It was a late night when Spencer decided to fly pass Emily's working spot on her way back to the Demon Center. The decision gave her a pleasure surprise when she saw the familiar intern stood there, looking confused.
"Why are you still here?"
Emily startled, looked up to Spencer who was landing. She sighed, scratched the back of her head.
"I missed the last public train."
"Why didn't you call Aria or me?"
"She just got back from a two months training, I don't want to bother her. And um…, what do you have to do with my situation?" Confused, Emily asked.
"Hello, I can give you a ride back to your place." Spencer said, spread her wings midsentence.
As Emily was contemplating the option, Spencer walked over, stood in front of her and faced her with her back. The demon signaled for the girl to get on but Emily stood still, hadn't come up with a decision yet.
"Do you wanna go home or not?" Spencer pushed, didn't bother to look over.
A long silent moment passed. When Spencer was about to turn around, a pair of arms wrapped around her neck. Smiling to herself, Spencer caught Emily's thighs when she hopped on her back. As they settled, she turned to Emily whose face was right next to hers.
"Ready?"
Emily gulped. "Are you sure this is safe?"
"I don't know."
"Wha –"
Spencer took off immediately after that, made the intern tightened her hold on Spencer harder. Emily closed her eyes, hid her face behind Spencer's head as the headwind blew against them.
The demon burst out laughing, turned her head, tried to see Emily.
"C'mon, take a look. It's not that scary."
Emily didn't move.
Spencer raised her brow, smirking. "Oh hello Aria."
Emily snapped her head up instantly. "Hi Ms. Mont…You!"
"Gotcha!" Spencer grinned. "C'mon, look! Don't you want to have wings just to fly like this?"
The intern took her eyes off of Spencer, gave the view a chance. Without knowing, the smile gradually reached her ears. The magnificent sight of this city at night had always been her favorite but this, the view from above beat it. The light from the street was long and shined through every corner. It kept going and going without a real stop. The light from buildings was a different one. A little bit here and there. Some windows had and some windows didn't. Each lightened one was a story and also each dark one. If the light from the street looked like an endless river then the ones from building looked like stars. Some brighter than others and some had never been lightened up once. Everything just seemed nicer at night and from where she was, the city looked like a painting. It was beautiful, quiet yet full of stories.
While Emily was contemplating the painting, Spencer was viewing her own, too. That was the first she witnessed someone was almost in tears just because of the view of a city. She chuckled.
"Are you crying?"
Emily sniffed, wiped tears at the corner of her eyes. "No."
Spencer smiled, turned her head back, let Emily enjoyed the flight in silence.
When they finally got to the Angel Center, Spencer walked with Emily to her room "to see how terrible this place is compares to the Demon Center". The road was long but it didn't seem like it to Spencer. Somehow, it was too fast. For her liking.
They stood awkwardly in front of the door for a while before Spencer managed to break the silence.
"So, this is your room."
Emily nodded.
"I guess it's time to go then."
Emily nodded, again.
The demon turned around, began to walk away but Emily called her back.
"Spencer."
Spencer looked back right away, as if she had been waiting. "Yes?"
"Thanks! That was…, the flight…, it…" Until now, Emily was still unable to find words to describe her feelings up in the air. She knew it would be amazing but it turned out more incredible than she had ever imagined.
"You're welcome." Spencer smiled, understood already.
Emily stared at Spencer for a long moment, her hand held the other tightly, her feet couldn't stay still.
Before Spencer could ask, Emily took a deep breath, stepped forward and placed a light kiss on Spencer's cheek. She stepped back immediately, pursed her lips. Her eyes flicked to meet Spencer's then back to the ground again.
"Goodnight."
She said quickly, walked really, really fast to her room, closed the door.
Spencer was stunned. She stood there like a lightning had hit her. The demon raised her hand to where Emily's lips had touched, mindlessly smiled to herself.
A good five minutes passed, Spencer knocked on Emily's door. There was clicking sound and Emily's face appeared behind a slightly opened door. The intern kept the light lower so Spencer couldn't figure the blush that hadn't gone away on her cheeks. She was so caught up on her own blushed cheeks to not notice Spencer's had been reddened as well.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"I just want to say goodnight."
"…"
"And um, since you really like to fly, I can, you know, give you a ride home again."
"That's really nice but…"
"It's on my way back to my center, too."
"…Then…, thank you."
"See you tomorrow?"
"See you tomorrow."
The door closed but Spencer hadn't left yet. She stared at the pure white door for another two minutes then knocked again.
Emily's face appeared just like the first time, this one, a bit more confused than before.
"Yes?"
"You don't have to kiss me every time." She gulped before let out quickly. "But it would be really nice if you do. Goodbye."
Spencer finished, closed the door by herself then ran so fast that the moment Emily had finally understood what she just said and opened the door to find her, Spencer was only a tiny dot flying in the middle of the sky.
Oh you little idiots!
AN: Tell me what you think?
