DARIUS

Holy shit…That wasn’t a dream.

I blink awake and find Ziggy, splayed across my body and her messy hair tickling my nose.

I take stock of our positions. I’m sweaty. She’s sweaty. Our skin is sticking together. It’s like, at some point overnight, fire melted us into one. Every part of my body aches from passing out on this lumpy couch or mattress or whatever it is.

But despite that, I have no desire to move a muscle, because having Ziggy in my arms is so goddamn perfect. It’s the only thing I need.

I lay here, content with burning to death as I relive the events of last night.

When I dove into her moving bus, I never had the intention of taking things this far. But after one hot kiss, I lost all my senses, and for once in my too-serious life, I was so grateful to just let go. To flow with the moment. To give in to what I really wanted.

Ziggy. She’s what I wanted last night. She’s all I need these days.

More and more, I’ve been asking myself, what is this thing she makes me feel? I’m starting to think it’s love. I think I’m in love with her. That feels like the appropriate label for it.

And now that I’m holding her in my arms, I’m not sure I ever want to let go.

Y’know what? It’s decided. I’m not letting her go. My brain is already trying to come up with a scheme to keep her here in my arms forever and ever.

But before I can devise a plan, my belly growls. Loud. It’s not like a little growl. More like a hungry, feral lion.

It’s so loud that Ziggy startles, squeaks, and then falls onto the hard floor with a thud.

“Holy shit. Are you—?” My arms dart out to grab at Ziggy, but then I sit up too fast and smack my head on the flimsy shelf above the couch.

Biodegradable bowls and containers fall everywhere, raining down around me and clattering to the floor. I stretch my legs out, smack my shin on a table leg, and let out a groan.

Everything is so fucking tiny in here. I’m used to waking up in my spacious house across the yard. Not this tin can on wheels.

But this tin can has better company than my house.

My eyes fall back to my naked Ziggy, who’s sitting on the floor, blinking in confusion, and looking around.

Despite the mess of empty containers and endless loose lids, I manage to bend down and scoop her up into my arms.

“Are you okay?”

Ziggy rubs her naked butt, and I can’t fight the urge to push her hand away and rub it myself.

She smiles softly, still looking a little disoriented. “Yeah. I’m fine. Happens at least once a week.”

My stomach grumbles again.

Ziggy gazes up at me with amusement in her eyes. “Hungry?”

“Yes,” I admit with an embarrassed grin. “Sorry my belly woke you up.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

She hops out of my arms, an adorable ball of energy, like she didn’t just fall out of bed and crack her butt on the floor.
