Idgie Threadgoode / Ruth Jamison PG AU Femslash

Summary: Tell me the truth, Ruth.

Ruth Jamison did not want to go from Whistle Stop. She was in love. One might think that the girl fell in love with a local young man. No, everything was much more beautiful. She fell in love with a female cousin Idgie Threadgoode. Idgie reciprocated, incidentally.

Miss Threadgoode could not even imagine that Ruth would return home.

When Ruth Jemison had gone to Whistle Stop, she was sure she will go back to Georgia in the autumn. The girl considered that she will live in Whistle Stop during only one summer.

But everything turned completely different.

Ruth Jamison cried many nights in a row. The girl wanted very strongly to stay, but she understood that she should marry Frank Bennett.

The day when Ruth Jamison was going to Georgia, had come.

The things had been collected and Ruth began to tell goodbye to everyone.

The girl was going to say words of farewell to her beloved one, but she was afraid that Idgie can mess things up because of such grief, when suddenly...

"Miz Ruth, here's a letter for you." Onzell gave the envelope to Ruth.

Ruth Jamison opened it at once and became to read inwardly. It was a letter from her mother.

"Ruth, dear don't come home by any means. Frank Bennett is absolutely not the one he seems at first glance. I have known occasionally that he interested in girls only for "amusements". He's doing it with girls forcibly sometimes. After a girl has given birth to a baby, he brought the fist to poor girl's face that she not tells the truth. Fortunately, this horror is not always ends with the birth of the child. Plus to it, he's drunker.

So, don't come home by any means.

Love you, mama."

Ruth realised soon what had happened. Oh, how she was happy! But, alongside with it, Miss Jemison almost puked because of the thought about what Bennett could do with her.

The girl was going to Idgie's room at once.

Miss Threadgoode did not let Ruth to say a word.

"It means you're going and leave me because of him? How you dare? You can't to do this!" Idgie was shouting and Ruth waited when her beloved one will stop and she will be able finally to tell her what have happened.

Finally, Idgie noticed that Ruth is holding the envelope and smiling.

"What have happened? Tell me the truth, Ruth.

"It is here..." The girl waved by the envelope. But at first... Can I sit down?"

"Of course, sit down!" Ruth sat on the bed, the one she stood two steps away before. The girl was understanding - when Idgie will have read the letter, she will lay her down on the bed, so it's better to sit there by herself.

"Take it." Ruth gave the letter to Idgie.

"You were going to marry a drunk maniac? You were going to leave me for it?" The girl could not pronounce even "him" towards Bennett.

"I have not known what he's such person. I almost puked when I had finished reading. "I thought before that I should marry a man because I need to."

"But what's now?"

"I don't care now. I shall not go anywhere from you, my beloved bee charmer.

Idgie and Ruth were sitting on the bed very close to each other.

Idgie was thinking about how beautiful her Ruth.

They both were aware very well how strongly they fell in love. Least of their concern was that they are girls and relatives, moreover.

And that's when Idgie kissed Ruth right on the lips tenderly.

"It seems as I died and gone to Paradise." Ruth caught herself on this thought. A matter of fact, preacher's daughter could not think even about what have happened is possible for her, and she will respond so.

Idgie looked at Ruth that knows what her beloved one feels.

Ruth kissed Idgie back almost immediately. She realised what have happened and did not let the girl to finish the one she started so successfully.

"So, what?" Idgie asked, smiling.

"You're my Paradise, Idgie Threadgoode," Ruth answered, smiling no less than bee charmer.

"I think we need to end up with Mr. F.B. I'll go to the kitchen and show the letter to Momma."

"You're right." Ruth agreed.

Idgie caught Momma in the kitchen.

"Momma, sit down, please."

"What have happened?" Mrs. Threadgoode frightened.

"Nothing terrible," her daughter answered. It was so now, though.

"How awfully!" Momma Threadgoode said when she had read the letter, "Ruth's staying with us. Oh, is she alright?"

"She's alright." - idgie answered. It was really so now.

Idgie come back and entered in the room. She put the boots off and lay on the bed.

"Everything's alright." As Momma said, "Ruth's staying with us." Come to me, Ruth."

Miss Jemison put the boots off at once and lay near her beloved one. Idgie embraced Ruth and pressed her to herself.

"Yes, I imagine what I would do, if you had left." Idgie said.

"Yes, I imagine too and I get scared. Of course, it's not so strongly like when I had read the letter. "

"You've had enough for now. You'll not want to leave your beloved Idgie."

"Never, love... until death do us part."

"I hope we have many more years."

"I hope so too."

"Ruth, do you remember your happiest day?"Idgie Interested.

"Of course, today is very good day, but the letter... If count only since the time when I appeared in your room, then yes. But other da,y which is happiest one for me presently, remained in my memory. It was the day when you took the honey out from the hollow full of bees. Then you gave a jug with the honey to me, and smiled. That's when I fell in love with you, bee charmer Idgie Threadgoode. I was hearing a wonderful phrase one day. Here's its snippet: "...someone might fall in love with your smile." (A/N: by Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

"Then?" Idgie wondered, "I have not thought about it even."

"And which is your happiest day?" Ruth asked too.

"If not count this day, then... Maybe, the day when you have come in Whistle Stop or... No, the best day is when we were alone together. That's when you were calling me The Bee Charmer. We were alone together. Ruth, do you understand how it's wonderfully?

"Yes, I am now." Ruth answered and pressed Idgie threadgoode to herself. "It's the same!"

"What can you do for me?" Miss Jemison asked insinuatingly.

Bee charmer looked at Ruth so devotedly, that everything was clear without words.

"Alright, you must learn at school only one more year."

"I'll do everything for you." Idgie said at once.

"When I remember happiest day, I understand very well why something happened. First, you're beautiful and have blue eyes. Second, you smiled so... and these things together... I fell in love with you, Idgie.

"Do you really think I'm beautiful?"

"Is it possibly, looking at you, think otherwise?"

"You're much more beautiful than me, love."

Before Ruth was going to leave, she and Idgie were swing often. Residents of Whistle Stop, who passing by, were looking at them and thought that they were both beautiful. And nobody thought that one of the two beautifully.
