DQW Day 1: Split Queen Meets Mal
Summary: In which the Evil Queen pays Maleficent a visit in Storybrooke
"Hello, Maleficent. Care to let an old friend in?" the queen grinned knowingly from the woman's door step.
The blonde quirked a brow–stepping to the side to allow the other woman entrance–as her eyes scanned the brunette's appearance.
"You look different from when I last saw you," the sorceress began, eyeing the woman skeptically. "Have done something new with your hair?"
The queen scoffed at comment. "You know perfectly well I'm not the Regina you were expecting, dear, so let's drop the pleasantries."
Maleficent nodded in agreement, never one to enjoy beating around the bush. "So what brings you here, your majesty?" The blonde handed the queen a freshly-poured cup of tea and then made her way to the nearby kitchen to retrieve another for herself.
Taking a seat in the living, the brunette replied, "I'm here for your assistance."
"My assistance?" Maleficent appeared from the kitchen archway, chucking as she took a seat beside the queen. "I'll have you know, ever since I've reunited with my daughter, evil deeds have been farthest from my to-do list."
The Evil Queen nodded at the information. "I figured as much."
"So what did you have in mind?" inquired the sorceress.
Placing her cup of warm liquid onto the coffee table, the queen answered, "I was thinking we could catch up." The woman's expression morphed into a suggestive smirk. "Just like old times."
Maleficent swallowed down a mouthful of her drink before placing her own cup beside the other woman's. "I'm not sure that's–"
"Since when were you one to follow the rules, Mal?" the queen challenged.
Seeing that she had rendered the woman speechless, the brunette leaned toward the blonde and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "You're just as beautiful as I remember," the queen husked out.
Maleficent felt herself shiver at the touch as she sucked in a sharp breath of air. Having been locked up for the last thirty years, the sorceress had forgotten how nice it felt to be so physically close to someone. "I've missed you, Regina."
Pulling the other woman close, Maleficent captured the queen's lips with her own. The two women fought each other for dominance before settling out into a perfect rhythm. And Maleficent decided that she wouldn't allow herself to lose Regina ever again.
