i got an ask from tumblr asking me to continue this so why not. Next chapter will be them being dorky in New York.
Flight AA343 to New York is currently delayed. Please stand by for updates."
Collective groans can be heard around them as the flight attendant broke the bad news. Carmilla huffed and nudged Laura who's sleeping on her shoulder.
"Cutie," She crooned, tucking Laura's stray hair behind her ear. "We kinda have a situation."
Laura groans and tightens her hold on Carmilla. "What?" She asks, keeping her eyes closed.
"Our flight is delayed."
Laura sighs and opens her eyes. "For how long?"
"I have no idea." Carmilla steals a glance at the flight attendant who is standing by the boarding gate. She's surrounded by angry passengers who bombard her with questions. Carmilla listens and picks up the words congestion in air traffic and half an hour, sir you do not need to shout please calm down.
"Half an hour."
"Well that sucks." Laura stands up and stretches, she looks around and puts her hands on her hips. She's wearing an oversized gray sweater with Silas U printed in front, her blue jeans and black chucks. "Well come on." She says, holding out her hand to Carmilla.
Carmilla raises an eyebrow. "Where are we going?"
"Let's buy food, I'm hungry."
"We just bought breakfast 30 minutes ago." Carmilla says flatly as she tries to fight a smile.
Laura huffs and puts her hands back at her hips. "That was 30 minutes ago, I'm hungry again."
Carmilla is grinning now. They had a stack of pancakes, eggs, bacons and hashbowns and she's hungry again. Unbelievable. "You are not hungry, you're just bored."
"I'm not!"
"You are currently pacing around me in circles sweetie, that's a sign of being bored."
Laura stops pacing and turns towards Carmilla. "That's cause we've been here for 2 hours already, I've got nothing to do." she whines, her shoulders slumping.
Carmilla reaches out and takes Laura's hand. "C'mere," She says softly, tugging Laura towards her, Laura falls softly into her lap and Carmilla automatically wraps her arm around her waist. She plants a small kiss on Laura's neck, making the younger girl shudder.
"I can think of something we can do to pass the time." She whispers in Laura's ear.
"What?" Laura asks, her breathing rapid and her heartbeat slightly faster than normal, making Carmilla smile slyly. 24 hours ago they wouldn't even touch each other, now Laura's at her lap and she's planting kisses at her neck. Funny how things work out, Carmilla muses. She puts her hand under Laura's chin and brings their lips together. Laura tastes like strawberries and cookies, sweet and addicting, and Carmilla couldn't get enough of it.
"This is the second time we've kissed." Laura states as she breaks the kiss, her eyebrows furrowing. Carmilla notices her distraught expression, she takes her hand and intertwines their fingers together. "Yes, and?"
Laura looks down, her face blushing red. "Nothing, I-, nevermind."
"Hey, what is it?" Carmilla asks, confusion lacing her voice and features.
"It's just that," Laura stammers, still looking down. She sighs deeply and looks at Carmilla. "I don't know how we lasted without doing that for the past months."
Carmilla feels that fluttering feeling in her stomach, she smiles and laughs softly. "Wow, I'm that good huh?"
Laura punches her on the shoulder making her laugh harder. "Shut up." Laura mutters, folding her arms over her chest. Carmilla leans towards her and gives her a small peck on the lips. "Don't worry," She whispers, her lips still hovering over Laura's.
"We have all the time in the world to make up for it."
Laura's been staring at Carmilla for about five minutes now. She can't help it, there's just something about Carmilla's relaxed expression as she gazes out of the airplane window that makes Laura more smitten. Laura was originally assigned the window seat, but as they sat down she noticed Carmilla glancing at the window every now and then. And when Laura offered to switch places Carmilla gave her the biggest grin that she saw and the last piece of chocolate.
"Are you sure you don't want this seat?" Carmilla asks for the tenth time, not taking her eyes off the window.
"No it's fine," Laura answers, not taking her eyes off Carmilla.
"My view here is fantastic." Carmilla says excitedly as she snaps a picture of the clouds on her phone.
Laura still doesn't take her eyes of Carmilla.
"So is mine."
Carmilla doesn't answer but Laura can see a smile forming on her lips.
Carmilla falls asleep 20 minutes later while holding her phone. Laura drapes a blanket over her and takes the absurdly expensive device from her hand. After a few minutes Laura starts fidgeting.
She's bored again.
Laura thinks of waking Carmilla up, but vampires need their rest too. Her eyes drift over Carmilla's phone in her hand and Laura smiles slyly.
Carmilla wakes up and discovers 100 selfies of Laura in her phone. Laura gives her a sheepish smile and stands up to go to the bathroom. She views one photo where Laura has her head tilted and she's sticking out her tongue.
Carmilla shakes her head and makes it her wallpaper.
this is dedicated to all the flights i've been on that's been delayed. Which is actually 99% of them. Fuck you.
