Anonymous: would you consider writing something from that cute little 30 sec scene of Margot/Tilly not wanting to let go of each other's hands in episode 7x19 ?
Early that morning, Tilly and Margot had meant for breakfast at a cute little cafe not far from the book shop that Tilly had taken Margot to on their first date. After which, Tilly, with a little more free time on her hands, had offered to walk Robin to Roni's for the start of her late morning shift.
"We should have picked someone further away," Margot sighed as she caught sight of Roni's sign hanging overhead the entrance just a few short buildings away.
"I could always pick you up when you're done?" Tilly offered lightly, swinging her and Margot's hands between them. They hadn't let go of each since Tilly picked her up, not even when they sat eating. They let their fingers entwine while her hands sat on the table beside their plates, somehow succeeding in eating their whole meals with just their one free hand, which led to some funny problems that had them both giggling loudly and drawing attention from the other people around them.
"If you have other things to do, that's okay." Margot shrugged casually, unconsciously tightening her hold on Tilly's hand as she did.
Tilly smiled at her. "I've got nothing but time." For you, she added silently but it was almost like Margot could read it in her eyes and she returned the smile.
They reached the bar and they both came to a stop, lingering just outside the steps and smiling at each other. They were both as reluctant to leave as the other and, if not for the fact that Margot was temporarily living with Roni, then she might have called sick to spend the day with Tilly instead. Unfortunately she did live with Roni and so she couldn't get away with it.
"I better go." Margot said finally. "I had fun. Eating lunch, I mean." She laughed.
"Me too. We should do it more often." Tilly joked.
Margot hesitated. "Why don't we? I mean, meet up every morning for breakfast? We could go somewhere new every day until we've been to all the places Hyperion Heights has. Kind of like a in town adventure."
"I'd love that." Tilly beamed. The truth was they had already begun spending a lot of time together. Since their first date when Margot said Tilly's bad days wouldn't scare her off, they had met up almost every day, either to walk somewhere or for a meal or even for a quick chat before they had to run off again. Not that she was complaining. If she had it her way, Tilly would never have to say goodbye to Margot.
However, at this moment she did need to say goodbye. Because Margot had to work and Rogers was expecting Tilly back soon. Still, she let their hands linger for a little longer before making a bold move and leaning forward…
Just as the door opened and Roni stuck her head out. "Oh good, you're here. Margot, I know you have a few minutes before your shift but could you jump on early and cover while I duck out for a moment?"
"Yeah, sure, Roni." Margot nodded, blushing slightly.
Roni paused for a moment like she had realised what she interrupted, but then shook her head and vanished back inside. After a second, Margot turned back to Tilly and smiled.
"I better go." She repeated, grinning. "I'll see you after my shift?"
"It's a date." Tilly grinned. "There's a bar I can take you. I know one of the employees and they're always giving me free drinks."
"Not always!" Margot laughed, which was an all out lie, and she finally began to turn away, still giggling as she and Tilly reluctantly released each others hands and Margot stepped inside.
Tilly watched her disappear through the door before she slowly turned around, still grinning and swaying slightly as she walked away. She couldn't wait to pick her up later and the idea of seeing her again, even though they had just parted, left her feeling giddy the whole way. Meanwhile Margot walked around the door immediately went to the window, peering out and watching Tilly walk away with a smile of her own.
She was so busy thinking and watching Tilly, she didn't even notice the woman that had begun following her.
