Feelings
Antoinette Topaz has been in love with Cheryl Blossom a lot longer than she dares to admit, even to herself. That doesn't mean she's not completely open with those feelings, despite all of her friends telling her to stop it.
She's always been one to say what she thinks, to do what she wants and never did she spare a single thought to the fact that there could be situations in which it were better to keep to yourself. Her friends are all on her side, but they also try to make her see that it's not always best to be so open – just like her parents used to do when she had been a child. The only thing she'll achieve with it is getting hurt, because, despite what Toni vehemently believes, people aren't good. Especially not Cheryl Blossom.
Cheryl Blossom is the Ice Queen in person and everyone seems to be sure of that. Everyone except Toni. And she is determined to do everything in her power to make them see that.
She starts with small, unobtrusive gestures to show her how she feels. Holding open the door to the cafeteria where she normally would have just walked through and let it fall shut behind her. Bending down to pick up the pen the redhead has dropped when they crossed paths in the hallway. Up until this day, Toni has no idea if Cheryl even knows she exists at all, but when she's graced with a small smile when she hands over her English notes from the day before where Cheryl had been absent, Toni knows she's made herself noticed at least.
Her biggest achievement is, weeks later, volunteering to tutor the redhead in math and, though there had been other options available, Cheryl had picked her without hesitation. Granted, the other options consisted of a couple of math freaks that already knew the college syllabus by heart and could solve five different problems simultaneously, in their sleep. Cheryl would never, ever, want to be seen with anyone like that. Not even in her own home, practicing school work so she won't fail the year.
It's a slow process after that, but Toni just knows it's going to be worth it. She has no indication whatsoever to the nature of Cheryl's feelings towards her or if the girl is even into girls herself, but that doesn't bother Toni in the slightest. She'll try her best and, if Cheryl turns out to be straight and not interested in her, Toni at least finally knows.
They meet for tutoring once a week, twice when there is an exam coming and on those occasions the dark haired beauty drops very unsubtle hints about the feelings she has for the redhead and what she would really like to happen. Cheryl doesn't encourage her, but she hasn't outright told her to stop yet either. Maybe, she's not the Ice Queen everyone thinks her to be and maybe, Toni will not get hurt by confessing her feelings one day in so many words.
She doesn't mind, that Cheryl seems to not be flirting back, because that would come soon enough, for if she weren't interested at all, she would have said something way sooner. And so Toni keeps on opening up to the redhead, flirting, teasing, showing her that she knows exactly what she's feeling and she's only waiting for the other girl to realize she's doing the same.
That day comes rather unexpected for Antoinette and it takes her so completely off guard, that she avoids Cheryl for a whole day in school until their next tutoring session. The off-handed comment about taking her out should Cheryl pass the next math exam on Friday is nothing to blow out off proportion, but the little wink and the suggestive smile she receives just before she closes the door to the Blossom home has her heart skip a beat. And then, suddenly Antoinette Topaz is scared about her feelings for the very first time in her life.
But it only lasts that one day after the unexpected occurrence, and then the girl is her old self again. She reduces the flirting to a minimum on the next session, but it's still there, but Toni really * really * wants Cheryl to pass that exam. A date with the Queen Bee/ Ice Queen of Riverdale High is at the very top of her list of priorities. And then they receive their graded exams a week later and Cheryl passes with the highest score she's ever received in any of her exams since elementary school and Toni is nervous.
Cheryl picks her up that night and they head to the cinema, watching some cheesy romance Toni would probably not have watched if she'd been alone, but with Cheryl she feels like she's exactly where she wants to be. Some time during the movie Toni dares to take Cheryl's hand in her own and it's probably just her imagination, but she swears she sees the read head blush while holding on tighter. When Cheryl laces their fingers during the following obligatory milkshakes at Pop's, it's Toni who blushes. And by the end of the night, both girls share and receive their very first kiss and it could not have been any better of an experience.
She's still being told to be careful, that she's feeling way too much way too soon and that she's falling way too hard for a girl that is only capable of feeling nothing and will just break her heart in the end, but Toni ignores all those negative comments. She's happy and she knows she's always falling way too fast and Cheryl hasn't been the first one she's felt like this for. But she's the only one that's actually lasted for as long as it has and if she has any say in it, Cheryl would also be the last one she'll ever feel like this for. And if either or both of them would end up with a broken heart in the end, then that's just life and has nothing to do with Toni being too attached or Cheryl not being attached enough.
And that's all both of them need to know right now.
It's on their two months anniversary, that the first of Toni's friends stop trying to talk her out off the relationship. Not all of them are convinced of Cheryl's heart and ability to love and still think letting yourself be ruled by feelings for such a person will only break you in the end, but enough of them had actually made an effort to get to know the presumed Ice Queen and had found her to be a normal person just like they are.
What finally makes Cheryl win over the rest of Toni's group of friends is the surprise she's put together for their six months anniversary. The red head had enlisted all of their help and while some of them had only reluctantly started out, all of them had changed their demeanor pretty quickly. It is everything that is Toni and so much more and no one that is only playing with somebody else's feelings would ever care enough to orchestrate all that. It's when Cheryl says 'I love you' first, propped up against a tree stump with Toni's dyed pink hair in her lap, that all the lingering doubts are erased from all of their minds.
And that night, Toni takes Cheryl back to her place, where her parents aren't home and shows her exactly how much she loves her, too.
The moment the bedroom door closes behind the two girls, Toni has her pressed up against the wood, kissing the red head with a passion that almost overwhelms them both. Cheryl though, is a willing participant, threading her fingers through her girlfriend's long, pink-ish hair. The other hand is already working on pulling her black top out of her pants to get access to smooth skin. Toni's breath hitches at the contact and she has to break away from their kiss for just long enough to get air into her lungs again. What a shame it would be to suffocate right now; but oh, what a way to go it would be, too.
It's slow, lingering and tentative, both just as aware of that they have no actual idea what they are doing than the other has. Toni and Cheryl alike have spend a lot of time imagining what it would be like to finally make love to the only person that had ever captured their heart so fully and completely, but the fact alone, that neither of them had ever had done this before, be it with a boy or a girl, makes the act of purposefully undressing and caressing exposed skin all the more powerful than any imagination could ever be.
When Cheryl stands in front of the other girl, in nothing but her blood red underwear, Toni takes a step back and just takes a moment to appreciate how beautiful her girlfriend is. Cheryl, for her part, does the same with an equally undressed Toni and when their eyes meet again, it's like a magnetic pull that fuses their lips together again, hands taking up their roaming again.
Before she has even consciously registered it, the back of Toni's legs hit the bed and she falls back into the soft covers, taking the red head with her. The other girl comes willingly, never breaking their kiss while she dares being brave enough to reach behind Toni's back to unclasp her bra. The garment hits the floor somewhere beside the bed and Cheryl sits back onto her heels, straddling Toni's thighs and just looks. She's seen the girl change more often than she an count anymore, but it's the first time she's ever seen her naked breasts. It's captivating in a way Cheryl can't explain.
Toni looks shy and uncomfortable being the sole center of attention and so, instead of doing what she really wants to do and sliding her hands up the other girl's torso and finally touch what she has been dreaming of for so long, Cheryl reaches behind her back and unfastens her own bra. She throws it in the same direction Toni's had ended up and when she fixes her eyes back onto the girl underneath her, Toni's eyes are wide and full of expectation and longing.
And for all the control Cheryl seems to have taken just moments ago, it's Toni who slides her hands up the red heads sides with teasingly feather light touches and cups two full breasts with both her hands. She lightly, experimentally, brushes a nipple with her thumb and Cheryl lets out the most incredible sound Toni has ever heard. She does it again, and again and again, just to hear Cheryl breath her name on a chocked sigh.
It takes Cheryl a long time to do anything with her hands other than grip Toni's hips in a hard embrace, but when she finally does, she gives just as good as she gets. The dark haired girl's lips part and her eyes lose focus for a moment when Cheryl takes both her breasts in the palm of her hands and pinches the already hard nub between her thumb and index finger.
They tease each other for a good while, neither really sure how to initiate anything more, or what to do should they finally reach the state of * anything more *. Until Cheryl changes her position on top of the other girl and her thigh accidentally presses against Toni's most sensitive part and her hips arch off the bed in search of more friction. Cheryl feels the dampness of the fabric on her smooth skin and she knows she's in very much the same state.
Then it feels like they have done this many times over already, but still with the novelty of it being the very first time. Cheryl divests Toni of the last scrap of clothing she's wearing and touching her for the first time, she suddenly isn't shy about it anymore. It's * not * the first time she brings someone to highs with her skilled fingers, but so far it had only been herself she has experience in this sort of thing with. But she lets instinct take over, learning the ways Toni's body reacts to her ministrations and listens to the breathless whispers coming from her girlfriend's parted lips.
It doesn't take long for Toni to feel the beginnings of her orgasm rush through her, and she cries out when Cheryl finally enters her with one finger, then two and pumps them in and out in an excruciatingly slow pace. The pressure on her clit from the red head's other hand is enough to send Toni over the edge with a low, drawn out moan. Cheryl, still sitting above her and watching the girl fall apart, thinks it's the most beautiful thing she's ever seen and probably ever will.
She places a light kiss on Toni's lips and drops down next to her on the mattress, taking the girl in her arms while she's still trying to catch her breath. And then, suddenly and without warning, she's straddling the red head with an evil smirk gracing her lips and Cheryl can't contain the glee, knowing it's her turn now.
