May 5th, 1985
After he brought her upstairs, Niamh paused in the doorway of the Reese's dorm and hesitantly had a quick look around before she followed him in. "...It feels so weird to be up here," she murmured.
"Why's that?" Reese grinned, kicking clothes under his bed.
"Because this is the boys dorm, and-yeah." Although honestly, it looked pretty much the same as her own. "I never thought I'd ever be here."
He smirked. "I guess you were wrong," Reese said, straightening his covers a little.
"I guess so," she replied, giggling a bit. "And thankfully everyone else is out-"
"We're bloody lucky about that," Reese said, kicking his shoes off and crawling onto his bed. He patted the spot next to him with a grin.
"I wouldn't be here, otherwise," Niamh replied, making herself comfortable.
Reese got up to shut the bed hangings. He moved next to her and grinned. "And I am so glad that you are."
"Remember what I said over the hols and that it was unlikely we'd get the chance to do this sort of thing here? Well, we've been back for what, three weeks and yet, here we are..."
"I'm just that irresistible," he told her, kissing her neck lightly.
She giggled a little again. "When you put it like that-"
"It's the gospel truth," he snickered.
"I'm certainly not about to deny it," Niamh assured him.
"I didn't think you would," Reese said, slipping his hands under her shirt.
Grinning, Niamh leaned in to kiss him, happy that they were finally alone and she could do so in the manner she wanted. "...Much better," she murmured.
"You can say that again," he replied, realising with a grin that he was flat on his back looking up at her.
"Hi," she told him, giggling. "Sorry about that-"
"Don't apologise," Reese laughed. "I'm not complaining!"
"No? In that case-" Niamh leaned in again, and started to work on the buttons on his shirt.
"You're brilliant," he mumbled, working on her buttons as fast as possible.
"I do try to be," Niamh said, blushing a little as he eventually slipped her shirt off of her shoulders and pushed it out of the way.
He smirked. "It has been three weeks too long," Reese told her, eyeing her shamelessly.
"How have you possibly managed to hold off this long?"
"I'm obviously a saint," he told her easily, helping her shrug off his own shirt.
"Oh, don't get too confident, there," Niamh said, laughing a little.
"Oh no?"
"Well, you're fit, I'll give you that-"
"Just what I thought," he said with a smirk.
"Well, I could have changed my mind from before!"
"Change your mind?"
"But lucky for you, that didn't happen."
"You'd really change your mind?" Reese asked her.
"I was kidding."
"Just checking," he said, stealing a kiss.
"I- Yeah, you have no worries," she assured him.
"Good," Reese said, rolling over so he was on top. "I'd be pretty upset if you wanted someone else."
"Trust me, I definitely don't want anyone else," Niamh said softly.
"Me either," he mumbled, leaning in to kiss her.
Niamh held on to the kiss for a while, considering that had been a couple of weeks since they'd been able to snog like this.
Reese found himself on his back again and snickered upon realising it. "Like it up there, do you?"
"I, um-" Niamh stammered, realising she was blushing a little again. "Apparently?"
"Must be the captain in you," he smirked, kissing her neck.
"I thought you liked that..."
"Believe me, I do," Reese murmured.
"Then maybe it should stay like this for a while-"
"We could try it like that," he smirked.
"We could," Niamh said slowly.
"If you want..."
"I think I do. Want to, that is."
Reese felt around for his wand and cast a silencing charm. "Just in case," he replied, smirking up at her.
"I- yeah. We probably should have done that earlier," Niamh admitted.
"It's done now," Reese shrugged, winking at her. "We're fine."
"I hope no one comes lookin' for either of us anytime soon!"
"Somehow, I don't think they will," Reese said, running his hands up her arms.
"Or that none of your other roommates come back-"
"They won't know we're here," Reese assured her.
"Right, with the charms and things-" Why was she nervous all of a sudden? She hadn't been nervous before.
"Hey," Reese said, looking concerned. He managed to sit up and touch her face.
"I'm fine, really-" she insisted, knowing that look.
"Really?" Reese asked, skeptically.
"Yes, I-" Niamh bit her lip. "...I'm nervous, and I don't know why," she admitted. "It's not like this is the first time."
Reese looked surprised and wrapped his arms around her. "You don't have to nervous with me," he told her softly.
"I know-" A thought had crossed her mind a moment ago that scared her, which was probably why she was a little shaken up.
"I-we can just snog or just be up here if you want," Reese said, biting his tongue from what had been about to come out of his mouth. "I don't want to do anything that makes you uncomfortable."
"I'm not uncomfortable, really," she insisted, offering him a faint smile. "Of everyone, you're pretty much the one I'm most comfortable with."
"Of everyone? Really?"
"Well, you and Victoria, I guess."
"I'm flattered," he said with a smile.
"You should be!"
"You sure you're okay?" He asked, trying not to look a little worried.
Niamh took a deep breath to try and calm herself. "I'm sure."
Reese kissed her lightly. "I l-good," he murmured.
"I get to snog you, of course I'm fine!"
"Just fine?" He teased.
"Well, depending on how good the snog is-"
"Oh it's brilliant," he assured her, letting his hands wander.
"Well, it was pretty good earlier-"
Reese shifted so she was on her back. "You mean is."
"Okay, is," Niamh agreed, giggling.
"Absolutely," he grinned. "Damn you're fit," he murmured, starting to kiss her neck.
"Look who's suddenly turnin' on the charm," Niamh teased.
"It's in turn for you saying it to me," he teased in return.
"Is it, now?"
"And it's true," he replied simply.
"You're biased," Niamh said, grinning before she kissed him again.
"So're you," he mumbled.
"Happily so," she told him.
"Same here," Reese replied, kissing along her jawline.
"You know, you may have to make some kind of deal with Dylan so I can come back up here again," Niamh told him.
"You think so?" Reese murmured, continuing his actions.
"Mhmm. This is brilliant-"
"Then you are definitely coming up here again," he told her, moving to her neck.
"Sounds good to me," Niamh murmured, again finding it difficult to concentrate on anything but him.
