Short Story: Throw Pillow
Guess who got back into Destiny? I got my brother to play it now so I'm helping him level up.
It's fun writing about Alex again.
Destiny belongs to Bungie.
My guardian oc (Alex Ridley) belongs to me.

26. Throw Pillow
The hunter fell face down on the couch with a groan. Alex had been camping in Eclipse’s apartment, she didn’t want to face the world currently, not when she left the Exo Stranger like that. She didn’t want to explain why. It was childish- she was jealous and she hated it. Alex wanted to be happy for her.
Alex grabbed the pillow and buried her face in it. Why was she even jealous? That warlock obviously didn’t know about their relationship- even if he was a little handsy- she shook her head. No! And Elsie can take care of herself perfectly fine, she didn’t need someone always protecting her.
“Do you know how long I’ve been searching for you?” The sharp tone cut through her thoughts. “To find you in your brother’s house, laying around… I’ve been worried, Alex!”
“Stranger?” Alex squeaked out, shooting up from her spot. The exo stood behind the couch, leaning over her, gaze narrowed. “How- how did you get in here?” Shit. Alex squirmed at the glowing optics.
“Eclipse said you might be in here and I remember you saying he always leaves the window unlocked.” The Exo Stranger leaned back with her arms crossed. “Are you going to try and explain yourself?”
Alex felt her face burn. It was really a stupid reason, now she felt stupid. “Um, well I-I…” She tried to move the pillow to cover her face, for it to be grabbed away by Elsie. “I, uh, I got jealous.” The hunter glanced down. “I didn’t like it, feeling jealous…” She rubbed her neck, nervously letting out a chuckle. “It happened with that warlock and I just… when I realized…”
“And you just cut off any contact?” Elsie moved to sit by her; Alex sat up, curling her legs to her chest. “I thought something happened to you, Alex. You were acting odd, you drank orange fruit flavored soda. Don’t make me worry like that again, alright? Talk to me next time.”
“I didn’t think drinking orange soda was a worry flag.”
“Miss I won’t even touch mangos, drinking a mango soda?” The Exo Stranger nudged her. “What else is bothering you?” Elsie took Alex’s hand, bringing it to her lap; thumb brushing against her knuckles.
Alex flushed. “I didn’t think I was that easy to read.” The hunter squeezed their hands and guessed her face was still red. This felt more embarrassing than admitting she was jealous. “I know we said to wait until everything was over, but uh, there is something I think I should tell you.”
“I’m listening.”
“I will wait until you’re ready, I promise. It’s uh, how do I explain this…” Alex brought their hands back to her. “My feelings for you grow everyday, it sometimes overwhelms me at times. I want to kiss you, hug you, just be near you. I want to know if you’re okay with me saying it.”
“Say… say what?” She knew deep down what Alex wanted to say. Her cheeks glowed white, Elsie felt her cooling system wasn’t working correctly, feeling warm at Alex’s words.
Alex brought the exo’s hand up, kissing her palm. “I’m in love with you, Elizabeth.”

Me: I'm just gonna do a simple warmup!
the warmup: hahahahahaha bitch you thought
Ok listen, this idea was just so cute and tender which is my weakness and then I had to add a shoulder kiss cuz OBVIOUSLY, and then I've been experimenting more with shading using the lasso tool, so I used this as an opportunity to practice that :>
