Rumi jolted awake in the middle of the night, tears streaming down her face. She had just experienced another nightmare about the night of the idol awards. In her dream, the two people she loved the most in the world told her she had been a mistake since the day she was born (like that night on stage) and that they would never accept or love her, not even platonically, let alone romantically. The dream left her deeply wounded and broken inside.
Their words that night had shattered her soul, and although she knew it was actually two demons speaking and not them, and they'd since talked and cried about it, she still couldn't heal.. she couldn’t move on. The trauma had remained with her, haunting her dreams, because that night had brought her worst nightmare to life.
She quickly looked around and immediately spotted Mira and Zoey cuddled together with her in her bed.
They had fallen asleep together in the exact same position they always take on stage, that is also the same position they always have while fighting, Zoey on her left and Mira on her right.
In retrospect, she should have realized immediately that the two people on the stage with her that night were not her two best friends because their positions were reversed.. But she had been so shocked and devastated that she couldn't thinking straight.
She was trying to control her breath to calm herself down and come back to sleep, she didn’t want to wake Zoey and Mira up.
Breath in
breath out
Breath in
Breath ..
“All good sweetheart?” Zoey sleepily asked, taking Rumi completely by surprise, she hadn’t notice that she was awake. And Hearing the brunette using such a pet name for her made her heart squeeze.
“Another nightmare?” Mira chimed in from the other side with a voice full of concern.
Having her two best friends (and secret loved ones) physically so close to her and looking at her with so much concern caused her to begin hyperventilating, while her eyes swollen up with unshed tears.
Zoey immediately sat up and cupped her cheek sweetly, “hey.. We are here.. We’ve got you” she told her while looking at her longingly. And then she hugged her tightly while Rumi started crying openly in the brunette’s shoulder.
Meanwhile, Mira sat up too and placed her right hand on Rumi’s back, gently making circular motions to help her relax.
“Is.. Is it always the same nightmare?” Zoey inquired.
“The one related to me and Zoey on the stage of the idol awards?” Mira continued.
Rumi was still hugging Zoey, she felt so safe and protected in between her two best friends.. Zoey sitting in front of her and hugging her while Mira was sitting behind her, comforting her and making her feeling protected. She loved them so much that it was hurting.
She sniffed and she simply nodded her head in the brunette’s shoulder.
Zoey and Mira exchanged a knowing look while exhaling heavily. Zoey slightly disentangled herself from the embrace, putting just enough distance to have Rumi’s face in front of her.
“I might have an idea that can help you feeling better..” she said gently, looking at Rumi nervously.
“Only one?” Mira asked in a mocking tone just to ease part of the tension that Zoey and herself were feeling.
“Well actually I have 26.. But this one is my favorite..” she concluded while biting her bottom lip and Rumi thought that she was the most beautiful woman in the world (sharing her first place only with Mira). And then she felt immediately ashamed of the thoughts she was having about the 2 of them.
Rumi looked at her expectantly, she had no idea what the lyricist had in mind.. then she simply nodded and didn’t move one single muscle waiting for Zoey to tell her what was her idea.
Zoey took a deep breath, exchanged another quick look with Mira over Rumi’s shoulder and then she cupped Rumi’s face with both her hands cradling it. She slowly moved closer to Rumi’s face until her lips were just a couple of inches away from Rumi’s (who at this point was completely frozen on the spot).
“May I?” the rapper asked her shyly.
She had barely the time to nod that Zoey was kissing her, and Rumi’s head exploded.
Zoey’s kiss was slow and sweet.. and fierce at the same time. Rumi absolutely melted in it, her nightmare fading into a distant memory and nothing more.
None of the girls noticed it, but few golden sparks appeared in the Honmoon.
The kiss ended as fast as it had stared and Rumi was already missing Zoey’s lips on hers.
She didn’t even have the time to recover that she felt Mira grabbing her chin and turning her head in her own direction and then the pinkhead was kissing her. Other few golden sparks appeared in the Honmoon.
Mira’s kiss was hungry and firm.. and full of devotion at the same time. And Rumi couldn’t avoid the soft moan that escaped her lips. Their kissing style was completely different but each one of them was making her head spin and her heart race.
Also Mira’s kiss finished too quickly leaving Rumi desperate for more.. what more exactly was still not clear to her, until she found herself sandwiched between her two best friends while they were passionately kissing each other, and all pieces came back together. She wanted to keep kissing both of them.. she wanted the three of them to be together romantically.
She clearly spotted Mira’s tongue entering with ease in Zoey’s mouth, who moaned and wrapped her arms around Mira’s neck. And she immediately wondered why on hearth were her kisses without that..? And she whimpered.
While looking at them kissing, Rumi’s heart filled with a joy she had never experienced before and all the bad thoughts she had had until that moment were now completely forgotten. No surprise that Zoey was right with her idea (as she was most of the times).
When Zoey and Mira separated, she looked at them dazedly and innocently asked, “Is this real? I mean.. Is this a dream?”
“Why should it be?” Zoey asked giggling while Mira moved closer to her trying to protectively embrace them both.
“Why otherwise the two most attractive women in the world - that also happened to be together since forever - would be kissing me?” Rumi asked desperately.
“Oh Rumi.. you really don’t know?” Zoey inquired sadly, sending another quick glance to Mira who simply raised an eyebrow.
“We’ve been in love with you for years..” Zoey confessed and Rumi bulged her eyes out.
“We confessed our feelings for each other more than 3 years ago..” Mira continued and Rumi quickly turned towards her, “but we decided to not act upon them because we felt it wrong.. like we were not complete without you” a single tear escaped her eyes and traced her cheek. Rumi quickly raised her hand to grab the pinkhead’s cheek and brushed her thumb over it to dry her tears.
“We decided to wait for you, Rumi.. For you to be ready..” Mira continued but her voice cracked.
“But you always kept us at a certain distance and when you started going out with Jinu” Zoey intervened to support Mira and finish their part of the story, “we realized that there was no hope that you’d develop any type of romantic feeling for us” she sniffed but continued, “so we decided to get together and comfort each other knowing that we would never be complete.. But that at least we had each other.. We are together since just few weeks Rumi” she took a deep breath while few tears were streaming down her cheeks.
“We are sorry that we made you uncomfortable with our kisses tonight..” Zoey concluded with the saddest expression in her eyes that Rumi had ever seen.
“But at least Zoey was right and we made you forget your nightmare for some time” Mira chuckled nervously.
They were both retreating from her, feeling that they had just crossed a line that had made Rumi uncomfortable. They didn’t want to create any more stress for the purple-haired girl, so they had assumed that the best thing to do at that moment was to give her space (physically and emotionally).
Zoey was not hugging her anymore and was now at a good arm length from her.
Similarly Rumi could sense that Mira was not behind her anymore. She immediately turned towards the pinkhead and she saw the she was about to leave her bed.
And Rumi instantly panicked.
“WAIT!!” She shouted, panting and already shaking for the void they had left. “Please.. Wait” she continued with a smaller voice while trying to get a grasp of the other girls.
With a quick stretched movement Rumi was able to grasp Mira’s wrist pulling her again on the bed, while thankfully Zoey came instantly closer to her again just by hearing how desperate her voice had sounded.
She was able to calm down only when her two best friends were sitting again close to her (Zoey’s hand on her thing and Mira’s fingers intertwined with hers).
She was looking erratically from one to another, not knowing how to phrase her question and to whom.. Since she was so desperately in love with them both.
“Y-you are telling me that I can have this..?” She asked looking in Zoey’s eyes, “that I can have you.. Both of you.. Romantically?” She turned to Mira while finishing her question with her eyes full of hope.
“Yes princess..” Mira chuckled, and Rumi simply couldn’t stop herself and she surged forward to kiss her again but this time decisively more passionately than before. A deep moan escape her throat when she felt Zoey’s lips kissing down her neck and her left shoulder blade. She slowly moved away from Mira’s lips and turned toward Zoey to kiss her deeply, keeping both of them as close to her as possible.
She reluctantly moved away from Zoey’s lips (honestly she could spend all the night keep kissing them), but she wanted to tell them her feelings for them.. no more secrets.
She looked longingly from one to another, her right hand cupping Mira’s face and her left hand on Zoey’s cheek.
“I’ve been in love with you both since..” she took a deep breath to recollect herself, “..well since forever!” She continued with tears in her eyes, “but all my secrets were keeping me in chains and I could do nothing”. Both Mira and Zoey had tears in their eyes. “But now I can.. and being with you two is the thing that I desire the most in this world”, and she brought the two of them closer to her clinging at them for a tight and warm embrace, full of promises for the future.
“Let’s go back to sleep?” she asked them yawning tiredly, and they both laughed.
Rumi lied down again bringing Zoey and Mira down together with her. Zoey snuggled her head in the crook of her neck (giving her a small kiss there that elicited goosebumps in all her body), while Mira embraced her and put her chin on her head after giving her a kiss on her right temple (and making her feel the safest person in the world), Zoey’s and Mira’s fingers intertwined on her stomach.
Before falling asleep Rumi noticed that the Honmoon was becoming more and more golden. Her heart sized and finally she smiled understanding that at the end the real trigger to turn the Honmoon gold was their love for each other.
