Kaylor one shots

"Did you really mean it?" Taylor asked lightly, looking up at Karlie.
"What? Did I really mean what?" Karlie asked, confusion laced in her voice.
"When you said you were in love with me." Taylor said, her voice even quieter than before.
"Oh."
~~~~~~~~ The day before ~~~~~~~
Karlie waited, though not more than thirty seconds, for Taylor to open the door. She would've just walked in but her hands were full.
"Hey Kar." Taylor said, opening the door for her best friend.
"Hi girly. I come bearing gifts." She laughed, holding up the two bags in her hands, each holding bottles of alcohol.
"Yay. You're the best you know that?" Taylor smiled at Karlie.
"I mean I don't like to brag." Karlie joked, returning a similar smile.
"Oh jeez." Taylor rolled her eyes, taking one bag from the younger girl.
"No I'm kidding I'm kidding, but I mean what are friends for if not providing the alcohol?" Karlie replied as they set the bags down.
"Emergency hang outs where you know I'm going to complain about things even though I have an amazing life and I get to do the things I love and people pay me for it." Taylor explained, feeling guilty for wanting to complain.
"Hey, we all need to complain sometimes." Karlie reassured the girl, knowing she tried not to, something Karlie really admired about her.
"Thanks." Taylor said, grabbing glasses and shot glasses.
"No problemo Tay, so are we starting we shots?" Karlie asked, pulling out a bag of vodka.
"Maybe a few then we can move to calmer." Taylor agreed, pouring six shots.
"Three then wine?" Karlie asked, getting wine out as well.
"Sounds good to me." With that, they clinked shot glasses and began.
One shot in,
"I'm just so tired of being so worried about who I date and shit, I know Tree is just doing her job but PR is so pushy I hate it."
"I know, I wish you didn't have to worry about any of it, it's none of their business."
Two shots down,
"I just I don't want to date right now but I have to because it's one thing to enjoy being single but if I'm single too long I look lonely or something stupid like that but what if I'm not lonely?? What if I'm perfectly happy with the people I have?"
"You shouldn't have to be attached to a guy if you don't want to. It's dumb that people care if you're dating or not."
Three shots and done,
"And even when I do date it's never good enough. I can't date Harry because I'm using him I can't date Calvin cause they don't like him I can't date anyone because nobody approves as if I'm not dating to appease other people anyway."
"They're so picky, they don't like anything you do, they're just mean. It's not fair babe I know."
Upon realizing they had finished the pre-poured shots Karlie poured both girls glasses of wine.
Half a glass finished,
"When I do find someone I want to date I can't because they won't look good. Like they don't fit in with my image. It feels like nobody does."
"It's not fair. It should be your choice. Screw image."
One glass down,
The first tear escaped Taylor's eye as Karlie refilled her glass, choosing not to fill her own, wanting to save some sobriety, she continued to sip slowly on her own.
"I can't even date. Like I can't go on three dates and it not work out. Then I'm a whore and I can't keep a man or some crap. I can't just not feel a connection. I have to be in love with the guy and he always breaks up with me because I'm too needy. What is that? I'm not that needy. And that's when I'm actually dating for dating' sake. Not just to calm the Sharks."
Karlie was rubbing Taylor's back at this point.
"I know girly. They just make up anything they don't know. They can't figure out why anyone would ever break up with you unless you're needy so they just assume. It's cruel."
One and half glasses in,
"Like why can't I just kiss whoever I want? You know I've only ever had one one night stand? It was so risky they told me to try to never do it again because I can't want to just have sex, that would be slutty. I don't even want one night stands. I want to be able to fall in love by myself. Without image problems. Without everyone's dumb opinions."
"I know. It's not slutty to want sex. Or to want to date. They just need to find something to pick on you for and its not fair. It's practically bullying."
Two glasses down,
"Every kiss has to mean something and it has to be with some successful and traditionally attractive dude who's not too bad for my image. I'm tired of dating the same type of guy. I wish I could just kiss people sometimes or maybe it will mean something, I just want to make that decision for myself."
"I know. The same guy is no fun, exploring should be your right."
Karlie found herself trying to be careful with her words. She found herself wanting to offer Taylor a kiss. A meaningful kiss but a kiss nonetheless.
Two and a half,
Taylor laid down at this point,
"Why couldn't I break up with Calvin without everyone telling me I was pressuring him into marriage. I didn't mention marriage once. I didn't want to fucking marry him. I wanted to kiss people. Other people. I wanted to experiment. I just wanted to make my own romantic decisions. So I did. Tree chewed me out for it too. But I didn't even care."
"I know I know. I don't know why they assume you wanted to marry him. You dated for a little over a year, most people wait a little longer than that, they're so presumptive."
Taylor was too tired at this point to continue drinking, it was after all two in the morning.
"I just want to kiss someone. Not that same guy. I want to fall in love. I want to not care about them."
"I know you do, you deserve it."
"Yeah. I think I do, but maybe not maybe since I'm successful I don't deserve to fall in love."
"You do deserve it Tay. You deserve to have someone fall in love with with every little part of you." Karlie had a loving smile settled on her face, though it was mixed with concern.
"If only." Taylor laughed, her eyes beginning to flutter.
"Yeah." Karlie didn't say much anymore, wanting Taylor to fall asleep.
A few minutes later she knew Taylor was out so she picked her up, one arm under her knees and the other under her arms. She carried her to her bed and covered her with her blanket.
Placing a gentle kiss on Taylor's face, she whispered,
"I'm in love with every little part of you."
With that, she headed to the spare room and after much tossing and turning, she fell asleep.
"Good morning sleepyhead." Karlie greeted Taylor as she walked into the blonde's room to find her holding her head and groaning.
"Morning. Oh thank you so much." Taylor said, reaching for the water and painkillers she saw in Karlie's hands.
"I'd be a bad friend if I didn't. There's breakfast too." Karlie smiled.
"You really are the best."
"I try."
Taylor eventually got up and after brushing her teeth headed to the food Karlie mentioned.
The girls sat mostly in silence as they ate, Karlie noticing Taylor seemed lost in thought.
Suddenly Taylor's eyebrows furrowed and a mix of emotions washed across her face. Mostly what looked like confusion, hope and maybe disbelief.
"What is it Tay?" Karlie asked, confused and concerned.
"Did you really mean it?" Taylor asked lightly, looking up at Karlie.
"What? Did I really mean what?" Karlie asked, confusion laced in her voice.
"When you said you were in love with me." Taylor said, her voice even quieter than before.
"Oh." Was all Karlie got out at first. She definitely meant it but she couldn't tell if Taylor wanted her to mean it. She knew she should just say it though.
"I did." She said definitively.
Taylor thought hard for a minute before quickly moving in and kissing Karlie.
The taller girl was shocked but quickly and eagerly reciprocated. The kiss was loving and passionate. Taylor quickly ran her tongue against Karlie's lower lip, asking for an invitation. The two girls just kissed, hands on each other's faces as they fell into each other.
"Let's fall in love for ourselves. No images."
----------------------------------------------
Ohhh longish and not quite so fluffy. I wanted to see what would happen if drunk Taylor remembered Karlie's admittance of love so here it is.
