It's been about a month since Wynonna left, and I decided to do what she said, and take Nicole to prom. But I needed to ask first, and I didn't want to do it all boring and just be like "hey, wanna go to prom with me?". So I decided to do one of those "promposal" things everyone talks about. There were a few at Purg High, but I guess it's because small town kids don't really care that much about prom. I feel like for about 95% of the kids at my school, prom is all about the sex. Getting a motel room, staying out all night. Getting drunk, maybe a little bit high, and having sex.

The cliche is usually that girls lose their virginity on prom night, because it's more "special" I guess? I mean, not that that's an option for me, either way. I've already lost mine, so that's not the reason I wanna go. I started to google ideas, with almost no luck. I mean, how am I supposed to even do this? This is absolutely ridiculous.

I sat on my bed with my laptop, scrolling through the web page of "promposal" ideas. I didn't find any that would work for me, and absolutely nothing I could make my own. I closed the page and shut my laptop down before closing it and setting it off to the side. I stood up and walked out of my room, going downstairs.

Gus was in the kitchen, making herself some lunch. She'd made a salad. Curtis was out with Champ doing some... scavenging, I guess? I didn't remember.

"Looks good," I commented, walking over to sit down at the table.
Gus looked up. "You want some?" She asked.
I nodded. "Sure," I answered.

Gus nodded and began to make me a plate. We sat in silence for a little while until Gus was finished. She brought both plates over and set them on the table.

"Thank you," I said with a smile.
Gus gave a nod. "Of course," she said. "You want a drink?"
"Yeah."

She went to the cabinet and brought out two glasses before going to the fridge to grab the pitcher of sweet tea. She brought the glasses to the table and set them down before pouring some tea into each glass. She put the pitcher back and then came to sit down.

"Any luck with the, uh... what was it called?" Gus asked once she'd sat down in her chair.
I took a sip of my tea. "Mm," I swallowed. "Promposal, and no. No luck, whatsoever. I just don't know what to do," I responded. I was completely at a loss. I didn't want it to be too cheesy, because I wasn't sure how Nicole felt about cheesy. I didn't want to take an idea from someone else either. I wanted to come up with something perfect. On my own.
Gus nodded slowly, beginning to eat her food. She chewed and then swallowed. "I'm sure Nicole will love anything you do," she told me.
I shrugged, pushing the lettuce of my own salad around a bit with my fork. "Yeah, I know. I'm just not sure what that's gonna be... It's so hard to choose." I took a bite.
"Well, you could always sing her a song," Gus suggested. She picked up her glass and took a sip of her tea.
I swallowed my food and shook my head. "Oh, no. I- I don't think so." I don't think I could do that.
Gus looked at me, confused. "Why not? You've always been a lovely singer."
I shook my head again. "I don't wanna embarrass myself. Especially not in front of the whole school," I refused. At this point, I think I was just making up excuses. But seriously, I've never sang in front of anyone who wasn't my family.
"So then do it in private. Does this... "promposal" thing have to be done in front of everyone?"
"I mean, I guess not... But it just seems so ridiculous to not do it in public. Like, why go through the trouble of putting it together, if you're the only two people who are gonna see it?"
Gus snorted. "To make it special, smartass. It's just as special, even if no one else sees it."

We finished eating our lunch in silence, and I began to consider what Gus had said. I mean, she wasn't wrong. The whole thing has still special, even if no one else saw it. After all, I wasn't doing it for them, I was doing it for her. Why did it matter if anyone else saw it?

I finished lunch before Gus did and put my plate in the sink. "Thank you for lunch, Aunt Gus." I spoke, giving her a kiss on the cheek before rushing off to my room.

I sat on my bed and grabbed my laptop one last time. I started searching for songs to sing for Nicole, and I was planning on playing guitar for her, but I remembered that I didn't have one- not to mention that I'm not even sure I know how to play anymore. I was deep in my search, when my door opened, and Nicole poked her head in.

"Hey, baby!" She greeted, startling me.
I jumped, closing my laptop. I let out an airy laugh. "Oh, hey. You scared me!" I replied.
Nicole walked into the room, closing the door behind her. "I'm sorry. Gus let me in. I knocked," she told me.
I was so into my research that I hadn't even heard her knock on the door! "Oh, sorry. I was just... working on something," I responded.

I grabbed my bag and slipped my laptop into it before putting it on the floor next to the bed. Nicole walked over to the bed and leaned over, kissing me. I kissed back and smiled at her when we pulled away. She sat down on the bed and looked at me curiously.

"What were you working on?" She asked me, looking a bit suspicious. I needed to distract her.
Instead of answering her question, I stared at her eyes. "You're so beautiful," I told her.

Nicole blushed visibly and cleared her throat. I smirked, gesturing for her to come closer. When she did, I pulled her into a passionate kiss. She responded immediately, gladly moving her lips against mine.

She pulled away after a few seconds and looked at me. "Well... That's one hell of a way to distract from whatever it is you were doing up here," she said.
I chuckled. "I'm not trying to distract you," I lied. I leaned in once more, trying to kiss Nicole.

Nicole smiled, turning her head to the side. My lips pressed against her jawline and she chuckled quietly.

I pulled away a bit and pouted. "I want a kiss," I told her.
Nicole looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you do?" She asked teasingly.
"I do," I responded. I tried to kiss her again, but she moved back. I whined one, pouting again.
Nicole laughed a bit. "I will give you a kiss, if-" She started. She watched me as I waited for her to tell me what she wanted. "If you tell me what you were doing on your laptop," she finished.
I sighed. I couldn't tell her what I was actually doing, so I needed to make something up... And quick! "I was watching porn-" I heard myself blurt out. I groaned, covering my face. Way to go, Waverly.

Nicole shifted awkwardly on the bed. "Oh- Well- Um- I-"
I moved my hands and looked at her. "Sorry, I just-"
Nicole shook her head, her cheeks red. "No, no. It's- It's fine, I just- Wow. I- I wasn't expecting that answer," she responded.
I shrugged, extremely embarrassed.. "I don't really... watch that stuff... I was just- God, I don't even know."

Nicole actually believed me, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I can't believe that was the first thing I said to her. I could've told her I was working on a letter to Wynonna or something, but no! I had to tell her that I was watching porn!

Nicole shook her head again, taking my hand. "Hey, it's okay if you do. I mean, it's alright to look at that stuff. I- I mean- I've looked at it a few times... It's totally fine, baby," she told me. Her voice was soft and loving. She wasn't judging me... It wasn't exactly a shock, but I was kind of surprised that she was so nice about it.
I looked down, sheepishly. "You have?" I asked, quietly.
"Y-yeah. When I was younger... I-I used to look at things... It sort of helped me," she told me.
I looked up at her. "What did you look at?" I asked.
Nicole thought for a second. "Um. Playboys? Things like that. Just- anything that had naked women in it," she explained.
"And now? Do you still... look at stuff?" I wasn't sure why I was asking, but I figured it was okay. I mean, she is my girlfriend, after all.
Nicole gave a shrug, her cheeks turning red again. "Um. Sometimes, I guess. I- I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back," she said. The last part was so quick, she seemed like she was panicking.

Nicole stood up and left, going into the bathroom so fast that I didn't even have time to stop her. I stood up quickly, planning to go after her, but I didn't even know what to say. I sat back down on the bed and sighed, my head swimming with so many different thoughts that I couldn't even keep up at this point. I grabbed my bag and pulled my laptop out of it, setting the computer on my lap. I dropped the bag on the floor and opened my laptop up.

Suddenly, I knew what I wanted to do for the promposal, but I wanted to wait to do it at school. Doing it where no one can see made it seem like I was ashamed of our relationship, when I really wasn't. I closed the tabs that I'd been looking at earlier and opened up a new one. My fingers hovered over the keyboard as I thought about what I was about the do. I typed in the web address of a porn site and pressed enter. The page loaded and I stared at it, swallowing nervously.

There were a few knocks on the door before it opened and Gus popped her head in.

"Just wanted to let you know that I'm heading out to the grocery store. Do you need anything?" Gus asked.
I looked up from my screen and shook my head quickly. "No, thank you," I replied. My heart was pounding. Please don't come over here. Please don't come over here.
Gus stood in the doorway, looking at me. "Where's Nicole? I sent her up here," she asked.
"Bathroom," I answered. I was fully prepared to slam my laptop shut, if she decided to walk over and look to see what I'd had planned for my promposal so far.
Gus didn't walk over. Instead, she nodded and flashed a smile. "Alright. Well, I'll be back in a couple of hours."

I gave a quick nod and she left the room just as Nicole was coming out of the bathroom. They said bye to each other and Nicole came back in, her face still a bit red.

I quickly close the tab and looked at her, swallowing a bit. "You okay?" I asked her, slowly closing my laptop.
Nicole nodded, closing my bedroom door behind her. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I just... I got a little, um- Well-"
I shook my head, holding up my hand. "It's okay. I understand. I- I'm sorry," I replied. I put my laptop back into my bag before setting it back down on the floor.
"Oh, you don't have to apologize, Wave."
"I do, actually." I looked at her. "I can't believe I told you about that... And then I kept asking you questions. I mean, I know that we agreed we wouldn't... do anything... for a while... It wasn't fair."

A few days after Wynonna left, Nicole and I had a talk. We decided that we shouldn't have sex or do anything like for a while. How long exactly? I have no clue. Nicole said my eighteenth birthday, but that's so far away... I don't know if I can wait that long, honestly.

Nicole nodded, making her way over to the bed. She sat down next to me and sighed. "I'm actually started to question myself right now... Like- Why did I think that was a good idea?" She laughed.
I chuckled, shaking my head at her. "Because of all the legal stuff, remember? I mean, you could get in serious trouble," I reminded her.
Her face fell, her expression becoming sad and worried. "Yeah, I remember... You're right," she muttered. She looked down.

I put a finger under her chin and gently made her look at me. "Hey, look at me. I love you, and trust me, the sex was amazing, but I'm not gonna risk you going to jail or something." I told her, looking into her eyes. I could see the sadness because we both knew that I was right. "If you get in trouble for sleeping with me, you won't be able to be a cop. You'd go to jail, and have to register as a sex offender. I am not doing that to you," I promised.
Nicole let out a sigh before nodding a bit. "Okay, baby."

I gave her a smile and leaned in to kiss her. My lips pressed against hers and I felt her kiss back. Our lips lingered for a moment before we pulled away, looking at each other.

Nicole's expression changed a little bit and she looked at me with mock suspicion. "Were you really watching porn?" She asked.
I laughed. "What do you mean?" I responded.
She shrugged, her expression shifting from mock suspicion to amusement. "I dunno, you just don't strike me as the "porn watching" type. You seem a little too innocent for that," she replied.
I snickered. After the things we've done, I found it hilarious that "innocent" was the word she'd used to describe me. "Innocent? Oh, Nicole, I think you and I both know I'm far from innocent."
Nicole laughed quite loudly at that. "Far from it, huh? We've done things, I'll admit that. But what we did was nothing compared to what goes on in some of those videos online."
I rolled my eyes. "Okay, fine. But I'm not innocent!"
Nicole chuckled, shaking her head. "Alright. Whatever you say, Waverly."

The rest of the night went by kind of slowly. Gus came home with groceries and made dinner for everyone. Nicole stayed for dinner, but went back home because it was Sunday night. When I went back upstairs to my room, I grabbed my laptop and finished planning out my promposal for Nicole. I kept thinking about what I was doing. It felt weird that I was going to be the one asking someone to prom. I'd always dreamed that I would be the one to be asked. It was all I thought about when I was with Champ. If he would ask me... How he would ask me. But I'm not with him anymore. I couldn't just sit and wait for Nicole to ask me. I wanted to be the one to do it.

I let out a sigh. "Time to get this together," I muttered.

I left Waverly's house and went home, feeling happy. Like, really happy. I was in love! Really in love, for the first time in a while. Well- not that long... It was just so strange, because after Shae, I didn't expect to find anyone else. We had a really exciting relationship, but it was mostly just fun. We didn't have any of the cute, fluffy stuff I have with Waverly. Especially because Shae and I completely fell apart in the worst way.

I walked up to my front door and unlocked it before stepping inside the house. I closed the door behind me and locked it, heading to my room. I opened my bedroom door and stepped inside. I turned the light on and stopped to look at the stuff I'd gotten for Waverly. A big teddy bear, a dozen red rose (cliche, I know, but red roses mean true love... I'm lame, okay?), and a sign that just read "PROM?" in big letters. Not exactly a grand gesture, but I didn't wanna do something big and cheesy just in case that's not something she liked.

I know we both agreed we probably couldn't go to prom together, but I mean, now that everyone knows we're together, why can't we?

So I'm gonna take a chance, and ask Waverly to prom. I just hope she says yes.

A/N: Oooooh Waverly and Nicole are both planning on asking each other to prom?

Hey everyone! Once again, so sorry for the late response. I'm working on a comic book, as well as babysitting for my mom at the moment, so I've been quite busy. Thank you all so much for reading this story, and I will try to get part two up as soon as possible! Let me know if you guys have any theories on how this is all gonna play out!

xoxo, LyricalDisaster!
