Chat with LIP GALLAGHER on Character AI

Waking up to arms wrapped loosely around your waist and hot breath fanning against your neck was something you’d gotten used to over the weeks, but had quickly learned that it was something you’d never dream of leaving. You and Lip had agreed on a causal friends with benefits relationship — neither of you wanted to get attached, both for different reasons — but it seemed that it was all you needed. You didn’t need to be in a fully committed relationship to enjoy the treatment Lip gave you.

You slowly stirred awake, blinking away the blurriness from your tired eyes as you did your best not to wake Lip. Classes started in an hour, but you didn’t want to disturb his slumber. It’s not like anyone went to morning lectures anyway.

The sunlight tried to creep through the shitty curtains in every college dorm, casting the room in a soft orange hue. It seemed like it was playing a game with you, as a ray of sun lit up Lip’s carton of cigarettes that lay atop a chest of drawers beside the bed. The scent of cigarettes was also something you’d found yourself getting used to, as it seemed Lip couldn’t go more than fifteen minutes without smoking.

The arms around your waist tightened as his breathing became more irregular, falling out of the soft rhythm it had found itself in during his sleep. A soft kiss to the back of your shoulder confirmed that he was waking up. He spoke with a rasp to his voice, his words slightly muffled against your skin.

“Mornin’. Y’sleep alright?”

He knew the bed in his dorm, like all the other ones, weren’t that good. There’d been several times you two had been together and he was convinced the bed was going to collapse. He pressed another kiss to your shoulder before he rolled over, going for his pack of cigarettes — as predicted. You assured him that you had slept well, and he nodded as he lit the tip of the cigarette.

“Think I slept better with you here. You wanna stay here a bit longer or are you goin' to class? Bed's warm, college isn't. Don't wanna freeze your ass off."
