Emma giggled and kissed Regina's nose, letting go of her shirt and holding her hips. The brunette rested on her lap, head now on her shoulder. She nuzzled into Emma's blonde, coconut-and-musk-scented hair. Emma sighed and started rubbing knots out of Regina's back.
"All of this sneaking around is going to get us in trouble," Emma sighed. Regina hushed her, shaking her head.
"We just have to remember that we're doing nothing wrong, regardless of our parents."
Emma dropped her hands to Regina's hips. "Whatever you say, darling. I suppose. But maybe Jefferson was right, it isn't normal for two friends to kiss each other and sneak over to each other's houses at night. Especially at such a young age."
"Oh, you and that damned therapist." Regina grumbled, snuggling further into Emma's neck.
Emma chuckled and squeezed Regina's hips. "He's not damned, my dear. He's got a college education. Just like you will some day."
Regina sat up and glared at Emma, poking her chest. "And you."
Emma laughed. "Look at this jumper, Regina. It's made of an old pair of jeans and three blouses. I don't even have the money to buy a jumper."
Regina smoothed out her beautifully plaited braid. "You know that I don't care about your money. What's going on? You're bringing up all kinds of ridiculous issues."
Emma sighed. "I failed history and am going to be put into a behavioral school, in South Dakota." She finally confessed.
Regina swallowed thickly, closing her eyes tightly and processing. "You're doing what?" She bit her lip, eyes beginning to feel heavy with tears.
Emma cupped Regina's cheeks. "It's not my fault, I knew you were going to be devastated. My parents decided that I'm just going to have to leave them since I'm a disgrace. They told me I'm leaving this Saturday." She sighed, wiping Regina's tears as they spilled from her eyes.
Regina sniffled and held her hands over Emma's. She smiled. "I'm coming with you." She leaned forward and kissed Emma's lips, just at the corner. Emma frowned.
"Wha- No, you can't, it's like mili-"
"I'm not going to let you leave me so easily, Emma Swan! I'm in love with you, damnit, and love can overcome anything!"
Emma sat there, aghast, mouth open. "Or we could just… run away…" Regina shrugged. "I have my college fund and I can withdraw from it, mother has been telling me to leave the house anyways. Who ever said two fifteen year old girls couldn't live alone?"
"The law, Regina. The law says that. We'll end up in a foster care program."
"Not if we go to the cabin."
"Regina-"
"Do you want to be with me or not?!" Regina finally spat out, looking to Emma with wild eyes.
Emma swallowed thickly. "Y-yes of course I wanna b-"
She was interrupted by the firm pressure of Regina's lips pressed against hers, kissing her with all of the passion left in her soul. "Emma Swan, I'm in love with you." She repeated, lips still brushing against Emma's.
"And Regina Mills, I'm in love with You." Emma smiled and kissed Regina again. "I will do whatever I can to keep you wrapped in my arms. That's the only way I'm happy.
