with their ears pressed against the door. Alma decided to let it go and sent them off to bed. She turned her attention to you and the two of you walked out of your room and into hers. It was late and you both were tired. You laid down, cuddling up and both quickly fell into a slumber.
