Binn ~ I'll try

[Finnick Radke]

Finn felt a strong sense of abandonment when she sat up and looked like she was trying to gather her clothes. Had he done something wrong? Had she not enjoyed herself like how he thought she had? Her extremely loud noises were more than likely the cause of his previous ear ringing, but didn't that mean that she was feeling it? It took everything in him not to reach out and take her hand to stop her from leaving, but he was able to withhold because he wanted to see if maybe, by some miracle, that she would stay. He hoped for that at least.

"Bee?" He asked quietly. Just as he'd said that, she turned around and placed a kiss on his forehead. By now, he was propped up on one elbow, still upset that she might have regretted their act. How could he be so damn selfish? He shook his head, "No, Bee, no.." He started, "I don't regret anything. It was perfect, you're perfect, I-" He stopped when she wrapped herself up with him and he rested back on the bed. Finn placed his hand on the back of her hair and rested his chin on her forehead. He couldn't help but smile to himself with her next question. 

"You know something?" Finn started quietly, "This time last year, I was nobody. I just had my mom and Parker. I never would have guessed that something so good would have come from something so bad, but then you showed up." He paused, trying to keep himself from getting too excited like how he always did when he talked about her. "I never thought that I could feel love for someone, but I was just taken the moment we met. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced before." Finn gave the top of her head a quick peck before he continued. "I never imagined that I'd be that guy that got the best girl but I'm sure as hell glad I did because I love you so much I can't even explain it."

"You might have regretted your first time, but I won't. I won't because it was with you and I dunno, if you want.. we could pretend that this was your real first.." Finn said, feeling a slight wave of anxiety wash over him for no reason. Would she be opposed to the idea or would she possibly go for it? He was aware that there wasn't a way that he could actually be her first, but why not think that it was her real first? Or maybe it was that Bo kid who had already beat him to the 'real first' part. If that was the case, he was in for a big let down.

[Beatrice Reynolds]

"You're so perfect." Beatrice mused affectionately as she thought over his last statement. Could they pretend that her past three sexual partners hadn't counted? None of them had really been anything that she wanted to remember as she hadn't been as truly in love with them as she was Finn. She already knew that Esme majorly subtracted from her 'total' since she claimed to have only slept with three people, all of which she'd loved. It was nice living in a fantasy world where only the people that you cared for or enjoyed counted but wasn't that immoral? It wasn't like she was committing a crime though nor was she sexually active enough to worry about passing various infections or diseases. Plus, he seemed so hopeful that she couldn't imagine rejecting something as genuine as that.

She pursed her lips and nodded slowly, "Yes.. I would like that." She had always been a bit of a hopeless romantic so this kind of fit into that little fairytale that she'd grown up with in her head. She had finally found that prince charming who was willing to treat her like Cinderella. Things between them weren't perfect but neither were Disney princess movies. Everything had a conflict - the evil stepmother, the wicked witch and the beast being such a major douche in the beginning immediately came to mind. "Do you think that it would be okay if I spent the night here with you? It just wouldn't seem right to go home and spend the night sleeping all alone after what we just did." You don't just make love for the first time every day!

Bee would understand if he told her no for whatever reason even if it was just that he didn't feel like having company over. They had spent an awful lot of nights together back when he was recovering from the ordeal with his horrid excuse of a father. His mother and brother would probably be coming back home at some point tonight, too, and she didn't know if either of them appreciated having his girlfriend sleeping over all the time. "I mean... I understand if I can't stay over because of your mom or if you just want to be on your own." She quickly blurted out as she moved just a little bit closer to him. Her nails were practically digging into this poor boy's skin as she tightened her grip on him!

She hadn't noticed yet or she would have quickly released. She would never even dare think of hurting him on purpose. She was far too invested in keeping his mental health stable to cause him any kind of pain - physical or emotional.

Everything that he had ever wanted, he had found in Beatrice. Affection, honesty, love, goodness. Finn wasn't much of a religious king of person but he did believe in angels, demons and God. And Bee was just that of a broken hallelujah; his answered prayer in a desperate hour. In order for someone to recover, they needed someone to guide them and that is exactly what she did. She was there to brush him off when he fell, give him that push when he needed reassurance. Finn thought that the love from his mother and brother was all he needed, but the love that Bee brought to the table was so much more the prescription he needed.

Finn grinned shyly, "Of course you can stay, they won't be home the rest of the night and they won't mind if you're here in the morning." He said just above a whisper. He reached his hand up to brush a stray strand of hair from her face and safely tucked it behind her ear. "Do you realize how beautiful you are?" He asked, feeling like he never really that that enough. "Cause you are. No one else can compare." Finn smiled sweetly and buried his face in the pillow, rolling slightly onto his stomach and giggling to himself. He felt like such a kid all of a sudden who had his first crush walk up and kiss their cheek at recess. 

He's always wondered how it would feel to be free of the burden that were his memories. And with her right there with him, he knew what it felt like. He didn't have that darkness lingering over him or the voices telling him that he was nothing but a puppet; a toy to be tossed around and drug through the grime. There was not enough that he would ever be able to do that could repay her for what she'd given him, but he made it a point to start working on it. Finn pulled Bee close to him, not minding the tight squeeze she had on his own body. "Will you still be here in the morning?" He asked. He was hopeful that he wouldn't wake up to an empty bed and no trace that she was there. "I'll make you breakfast if you stay."
