Prompt: Callie has a crush on Stef.
"You're sure?" Stef asked, still numb with shock.
"Yes. I overheard her telling Jude. Honestly, I'm more concerned about Jude. He got really angry, yelling about how they're going to get kicked out again. He has some serious trust issues. Maybe we should get him some counseling too. I think he might really benefit from it…" Lena trailed off, lost in the thought.
"Maybe he has a point."
"Please tell me you're kidding." Lena now the one looking shocked.
"What?" Stef said defensively.
"That's a little bit of an overreaction, don't you think? It's just a little crush."
Stef took a deep breath. "Yeah, okay. But what should we do?"
"Well, for now we ride it out. We don't have to worry about anything happening so for now we just wait to see if it passes. If it seems like she's not getting over it, we'll have to talk to her." Lena spoke matter-of-factly.
"So, that's probably why I can't seem to get a moment alone? Every time I turn around she's there, always needing to talk or just… watching." Stef covered her face with her hands, trying to rub the tension out of her forehead. "I thought she just wanted a mom," she said, woefully.
Lena laughed at her wife. "Looks like she wanted something else," she teased.
"Oh god," Stef wailed, burying her face in her hands. Lena chuckled again, wrapping her arms around her.
"Look, it's not that big of a deal. It happens. I've dealt with it many times at work and so have just about all of my co-workers. But there's not a better house she could have ended up in if these feelings are going to be part of her life. Just… make sure you set your boundaries." She rubbed circles in the middle Stef's back.
"I just… I don't get it. How could a 16 year old girl develop these kinds of feelings for me? What's the attraction?"
"When I was her age, I would have." Stef looked at her like she'd grown a third eye. "Honey, you're the most kind and loving person I have ever met. You have a never ending supply of affection. You are smart and silly and fair. And you are gorgeous. There is every reason in the world for a girl like Callie to fall for you. And any other person, for that matter." She winked playfully at her wife.
"Well, when you put it that way." Shaking her head, still in disbelief, she kissed Lena's cheek. "What is happening?"
