All She Wanted
-A Lesson in Dance:
Maleficent is having the time of her life teasing Regina about the way she got all dominating when she was drunk, and Regina is forced to put up with endless hints and crude jokes.
,,One of these days you will stop finding it funny," Regina grumbles annoyed.
,,Never," Maleficent vows teasingly. ,,You may have split yourself from the Evil Queen, but she left certain preferences behind."
Regina lets out a long suffering sigh. ,,I was drunk, alright? I'm hardly responsible for my actions when I'm drunk."
Maleficent sniggers and kneads Regina's arse, which could have been nice if Regina weren't so ticked off at the moment.
,,Stop doing that," she scowls and pushes Mal's hand away.
,,Is that a fancy way of saying "don't touch me"?" Maleficent teases and makes yet another reference to Regina's behavior said night.
,,For god's sake, let it go already!"
,,I'm sorry, I just find it rather amusing that you get dominating when you're drunk."
,,I'm always dominating dear."
,,I meant in the bedroom," Mal chuckles and bats her blue eyes at Regina.
,,Well, you can't always be the one who calls all the shots. I simply took charge," Regina huffs.
,,That you did. You should do it more often. I liked it."
,,Yes, I know you get off on seeing me making a fool out of myself."
Maleficent folds her arms over her chest. ,,Did you hear me laugh at any point?"
,,I suspect it was the element of surprise." Regina deadpans.
,,Oh, I was surprised all right, but I didn't find you funny."
,,You were drunk. I assure you, you will laugh if I ever attempt to do something like it again."
Maleficent raises an eyebrow and smirks at Regina. ,,Does that mean it will happen again?"
,,Don't get your hopes up, my dear. It won't." Regina says sternly.
,,Why not?" Maleficent pouts.
,,Because I'm embarrassed, obviously."
Maleficent quickly wraps her arms around Regina and pulls her closer. ,,Don't be embarrassed. Seriously don't. It turned me on."
,,You're embarrassing me again."
,,I mean it. You were quite… sexy."
Regina snorts with laughter. ,,I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that word."
,,Why not? You were sexy. And you are sexy. I always find you sexy, but that night was something entirely different."
,,Well, now you know I still have quite a few tricks up my sleeve."
,,Mmm, I would very much like to see those tricks again."
,,And here I was, thinking that the Mistress of all Evil was the dominating one. But apparently, I got that wrong. The Mistress of all Evil is a closeted submissive," Regina laughs hysterically and nudges her forehead against Mal's chest.
Mal sniggers a little at that statement, but then she removes her hand from the brunette's back and gives Regina's bottom a half hard swat, which makes Regina yelp in surprise.
,,I'm not that submissive, my dear," Maleficent assures her darkly but with a twinkle in her blue eyes.
,,I'm not sure I'm comfortable with you doing that, either." Regina confesses and winces slightly.
,,It was too tempting to resist," Maleficent teases. ,,And you were the one who started it by spanking me."
,,Why do you have to bring that up all the time? I was drunk."
,,Possibly. But you admitted the next day that you like spanking," Mal smirks at her.
,,I was still drunk when I made that confession," Regina scoffs.
,,No you weren't."
,,Yes I was. If I wasn't, I was too hungover to know what I was saying."
,,That's bullshit."
,,Okay, can we try to stay focused here? There's only three days until the wedding," Regina snips and tries to change the subject. And to turn Mal's attention away from the whole spanking thing.
,,What's left to find out?" Mal sighs. ,,We both know what we're going to wear. We have a place for the ceremony and we have invited all the people we want present."
,,Perhaps, but I still have a town hall to transform into an appropriate place wedding."
,,You'll manage."
,,You don't give a damn, do you?"
,,No," Maleficent admits with a grin. ,,The only thing I'm interested in is the "I do's" and the wedding night."
,,Right. Of course. How very predictable."
Maleficent flashes her a sly grin. ,,Actually, there is one more thing I'm interested in."
,,And what's that?"
,,The first dance."
Regina mutters something incoherent. The first dance as a married couple. How could she have forgotten about that? She's well aware that there is a first dance after the ceremony, but she'd just completely forgot about it. Had been so busy with the dress, the flowers and god knows what, so the thought about the first dance completely escaped her mind. She's never had a first dance. Leopold sure as hell never danced with her. Well, there had been that ball in Camelot where she and Robin had danced, but that's hardly the same as dancing at a wedding.
,,What's that supposed to mean?" Mal teases and repeats the incoherent nonsense Regina just said.
,,I don't really dance," Regina shrugs.
,,Sure you do. I saw you dancing on that table."
,,That's hardly comparable to the first dance," Regina scowls.
,,Hmm." Maleficent cocks her head and stares at the brunette for so long that Regina starts to feel slightly paranoid.
,,What?" she asks.
,,You can't dance, can you?" Mal asks with raised eyebrows.
,,A tragedy really," Regina chuckles. ,,A former queen who can't dance."
,,Nobody ever taught you?"
,,Not really. I mean, David tried once, but I wasn't very good."
,,Prince Charming tried to teach you how to dance?" Mal chuckles lightly.
,,It was an emergency," Regina sighs.
,,Maybe you simply had the wrong teacher," Mal starts and tilts her head at Regina again.
,,No way." Regina dismisses without hesitation. ,,You are not teaching me how to dance."
,,Why not?"
,,Because it's humiliating."
,,Regina dear, I'm about to become your wife. Nothing is humiliating between us anymore."
,,Then because it's silly."
,,So is table dancing. And drinking. And one night stands. But guess what?"
,,What?"
,,People do it anyway. And I'm teaching you how to dance right now."
,,No you're not," Regina dismisses and folds her arms across her chest and sinks further into the couch.
,,Oh yes I am." Maleficent assures and pushes herself up from the couch.
,,Dancing require music."
Maleficent simply scoffs and waves her hand. A second later, her phone appears in her hand and she frowns slightly as she scrolls through it. ,,Let's see if I don't have some dance appropriate music in this thing."
,,What kind of music is the Mistress of all Evil even listening to?" Regina wonders and grins.
,,Mostly songs I've heard in movies. My music knowledge isn't that good yet."
,,So you're expecting me to dance to movie music?"
,,Yes I am. Ah yes, here it is," Maleficent grins triumphantly. ,,I heard this in a movie Lily and I watched some time ago."
Regina watches as Maleficent turns the volume on her phone up and then a song floats into the living room:
"Now I had the time of my life,
No, I never felt like this before.
Yes, I swear, it's the truth, and I owe it all to you.."
Regina waves her hand and makes the music stop. ,,Tell me you're kidding right now."
,,Why?" Maleficent frowns at her. ,,Don't you like it?"
,,It's a fine song," Regina assures. ,,But it's just so.."
,,What?"
,,Cliché." Regina says plainly. It really is a huge cliché.
,,So what?" Maleficent sighs. ,,I don't give a damn about clichés."
,,I do," Regina says firmly.
,,Stop being so worried about what everybody else thinks."
,,Not possible."
,,Regina Mills, you are the most impossible woman I have ever met.."
,,..Good."
,,Now get up from that damn couch and dance with your future wife!" Maleficent huffs and more or less hauls a reluctant and groaning Regina up from the couch. Regina grits her teeth as Maleficent re-starts the music:
"Now I had the time of my life,
No, I never felt like this before.
Yes, I swear, it's the truth.."
Regina has to muster all the strength she has not to protest as Maleficent wraps her arms around her and they start to move slowly to the music.
"And I owe it all to you,
'Cause I…"
,,Seriously?" Regina half groans half chuckles as Maleficent brings the brunette's arm up and drapes it loosely around her neck as she runs her finger lightly down Regina's arm and side.
"…Had the time of my life.."
,,Why not," Maleficent scoffs and gives Regina a teasing peck on the nose. ,,It looked amazing in the movie."
"..And I owe it all to you."
Regina doesn't really get the chance to argue or call it a cliché before the beat gets faster and Maleficent spins her around.
"I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me.
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy"
,,Well, I guess you could call it a magical fantasy," Regina deadpans.
Maleficent chuckles and spins them around once more.
"Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something…
This could be love, because.."
Regina tries her utmost at hiding how much she's enjoying this, and fails utterly. The smile blossoming on her face has already given her away, and Maleficent grins triumphantly as they move in perfect tact to the music.
"I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you."
,,We probably shouldn't dance like this on our wedding day," Regina remarks with a slight smirk as Mal pulls her even closer so they're basically grinding against each other.
,,Why not? It worked in the movie."
,,Might have. But I don't think our guests would appreciate it very much."
,,Do you appreciate it, Regina?" Maleficent teases.
"'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth…"
Regina shrieks in surprise when Maleficent sweeps her off her feet, and spins her around.
,,Hey!" she protests.
,,It's hardly my fault you're lift-able," Mal smirks.
,,That's… not even a word," Regina mutters.
"And I owe it all to you..
"Hey baby, oh yeah yeah yeah
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes, I know what's on your mind when you say
"Stay with me tonight" (stay with me)
And remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love.."
They dance and dance and dance, and Regina must admit that this is very fun. Maleficent is quite the dancer actually. For some reason, she knows all the steps to this particular song, and of course, Regina can't be completely sure, but she thinks she's doing a fairly good job with keeping up. She hasn't stepped on Mal's toes yet, and she is following the rhythm quite nicely. The only problem is the big, stupid grin on her face. She'd sworn she would never dance again after the ball in Camelot, and here she is, dancing. Dammit. Maleficent is breaking all her walls down one by one.
"Because I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
(Never felt this way)
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh, oh
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before (never felt this way)
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you.."
,,Is this the part in the movie where the leading characters kiss?" Maleficent asks nonchalantly.
,,Yes, I think it is," Regina confirms, slightly out of breath from dancing.
,,Well, in that case…" Maleficent smirks and pushes a strand of hair behind Regina's ear. Then she leans forward and brushes her lips against Regina's.
Regina returns the kiss and chuckles. Maleficent can't resist the temptation and lifts Regina up so her feet leave the floor again.
,,You are such a cliché," she laughs as Maleficent sets her down on the ground again.
,,Am not," Maleficent huffs. ,,You are just extremely small, my beauty."
,,I am not small," Regina says indignantly. ,,Do you think anybody would have been afraid of me back in the Enchanted Forest if I were small?!"
,,Why do I get the feeling you wore ridiculously high heels in the Enchanted Forest?"
Regina wants to protest and argue and tell the dragon that she was scary whether she wore heels or not, but she completely forgets all her good arguments when Maleficent guides them both back into the couch and Regina finds herself on top of the blonde…
