A/N: Hey there! I haven't posted anything in a while, so here you go! Me and one of my friends had yet another one of those writing challenge things and this time it had to have femmeslash or, two girl romance. I had only a 30 minute window to write this, so it's short, but I think it turned out well despite the restriction. Be warned, as this is nothing like anything I've posted before. Having said that, I hope you enjoy!
Whitney and Jasmine were as close as sisters, so you can bet Jasmine was worried when a distraught Whitney sought shelter in the steel gym in the middle of a thunderstorm. You can bet she was surprised when Whitney told her what happened to make her so distraught. "I caught that asshole cheating on me!" Whitney screamed. That asshole, of course, was refferng to her apparently now-ex-boyfriend Falkner.
"That's terrible!" Jasmine gasped. "With who?"
"That flying type gym leader from Hoenn." Whitney sniffled while wiping her eyes in her sleeve. "Slut." She added under her breath.
"Oh no!" Jasmine was on the verge of tearing up herself. She almost knew how Whitney felt, despite never experiencing the injustice Whitney had to. "How'd you find out?"
"He was doing her in the gym and forgot to tell me not to come over." Whitney said.
Jasmine gasped again. "So you had to see it?"
Whitney wailed again. "Yes!" She started sobbing violently and fell to her knees. Jasmine kneeled down to Whitney's level and tried comforting Whitney with a hug.
"It's okay." Jasmine said, stroking the Normal-type gym leader's hair. "You'll be alright."
Whitney sniffed. "You sure?"
"Yes."
Whitney broke away to look in Jasmine's eyes. "How do you know?"
"I just do." Jasmine smiled. Whitney always took refuge in that smile. She admired how Jasmine could always maintain a calm, collected, positive attitude in the worst of situations.
Whitney and Jasmine were as close as sisters, so you can bet Jasmine was surprised when Whitney leaned in and gave her a light kiss. You can bet she was shocked when she kissed Whitney right back. They continued to kiss a minute until Whitney tightened her grasp on the Steel user and buried her face in Jasmine's chest. Her sobbing, though still present, was now softer. Jasmine's dumbfound expression changed to a soft, warm smile and she started stroking Whitney's hair, calming her down like the stuffed animal she used for comfort when she was little. Whitney went to Jasmine for a comforting friend and found so much more. In the coming months, Falkner's infidelity would be revealed and his little respect would effectively drop to below zero. Whitney and Jasmine, meanwhile, though facing the evils of a discriminating, homophobic region, would find love better than anyone else could have given either of them.
Whitney and Jasmine were as close as sisters, until they fell in love.
