So, I wrote this short one-shot in honor of today being the 1-month anniversary of when me and my girlfriend first started dating. She's the most special girl in my life. Just like Clem is to Violet. :)


"Thanks for tonight Vi. It was really nice of you to plan this."

Violet felt her face grow warm at her girlfriend's compliment. The dim glow of the street lights not being bright enough to give away the red tint to her cheeks from inside the car as she drove. "O-of course, Clem. I-I wanted to do something special for you, because you're special to me."

"You're sweet Vi, even if you don't like to admit it." Clem smiled at her from the passenger seat as they came to a stop at a red light.

Violet turned away slightly embarrassed at the brunette's comment. "Just d-don't say anything to Louis. I'll never live that down."

Clem chuckled at her reply. "Sure, babe. I'll protect you from Louis's teasing." She smirked at the blonde. "I won't tell anyone how big of a softy you really are. Or how sweet you really like to be."

Violet's face burned as red flooded her cheeks. "Clem, stop. I-I am not."

"You are Vi. It was really sweet of you to plan this date for our anniversary. I can't believe it's already been a year since we've been dating." Then Clem leaned over and placed a quick kiss to Violet's cheek right before the light turned green once more. "And just for the record, it's adorable when you get embarrassed."

Violet let out a small gasp as her face burned hotter. She let out a nervous chuckle, trying to keep her focus on the road. "I'm gonna kick you out of the car and make you walk home." She threatened, trying to cover up her embarrassment.

Clem smiled at her. "You wouldn't do that. You love me too much." She teased.

Violet shook her head but smiled. "Maybe so."

The car then returned to silence, the low hum of the radio making itself present at the absence of noise. Violet listened to the upbeat tune kind of wishing for something slower to come playing out of the speakers. Tonight had been amazing, but there was still something that she hadn't checked off her list that she wanted to do with the girl beside her. Violet wasn't known for being the most romantic, but there was something that she had secretly wanted to do with the brunette since day one.

She gave a nervous glance to the buttons that lit up on the dash, as if she were worried about the radio blurting out her secrets. They were headed home now, but she wasn't ready to shut this night down just yet. She tapped her fingers against the steering wheel nervously, and she felt her breath hitch in her throat when the radio switched to a new melody. She knew this song, it was the slow song she had been both waiting for and dreading.

Violet's heart hammered in her chest as she listened to the slow instrumental beginning. Would Clem even like that idea? What if she rejected Violet's offer? She was incredibly nervous about going through with this, but she couldn't pass up a chance like this and knew that it was either now or never. She was going to make the most of whatever they've got.

Without saying a word she turned the car and pulled into the parking lot of the local Walmart, stopping at the far end where the lot remained empty of cars, and threw it in park. It was almost ten o'clock so the store didn't have it's normal chaotic feel to it without it's surplus of people. But even the lack of an audience didn't stop the blonde from feeling any less nervous.

Clem stared at the blonde puzzled. "Vi, what are you doing?" She was confused as hell, because she was pretty sure, 'taking a trip to Walmart' wasn't supposed to be part of the date.

Violet took in a deep breath before she worked up the courage to look over at Clementine. "There's um...there's something I've always wanted to do with someone I cared about...and never have."

Now Clem's interest was peaked, wondering where this could possibly be going. "What is it?"

Violet looked at the radio and heard someone start singing, then back at Clem. She rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Have...have you ever danced with anyone before?"

Clem let a smile break out on her face as she finally understood and she shook her head. "No."

Violet unbuckled her seat belt and pushed open her door. Then she walked over to Clem's side and pulled open the passenger's door. She extended her hand out to the brunette nervously, a clear blush across her face being illuminated by the various lampposts spread throughout the parking lot. "Do you want to?"

Clem looked to her outstretched hand and smiled. She looked back at the radio and turned up the volume until the music could be heard from outside the car, then she grabbed onto Violet's hand. "Will you show me how?"

Violet nodded, a bit too flustered to work up the words to say. But she took Clem by the hand and pulled her a few feet away from the car, her hands trailing to the brunette's waist and Clem's naturally making their way up behind her neck. With half the song gone, and one door open, both the girls started to sway to the music. The lamppost acting as more of a spotlight now, as the concrete lot became their dance floor. Slowly making their way around the car, moving their feet over the painted white lines.

Out of the corner of her eye, Violet can see a rent-a-cop rolling in a security car, as he patrols the area. It's yellow lights spinning and flashing in time to the radio singing. Then her attention is pulled back to the golden eyes of her girlfriend. She can hear Clem humming the very last verse and Violet smiles before loosening her grip and taking her girlfriend's hand and spinning her around by the Walmart sign. They pass over the painted white lines again before Violet brings her back in.

The song ends and both girls blush a light shade of pink at their proximity, as their faces are only inches away now. The two of them refusing to make eye contact for a few seconds, before Clem shyly meets Violet's gaze. "Thank you, for this Violet. This is... really nice. I..."

Violet watched as Clem looked away, embarrassed as her cheeks turned bright red. Violet smiled at how flustered her girlfriend was. She lifted her hand up to cup her cheek, getting Clem to look up at her once more, then she leaned in and connected their lips in a soft and slow kiss. She could feel Clem smile into the kiss and was happy to see that it still remained once they pulled apart. "You know..." She reached up and tucked a loose curl behind Clem's ear. "You're super cute when you're embarrassed too."

She watched Clem's face get invaded with red again and the brunette cleared her throat. "...Well...well, I-I guess t-that's okay as long as you think so."

Violet chuckled at her reply and with Clem's arms still around her neck, she pulled the girl back into the dance. She didn't care what song came on next, she didn't want this moment to end. They were going to make the most of whatever they got, even if it was just a slow dance in a parking lot.
