Piper stood in the doorway of the old boathouse, recently cleared of bloodbugs, admiring Nora. She always found herself admiring the way Nora could build and create things from junk and she especially admired the fact Nora used her skills to help give people safe homes. Today though Piper was admiring Nora for a different reason, she had fallen in the lake.
Piper couldn't help but laugh at the pout on Nora's face when she caught Piper staring. "Its funny now but just wait till I throw you in the water." Nora mutters.
"Ah, Blue don't be upset. You look cute like with your hair wet." Piper chuckles. Then she froze, "Did I just call Nora cute, to her face? Oh goodness, what if she figures out that I have a crush on her?" Piper panics internally.
"I see, so you were just unable to keep your eyes off me huh?" Nora questions with a smirk.
"What, I uh. Is that more bloodbugs I hear?" Piper stammers.
"Oh, I don't hear anything. We're all alone." Nora says, striding over to Piper.
"I'm pretty sure I hear bloodbugs, we should go get them." Piper says has Nora rests a wet hand on her shoulder.
"Its ok Piper no need to be nervous. I won't bite." Nora soothes.
"Its not that Blue, its just I kind of maybe have a crush on you." Piper manages to say. Once again she begins to panic, her thoughts racing and jumping to the worst possible outcomes.
"Oh dear, I had no idea." Nora begins with a purr, "Whatever shall I do with you?"
"Wh-what do you mean? Oh goodness, I'm sorry Blue I don't want to make things weird between us." Piper says, beyond nervous.
"Make things weird? You mean like this?" Nora asks as she leans in and kisses Piper. Pulling away from the stunned reporter Nora adds with a smile, "I think I am ok with that, if you are?"
Piper couldn't form the words to respond, Blue had just kissed her. Blue had just kissed her! A delighted smile spread across her face. "I am ok with that too Blue." She manages to respond. "Though you didn't need to make me panic like that, I was worried I had messed things up between us." Piper scolds.
"I know and I'm sorry. You aren't mad are you?" Nora asks bashfully.
"I can't stay mad at you Blue, especially with you kissing me." Piper laughs, too happy at Nora kissing her to pretend to be upset.
"Good, cause you are so very cute when you are flustered." Nora says with a devilish smile.
"You are the devil." Piper says in mock anger.
"I guess that means I'm your devil." Nora responds, Piper's heart skips several beats.
