Midnight Kiss (LizRei)

빛나는 you~

Part 2 of Baddie~

IVE just came back with a new album so everyone was busy, especially Liz. Because aside from all the music shows and tv guestings, she gained a lot of brand endorsements, too. Her schedule involved oversees commitments and finally, she's back.

So right now, after a hectic schedule, she wanted to relax... by invading Rei's room again. The thought made her giddy and excited.

It has been a while since she came to claim the other side of the Japanese girl's bed so she missed it so much. Especially the owner.

After a nice, warm shower, she changed into some pajamas and headed straight to Rei's room. When she opened the door, the said girl was fast asleep, facing the wall and hugging Liz's plushie, Cheez.

How adorable!

Liz melted at the sight and did not waste any more time as she quietly strided across the room to get to Rei. A familiar warmth spread through her chest as she caught a sight of the girl that she adores the most.

Quickly, she takes the empty space behind Rei and wrapped the girl in a tight embrace.

"I missed you today, Jagi." Liz murmured as she pressed her face on Rei's hair. The latter must've sensed her even in her sleep because she stirred and turned around to face Liz.

Rei was still fast asleep but there was a small smile in her face. Liz couldn't help but stare. Their faces were so close and Liz's gaze fell on Rei's lips.

Her mind was swirling with a lot of things she wanted to do. But the urge to kiss Rei blurred everything else.

One kiss won't hurt, right? Just a smack will do.

She knows Rei is a heavy sleeper. Won't even remember anything she's about to do.

Liz spent ample time on contemplating if she'll give in or not. But the more she tries to not do it, the more her heart tells her otherwise. She yearned for the girl when she couldn't see her. She longed for her smile and laugh during her solo schedules. Liz felt that all of those will fade if she kiss her now.

She reached up to softly trace Rei's face to her chin.

"When I get the courage, I'll do this again when you wake up..." she says in a whisper then leaned in to finally kiss the girl she loves.

Warmth blossomed in her chest as their lips touched. Her mind went on a haze as she let her lips linger there. Liz didn't know how long she stayed that way until she was being deprived of oxygen already. Even so, she didn't want to part just yet.

After the kiss, she couldn't take her eyes off of Rei and her lips. She feels like she was on cloud nine. In her mind, she could not believe that she did it. Rei was still sound asleep and had no idea of what she did.

Liz's mind went blank. She kissed Rei. What will happen if she finds out? How will she react to that? Even though she knows that Rei feels the same way towards her, they never actually talked about it. And now, she did something rash.

Before the thought consumes her, she pulled Rei closer and rest their foreheads together. For now, she should sleep. She'll worry about it tomorrow. Right now, at least she has Rei in her arms.

The next morning, Liz woke up first. They're still tangled to each. She watched Rei breathe. She's really a heavy sleeper, aigoo, she thought and smiled to herself. Her eyes went down to Rei's lips once again. And the image of last night flashed before her.

Oh no... What should I do when she wakes up? Should I tell her?

Her mind was spiraling again, but was cut off when Rei stirred. Her face crunched a bit and she unconsciously raised her hand, but accidentally hit Liz's nose instead.
