Frankie was grinning the whole way to where ever Tatum was taking her. It was New Years, and Christmas had been so shitty, so when Charlie had offered her a free E she took it happily. It had been about thirty minutes now, and she was running a hand along the wall of textured wallpaper before blinking when Tatum finally got the light.

"Perfect" she said breathlessly, eyes widened and pupils massive.

"Right?" Tatum replied, as if it was the most obvious thing ever. "You're really pretty," she commented dreamily, seeming to lose her train of thought of why they were even up here, leaning in closer to Frankie, their lips just an inch apart. "Your eyes are tripping me out though, they're like.. black, dude."

She was leaning clumsily over the other girl as she spoke, leaning them against the wallpaper Frankie had been admiring moments before. "Don't laugh at your present," she added, seeming to remember what was going on again.

Frankie opened her eyes wider until the iris was surround by white and started laughing. "I want it" she pouted, bouncing on the balls of her feet.

Tatum couldn't help but laugh once Frankie did, stepping back from her momentarily. "Impatient much?" she offered, before lifting the edge of her shirt a little off of her waist so that she could dig a hand into the pocket of her jeans. "Seriously, don't laugh, it's kind of dumb," she warned, still fishing around in the pocket.

Eventually, she produced a small black box and a badly folded purple envelope. Digging for a second into the other pocket, she came out with a package of cigarettes and a lighter, holding all of it out plainly to the brunette with a grin.

"I ordered you a pair of shoes too, but they.. probably won't be in till we're back to school."

	Tatum/Frankie

"Babe" she said, opening the little box and beaming. "Thank you" she whispered, slipping the ring on and turning her hand so it sparkled in the light. She also popped the cigarette in her mouth, lit it and took a drag, before placing it between Tatum's lips.

"This has been better than any Christmas."

	Tatum/Frankie

Tatum smiled widely, taking her own drag off of the cigarette, and exhaling from the opposite side of her mouth. "Here," she began, reaching out and taking Frankie's hand. She turned the ring, facing the heart and crown in toward the brunette's palm. "Means your heart is captured. Dramatic, right?" she explained, grinning sheepishly.

	Tatum/Frankie

"Dramatic is my thing" Frankie said, touched. She hugged Tatum and grinned happily. "I didn't bring yours with me. I sort of left it at school" Frankie admitted. She had been preoccupied lately.

Tatum smiled, playfully pinching at the other girl's side. "You couldn't even remember my present? How rude," she joked, laughing. "I don't even care, I'm just like.. so happy to be here. It's like, I felt super bad when your Christmas was shit, and I couldn't do anything, but now we're like.. hanging out, and it's all good. It's fucking awesome," she explained, rambling on a bit as she spoke.

Perhaps it wasn't the most eloquent way of explaining it, but the emotions were still the same. She looked a little embarrassed, and a little high. "Love you Frank," she slurred, that sheepish smile coming over her again, as she leaned more comfortably against the other girl. "Sorry Christmas was lame as fuck," she whispered, pressing her lips against the other girl's neck.

	Tatum/Frankie

"Ditto" she whispered in Tatum's ear. Frankie wrapped her arms around Tatum's waist and closed her eyes briefly. "It was lame, but hanging with Gray made it better" she explained, forgetting that she wasn't going to mention that she had spent the night at Gray's house.

	Tatum/Frankie

Though she tried to resist it, Tatum tensed up a little, just briefly. "Gray? You guys were hanging out?" she murmured, not lifting her head, her words spoken against Frankie's neck and shoulder. She pulled back a little, enough to take a drag from the cigarette she had been holding, before offering it to Frankie. "I definitely didn't like, know that.. that's cool though, if he wasn't a dick?"

	From: petitechou	Date: December 27th, 2010 02:52 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Tatum/Frankie

"No, he wasn't a dick at all" she said, taking the cig and flicking ash in a paper cup. "He was really sweet, we had fun. We watched Home Alone and drank rum. Have you ever heard of Home Alone?"

	From: porcelinaofvast	Date: December 27th, 2010 04:26 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Tatum/Frankie

Tatum took the cigarette back once Frankie ashed it, taking a drag and letting it hang between her lips as the other girl spoke. Raising her eyebrows, she blinked some at her girlfriend. "Who hasn't heard of Home Alone? It's like, classic Culkin."

	Tatum/Frankie

"What is Coolkeen?" She said, her accent making it sound a little warped. "Why do you both keep saying that?" She laughed anyway, shaking her head.

"He's an actor. Well, one actor from a family of actors, I suppose. You need to watch one of his other movies, I'll download Party Monster for you when we get back to school.. I think you'll like it, one of my favorite movies. Maybe I can mention it to Vinnie and we can get a whole bunch of people together to watch it," Tatum suggested, rambling on absently, eventually trailing off.

"Seriously though, I.. don't mind. You going to his house. If that's what you think, I just.. I'm surprised. But it's okay. I'm just.. forget it, right? It's New Years, so fuck it. Let's just have fun."

	Tatum/Frankie

Frankie shrugged, taking Tatum's word for it. She was sure the red head was right, but she was more interested in stroking this fantastic wallpaper.

"I had to go somewhere, and I know he has spare beds. We ended up falling asleep on the couch though." She smiled widely and kissedTatum's forehead. "I am having fun" she murmured.

	Tatum/Frankie

"O-On the couch? Together?" Tatum murmured back, closing her eyes a bit as Frankie kissed her forehead. "Me too," she quickly added, her arms reaching out clumsily, wrapping around the brunette again.

	Tatum/Frankie

"Yeah! It was just easier that way. I woke up with my face closer to his foot than I wanted it to be" she joked, trying to ease the tension.

	From: porcelinaofvast	Date: December 27th, 2010 11:30 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Tatum/Frankie

Tatum couldn't help but laugh at that, easily breaking up the somewhat somber mood that had been creeping up on her. It was like the laughing reminded her just how much she had drank, and how her whole body still felt strange and her head was a little dizzy. "Well, you know.. you're like, always welcome to wake up by my feet instead. Or we could just skip the feet part, and keep the rest," Tatum said quietly, a goofy smile crossing her face.

"I want to wake up next to you," she murmured, leaning in again, her own hand grazing the fascinating wallpaper behind them.

"I didn't want to impose on you, Gray is kind of always alone on Christmas." Frankie looked a little sad but it was only for a second, when another wave of euphoria washed over her. She traced a finger over Tatum's lips and smiled herself.

	Tatum/Frankie

"You never impose on me.. like, ever in a million years," Tatum replied, only slightly slurred, lips twitching into a wider smile as Frankie's finger moved over them.

"I'm your girlfriend, I'm supposed to be here for like.. whatever you want. Always, right?"

	From: petitechou	Date: December 29th, 2010 06:57 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Tatum/Frankie

"Right" Frankie agreed, only a little doubtful in her mind. Tatum deserved better than her drama, things would be better at school, right?

	From: porcelinaofvast	Date: December 29th, 2010 07:06 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Tatum/Frankie

"Exactly," Tatum murmured, as if that answered everything. She leaned in again, pressing her lips up to Frankie's, her hand tensing against the wallpaper behind them again. "You worry too much," she muttered against the brunette's lips, leaning more heavily against her, finding her in another kiss. They weren't the neatest kisses, almost a little drunkenly sloppy, but there was passion behind them.

	Tatum/Frankie

"You worry too" Frankie accussed whilst giggling until she was silenced by Tatum's kiss. She let her lead, letting herself be pushed back by the kiss and smiled serenely.

	Tatum/Frankie

Tatum was slightly lost in the kiss for a moment, leaning even more heavily against the other girl. Eventually pulling back, she fixed the brunette with a little smile. "I'm not worried right now," she offered in a little whisper. It was almost sort of surprising. Usually when they got close like this, she'd get so nervous..

It wasn't an unwelcome change. "Not worried a bit," she murmured, leaning in again, lips pressing against Frankie's jawline.

"Well good. It suits you" Frankie teased, relaxing slightly, though she hadn't realised the tension in her body.
