"Hey Mags I'm home" Alex called out as she put the keys to her girlfriend's apartment on the table and kicked off her boots.
"I'll be out in a second" Maggie called from the bedroom so Alex headed to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of beer for herself. As she settled on the sofa she noticed a pile of letters on the coffee table. She hadn't meant to be invasive but the sliver of gold lettering on the invitation caught her eye.
"Oh, I'm not going to that" Maggie said nonchalantly, as she walked back into the living room, seeing what Alex was reading.
"What?" Alex asked stunned as she snapped her head up to meet the brunette's gaze. As she met Maggie's eyes though she was given all the confirmation she needed. Her eyes were deadly serious. "Why would you not go to your high school reunion Maggie?" Alex pressed on. She knew Maggie had a rocky past with her hometown but this was the perfect opportunity to show everyone how successful she had become.
"I haven't really spoken to any of them in ten years Alex" Maggie stated, her voice laced with the lingering torments that came with high school. "And I have no intention of speaking to them now" she continued and Alex nodded with understanding.
"Aren't you at least a little curious?" Alex asked after a brief and comfortable silence.
"You're not going to drop this, are you?" Maggie questioned. Her smile said she was teasing but her eyes begged Alex to let it go.
"Haven't decided yet" Alex teases back and cuddles in closer to the women who had now joined her on the sofa, also a beer in hand.
"Okay but don't you want them all to see the arm candy you've managed to nap yourself" Alex said the next day as the couple were exiting their car onto the crime scene.
"You really think you're 'arm candy' Danvers" Maggie said avoiding the question.
"Well I- I just -pfft" Alex stammered and Maggie chuckled.
"You're way more than that" Maggie said stopping in front of Alex and brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Don't ever forget that" she continued as she placed a brief kiss on the taller women's lips.
The two quickly remembered where they were as Winn shouted "get a room" and pulled apart. The topic of the reunion lost to both of them.
"Hey Mags someone called 'Erica' just text you asking if you are going to the reunion" Maggie called over from the sofa to the kitchen where Maggie was making the two dinner. Maggie just groaned at the mention of the topic again so Alex added "I still think we should go".
"'We' hey?" Maggie questioned making her way over to the red head. "You just want to see where I grew up don't you?"
"No of course not" Alex defended "I think it will be good for you to show all those bullies how amazing you are now" Maggie just raised an eyebrow in suspicion "okay and I want to see where you grew up" Alex said giving in.
"Ha! Knew it" Maggie teased.
"I want to know you Mags, all of you." Alex said, her tone becoming serious. "Of course I want to see where you grew up, meet the people who helped shape you into the amazing women I know".
Tears stared to well up in Maggie's eyes. "Okay Alex" she breathed out. Alex responded with a questioning look. "Okay we'll go" and to this Alex squealed and hugged her girlfriend so tight she couldn't breathe. "You realise you'll have to meet my parents though" Maggie said after pulling away and Alex's eyes filled with panic.
