A/N: Yeah so for the purposes of this story, -A and all that fun stuff probably isn't gonna happen. I am also not sure how far this story will go, as I've never really written anything before, so God only knows where this will go. There are some scenes I'm not comfortable writing, so if you're here for some Emison sex scenes, this is the wrong story for you.

Anyways, this starts out with the locker scene, but a different take on it. The way it played out on the show was always weird to me, so I'm just gonna change it up. Watch this be a one-shot I stg. Anyways enough rambling onto the story

Chapter 1: Confessions

Emily was standing in the locker room waiting for Ali to finish changing from swimming so that they could go home. Ali was rambling on about something, but Emily wasn't listening, as her mind was elsewhere. In fact, she was thinking about her kiss with Ali in the library a week prior. That kiss was all she could think about, because Ali was her whole world.

Ali could tell that Emily was in a distant land in her head, but that didn't stop her from rambling. She was only rambling because Emily made her incredibly nervous, in all honesty Emily gave her butterflies, so she rambled on. Ali figured the only way to break Emily out of her trance was to simply shut up, so she did. It didn't take long for Emily to notice the sudden silence.

"I-i wasn't listening. I'm so sorry Ali, did you ask me a question?" Emily finally got out. Ali rolled her eyes and smirked at how cute Emily was being, because only Emily could make not paying attention attractive.

"Actually I didn't ask you a question. I just noticed you weren't paying attention to what I was saying, so I decided to see if you would notice," Ali paused searching Emily's eyes for that love she always saw before continuing, "And you did notice. Almost right away too."

Emily didn't know what to say to Ali in the slightest, which only caused Ali to start rambling again. "I mean, I hope I didn't take away from whatever it was you were thinking about, because you seemed so happy thinking about it, but I just wanted to-"

Unable to put up with Ali's flustered rambling, Emily cut her off by saying, "Hey, don't worry about it. It was nothing what I was thinking about," Emily looked at the ground after saying that, "Actually, I don't know what it would be considered…"

"What could you possibly mean by that?" And when Emily refused to look at her, Ali had a sneaking suspicion about the event Emily was thinking about. "Em…" Ali's face softened into a genuine smile that she only ever gave Emily, "Look at me. It's okay." Emily refused to look at her, so Ali gently placed her hand under Emily's chin, and lifted her head up to look at her. "You were thinking about our kiss in the library, weren't you?"

Emily blushed giving Alison the answer she needed. Emily, however, said, "Ali can you you finish changing? My mom's waiting, and I don't want to make her wait." Emily quickly looked away again, and missed the smile fall from Ali's face. Ali was uncertain what to say to Emily, so she just finished getting changed like Emily asked her. Both girls didn't say anything as they left the locker room and walked out to Pam's car. In fact, the car ride to the Fields' house was silent, which was unheard of, because Ali and Emily always chatted with Pam. Pam wasn't sure what happened between the two girls for them to be so quiet, but she decided to just leave it be, so that Ali and Emily could figure it out themselves.

Once at the Fields house, the two girls went up to Emily's room for a few minutes before dinner. Ali was no stranger to eating dinner at Emily's house, she ate there most nights as no one was ever home at her house. Ali felt more at home at Emily's house than she did at her own house. Pam never asked questions about her home life, and when Wayne was home, he didn't either. They both knew that Ali would give them vague answers as to what it was like, so they steered away from the topic. Instead they asked her questions about her day, questions a parent should ask their child. That's how Pam and Wayne viewed Ali, as their own child.

Ali was still waiting on an answer to the question she asked Emily in the locker room. And true to her nature, Ali wasn't afraid of pushing for an answer. "Em, are you going to answer the question? Were you thinking about our kiss in the library?"

Emily just stared at her before crossing her arms and looking away, eventually murmuring, "Why do you care so much? And even if I was, is that such a bad thing? Unless you regret it." Emily abruptly stopped talking as the realization of what she just said sunk in. "You regret it don't you?" Emily spoke at a louder volume this time, and was obviously becoming very worked up over this possibility. Alison could tell how worked up she was getting, so she went and and grabbed Emily's hands.

"What makes you think I would regret it? What makes you think I haven't been thinking about that kiss too?" Ali intertwined her fingers with Emily's, and smiled at her.

"Because you're Alison Dilaurentis! You could have any guy you want, so why would you want me? Especially since I'm not a guy! You're way out of my league too… You're actually way out of everybody's league," Emily finished her sentence in a hushed whisper that Ali could barely hear. Emily was still looking away, but it finally seemed to sink in that Ali had intertwined their fingers. "A-a-ali?" Emily managed to stutter out before eventually looking up at Ali's face to see her smile.

Ali looked at Emily's face and finally said what she had been wanting to say since that day in the library, "Who says I would want a guy? I never said I was interested in them, you made that assumption. Ever since we kissed in the library, I've been thinking about it. I've been thinking about what it means a lot, and I realized something. I realized that I am completely and totally in love with you. I think I have been since the day I met you all those years ago in Brownies. I just didn't know what the feeling was at the time, but I do now. And I can name one person that isn't out of my league, they happen to be standing right in front of me." Ali gently squeezed Emily's hands to reassure her, because Emily looked like she was ready to cry. Ali was pretty sure it was tears of happiness, because Emily's beautiful brown eyes showed nothing but pure joy in them.

Emily didn't know what to say. Here was the girl she had been madly in love with for practically her entire life declaring her love for her, Emily Fields. Emily was certain this had to be a dream, because this only ever happened in her dreams. But she knew it was no dream, because this felt more real than any of her dreams she had ever had about Alison declaring her love for her. Emily just looked at Ali and said the only thing she could think of, "I'm completely in love with you too," she paused before adding, "And it's about time you said you loved me." Emily let go of Ali's hands and wrapped her in a giant hug, and it was at that moment that Ali realized how much she needed to say those words to Emily.

Ali finally pulled away from the hug to look at Emily once more. "I'm so glad I told you how I felt. It feels like a giant weight has been lifted off my chest. You mean everything to me Emily Fields." And with that statement she moved so that she was closer to Emily's face, and kissed her, hoping to convey how much she loved Emily with that kiss.

So uhm, yeah. That was possibly the first of many chapters for this story. I'm not really sure yet, because there are places I could take this story, it's just a matter of executing them. And there will eventually come a time for scenes that I'm not comfortable writing/ I'm unsure how to write, and I don't know how to tackle that issue yet. So we shall see
