Halloween

Thought I'd do a short fic about Emaya holidays, starting with the nearest one (to us Americans anyway), Halloween!

Maya and Emily were sitting in the courtyard of the Rosewood High, Maya working on a song and Emily finishing up her lunch. Emily leaned against the wall and had her legs draped over Maya's lap.

"So what are you doing tomorrow night?" Emily asked, playing with the fingers on her girlfriend's free hand. "Because I was thinking we could have a Halloween movie marathon. Candy, cuddling... make out session?" Maya smirked at the taller girl, "As much as I would love that, I can't. My band is playing at Noel Kahn's Halloween party," she said, kissing Emily's hand and smiled apologetically.

"Do you... do you know Noel?" Emily asked. "We used to have a... a very green relationship," Maya said, her smile dropping a bit. "But not anymore." Emily sighed at her girlfriend, "You didn't have to stop smoking for me Maya, it doesn't bother me that much," "But it does bother you," Maya smiled and kissed Emily's hand again softly just as the bell sounded, signalling the end of lunch.

Emily stood and pulled Maya up with her by the hand, knowing the girl didn't have much of a sense of urgency when it came to getting to class on time. Maya held on to Emily's hand as they exited the courtyard. "I really wish I could spend Halloween with you babe, but I gotta pay the bills y'know?" Maya said, making Emily laugh. "What bills?" she asked, "Music bills! I found a great deal on that guitar," Maya replied. "That white one you've been drooling over?" Emily recalled, remembering how her girlfriend stared at her laptop, mouth agape, for 8 minutes straight. And yes, she counted.

"It's beautiful, okay?" Maya said as the pair came to a stop outside of her class. Emily leaned down and kissed the shorter girl on the lips. "I'll see you last period okay?" Emily said, pulling back. Maya hummed in agreement and kissed Emily again, reveling in the feeling she got whenever their lips touched.

Way too soon in Maya's opinion, Emily pulled away again. "Okay, I can't focus in class if I'm thinking about kissing you." Maya pouted, "I seem to do just fine." "Bye Maya," Emily said, walking away.

Emily was alone. She wanted to watch a bunch of ridiculous scary movies and cuddle with her girlfriend, but her plans were ruined, ironically, by said girlfriend. The swimmer instead opted to watch some Halloween cartoons specials, being to scared to watch a scary movie by herself. Maya was her rock.

It was 12:45am, and Emily was getting restless; she seriously wanted to be with Maya. Emily sighed and, realizing that she was cold, went up to her room to get a blanket. As she was grabbing the blanket from her closet, she heard a quiet 'plink!' from the window. Emily just thought that she was hearing things, until it happened again 'plink!' And again 'plink!' "What the heck?" Emily said, going over to her window. She peered out of the window and thinking she was seeing things, she opened the window.

She wasn't seeing things. Standing in her front yard, clad in her leather jacket and jeans with a guitar strapped to her back, was her girlfriend. Emily couldn't stop smiling. "What are you doing here? I thought-" "Our set was over, so I dipped," Maya said loud enough for Emily to hear and turning her guitar around, revealing it to be the white one she had wanted so badly. "Why didn't you just come inside? And I have a phone you know," "Yeah but this is way more romantic. Plus the door is locked." Maya replied, starting to strum, "This one reminds me of us,"

As she played a melody on her new guitar, which Emily did have to admit was beautiful, she started to sing also. "Take me to your best friend's house, going around this roundabout, oh yeah. Take me to your best friend's house, I loved you then and I love you now; oh yeah," Emily felt her eyes start to fill with tears. Not only because she was really happy to see Maya and she had a beautiful voice, but because this was one of the sweetest things anyone had ever done for her. And as the song continued, Emily was reminded of the thing she loved most about Maya: how sweet she was. How she totally turned off the badass tough girl act around her and became this kind, caring, passionate person that would do anything to make her happy.

And as Maya's song came to an end, she smiled up at Emily, who just stared back at her silently because she couldn't find the right words to say. Maya's smiled dropped as she shuddered horribly, the cold finally getting to her. Emily didn't hesitate to quickly make her way downstairs to let Maya in before she froze to death.

Upon pulling her inside, Emily leaned down and pressed her lips against her shivering girlfriend's. Maya immediately melted into the kiss, enjoying the warm feeling spreading throughout her body. As Emily pulled away, Maya hummed, "You could've just called," Emily said softly. "Yeah but," Maya said, stepping away so she could look Emily in the eyes. "The idea of ever not being with you, when I know that I could be, is scarier than anything I ever imagine." And once again, Emily was left speechless. So she just decided to kiss her again, wrapping her arms around the shorter girl's waist. Maya momentarily pulled to mumble again Emily's lips, "Happy Halloween."

Was that cute? Was it? I'm not really sure. But I AM sure that I'm never happy with the length of my chapters... ever. Anyway, I'll probably be writing these when I don't feel like working on my other story. Review review :)
