Jules could still taste 'him' on her lips, the casual richness of it and the soft, admittingly feminine lips.
She knew that Eli was actually a girl, but the other knew nothing of the fact as she firmly believed that she'd grow in to a man one day.
Jules couldn't convince her of anything else though the kiss was sweet, and Elizaveta thought that it was right and normal for them to do since Eli believed herself to be a guy due to some unknown growth effects and confusion due to mostly being near guys.
It was years down the road before Elizaveta admitted to being a woman, but it didn't stop her from dating her obviously female, best friend.
Jules held on to Elizaveta as they fully immersed themselves in to the kiss.
It wasn't a perfect kiss in terms of experience, form, and skill but rather by emotion and love.
Jules had never realized what she had in these sloppy moments with her best friend, but may be that was to be expected when this was all that she knew.
Years passed from those sloppy, high school kisses, and now Jules looked over to just catch the newspaper article in front of her and between her brother and her.
It read Elizaveta Héderváry and Emma Janssen got married last Saturday and were honeymooning in Hungary and Belgium.
Julchen nearly choked on her water; when did that happen?
Sure, she and Eli had went there own ways after high school and rarely kept in touch, but it still came as a major surprise to the Prussian to hear of this in the paper; Julia could not stake a claim on her ex since they'd already broken up, but, oh she wanted to!
A part of her still belonged to her Hungarian ex even though Jules had explored in her own ways eventually leading to her discovery of her bisexuality.
Eli looked so content in the picture, excitement clear in her eyes, and the woman that she held looked so happy and sweet.
Jules was admittedly jealous in some way, shape, or form though mostly she longed for what she couldn't have, could never have again though she knew that Elizaveta had grown in various ways since high school, and it made this seemingly irrelevant.
Still the least she could do was congratulate them.
