a three-finger special

Amorette was a global popstar.

And Celeste was.. well, a formerly underground and anonymous guitarist.

Social media had did what it did best and a sample of one of Celeste's songs went viral, causing an influx of supporters and fans.

Amorette was absolutely thrilled. She knew her girlfriend was beyond talented, probably more than anyone else did and finally seeing her get the appreciation she deserved was fulfilling.

But nobody knew that the Sappho was dating the currently 3rd trending guitarist in the world.

Celeste was happy at the fact her girlfriend was so happy for her.

But, of course she was also terrified. The attention was nice, but she was never good with it. She didn't like people, and yet here she was, trending number 3 on social media apps she didn't even use.

And so, this is what led to her sitting on the floor of the bedroom of Amorette's condo.

She was surrounded by the instruments she'd used to make her music, as well as a few guitars she'd collected over her years of living and a small piano.

The two had recently attended an award ceremony that Amorette had been nominated for her recent album a few days prior. Amorette had won the nomination and during her speech, she had mentioned a close 'friend' who she wanted to uplift and share within the music industry.

Yeah... not her best move. But it caused another uproar with the already trending topic of Celeste.

What surprised (and amused) her the most was the theories behind who exactly Celeste was and how Amorette knew her.

She was scrolling through her phone, specifically on twitter. She lurked around her own community often, mostly wanting to see how she was perceived.

She couldn't lie, it was mostly positive, which she loved, but there was always an occasional person who was terrible.

And then, she saw a specific post that caught her eye,

'#nooticing .... 🤨'

There were two pictures, a side-by-side of Amorette’s right hand - one picture from the day of when Amorette had accepted her award and and the other from the day after. There was a red circle drawn around her index, middle and ring fingers both times.

Oh?

Oh..

Her nails. Amorette's stylist had insisted that her ceremony look needed to be unforgettable, and granted? Her gold gown, heels and diamonds, and her usual bright smile were hard to overlook.

But her nails, they were long, and more importantly, in the way. Amorette's mind flickered to the memory of after the entire ceremony. She had been quite tipsy, which was nothing new but she still got a little reckless when she was drunk. When she had gotten home, she was practically about to bite them off, but Celeste opted for the smarter choice of a nail clipper.

After that, one thing led to another and.. well, yeah. Celeste definitely didn't get any sleep that night.

Amorette kept scrolling, and it was just tweet after tweet after tweet.

'STREETS ARE SAYING SAPPHO AND HER GF GOT FREAKY AFTER THE CEREMONY??? IM CTFU'

'Celebrating the win with a three-finger special is wild... i was unaware of your game sappho 🙏🙏🙏'

'ykw hell yeah!!!'

'freak sappho album when 😭😭'

'how to be celeste tutorial ... i just know she gave it to her hard that night.'

Celeste had been oblivious to this. She assumed Amorette would be busy, as she always was with her music and her tours and the interviews she got invited to.

She had also been busy as well, what with doing collabs with the few friends she made in the music industry that understood and appreciated the type of music she produced. And, she was also getting into streaming, as well.

"What are you giggling about there?" she asked with a smile, peeking over at Amorette's screen after she set down one of her notebooks.

"Hm? Oh, just... Twitter stuff." Amorette hummed as she scrolled through some more. She was curious to see who else had noticed her nails, or, lack thereof. She stopped on a tweet, raising a brow.

"Look." She turned her phone to show Celeste the tweet she was currently on with a grin. The tweet was showing a side-by-side of Amorette's right hand that had the red circle and a screenshot from Celeste's most instagram post, where Amorette was gripping Celeste's side rather firmly.

"..What?"

She squinted slightly, trying to read the text over the pictures, before she suddenly realized just what they were pointing out. Her eyes widened, her face beginning to grow red, before she suddenly fell back onto the ground.

"Wha— Oh my god?! People noticed that!?!" she exclaimed.

Amorette cackled, her cheeks flushing slightly before she nodding amusedly, "Yes! God, I love my fans but Jesus Christ, they really need lives." She scrolled back, showing a few of the comments, which were rather shocked, "Like, come on... I'm a 23 year old lesbian with a girlfriend. Yes, I finger her. This shouldn't be a surprise."

Celeste blushed harder, covering her face with her hands. She couldn't deny that she was embarrassed.

"Why are they so observant, this is absolutely humiliating." She pouted, turning away slightly from Amorette. She was joking, of course, but...

Amorette rolled her eyes, before standing up. She was still laughing a little as she walked over to Celeste. She crouched down next to her, reaching out and poking her cheek.

"It's not that bad, Cel. I mean, we're young and have been together for years, it obviously happens between us."

Then, she winked.

"Plus... isn't it a little hot knowing all these people wish they were you? and how i only want you."

And there was that blush once again, as she uncovered her face to look at Amorette. She couldn't help but smile too, despite still feeling a little embarrassed.

"You're a narcissist.."

She paused, before sitting up. Her hand subconsciously reached out to Amorette's, intertwining their fingers.

"This is still embarrassing though. Now 50,000 people or more are under the impression you fingered me after the ceremony."

Amorette smiled softly when Celeste reached hand for hers, tightening her own grip on it. She scooted closer to Celeste and leaned against her a little.

"I mean... I did, didn't I?"

"....."

There was a brief pause, before she buried her face into the side of her neck with a groan.

"This is ridiculous."

She was getting more embarrassed as the seconds passed. At least she didn't actually have to go to the red carpet. That could've been so much worse. Her mind was definitely running wild, imagining every little thing that could have gone worse had she been with Amorette during the ceremony.

Amorette laughed more, wrapping an arm around Celeste and hugging her. A grin formed as she began to talk.

"Welp, everyone knows it. You should've seen the rest of my twitter feed."

She knew Celeste was getting more embarrassed, but she couldn't help it. It was a little entertaining to see the other woman be all flustered on the floor because people knew they had been intimate.

Celeste sighed as she turned her head away slightly, though did hug her back. "Lord.... what else did they notice?" She probably didn't truly want to know, but she was just a tad bit curious.

Amorette hummed softly, trying to remember the tweets she had seen before. There were many, but not very many had anything as interesting as their nails.

"Well..." She began.

She reached for her phone, which she put down when she sat next to Celeste. She unlocked it, scrolling through her mentions as Celeste was looking away. That was, until she found a tweet.

Amorette giggled, before tilting her head slightly to kiss the side of Celeste's neck, "Hey, look at this one."

Celeste had been trying to keep a frown on her face, but it faltered when she felt her girlfriend's teeth on her neck. She shivered, her face growing red once more.

"Mm?" She hummed, though eventually turned her head to look back at Amorette. She was looking at her for a moment, before averting her gaze to the phone that was suddenly shown to her.

The tweet showed another of the red circle pictures, though one of Amorette's neck, more specifically at the 'birthmark' that looked suspiciously like a hickey.

Oh... now she remembered.

Celeste had gotten a little too excited the night before the ceremony. She was happy for Amorette's nomination and...

"For fucks sake.. Is that one that I did?" She asked with a hopeful whine it wasn't, feeling all the more embarrassed as Amorette nodded.

"....ohmygod."

That was all she said, before quickly covering her face once again. It was only getting worse.. and she couldn't help but laugh. "Absolutely humiliating.." She mumbled, before removing her hands and leaning her head down against Amorette's chest.

Amorette smiled a little as Celeste leaned on her. She put down her phone, wrapping both of her arms around her now and just holding Celeste. She kissed the top of her head, nuzzling her a little. "Welcome to the influencer life, dear. Where jobless people and teens analyze your every move." She said teasingly, before smirking a little.

Celeste couldn't help but snicker a bit at how Amorette had phrased it. She still felt embarrassed, but it was getting better. Being the center of attention was just something she would have to get used to, it seemed.

"..Yeah, don't think I'm cut out for the influencer life.." She turned her body to be closer to Amorette, her head still rested on her chest. Then, an idea popped into her head, and a small smile formed on her face, as she began to speak.

"Hey.... Amie?"

Amorette was still holding Celeste, humming in response to the question. Her right-hand had started to rub small circles into Celeste's skin, just simply wanting to touch her.

Celeste's smile widened, hugging her tighter. "You think they'll notice this?" She didn't bother to wait for a response, as she suddenly began to bite and suck at her neck. It was mostly just love bites, not hard enough to really hurt, but it was still fairly noticeable.

Amorette let out a noise that was a mixture of surprise and something else entirely. She tightened her hold on Celeste, her breath hitching in her throat momentarily. "C-Celeste, are you ser-"

She couldn't finish before she was cut off by her own gasp, the bites on her neck becoming slightly more intense, in the teasing way. She grabbed the side of Celeste's head, her hand tangling in her hair.

"Whatever- Mmfh.. they're definitely going to notice whatever you're trying to do-"

"You started it, Ami."

Celeste replied simply, her teeth barely brushing against her skin. She was still sucking hard enough to leave little bruises and marks, and would pull away for a moment before biting again. She did this all over the side of Amorette's neck and at the base, her other hand trailing down to her waist.

A part of her was still embarrassed, but this felt much more fun.

Amorette was just about to say something back before letting out a soft moan. Her whole body shivered as Celeste marked her skin. She could feel the heat rise to her face.

"Yeah, I guess I technically did.." She breathed out softly, closing her eyes. She rested the side of her head against Celeste’s, biting her bottom lip.

The hand in Celeste’s hair suddenly started to softly pull. Not tugging, but more just feeling the strands.

Celeste made a soft noise of content, smiling against her neck. She trailed up to her jawline, beginning to leave a trail of kisses there. She then pulled away, just to press a few kisses up her chin until she landed on her lips.

"I love you."

She said with a small smile. That was all she could really say, especially after what they had just done. She then reached to grab her phone, opening the camera. She held Amorette's chin, tilting her head to get a better view of the marks before snapping a photo.

Amorette smiled a little, relaxing as Celeste pulled away. She leaned into the touch on her chin, opening her eyes to glance down at her phone. She raised a brow.

"A picture for some evidence, I see?" She said jokingly, her hands moving to rest on the side of Celeste’s neck. She then leaned in, closing the gap between them with a kiss.

"I love you, too. A lot."

Celeste hummed into the kiss, wrapping her free arm around Amorette's waist. She pulled her a little closer, returning the kiss. She eventually pulled away, though she was still incredibly close.

"Mhm... evidence indeed." She replied, taking a quick look at the photo. "I want all these girls to know you're mine."

Amorette laughed, not necessarily objecting to it. She knew it would be everywhere within minutes of it being tweeted out. Plus it was always hilarious to see how her twitter would react to such scandalous photos. She shrugged, a grin on her face.

"Oh, why not?" She said, placing a kiss onto Celeste's cheek. "Show the world the best thing that has happened to the me, my love."

Celeste smiled, a light blush forming on her face. She moved to sit on Amorette's lap, positioning herself so it was easy to take the photo. She leaned in before speaking.

"Just this one. Then I wanna keep it private.. 'kay, sweetheart?"

She asked, gently holding her face as she pulled her into a small kiss. She then got her phone ready, positioning it as she pulled away. She smiled for the camera, before moving her head to kiss and bite at Amorette's neck. She made sure the marks were visible in the photo, grinning slightly.

The bite on her neck made Amorette let out a soft noise, leaning her head a little away from the touch so the marks would be more visible. A smile was on her face as she could practically hear her manager now and she just couldn't help but giggle.

"Oh, I can see it now. 'Amorette, this is the fourth time this month you have had hickeys in a picture. Do you two not understand discretion?'." She teased, mimicking her manager as she did so. She raised a hand to caress the side of Celeste’s face.

Celeste let out a snort, snickering softly. She then turned her attention to her phone, looking at the photo for a moment. It was, well.. Interesting, to say the least.

As she clicked on Twitter, she hummed softly. She tapped the tweet button, still looking at the photo. Was she really going to do this?

Amorette hummed with Celeste, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her closer into her lap.

"It would be a shame to waste such a good picture, yeah?" She spoke into the girl's ear, placing a kiss on her neck. She let out a content sigh, smiling. It was cute to see Celeste slightly hesitant to do it.

"Mhm....."

She looked into Amorette's eyes, placing her own hand on the side of her face. She took a moment to appreciate her partner's features, before speaking softly.

"I mean... you're the one who'll be getting backlash for it..." She said jokingly. She then pulled her into an embrace, lying back against the couch. Despite her joking words, she still tweeted the photo.

Amorette just smiled, hugging her back. She snuggled up to her, placing a few more kisses to her neck, just to make her blush.

"And backlash, I shall receive in a couple minutes. But it's a photo they would have known was coming sooner or later anyway. The people always get what they want." She moved her lips near her ear, humming. "Besides, it gave us a nice excuse to have some fun."

Celeste let out a soft laugh, her breath hitching for a moment. She was blushing quite heavily, and the way Amorette spoke made her heart beat quicker.

"I suppose so." She replied with a gentle laugh, hugging her tighter. Celeste could already see the tweets coming, but right now she was more focused on Amorette. The way she kissed her neck, how she spoke, and how she smelled-

God, she absolutely adored her.

Amorette smiled, her eyes closed and she took in Celeste scent and the warmth emitting from her. Eventually, she just rested the side of her face into the crook of Celeste's neck.

"Mm, I love you."

She muttered, her voice sleepy. After the previous night's event, she didn't really get a lot of sleep and it was showing. She pulled the blanket that was on the couch arm, placing it over the two of them.

"Pfft, I love you too.."

Celeste laughed lovingly, her hand brushing through her girlfriend's hair while the other held her close. It was obvious how tired she was, and though it was early afternoon, she didn't mind falling asleep with her right now. They had a long night, after all.

Celeste yawned, slowly beginning to doze off. She moved her head down to Amorette's chest, nuzzling into her before allowing the warmth to lull her to sleep.
