>Finally
>you close the door behind you and unceremoniously dropped your work bag on the floor beside you
>as you kick off your shoes you can hear the tv blaring from the living room
>figures your roommate Gilda'd be home before you
>she usually was, but you couldn't complain about it since she normally woke up at 5:30 to get to the gym before work
>hanging up your jacket you make your way into your crappy apartment
>rent in the nice part of Canterlot was no joke, so you were happy to have a roommate
>you find yourself standing in the doorway to your living room, leaning against the doorframe
>good god you were tired
>"Hey, dweeb," comes a raspy voice that knocks you out of your daze "I ordered pizza for us and got that new Jane Wick movie on neighflix. I could start it again if you like, It only just started."
>you slump down on the couch beside your roommate and groan in appreciation
"Nah it's alright Gil, I just wanna close my eyes
after this week."
>Gilda chuckles, and wraps an arm around you, pulling you close
>an easy feat for her
>seriously, you've seen her deadlift over four hundred pounds
>your scrawny ass was easy street
>"that's why you need to go to the gym with me, sis!" Gilda confidently states
>your response is somewhat muffled considering that she had just pulled you face into her pair of plump breasts
"Gil, your routine would kill me. I'm not into breaking my spine everyday before work like you."
>"If you say so." comes the smug reply
>Gilda turns back to the movie
>holy shit, did Jane Wick just kill that girl with a book?
>awesome
>Gilda turns her head to look at you, still lying comfortably against her side
>She then seemed to lose her train of thought for a while
>the arm that had been wrapped around your shoulders loosened and tightened, seemingly unsure of itself
>heh
>silly Gilda
>You reached up and take her hand in yours
>you use your grip to pull her arm down over you as you snuggle into your taller roommate
>You feel Gilda freeze, then slowly relax as you got comfy together
>a bit of time passed like that before your stomach, still empty, mutinied
>a loud gurgling sound came from the pit of your stomach
>you and Gilda slowly turned your heads to look at each other before you both burst out laughing
"I completely forgot about dinner. where's the rest of the pizza?" you say after you had both calmed down a bit
>"Its, *Snrrk*, its on the counter." she said, clearly trying to hold in her laughter and failing
>you got off of your cuddle-buddy and went to go grab the box
>fuck yeah, its meatlovers
>best pizza of all time
>in this house we eat meat bois
>you head back to the couch with your catch
>as you enter your living room you see something weird
>Gilda appears to be giving herself a pep talk
>the only words you can make out are 'tonight' and 'do it' before Gil's eyes snap to you and she shuts her mouth
"everything alright, Gilda?" you as, concerned
>you sit down on the couch beside her
>her face is red, and she's sweating
"you feelin' sick or something?" you ask as you put your hand on her forehead "hmm, you don't feel hot..."
>"I"m fine, Anon, really. can we just watch the movie please?" She half yells
>not saying anything more, you lean into her once more with pizza in hand and try to get comfortable
>the next ten minutes passes quietly, with only the sounds of the movie and Gilda's heartbeat
>it was going a mile a minute
>this was weird
>you had NEVER seen Gilda this nervous!
>Not even when she first met you and accidentally walked in on you in the shower you shared
>You tried to wrap her arm around you again, but she resisted
>You reach out and lowered the volume of the movie before turning to Gilda
"What's wrong? and don't lie to me. we both know you cant lie to me."
>she sighs, before turning hear head to face you
>"It's just... y'know..." she mumbles before turning away
>wow
>that explains EVERYTHING!
>and by everything, you mean fuck all
>Time to bring out the big guns
"Gil, please tell me whats wrong." you say in a small, quivering voice
>She gulps
>you can feel her toned body heat up as a blush comes over her face
>"It's just..." she trails off
"come on, just what?
>"I'M SCARED OF RUINING OUR FRIENDSHIP, OK?" she explodes, pulling herself away from you
>wat
"Gil, what makes you think this thing would ruin our friendship? you my best friend in this wor- city, and nothing will change that." you quietly respond as you pull closer to her on the couch
>you wrap your arms around the Amazonian quietly shuddering besides you
>she sniffles, than turns to look at you
>there are tears just starting to form in her eyes
>"Because," she begins "Its one of those things that once its said, it cant taken back."
>you smile and wipe away a tear that had started rolling down her cheek
"I'd rather you be completely honest with me than stay quiet in fear of offending me."
>she stares deep into your eyes for a little while, before taking a shaky breath and grabbing both your hands in hers
>they were rough and warm, shaking slightly as they covered your own
>She looks everywhere but at your face as she mumbles quickly
>"Ididn'twanttoscareyouawayoranythingbecauseIknowIcanbeintimidatingbutyoualwayslaughatmydumbjokesandlikethesamethingsIlikeand-"
"OK," you interrupt the rambling woman in front of you "I didn't get any of that."
>She takes a deep breath and finally meets your eyes with hers
>"Because... oh fuck it!" she grumbles in annoyance
>You're about to ask her what she meant by that when she suddenly leans forward and presses her lips against yours
>its a soft kiss, but its enough to get her point across
>You open your mouth and begin making out for real
>Gilda never lets go of your hands the entire time you stay liplocked
>eventually you both have to come up for air and break the kiss
>Gilda's golden eyes are watery, and they sparkle in the light of the still-playing tv
>she quickly looks away, but you grab her face and bring her in for another quick kiss
>and you say the first thing that came to mind
"We're both idiots!"
>"Huh?"
>you start to laugh
"what, did you think i was just being friendly when we cuddled on the couch? When I went to your weightlifting competition and cheered for you louder than anyone else was cheering?
when I cooked you your favourite dinners? When I played Halo all night with you after that terrible date that I knew wouldn't end well, didn’t end well? I mean seriously, what did you see in that guy."
>Gilda, for her part, was just staring at you with that big, dumb, adorable look you fell in love with on her face
"Gilda, I love you! I have for months! And if it turns out you've felt the same way all this time I'm gonna scream!"
>that seemed to snap her out of it
>"... OK, don't freak out, but... maybe?" she nervously replied
>Goddammit
>without saying anything you buried you head in between those enormous knockers and screamed
>after a bit you felt a pair of strong arms wrap around you and give you a squeeze
>you look up at the smiling face of the woman you love, still stained with tears from earlier
>she leans down and gives you a peck on the forehead
>"Wanna rewind the movie and cuddle while we finish off the rest of the pizza?"
>you wiped off the tear stains from her face as you looked deep into her eyes
"Yeah."
