RRIIIINNNG!
The bell sounded, announcing the end of the class period and Cupid's time of truth: In twenty-five minutes, her show would start.
It was just luck that Miss Her Majesty the White Queen preferred to pay more attention to her drawings of porcupines with extravagant colors and bunnies jumping around a chess board than her class, giving Cupid the time to think what to do when the time for her show arrived. What was she going to tell Blondie? She had no idea. The would-be Goddess of Love was meant to help people listen to their hearts and find love, but the manual never said what should be done in case of falling in love with her BFFA-slash-roommate.
The winged girl stood by the doorway of her classroom, waiting for Blondie to arrive. Thank Grimm we have different class schedules, Cupid muttered to herself. It made it easier that she wasn't with the blonde. That way she could hocus focus better.
Or that was the idea.
Because she had nothing.
A headache was beginning to form by the time she caught a glimpse of Lizzie Hearts accompanied by a grinning Kitty Cheshire. Both looked content and further movement revealed they were holding hands. Yes, Cupid remembered that. The Princess of Hearts had come to her asking for love advice in a confidential fashion, and even when Lizzie and herself were considered the experts on love the other girl was left in blank when love hit her in the form of a mischievous grin.
The couple passed in front of her and stopped. Lizzie let go of Kitty's hand and both girls greeted Cupid with a kiss and hug, "Having a nice day?" the pink haired girl asked. Lizzie nodded smiling and Kitty purred audibly.
"It's been purrfect. We were on our way to gather some things for a picnic. Are you going to transmit your show today?" the feline asked in a rather curious tone instead of her usual teasing demeanor. She knew better than to mess up with the person who brought her and her Princess together.
"Yes, and today is special! But you'll have to wait to see it." the daughter of Eros beamed. Specially good or specially bad, she thought a bit grimly, in contrast to her words.
"We wouldn't miss it! Now, farewell dear friend, for a Queen has compromises to attend and off with your head!" Lizzie ended with her catchphrase and the pair resumed walking. Cupid let her smile down a little and heard a beeping from her purse. She retrieved her MirrorPhone and saw there was a hext from Raven.
Hey Cupid! Come meet us outside Home Evilnomics quickly before your MirrorCast begins, gotta tell you something!
Cupid's eyes widened and without thinking twice she fled as fast as she could towards the Home Evilnomics classroom, only slowing down when she saw Raven and Apple standing by the doorway, "Well, someone is clearly anxious about today, huh?" Apple commented when the winged girl landed next to them.
Cupid looked bewildered and Raven just chuckled. She gave her girlfriend a gentle bump on her shoulder and Apple giggled slightly apologetically. The pink haired girl couldn't understand what was happening, so she went straight to the point, "What is it you needed to tell me?" the words fell out a bit exasperated. And honestly, she was. In twenty minutes or less she'd be tangled between solving others love problems and dropping Easter Eggs for her crush to find while she was right beside her during her MirrorCast.
"Well, we needed to tell you that you aren't the only one who asked one of us for help." Apple said in a tone that indicated both happiness and slight mischief.
"What do you mean?" the girl's sight wandering between the other two. Cupid was now at the verge of an anxiety attack with Apple's suggestion.
"We mean-", Raven began, "that while we were away at breakfast Blondie asked Apple for help, concerning her newly-found crush..." Cupid's expression changed from anxious to nearly devastated. Raven, seeing this, quickly added "And guess which Greek Mythology character she's crushing on?"
Cupid's expression changed yet again, this time showing clear disbelief and sheer joy, "What?! Really?!" the winged girl nearly shouted, her eyes widened in surprise and sparkling with a hundred emotions. Inside her, it was pretty much like someone just ignited a pile of fairy dynamite.
"Yup! Raven and I agreed it was just cruelty to let you keep dancing around when both of you felt the same, so there you go!" Apple chimed.
"Oh my Grimm, I couldn't be more happy! But have you seen Blondie?" Cupid asked just a tiny bit eager. The blonde had Cooking Class-ics and haven't contacted her since she entered the classroom.
"Uh, no... We haven't since breakfast. Apple had Damsel-in-Distressing so she hasn't talked to her either." Raven looked away, rubbing her arm apologetically, "Wait, doesn't your show start in a few minutes? She has a guest appearance!" the purple haired witch saw the clock on the wall and gasped, "There's only fifteen minutes left!"
Cupid gasped as well and unlocked her MirrorPhone, dialing Blondie's number. She put on the speakers, only to hear her call landing in the voicemail.
The three girls looked at each other and with a single nod they all ran (or fled) in different directions in search for Blondie.
(MINUTES LATER)
Blondie was sitting on a bench in one of Ever After High's many balconies, sighing sadly. She had even turned off her MirrorPhone, hoping she could have some peace to figure out what to do. Nothing. Even when she could possibly write a book about Cupid, the blonde didn't seem to be able to put it into the necessary words in the mean time between now and Cupid's MirrorCast.
For the first time, Blondie Lockes didn't know what to say.
Seeing this and despite Apple's advice, the girl was just about to turn her MirrorPhone on and dial Cupid to cancel her appearance when a familiar voice yelled her name.
"Blondie!" Cupid's voice resonated slightly. She ran to where Blondie was sitting and hurried to envelope the girl in a tight hug.
"C-Cupid? What are you doing here? Doesn't your show begin in a few minutes?" the blonde questioned while standing up and returning the hug. Although this hug felt different. It conveyed need, relief, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
Cupid's muffled chuckle was the only response before the actual words came out of Cupid's mouth "I needed to find you first." the girl moved away from the blonde and casted a meaningful look and cupping Blondie's cheek with her left hand.
"Blondie, I want to tell you something but... I think it'd be better if I just show you." the winged girl bent forward and pressed her lips against Blondie's. The next Goldilocks'eyes widened in astonishment for mere moments, before closing them slowly and returning the much longed kiss.
Both girls felt fireworks explode in a thousand colors and soon Blondie's arms rounded Cupid's neck, drawing her closer as the kiss deepened and Cupid grabbed her face with both hands now.
Several moments flew by before the girls parted sporting matching smiles, with tinges of red adorning their faces.
Cupid was the first to speak. "I didn't realize how I felt until my head was cleared. But now it all makes so much sense... Blondie, everytime I see you, hear your name, or even at the slighest contact, this particular warm feeling dances within my core and I wouldn't have it any other way..." the pink haired girl admitted, her blush reddening even more.
Blondie let escape a small laugh and pecked Cupid on the lips quickly before speaking, "What you said... It's hexactly how I feel for you, Cupid. I didn't know how to phrase it, but now it results easy to say it feels more than Just Right. So...-" the blonde paused.
"So?" Cupid questioned, curious about what Blondie would say.
It''s now or never, Blondie decided, just ask her.
"Chariclo Arganthone Cupid, would you be my girlfriend?" the daughter of Goldilocks half-questioned, half-muttered.
The winged girl glowed in happiness and whispered "Yes." before smashing their lips together again.
" Aww! Congratulations, girls!" Apple's excited voice broke the silence and soon a cheery agreement followed. Both girls couldn't avoid giggling at being "caught" by their friends. They turned and smiles that put Daring's to shame met Raven and Apple.
The four hugged and laughed, until Raven said "Uh... Girls, believe me I hate to ruin this moment but... There's only two minutes left for Cupid's MirrorCast show and I think both of you have to get there before Humphrey goes mad."
Cupid and Blondie's eyes went as wide as saucers, the show! they remembered now.
"Holy Fairy Godmother! Hurry up, hurry up!" both girls sprinted down the hallways hand-in-hand, leaving Apple and Raven alone once again in the balcony.
"I think Blondie forgot her purse and MirrorPhone" Apple pointed the long forgotten objects laying on the bench and moved to pick them up before returning to the purple witch.
Raven rolled her eyes good-heartily and rounded her girlfriend's shoulders with an arm "C'mon, we can deliver them to her later. Let's go watch the show. I bet it'll be memorable, but first..." she closed the gap slowly and Apple met her halfway for a loving kiss.
Four heartbeats and Apple was dragging them the same direction Blondie and Cupid went off moments prior. "I think Cupid forgot she could fly..."
(MEANWHILE AT CUPID'S BOOTH)
Cupid and Blondie were sitting with headphones on their heads.
"Welcome fellow Fairytales, to the section where I try to help you solve your problems concerning love! Today we have a special person accompanying us, so say hello to our wonderlandiful guest, Blondie Lockes!"
Blondie smiled and waved elegantly at the camera, "Hello!"
A ringing sound filled the booth and Cupid chimed in, "First call of the day! What is it you need help with, annonymous lover?"
Blondie grabbed Cupid's hand and intertwined their fingers. The pink haired girl squeezed her hand in response and gave her a look of pure love, half-listening to the annonymous Fairytale on screen.
I love her, Cupid's heart fluttered like a butterfly.
Yes, I love her, Blondie's smile grew wider.
Both of them felt the warmth wash over them and embraced the feeling, knowing it wouldn't vanish as long as their hearts beated and their lungs breathed, falling into their love for each other happily.
