Author's note: That friends one: part II. Whatever tattered shreds of shame I had left are now well and truly gone. Also, for the latter bit of the chapter think that scene of Sarah in studio 60. That's all for this set of one-shots, I hope you find me as amusing as I find myself.

Misty sat at the bottom of the steps, practically vibrating with excitement as she waited for Cordelia to return. Zoe stood nearby, her frown deepening with every cough or sniffle that came from the swamp witch, she'd practically begged her to stay in bed but Misty was having none of it, she'd even tried telling her that the rest of the girls would know something was up if she continued being about as subtle as a train wreck. Still, nothing would sway her decision to eagerly await the headmistress' return.

She checked her watch, brows furrowing.

Ten minutes late, c'mon 'Delia how long are ya gonna take.

Cordelia hurried up the driveway, fumbling with her bags in her rush to get into the house. She paused for a minute at the door, attempting to keep her composure through the excitement bubbling up at the thought of being reunited with her lover. (Despite the many many times she's reminded herself that this is quite ridiculous and that she is not a teenage girl anymore.)

Misty found herself pacing impatiently, staying still had just become too much, when she heard the door opening. She froze, turning towards the sound, her stomach was a mess of butterflies and her breath caught in her throat. Having to fight down every urge she had to run towards Cordelia and pull her into an embrace, she settled for walking swiftly towards her, stopping abruptly a couple feet away before she forgot herself and just pulled her in. God she'd missed her.

The headmistress had to remind herself how to breathe when she met her lover's gaze, she was looking at her with such intensity that having to stop herself from kissing her right then and there was becoming a problem.

Misty raked her eyes down the other woman's body;

"Miss Goode, can I see ya in your office for a minute, there's somethin' very important we need to discuss."

The tone of the younger witch's voice sent a shiver down Cordelia's spine, she glanced over at Zoe, who was currently bright red and attempting to look anywhere except at the two of them (she made a mental note to talk to Misty about that later) Before clearing her throat.

"Right, my office, yes."

"I've really missed ya Delia." Misty mumbled in between kisses, the two were currently pressed against the inside of the door in Cordelia's office, having made the seemingly mutual decision to crash their lips together the second they were inside.

"It's only been two days Mist"

Cordelia let out a low groan as Misty sucked on her pulse point.

"Two days too long" She all but growled.

"If this is my welcome back then maybe I should go away more often." She gasped out, pulling the swamp witch closer

Suddenly Misty pulled back, a thoroughly displeased look on her face, Cordelia was about to ask what was wrong when a loud sneeze erupted from the younger girl, followed by a spluttering cough. The headmistress frowned;

"You're still sick."

Misty chose not to reply, instead backing her way towards the desk, letting her dress fall to the floor.

It was in that moment that Cordelia really couldn't bring herself to mind.

Snapping her book shut, Zoe let out a sigh, it was getting hard to concentrate around Madison and Queenie's arguing. Things were so much easier when nan was around to act as a mediator.

"Listen bitch last thing I heard I was the one on the council, I should just go talk to Cordelia about this, see how she likes it"

"Fine by me, in fact, lead the way!'

Thinking of opening her book again, relieved at the promise of quiet, Zoe watched them leave, presumably headed towards the headmistress' office. Her eyes widened, the headmistress' office, shit.

She moved to run after them, blocking them in their path as they backed her towards the door, she tried to ignore the muffled noises coming from inside the room;

"Wait, guys, is this really worth bothering Cordelia over? We should probably all just-"

The two stopped in front of her, sharing a questioning glance, before Queenie moved past her, reaching for the door handle;

"What is your problem, we're only gonna be a minute." She swung the door open, not noticing the sounds that were now quite obvious nor the way Zoe was blushing scarlet. "Cordeli- Oh."

At the sound of the door a very incredibly naked Cordelia and equally-as-naked Misty jumped apart, practically falling over each other in their scramble to find any of their discarded pieces of clothing - or y'know, handy pieces of furniture - to hide cover themselves with. A few seconds later and the room is silent, on one side Queenie stands speechless - flanked by a very guilty-looking Zoe, and by Madison whose hand is tightly clamped over her mouth to keep in her laughter. In front of the desk stands an incredibly embarrassed looking Cordelia, who by now has covered herself with a conveniently placed textbook and her right arm, and behind her is an ever so slightly smug looking Misty, who has covered herself with, well, Cordelia.

Madison rolled her eyes, not even bothering to disguise her shit eating grin.

"I really don't hate to say I told you so."

Fin.
