Problems

Chapter Nine

~~~

 

"Don't worry, Taeyeon. You can trust me," Tiffany grinned as Taeyeon sat on the edge of the bathtub. Taeyeon looked at Tiffany, who had the dye in her hand. "Don't you have to like.. bleach my hair?" Taeyeon asked. Tiffany shook her head with a scoff, "No way, I don't want to damage your hair. All I have to do is put this in your hair and let it sit," Tiffany read the back of the dye bottle, "I think," she finished.

 

Taeyeon widened her eyes, "You think?" Tiffany reached up and grabbed the shower head, bringing it lower, "It says I have to rinse your hair first," she explained, ignoring Taeyeon. Tiffany lifted Taeyeon's chin, "Put your head back," Taeyeon did as she was told and she spoke, "I'm going to fall," Tiffany sat down besides Taeyeon and placed her left hand on Taeyeon's lower back, holding her in place, "Don't worry, I got you,"

 

And Taeyeon knew that Tiffany indeed got her.

 

~~~

 

"It looks so cute!" Tiffany exclaimed as she rinsed Taeyeon's hair. Taeyeon's heart thumped, she had just dyed her hair blonde. "This suits you, it definitely suits you," Tiffany smiled, and Taeyeon trusted her. Reaching for a towel, Tiffany helped Taeyeon stand up as she dried the older girl's hair. Tiffany placed her hand over Taeyeon's eyes, "Okay, are you ready?" she asked as she brought Taeyeon in front of the mirror.

 

Placing a hand on Taeyeon's left shoulder, Tiffany opened Taeyeon's eyes and Taeyeon looked at her now blonde hair. She liked it. Tiffany wrapped her arms around Taeyeon's shoulderes from behind, "Doesn't it look cute?" she asked, smiling widely. Taeyeon nodded once, looking at Tiffany smile in the mirror, "See? I knew it would suit you,"

 

They stayed like that for a few minutes, Tiffany hugging Taeyeon from behind, Taeyeon enjoying Tiffany's touch. Then the phone rang and Tiffany unwrapped her arms from Taeyeon, "That must be Jess, hold on," she said to Taeyeon before picking up the phone. Taeyeon couldn't help but feel disappointed when Tiffany let go of her, but she knew she shouldn't feel like that. The blonde girl turned her attention to her blonde hair.

 

She then smiled to herself, Taeyeon did really like it. It made her features seem smoother, more natural, more cute. Her side dimple showed and Taeyeon looked into her own eyes, nearly surprised at how happy she looked. Taeyeon's changed since she's met Tiffany, though Taeyeon wasn't sure if it was a good change or not.

 

~~~

 

"Movie night!" Tiffany exclaimed as she jumped onto the couch, making Taeyeon jump, literally, due to the bouncy couch. The younger one giggled at the surprised Taeyeon and she pressed the start button on the controller, "Horror movie," Tiffany grinned. Taeyeon widened her eyes, "Horror?" she asked, scared.

 

Tiffany scooted her body closer to Taeyeon, "Don't worry, besides, it's all fake anyways," Taeyeon let out a slight frown and moved closer to the red head, making Tiffany smile, casually wrapping an arm around Taeyeon's shoulder, "Aigoo, such a scaredy cat," Tiffany joked. Taeyeon took the moment to simply enjoy being in Tiffany's hold.

 

For some reason, Taeyeon found herself liking how Tiffany held her. Liking the sense of security the younger girl gave off, liking how Tiffany made her feel safe. Liking Tiffany altogether.

 

Taeyeon was lost in her thoughts until Tiffany snapped her out of it, "Aish, this movie's rubbish, skip!" she stated, playing the next movie with her remote. "What is it this time?" Taeyeon questioned. Tiffany took a moment to figure out what movie was playing, "Hmmm.. Romance," The blonde girl made a face, "Romance?" 

 

"Yes, romance. Is there a problem with romance?" Tiffany asked, raising an eyebrow. Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders, she didn't really care about romance all that much. "You're not really a romantic person then, are you?" Tiffany asked. Once again, Taeyeon shrugged and spoke, "There's no reason for me to be romantic,"

 

"You've never had a boyfriend?" The red head questioned. Shaking her head, Taeyeon turned her attention to the couple having a make out session, she grimaced, "Already? The movie just started and they're already each other's faces off," Tiffany rolled her eyes and leaned her head on Taeyeon's head, "It's called kissing, Taeyeon,"

 

Taeyeon had no choice but to lean her head on Tiffany's shoulder, "I know what it's called," Tiffany looked down at Taeyeon, "You make it seem like you're disgusted by it. We all kiss people at least once in our lives," The older girl looked up at Tiffany then back at the movie, where the couple was now doing more than just kissing, "Do all Romance movies start like this?" she groaned, closing her eyes to avoid any more of the scene.

 

Tiffany giggled, "You're so innocent, Taeyeon. You know that you'll do that once in your life," Taeyeon shook her head, "No thank you. I'll be single the rest of my life," Tiffany smiled, "That's kind of impossible," she stated, sitting up straighter as she looked down at Taeyeon.

 

The older girl lifted her head and looked at Tiffany, "How?" she asked. Tiffany smiled before replying.

 

"When you're as beautiful as you are, it's impossible to be single for the rest of your life,"

 

And Taeyeon blushed for the first time in a long time.

 

~~~

 

"Taeyeoniee~" Tiffany called out as she got home from her extra class. Taeyeon replied, "I'm in the bedroom," she called out softly yet loud enough for Tiffany to hear. Tiffany dropped her bags and jumped onto the bed, next to Taeyeon, "That was so much work," Taeyeon looked up from her book, "Did you do good on the test?" Tiffany shrugged and lazily threw her arms and legs around Taeyeon, "I don't know, the professor is revealing scores next class," 

 

Taeyeon, who was trapped in Tiffany's hold, stared at the red head who now had her eyes closed, "Go take a shower so you can go to bed early," Taeyeon suggested. Tiffany nuzzled her face into Taeyeon's neck, "I'm too tired," Taeyeon patted Tiffany's back, "Come on, go shower. Unless you want to stink tomorrow,"

 

"I never stink," Tiffany grinned, pulling Taeyeon closer. Taeyeon scoffed, "Who told you that?" Tiffany ignored the girl and continued to hug Taeyeon. Taeyeon shifted a little so she could feel more comfortable, "You like to hug me, don't you?" she asked, breaking the silence.

 

"You're a huggable person," Tiffany replied into Taeyeon's neck. "I'm a huggable person?" Taeyeon questioned, not really minding the way Tiffany was hugging her, in fact, she enjoyed it. "You also like to question about things a lot," Tiffany smiled. "I do?" Taeyeon replied, making the red head giggle, moving away from Taeyeon's neck.

 

Their faces weren't far, they were indeed close to each other, close enough to feel each other's warm breaths. Tiffany smiled and moved away, "I'm off to shower, go ahead and sleep first, I'll be out in a bit," she said as she grabbed her sleeping clothes, making way to the shower. Taeyeon nodded and watched as Tiffany left. The nonstop beating of her wild heart was concerning the blonde girl.

 

What was it that had made Taeyeon's heart so frantic? Tiffany.

 

~~~

 

"You smell good, Tae," Tiffany mumbled as she buried her face into Taeyeon's shoulder as they watched a movie on the couch. Taeyeon scrunched her nose up a bit, "I try my best to not smell bad," Tiffany chuckled and leaned her head on Taeyeon's shoulder.

 

It had only been a few months, five months, since Taeyeon had moved in, but Tiffany and her were already the bestest of friends. Taeyeon knew that she was going into something that she might regret, something that'll hurt her more than ever if things ever go wrong, but she couldn't help but want to become Tiffany's friend. She wanted to know the younger girl more.

 

She needed to know the younger girl more.

 

~~~

 

Tiffany hugged Taeyeon's arm as they walked through the mall together, staring at things but not buying. The younger girl let her hand ride down Taeyeon's arm until it reached the blonde girl's hand, interlocking fingers. Taeyeon's heart did a little skip but it was short lived when Tiffany dragged her to the pet shop. They walked in, staring at the dogs in cages. 

 

"Cute," Tiffany giggled as she watched a cage full of black baby poodles run over each other. "I've always wanted a dog," Tiffany said as her eyes landed on one certain dog, the lonely one in the corner, watching with innocent eyes as it's brothers and sisters played together. "Can we buy one?" Tiffany asked, turning to Taeyeon.

 

Taeyeon widened her eyes, "Huh? Why are you asking me?" Tiffany rolled her eyes as she diverted her attention to that one particular dog, "Because you live with me," she answered. "Go ahead, but you'll pay for everything," Taeyeon said in a mumbled and Tiffany squealed, "Really?" Taeyeon's eyes brightened up at the happy Tiffany, "Yeah," 

 

Then, Tiffany's face turned into a playfully devious one, "That means I'm using daddy's card for this," she said, rubbing her chin. Taeyeon rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Which one are you going to get?" 

 

~~~

 

"He's a bit slow," Taeyeon commented as she watched the black poodle stumble over nothing with it's short legs. Tiffany sat down, getting close to the puppy, "He reminds me of you," Taeyeon raised an eyebrow, "Did you just call me slow?" she asked in a mock tone of shock as she sat down next to Tiffany. Tiffany let out a small laugh before shaking her head.

 

"He was the calm one who sat in a corner while all of his siblings played around, just like you," Tiffany answered seriously as she gently the dog. Taeyeon looked at the dog that was coming towards her, slowly but surely, "I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing," she said as the dog managed to reach her, nuzzling his face into Taeyeon's leg.

 

"It's a good thing," Tiffany replied, watching as Taeyeon picked up the dog, holding him closer, "He also looks like you, cute and innocent," Taeyeon made a face that wasn't so cute and innocent, getting laughs out of Tiffany. The dog whined and Taeyeon set him down, letting the little one explore some more.

 

"What do you want to name him?" The younger one asked. Taeyeon made a thinking face before answering, "Ginger," 

 

~~~

 

"Oh my gosh, Ginger did you really just do that?" Taeyeon opened in disbelief as she looked at the torn pillow. The dog, who had grown quite a bit, realized that he had done something wrong and lowered his head, his tail in between his legs as whines escaped his mouth. Taeyeon sighed and set her bag down, "You're lucky I came home first, Fany would have freaked out," she spoke, cleaning up the pillow and dumping it out.

 

"Why would I freak out?" Tiffany asked as she walked through the door, textbook in her arms. Taeyeon looked at Ginger and Ginger looked back at Taeyeon, connecting eyes, "Nothing," Taeyeon replied with a smile.

 

"You were talking to Ginger again, weren't you, Taeyeon?" Tiffany accused, raising an eyebrow as she walked to the couch, stripping off of her shirt and leaving herself in a tank top. Taeyeon, who was used to seeing Tiffany like that, sat on the couch, "Maybe I was,"

 

Tiffany plopped herself on the couch, "It's getting so hot outside," she said, fanning herself. Taeyeon grimaced, "I can tell, you're sweating," she stated, grabbing a tissue before wiping Tiffany's sweat, causing Tiffany to freeze momentarily at the sweet gesture. Taeyeon threw the tissue on the table, "Ew, what did you do? Run a marathon?"

 

The red head unfroze at the sound of Taeyeon's voice and she smiled a bit, "It was a long walk," Taeyeon extended her legs onto Tiffany's lap, "Why didn't you just take your car?" Tiffany pushed Taeyeon's legs off of her, "That's so much work," 

 

"And walking isn't?" Taeyeon retorted as Ginger jumped onto her lap, her face. Taeyeon's face contorted in disgust, "Dog breath," Tiffany raised an eyebrow, grabbing a tissue and wiping Taeyeon's face, getting rid of the dog saliva, "That's disgusting," Tiffany comment, wiping the last bit off.

 

Taeyeon grinned, something that was common these days. Smiling was common these days. But only when she was with Tiffany did she smile. Only with Tiffany did she laugh. Ginger is also an addition to that.

 

People at her university noticed her change in attitude. Though when Taeyeon was alone, she'd go back to the same cold person everyone knew her as. But, whenever she was with Tiffany, laughter for days, I tell you.

 

And, watching from a far, her family was happy that Taeyeon was starting to change


It might be quite a while until I update again, I hope this satisfies your need for fluff <3
