Hug away sad feels || Dakota & Liz
Liz stepped inside, turning to Dakota and showing her a small smile. The house smelled like alcohol, a scent she had gotten quite used to. Elijah’s room smelled like Dakota’s house all the time, only ten times worse. She didn’t mind. In the least. There was something pleasant about the smell, something so familiar it almost comforted her. “Hey Dakota.” she said, stepping forward and wrapping her arms around the girl. After all, that’s what she came to do. Hug all her sad feelings away. She held her as tight as possible for it not to be too awkward, her head resting on top of the blond’s. It was the kind of hug where she easily melted against the other person’s frame, and where it was starting to get hard to define where one ended or started.
“I’m really sorry, Dakota. I never meant to hurt you or anything. And I really had a great time with you last night. I don’t give every girl a penny, you know.” She chuckled, kissing her on top of her head before pulling away enough to look at her. “How are you feeling? Hangover and all aside.” She cupped her cheeks lightly and pushed the corners of her mouth up. “You should smile, pretty one. I like smiling you better than pouting you.” She tucked her hair behind her ear and hugged her again, swaying them around slowly. “Do my hugs even make you feel any better?”
When Liz wrapped her arms around Dakota, she could have pushed her away. She could have just told her to fuck off like she did with most people who hurt her. But she didn’t want to push her away. She stayed still for a moment before she hugged back, wrapping her arms tightly around the slender girl. “It’s okay,” she whispered eventually. It wasn’t really okay, but it seemed like the proper response and she didn’t want to be rude. She remembered the penny and tried to remember where she had put it. It was probably somewhere still in the pocket of her pants. The thing is, she didn’t remember where she put them.
Dakota shrugged at Liz’s question, not really knowing the answer herself. “I’m feeling fine. Better than ever.” She stretched the lie a bit too much and smiled when Liz pulled up the corners of her lips. She hugged her back once again, enjoying her warmth and comfort. But she knew that she couldn’t let herself fall into the trap again. Her she was, complimenting her and making her feel like there was something, but then she was going to just walk all over her again. She pulled out of the hug slowly, not angrily, to answer her question. “Kind of. Yes. They do. They make me feel a lot better.” She looked down at her feet and shook her head. “But you’re doing it again. You’re telling me I’m pretty… and the penny.. and you’re just leading in me on again. It’s fucking confusing.” She looked back up and Liz with a questioning expression. “Can’t you just tell me or something. It feels like people are just playing games with me and it’s all so confusing.. I just don’t get it.” She swallowed back the tears, not wanting to cry in front of her. “I’m just not good with any of this.”
