Is? ...Has been? Whatever, she would usually be described as a delinquent\n\n\\\u003eTall, Tough, and with fur dye tattoos covering her muscular arms\n\n\\\u003eHer short hair, dyed neon blue, and usually wearing a leather biker jacket; she looked like she was robbing you\n\n\\\u003eIn fact a few cops had stopped you both in the streets on date nights, asking you if everything was ok.\n\n\\\u003eYou always wrapped one arm around Aisha's waist and pulled her close, earning a surprised yelp from her when that happened\n\n\\\u003eThat little squeak is what made the cops believe you when you said it was a date between the two of you.\n\n\\\u003eHer embarrassed look is what convinced them, and her trying to hide behind you really sold it\n\n\\\u003eShe was, and still is embarrassed about being seen as soft and loving\n\n\\\u003eHaving grown up in a large family of criminals, she had to be tough\n\n\\\u003eHer father has been in prison for 15 years, her older brother was in jail for robbery, and her younger siblings all had various crimes marking their records\n\n\\\u003eBut Aisha didn't.\n\n\\\u003eMainly because of you\n\n\\\u003eYou told her that if she needed money, you would help her so she didn't have to rob people or burgle or whatever\n\n\\\u003eShe deserved better, and you were determined to help her realize it\n\n\\\u003eBut all that falls to the wayside as you step out of the sushi restaurant, your arm locked around her muscular arm\n\n\\\u003e\"Where to now Babe?\" you ask happily, looking up at her.\n\n\\\u003eThe two of you had a classic date, a Movie at the theaters and dinner.\n\n\\\u003eShe bites her lower lip and looks to the side concerned at what she has to say\n\n\\\u003eYou already know it's because of something with her family\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh...Can we go to your place Anon? I think one of my brothers has a girlfriend over or something\" she says, not looking you in the eyes.\n\n\\\u003eA weak excuse, but not one you were going to argue with\n\n\\\u003e\"Ok Love, Lets go\" you say with a smile\n\n\\\u003eYou hand interlocked with her padded fingers, you lead her back to her motorcycle.\n\n\\\u003eShe learned to ride early on, and buying a car is expensive, so usually she gave you rides everywhere\n\n\\\u003eThe confused looks from people at your college were priceless she dropped you off and gave you a goodbye kiss\n\n\\\u003eA muscular paw squeezes your butt as you grab your helmet, making you jump in surprise\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey!\" you call out in anger as you look to Aisha, who giggles\n\n\\\u003e\"Sorry sorry! You're just SO cute!\" she says with a grin, buckling her own helmet over her dyed hair\n\n\\\u003eWith a quick sweep of her leg, she's on her bike and patting the seat behind her\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on Anon\" she cooes softly, the way she speaks would surprise anyone else, the soft voice coming from such a tough looking woman is startling at best\n\n\\\u003eQuickly you swing a leg over the bike and wrap your arms around her waist, earning a satisfied “mmm\" from her\n\n\\\u003eYou know that it is only for you to hear, as she reves up her bike and sets off to your apartment\n\n\\\u003eThe world blurs by as you hug her close\n\n\\\u003eIn times like this, when there was nothing but the sound of her bike, you and her\n\n\\\u003eYou were truly reminded of how close you were to her\n\n\\\u003eYea, you both looked like polar opposites, but you knew everything about her, her loses and fears\n\n\\\u003eBut that didn't matter, it never did\n\n\\\u003eEven now as your arms were wrapped around Aisha's thicc waist, you didn't think about your differences\n\n\\\u003eRather you thought about everything you had in common\n\n\\\u003eBoth of you had parents who didn't care\n\n\\\u003eSure, it was pure coincidence that you grew up with parents who would rather get high\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eAnd she grew up with parents who would rather go rob someone over raising thier children\n\n\\\u003eSomehow it brought you both closer together\n\n\\\u003eMaybe it's because when you have no one else rooting for you, all you need is one other person rooting you on\n\n\\\u003eFor you that other person just happened to be her, and you were sure for her, you were that other person\n\n\\\u003eAnd in the end, you didn't need anyone else; you were self-sufficient, but having Aisha's approval made every accomplishment that much sweeter.\n\n\\\u003eWhen she told you of every small thing,\u0026nbsp; her getting accepted into the local trade school; her graduating high school as the first one in her family... you threw a small party consisting of just you and her.\n\n\\\u003eHer bike roars as she splits the lanes of traffic, zooming in-between the cars at a standstill.\n\n\\\u003eYour state never did make it illegal, so she would take advantage of it, regardless of how you said it terrified you.\n\n\\\u003eSome things you just could never change, and her veering through traffic was one of them.\n\n\\\u003eBut if that was it, just her being defiant about lane splitting, that was one you were willing to concede.\n\n\\\u003eThe highway is packed because of nothing, just people being right assholes and slowing down for literally nothing.\n\n\\\u003eIt used to annoy you, getting stuck in traffic for some assholes who were so engrossed watching a cop pull over some dumb idiot who sped.\n\n\\\u003eThose things didn't bother you anymore, Aisha liked to drive, and you didn't mind being a passenger to this wild ride.\n\n\\\u003eYou hold her close as the world zips by in a roaring flurry, earning satisfied high pitched “A Hummmm\" noises from Aisha\n\n\\\u003eIf you didn't have your head pressed against her back you would miss those small noises, but you were so glad you didn't.\n\n\\\u003eHearing her enjoyment from it all was the best drug you could ever have.\n\n\\\u003eYou're so lost in thought, mesmerized by Aisha's firm body and the sounds she makes, that you don't even realized that you're at your apartment.\n\n\\\u003eNuzzles, tight hugs, and happy whimpers from Aisha tell you this night isn't one of sex, but one of quiet snuggles.\n\n\\\u003eOverflowing love between two people who deserved it.\n\n\\\u003eIt was perfect as you unlocked your apartment door and got pulled softly by Aisha to your bedroom.\n\n\\\u003eNo words are needed as you bother strip happily.\n\n\\\u003eHer to just a pair of stretched panties, and you to a pair of loose boxers.\n\n\\\u003eYou had gotten an extra-long bed to accommodate her height a while ago, even though she hated that you spent money on her.\n\n\\\u003eShe always did hate when you bought things for her sake, even now, after so many months into your relationship.\n\n\\\u003emonths? Years? Did it matter?\n\n\\\u003eShe is your best friend and you don't mind spending a bit of money for her comfort.\n\n\\\u003eBoth of you slip into your bed in your preferred sleeping positions; you on your back and her cuddled up to your side\n\n\\\u003ePerfect for you to wrap one arm around her waist and pull her close.\n\n\\\u003e\"I love you Anon\" Aisha whispers happily, snuggling her head into your chest.\n\n\\\u003e\"I love you too Aisha\" you murmur, half asleep already.\n\n\\\u003eIt had been a long day; although it had been wonderful to spend with Aisha, a day on your feet all day was exhausting\n\n\\\u003eAisha's large head nuzzles into your chest, pulling the blankets into a small pillow between her head and your bony ribs\n\n\\\u003e\"Thank you for such a wonderful day\" she murmurs happily, her large ears twitching and tickling your chin.\n\n\\\u003eYou rub your hand up and down her back in reassurance\n\n\\\u003e\"I had such a good time with you babe\" you say with the aloofness only fatigue can bring.\n\n\\\u003eA happy, \"Ahum\" is the only answer you get from her and she pulls you closer to her.\n\n\\\u003eYou hear rain start to splatter against your windows and the two of you drift off to sleep together\n\n\\\u003eWeight, or was it pressure?\n\n\\\u003eSomething pressing down on your chest and limbs.\n\n\\\u003eNot pressing like Aisha's comforting weight on you.\n\n\\\u003eNo, this was all encompassing.\n\n\\\u003eYou struggle against it and feel your body collapse upon itself, not listening to your commands to move.\n\n\\\u003eNothing.\n\n\\\u003eNo response from your body at all.\n\n\\\u003eYou struggle against it, trying hard to move, only to have the feeling change\n\n\\\u003eIt was no longer crushing weight, but dozens of spectral hands pulling you downwards into the bed.\n\n\\\u003eThe only thing you can control is your eyes as you search around for answers as to what is tormenting you.\n\n\\\u003eThey rest, at long last, on your semi open closet door.\n\n\\\u003eDid you leave it open? Or did Aisha?\n\n\\\u003eDoesn't matter now as a pair of blood red glowing eyes stare at you, with dozens of ghastly hands spewing forth from the closet opening.\n\n\\\u003eAll you can do is whimper softly, as you feel the hands pulling you towards the closet.\n\n\\\u003eYour fearful whimpers cause a soft stirring\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eHow could you forget Aisha? Probably because the crushing weight from these hands made the weight from her head unnoticeable\n\n\\\u003e\"A-anon?\" she whispers looking at you, her blue eyes glinting in the dark.\n\n\\\u003eYou can't answer, looking your eyes onto hers in a panic, trying to ignore the red eyes from the closet.\n\n\\\u003e\"A-anon!? Are you ok?! She cries sitting up quickly, looking over your body for any physical issues.\n\n\\\u003eYou can't move, you can't answer, and all you can do is blink like an idiot.\n\n\\\u003eIt's been a long time since you suffered from sleep paralysis.\n\n\\\u003eYour body is still asleep but your mind isn't.\n\n\\\u003eOk... Stay calm.\n\n\\\u003eBlink at her, get her attention.\n\n\\\u003eYou blink your eyes furiously at her, until she looks at them.\n\n\\\u003e\"Why are you?... Can't you...\" she murmurs with a slight frown.\n\n\\\u003eCome on, you had talked to her about this before\n\n\\\u003e\"That thing, night frozenness or something!\" she says in realization, looking into your eyes with unwavering determination.\n\n\\\u003eHer muscular frame wraps around you, seeming to push aside the specters hands\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh... I got you love, it's ok, I got you\" she whispers, nuzzling your head into the crook of her neck\n\n\\\u003e\"It's ok...it's ok\" she reassures you softly\n\n\\\u003eYou focus on her instead of the hundreds of shadow hands trying to get to you.\n\n\\\u003eThey all seem to be repelled by the soft caress of you love, which was a welcome surprise.\n\n\\\u003eClosing your eyes and ignoring everything besides Aisha, you stay awake and unable to move.\n\n\\\u003eAisha's whispers turn to soft snores as she keeps you pressed to her.\n\n\\\u003eYou don't even realize you've fallen asleep, until you feel your eyes snap open to sunlight streaming through the window.\n\n\\\u003eThe smell off coffee and bacon fills the air as you wander out of the bedroom and find Aisha in the kitchen, wearing short shorts and an apron.\n\n\\\u003eHer ears swivel towards you as you walk up behind her.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey love\" you say, wrapping your arms around her waist.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey baby, you ok?\" she says happily as she tends to the bacon.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mhm, I love you\" you say pushing the side of your face into the soft fur of her back.\n\n\\\u003eshe gives a short snicker and Smiles happily.\n\n\\\u003e\"Love you too\""}
