Pairing: Becalexis

"I am in love with your teeth."

Looking in the mirror, Alexis is not surprised to see yet another love bite from her girlfriend, right over the place where her thyroid gland pulses. She smiles to herself as she remembers their date from the previous night.

They'd gone to see some new movie called "Jenny's Wedding" about a young woman who comes out to her family and announces her engagement to the woman they thought was her roommate and their struggle to accept her as she is. It had been cute and funny and refreshing to see something about the struggles queer women actually had to go through when it came to be accepted by the ones they loved.

And it made Alexis feel blessed that her parents' reaction (well, her father, step-mother, and Gram, anyway) was completely positive. She blushes as she remembers the cake that Martha had baked (and burned) with rainbow frosting and her name in messy handwriting on top. Kate had told her about the girlfriend she'd had while she attended the Academy and her father had practically choked on his fork (and Alexis was certain it had less to do with the horrendous cake and more to do with the thought of Kate with a woman). His wife had glared at him and then rolled her eyes, mouthing "men" to Alexis and making the young woman laugh.

Castle hadn't really reacted in any other way than to tell Alexis that he loved her and welcome Beca with open arms. She's pretty sure he gave her the 'hurt my daughter and I will make your death look like an accident' talk, though; featuring Kate Beckett Castle and her Glock.

Still, it was infinitely better than what Jenny and Kitty had to go through. At least her father had accepted her right away. Her mother, however…well, that's a story for another day.

Besides, Alexis hadn't really been all that focused on the movie last night, not with Beca's teeth scraping over the sensitive skin of her neck, nipping and leaving indentations and bite marks all over her skin and forcing Alexis to wrap her scarf tightly around her neck as they left the theater, already getting looks from others for holding hands. Not that Alexis really cared anymore; not when she was with the love of her life.

She smiles at that and forgoes the cover-up she was about to apply over the only bite mark that hasn't faded since last night. In a weird way, the little mark—which she's like 99% positive was just Beca's way of letting the world know that Alexis Harper Castle is taken—is a sign of her girlfriend's love and affection. Hiding it would just be ridiculous in that sense.

Besides, Alexis thinks to herself as she heads out the door, cell phone and purse in hand, her neck bared to the world, she can always exact her revenge.

REVIEWS please!

Also, there's a link for a gofundme on my tag (which is linked on my tumblr page, cassiebones, right at the top) because I'm having trouble with financial aid and will likely not be able to attend college for my senior year because of it. It would really be a big help if you guys could share this link on Twitter, Facebook, or reblog it, even if you can't donate. Getting the word out helps a great deal. Thank you so much for reading!
