1978, Oxford College, The Dynamos' dorm room.
After a long drawn out goodbye, Rosie had left Oxford for the weekend. All the students had the next few weeks off for Winter Holiday Aka Winter break. Everytime one of the girls left it was heartbreaking even if it was just for a few days. When you spend 24/7 with each other it's so easy to forget how different life is without them.
Before leaving, Rosie had taken the longest shower. She spent the majority of it worrying about missing her train, and about how much she was going to miss her best friends. She was also dreading taking the train by herself for hours on end. She had done it a million times but that didn't make it anymore appealing.
After seeing Rosie off, it was just Tanya and Donna in the dorm. Tanya went straight to her bed to lay down while Donna rested her back against the door. "Well, I'm gonna go shower." She stated.
"Right now?" Tanya asked. "What if I wanted to?"
"Then you can wait until I'm done." Donna replied.
"But the water will be freezing! Rosie used most of it!"
Donna shrugged. "Oh well. I claimed it first."
"I have a date tonight." Tanya scrambled to get up so she could get to the bathroom before Donna.
"You have a date every night." She deadpanned. "I need this. I haven't showered in two days."
Tanya grimaced. "Ew. That sounds like a you problem."
"It is a me problem and it'll become a you problem if you don't let me shower first."
The two of them had a stare down until Tanya leapt over all three beds. She missed her footing as she was trying to get off of the last bed and onto the floor. Donna was in the process of running to the shower but was stopped when Tanya fell on top of her.
"Get off of me, you Sasquatch!" Donna huffed.
"Sasquatch?" Tanya gasped. She continued to sit on Donna's back. "Take that back!" She demanded.
"No!"
"No?" She scoffed. "Then I guess we'll be here all night."
"What about your date?"
Tanya took a moment to weigh her options. Would she rather sit on a sweaty, squirming Donna or go on date? She chose the date. She quickly got off of Donna and hauled ass to the shower.
Donna scrambled to get up and dashed after her. She grabbed the back of Tanya's shirt and pulled her back. "I told you I was going first!"
"And I told you I have a date!" She shoved Donna backwards onto one of the beds. Donna grabbed hold of Tanya's arm as she went down. She pulled the taller girl on top of her. Tanya was just about to use this to her advantage but Donna grabbed her hair.
Tanya narrowed her eyes. "Let. Go." She started to move but Donna gripped tighter.
"I'll pull. Say goodbye to your bob."
"You leave her out of this!" Tanya shouted. She wrapped her hand around Donna's wrist and attempted to pull her hand off. Donna had a tight grip and Tanya really didn't want even the shortest hair to be ripped from her head.
"Just let me shower first!" Donna commanded as she rolled until she had pinned Tanya to the mattress. She let go of her hair but pushed her back by her shoulders. "Stay." She said gently. She touched her cheek and started to get up. She was stopped when she felt Tanya's nails dig into her lower back. Her top had raised up to expose her lower abdomen.
"Do you mind taking your talons out of my back?"
"Do you mind letting me shower?" Tanya countered.
"Yes! That's why I'm not letting you do it!" She pushed Tanya's hands away from her and went to the shower. She tossed a throw pillow from the couch at Tanya to keep her at bay.
Tanya accepted her defeat.
Donna had shut the door and pushed the overflowing laundry basket up against it to prevent Tanya from ruining her shower. She had only been in for approximately two minutes before she heard the door being pounded upon. The laundry basket tipped over as the door was opened so harshly it hit the wall with a slam.
"Can I help you?" Donna asked, peeking out from behind the shower curtain.
"You're in my shower." Tanya started pulling her clothes off. She hopped in right behind Donna.
This had never happened before. Of course the Dynamos had seen each other naked on multiple occasions but never like this. It was usually when they were getting ready to go out and perform or when Tanya needed help squeezing into dresses she purposefully bought three sizes too small.
Donna sighed and handed Tanya a shampoo bottle. "Lather up. I'm about to condition."
"You condition?" Tanya asked.
"Yeah, how else did you think I get these beautiful curls to shine?"
"Donna, you don't even own a hairbrush. I really didn't think you did anything but wash it." She worked the shampoo into her own hair. She watched as Donna had to apply a lot more than she had. Having thick curls made all the difference.
Donna finished up her hair regimen and passed the showerhead to Tanya.
"The purple sponge is mine." She said as she handed the showerhead back to Donna so she could hang it back up. She thanked Donna for the sponge and grabbed her own soap which was closest to where she was standing. She lathered it on.
Donna sniffed audibly which made Tanya laugh. "What is that? It smells so good!"
"My mother sent it to me. It's Italian." She continued to wash up and handed the bottle to Donna. "Do you wanna use some?" I'm sure you need it if you haven't showered in two days. Didn't we have a show two days ago?"
"Sure." Donna used half as much as Tanya did. Tanya pour nearly the whole bottle out. "Thanks. Yeah I've been busy making our new costumes. It's hard turning old curtains into bell bottoms."
"Oh, I know. I used to do it all the time in high school." She pointed to the showerhead so Donna would hand it back to her.
Just as Donna was taking it down the water turned ice cold. Both girls started shrieking and as they tried to get out. Donna slipped in some shampoo and wiped out taking Tanya down with her. After a moment both of them opened their eyes. There were soap bubbles everywhere and water all over the shower walls and tiled floor. Both of them had felt like they had blacked out. In reality it had only been a few seconds. Donna had landed on top of Tanya. She pushed off of her and stood up to step out of the shower. She offered Tanya a hand to pull her up.
"What just happened?" Tanya asked as she wrapped a towel around herself. She rubbed the back of her shoulder. She had fallen right onto the edge of the tub. "I think I'm gonna have a bruise."
"I wiped out. Sorry." Donna already had a towel around herself. She handed a second towel to Tanya for her hair. Tanya did the whole towel twist thing while Donna wrapped it around her shoulders to let her long waves drip dry.
"It's fine. You know, I kind of want to stay in tonight."
"What about your date?"
"He's only middle class. I'll find someone else by tomorrow night. I'll call him later."
Twenty-one years later
"So that's the shower story?" Rosie laughed. She was laying in bed with Tanya. They were resting after a long morning out. It had been two days since Sophie's almost wedding and everyone was in bliss.
"That's the shower story." Tanya confirmed. She had her head resting on Rosie's stomach. Her mile long legs were crossed and bent so they wouldn't hang over the bed. "You know this would be much more comfortable in a bigger bed."
"Just push the other bed up next to this one."
"It's fine. I don't really want to. I'm about to move anyway." She sat up on the edge of the bed. She looked across the room at her reflection in the mirror on the wall. She combed through her hair until it was back in place.
"Where are you going?" Rosie asked. Tanya couldn't see her but she just knew she was pouting.
"Nowhere. I'm just moving to lay closer to you." She laughed softly as she turned around. Just as she suspected a firm pout was on Rosie's face. She leaned down to kiss it away, smiling at the taste of wine on her lips. "The wine tasting wore me out today."
"I can't believe we tried so many and it's not even dark out."
"That's good. It's means we can rest for a while before sunset. Donna wants us to come to the beach just before the sun goes down." She snatched the pillow from under Rosie's head much to her protest and laid it behind her own. "Quit whining. Come here." She opened her arms for Rosie to lay in them.
Rosie rested her head on her chest and sighed contently. "How can someone so thin be so comfortable to lay on?"
"Is that a compliment?" She laughed as her arms settled around Rosie's torso.
"I guess? You didn't like it?" Her eyes flickered up to Tanya's. "I think you're pretty." She tried.
"Now that's a compliment that I can accept graciously. Thank you." She pressed a kiss to Rosie's forehead.
"Did Donna really call you a Sasquatch?" Rosie wondered.
"She sure did."
"For the record, I don't think you're a Sasquatch."
"Thank you." She pressed her lips to Rosie's forehead as another thank you kiss.
"You're more of a Yeti."
Tanya grumbled and tossed a pillow onto Rosie's face.
"Maybe more of a- a giant, really."
"Tada!" Sophie and Donna said at the same time. They had set up the perfect date on the beach for Tanya and Rosie. Both blondes shared matching grins at the delighted expressions from the couple.
"What's all this?" Rosie asked. Her grin was as wide as the horizon and probably would stay that way until she fell asleep that night.
"It's for you!" Sophie cheered. She and Donna had a little tent set up along the beach with a table, string lights, soft music, and drinks of course. They would be having some of Donna's employees serve them later. "We're excited that you're together so we had the idea-"
"Sophie had the idea to plan the perfect beach date for you." Donna corrected. She wanted Sophie to take the credit for her work. She planned everything in one day.
"It's gorgeous!" Tanya exclaimed. "Thank you so much. Seriously, you didn't have to do this but I'm so glad you did. It's beautiful out here." Tanya gave Rosie a look and Rosie nodded. "But we can't have this all to ourselves. It's too much really."
"Share it with us." Rosie added. "Make it a triple date. You and Sky will be leaving in the next few days, Donna just got married, I finally learned what the stretchy leg does. We have a lot to celebrate."
"What's the stretchy leg?" Sophie furrowed her brows.
"I'll tell you later." Tanya chuckled.
Donna gave Tanya a look. "No, you will not." Donna clapped her hands together before speaking again. "This is your night. We'll all do something together tomorrow."
"If you insist." Tanya said.
"You didn't want to share anyway." Sophie teased.
"You're right we didn't. Bye-bye now." Rosie shooed them off. The mother-daughter duo left, linking arms and laughing as Sophie kept asking about the stretchy leg and Donna kept refusing to tell her about it.
Tanya pulled Rosie close to her as soon as Donna and Sophie were gone. She placed her hands on either side of her face and-
"Your hands are freezing."
Tanya kept her hands exactly where they were. "Stop it, I'm trying to be romantic." She pouted.
"What are you doing with your face? What is that? Is that emotion? Are you pouting?" Rosie laughed.
"Yes, I am." Tanya replied with an even bigger pout. "You're supposed to kiss it away."
"I would but you're so high up there. Hold on, let me get a chair." She teased.
Tanya shook her head and took her heels off. This brought her five inches closer to Rosie and that's all she needed. "Better?"
"Wow, you took your heels off for me. Rumor has it you don't even take them off for sex."
"Who told you that?"
"You did." Rosie chuckled. She finally pressed her lips to Tanya's. It was perfect, as always. Rosie's intention was to give her a chaste kiss but it quickly turned into something more. Just as she started to pull away Tanya was connecting their lips again. She felt a pull in her heart with a strength that rivaled the waves crashing against the shore.
Tanya couldn't stop kissing Rosie. She wished she hadn't have waited so long to do it again in the first place. When the need for air became too great they parted. Tanya rested her forehead against Rosie's and kept her eyes shut. She was doing this to etch the night into her memories just like she had the first time they kissed. "I love you." She whispered.
"I love you too." Rosie whispered back. She still couldn't get over the fact that Tanya was madly in love with her. Looking back it had been proven to her time and time again. This whole week it had been proven to her repeatedly. Their whole relationship made her feel like she was young again. Everything felt so young and new, fresh. It felt old, sentimental, and soothing. It felt like this was how it always was and always will be.
"Do you think we could put this on pause?" Rosie asked. She and Tanya had been holding each other under the stars. That was until a very heated kiss happened and now she had red painted lips on her neck and ice cold hands trying to pull her jacket off.
Tanya was confused but nonetheless put a stop to her actions. She and Rosie had sex for the first time two nights ago. "Is everything okay?" She searched her eyes for any sort of discomfort.
"Everything is fine. I'd just rather not do this outside."
"You've never had sex on the beach?" Tanya quirked a brow.
"Of course I have! Everyone has. This isn't my first island getaway."
Tanya laughed. "You know the bartender with the thick black hair?"
Rosie gasped. "Pepper? You didn't!"
Tanya smirked. "I did."
"You cradle robber!"
"Rosie, he's 27. He was 25 at the time."
"You were drunk, huh?"
"Very." She took one of Rosie's hands in her own. "Ready to head up?" She asked. When she received a nod she lead her up to the hotel and to their room. Tanya slipped a do not disturb sign on their door just to be sure no one- Donna - would bother them.
Neither of them bothered with the light switch. The moon shown through the curtains and illuminated the room enough for them. Rosie was mesmerized by the twinkling, blue jewels Tanya had for eyes. She couldn't help but lean up and kiss her again. This time she allowed Tanya to walk her backwards to the bed. As soon as her knees hit the mattress Tanya hovered over her, lowering her body down onto Rosie's. That's when Rosie stopped her.
"Wait."
"Yes, darling?"
"Lay back." Rosie instructed. She pulled her shirt off and waited for Tanya to complete her request.
Tanya nodded, normally she liked being on top but this newfound confidence Rosie had thrilled her. She laid back on the mattress and watched as Rosie straddled her waist. Her eyes slipped shut when Rosie left a trail of kisses from her lips to her jaw. She stopped to suck lightly on her neck. Her lips journeyed south until she reached Tanya's collarbones. She sat back to untie Tanya's wrap dress.
Tanya shivered when she felt her dress being pushed off her shoulders. As more skin was revealed to Rosie her lips inspected the new area, finding what Tanya responded to the most. She unhooked the front clasp of her bra and pushed the cups away from her breasts. Rosie took a deep breath to take in the sight before her. She leaned down to press her lips to Tanya's again. Her hands cupped her breasts while her fingertips brushed over hardened nipples.
Tanya moaned into her mouth. She was on sensory overload and they had only just started. She was beginning to understand why Rosie requested to be on top; to make love to her like she had just two nights ago.
That's when Tanya started to feel young again. Picture it.
Rosie with short, brown tresses and arctic eyes glanced down at her as their lips parted. She wasn't entirely sure what to do. This certainly wasn't her first time with Tanya but it was only their third time having sex and Rosie's first time taking control. Taking control of Tanya was not an easy job.
Tanya saw the hesitance as she looked at her through long lashes and blunt bangs that were starting to stick to her forehead. "Take your time with me. There's nothing you can do wrong."
Rosie nodded slowly and took Tanya's bra all the way off. She tossed it aside along with the dress and explored the rest of her skin. Her lips brushed over the line between her abs until she reached the waistband of a black thong. She snapped the thin fabric against her skin to test the waters.
Tanya gasped, excited to have Rosie touch her.
Rosie kissed her from hip to hip until she finally pulled the thin fabric from her body.
Rosie's eyes widened at the sight of her. Every single part of Tanya was perfect, right down to her beating vagina. She bit her lip at how wet Tanya was. Her heart fluttered seeing the evidence that Tanya wanted her.
"Please." Tanya requested, barely above a whisper. It startled Rosie. She hadn't pinned Tanya to ever beg. She would most definitely keep that in mind for raunchier activities.
"Oh, my love." She said softly. The soft sound of Tanya's whimper melted her into a puddle.
She let her fingers slide through her slit. She purposely avoided her clit for the moment. Though, she could tell it was desperate for attention; swollen, and peaking from its hood. She slipped a finger into Tanya and pumped it slowly.
Tanya released a breath, followed by a low moan of Rosie's name.
Rosie added another finger when she deemed Tanya ready for it. She saw that Tanya's hand was inching closer and closer to her. She stopped it, grabbing it and intertwining their fingers with her free hand.
That's when Rosie did something she never thought she could do. She used her mouth.
Her lips wrapped around Tanya's clit, sucking softly as she locked eyes with her.
Tanya's free hand gripped the sheets. Her back arched above the bed before laying back down. Her face contorted as she neared her orgasm.
"Rosie, oh my- fuck." She cursed.
Rosie could've moaned from the combination of Tanya's sounds, the sight of her beautiful face, and the feeling of her clenching around her fingers.
"Just you and me, baby. Cum for me." She breathed.
Tanya fell apart, tumbling over the edge with the help of Rosie. One hand was fisting the sheets while the other squeezed Rosie's hand.
"Oh." Her voice sounded melodic, the most beautiful song Rosie had ever heard- one she had helped to write.
She bit her lip as pleasure tore through her and continued to do so for a long moment until Rosie pulled her fingers out of her.
When she finally came down she tugged on Rosie's hand, silently asking her to lay with her.
Rosie wrapped her up in her arms, Tanya's cheek pressed to her chest. Her fingers gently played in her hair. "I love you." She whispered. She repeated it three more times as Tanya caught her breath.
"I love you too."
