A/N: I'm real sorry for not updating sooner- I was supposed to be grounded from the computer for a week, but my Mummy (I love my mummy =D) managed to get my grounded-ness lifted, yet unfortunately, I'm now no longer allowed on during the week until passed 7:00 PM. So that means I have two hours of nothing-ness. Also, I had to have a blood test last Saturday, and for the rest of the day I kept feeling faint and dizzy. Not a good feeling. But it turns out I don't have a split personality, which my psychs (yes, psychs) suspected. Yay! Yay for me! But I have to have a CAT scan, and some weird thing that tests my brain impulses next week. Gah… Oh, well. I'm back again. Now enjoy!
Wow. What a boring disclaimer. Read it anyway: I own nothing. NOTHING! But one day, I shall rule all the pigeons! Mwahahaha, I shall be the pigeon queen! Or king! I haven't decided yet.
Warning: Merlin above knows why I'm writing this. But, fuck, some people can be so, er, stupid. Heh, I made someone cry by saying that have a fat mouth….Anyway, this contains femme-slash. I'm thinking this should be rated 'R', but I'm gonna try and avoid going into any details, and maybe, just maybe, people will be mature enough to realise that same-sex relationships are a fact of life. I, myself, am bisexual, and more than half my friends are mature enough to realise I am attracted to none of them, so maybe society can grow up to and realise there's nothing wrong with them? Hm? I love to ramble and bitch!
The cool water of Lake Marcus lapped gently around Devi's waist, the moon giving the quiet wood-like area a picturesque feeling. Tenna's car was parked a few feet back, the lights dimmed so both girls could see what they were doing, and keep out of harm's way, but not to wreck the feeling of fantasy. A half-empty bottle of vodka was clutched tightly in Devi's hand, both her and Tenna's clothes thrown over the car's hood in a clumsy manner. Taking a long swig of the liquor, she looked up at Tenna, who was currently resting against a log that had fallen across the lake, its branches creating elaborate patterns across the water.
'Ya' sure that's safe?' Devi called out to her friend, wrapping her free arm around her chest as she pushed herself deeper into the water, her feet tapping along the lake floor so she didn't fall into a hole or something equally dangerous. Her voice wasn't as slurred as she thought it would be, but it took a lot to make her tipsy, and it took a helluva lot more to make her drunk. Tenna had barely touched her bottle of vodka, and Devi figured it was for the best. Tenna drunk was something Devi didn't want to see any time soon.
'Why wouldn't it be?' Tenna called back, giving a long and lazy yawn. 'I don't think a crocodile or nothing is gonna come along and eat my legs.' She giggled loudly, which ended in a sigh. Turning her eyes to Devi, she gave a soft, content smile. 'You're so shy…'
Devi frowned, beginning to swim slowly over to her friend as she entered deeper water, allowing the darker water to cover nudity. 'What do you mean by that?' she asked, quirking a brow. Clutching a branch that protruded out of the log, she swung herself over to Tenna, keeping her chest below the water.
'Well, look at you- you're keeping yourself covered. I've seen you naked before- remember that time you got yourself drunk when we were back in high school at Amy's seventeenth, and you spewed all over yourself when we got back to your parents house, and ended up being sick for two days? And I gave you a bath, meaning I had to get you undressed, and see you naked? Now look at you- you're being all embarrassed!'
A blush fell over Devi's cheeks at the memory. Although it did indeed take a lot to make her drunk, she had drunk a lot of alcohol for most of the night, and Tenna had ended up taking her home. Devi was quietly pleased her parents had been out of town that weekend, being as when they returned, Devi was somewhat healthier. She also didn't touch any form of alcohol for the next five years. Giving a sigh, she finally spoke. 'Yeah, but that was because either you helped me, or I was to be stuck in clothes that stunk for two days. But now, I am still aware of what I'm doing, and… well, you're still covering yourself up.'
Tenna gave a shrug, and set her bottle on top of the log. 'True. But still-'
'But still nothing, honey. You're embarrassed too, and yet you go off at me for being the self-conscious person I am!' Placing her bottle next to Tenna's, she turned her head to face her friend. 'So don't you go and act all high and mighty!'
Tenna began to say something, but was quickly stopped as Devi let go of the branch, and tackled her with a loud splash into the water. A feeble fight broke out between the two, each of them struggling to see who could pin the other into the lakes edge for the longest amount of time until they promised to give up and admit they were wrong. It finally ended in Devi's victory, with Tenna's arms pinned almost painfully above her head, her wrists clasped in Devi's hands, and her hips pressed into the rocky wall by the other girls' legs. Devi grinned happily, and with her free hand, squeezed Tenna's cheeks.
'See? I'm always right!'
In that blissful moment, Devi almost forgot her sudden affection for Tenna. Almost. Biting her lower lip, she looked down, her hand dropping from Tenna's wrists. Tenna stared at her for a moment, her arms falling next to Devi's.
'What's wrong?' she asked softly, concern filling her eyes. Devi wanted to move away from Tenna, grab her clothes, and run away. Her blush that had appeared moments earlier was growing quickly, much to Devi's dismay.
'N-nothing…' she whispered in reply. No, she couldn't tell Tenna. No way; it would ruin their friendship, something Devi appreciated greatly. Yet, disbelief had begun to filter into Tenna's eyes, which forced Devi into confession. 'All right, it is something…'
At Devi's pause. Tenna prompted her. 'And that is…?'
With a sigh, Devi balanced herself by placing her hand behind Tenna, and on the bank. 'I… shit, this is hard… I think I like you.'
Tenna cocked her head. 'I like you to Devi. You're my friend, why wouldn't I?'
Lifting her head to meet Tenna's eyes, Devi shook her head. 'No… more then that. I think I like you, like you.'
Tenna paused, letting the thought process for a few moments. 'Ooh…' she finally let out. Devi nodded, and let go of her. As she began to pull herself away from her friend, Tenna's hand grabbed Devi's wrist. Turning, she raised a brow at the darker girl.
'Where're you going?' Tenna asked quietly. Devi could almost her the embarrassment in her voice.
'Well… I dunno. I just told you something really embarrassing about myself, I'm naked and I figured…'
'Devi, if… If you do… like me… Well I can understand why… I mean, you haven't had the best relationships with guys, and I'm your only real friend, no offence or nothin', so it's only obvious… you'd… grow to like me through time…'
Devi gave a slow nod, strands of purple hair falling in front of her eyes. 'I guess so…' She had never heard Tenna be so understanding- not that Tenna was cruel, and careless, she was just so effervescent all the time that Devi never thought about Tenna in an understanding way.
Giving a small shrug, Tenna pulled Devi back towards her, an arm wrapping around her waist. Shocked, but not retaliating, Devi let herself fall against her friend, her head falling into the crook of Tenna's neck. Closing her eyes, a small yawn escaped her throat, which soon turned into a happy sigh. Devi was now somewhat happy she hadn't forced herself to become drunk; this was one memory she wanted to keep.
A silence endured between the two, yet neither of them felt that they should speak. The water continued to lap on their bare waists, Tenna's hands gently rubbing Devi's pale back lightly. Finally, Devi made a movement. Looking up at Tenna, her lips pursed. Tenna looked down, her eyebrows raised.
'Mm?'
'Ten, could you do me a favour?'
'Sure… What is it?'
'Could you kiss me?'
And she did.
A/N: Yay… This hasn't finished yet, in case people are wondering that. I'm planning on bringing Johnny into this, because I just love him so much. Not like that, but in a 'He's so adorable and angst-ridden. I'm gonna hug him , even though he's gonna kill me later *hugs Johnny*' kind of way. Hehe… Okay. I'm done.
Review you lazy son of a bitch!
=D
