Tales of a Legacy
And here's a pairing I don't think I've seen before. You guys and your weird requests. :)
If you're just starting to read this chapter, be aware that I updated chapters 15-20. So you may have missed a few if this was the first one you started on today.

Title: Substitute
Characters/Pairings: NormaxChloe
Warnings: shoujo-ai
Norma puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. Chloe thought she looked sort of like a bright yellow balloon when she did that, but kept her un-knightly thoughts to herself. Instead she took another long sip of her alcoholic beverage that had a vulgar name she'd rather not say in public. It wasn't like her to get drunk, but Norma had insisted on having a girl's night out, oddly enough, without the other girls.
"Oh, come on! Why not!" Norma whined.
Chloe's response was a snappish, "I told you, he doesn't feel the same. I'm not going to force the issue." The glass was lifted to her mouth again, and the last of the bright blue liquid disappeared.
Norma pouted and stomped her feet. Chloe eyed her suspiciously scooted her chair away slightly.
"Why do you care so much?" Chloe questioned. "There's nothing that can be done, so forget about it."
Now Norma got a slightly devious look on her face. The look that clearly said she was plotting something. Norma snatched Chloe's arm and pulled her up and towards the dance floor. There were a few couples there already, but none of them looked as unusually matched as Chloe and Norma. Chloe found herself swaying to the soft beat. Clearly she was drunk enough not to be terribly embarrassed.
"You're a pretty good dancer," Norma remarked, wiggling her own hips. She wiggled right on over into Chloe's personal space and (inadvertently?) pressed her chest against Chloe. Oh, crap. Here it comes, Chloe thought, although she wasn't quite sure what 'it' was.
"We-e-ell," Norma drawled, batting her eyelashes at Chloe. "If you've really given up on him, then I don't mind being a substitute. It does get ever so lonely playing matchmaker all the time."
Chloe's still not sure if it was the booze or the way Norma felt dancing against her that made her say yes. It didn't matter anymore, because soon after Norma ceased to be just a substitute.
