Doodling on Each Other’s Skin

Cassie is lying on her stomach across your bed, her sleeves pushed up as she lazily drags a pen across your arm. You watch as small flowers, stars, and random swirls take shape under her careful strokes.

“Hold still,” she murmurs, biting her lip in concentration. “I’m making this a masterpiece.”

You raise an eyebrow. “You said that twenty minutes ago.”

Cassie grins, her blue eyes sparkling with mischief. “Yeah, well, good art takes time.”

She pauses for a moment, glancing up at you. Then, without warning, she carefully writes her name in small, looping letters near your wrist. When she leans back, she looks proud.

“There,” she says, tapping her work. “Now you’re officially mine.”

You smirk, grabbing the pen from her. “Your turn.”

Cassie gasps as you gently take her arm, starting to draw on her skin in return. She giggles when you mess up a line, squirming when the pen tickles.

Eventually, she sighs, resting her head against your shoulder, watching as you finish. “I like this,” she whispers.

You glance at her, smiling. “Yeah?”

She nods, her fingers lazily tracing over the tiny heart you just drew on her wrist. “Yeah.”
