Aarya led Sarah through the hallways until they reached the courtyard, no one was there because it was the middle of 7th period. Aarya took them to a small outing and sat down, pulling Sera down between her legs. She pet her hair gently and told her how much she loved her and how wrong Mrs. Fay was into her ear. She then gently pressed a kiss to Sera's head. By now Sera had stopped trembling and was cuddling into Aarya and leaning into her touch.
"Why don't they understand Aarya? How can they think that this is wrong when it feels so right?" Sera asked quietly.
"Because," Aarya replied, pressing a kiss to Sera's forehead. "They don't believe in love, and as such, they will never find their soul mate like we have." Aarya's eyebrows creased. "Actually, I feel bad for them now that I think about it. They most likely will never feel as whole as we feel around each other. It's kinda sad."
Sera paused to consider this. "I suppose you're right, it is sorta sad." Sera turned back around so that her back was to Aarya's front and leaned back into her. Aarya's back rested against a wall and they stayed like that for the rest of the period.
When the bell rang Sera got up first, extending her hand to Aarya who gladly took it. She had bad knees so she accepted the help up and then squeezed sera's hand gently before wrapping her hand around Sera's waist, pulling her into a hug. Sera's arms snaked around Aarya's neck and she tentatively kissed her on the lips. Then she blushed and pulled away, ending their embrace. Aarya then grasped Sera's hand in her own and headed to their shared locker. They took their books out and headed down to the band room to wait for practice to start. The band room was the only place besides the library and Courtyard where Sera felt safe. The band was just a big family and they all accepted that "those two guardie girls" were in love.
They dropped their stuff into a corner near the guard closet and sat down in chairs near to the door that lead to the outside. It was late September now and the weather was pleasantly cool, but not cold yet. Their captain came in and smiled at them. Kaylin was always nice to them and they were good friends. Well the entire guard was a tight knit group and they all cared for each other very much. Kaylin walked over to them and pulled up a chair in front of them, grinning.
"Hey Kay, what's with the good mood?" Sera asked curiously.
"Well, since you asked…Lewis just told me that our uniforms finally came in!" Kaylin said excitedly. Aarya groaned.
"We're gonna have a dress rehersal today arent we?" She asked in a whiney voice.
"Of course!" Kaylin said still grinning. "It'll be great, and I can't wait for all of us to finally see them, Lewis said they look amazing."
Sera turned to Aarya and smirked. "Just think Aarya! You'll get to see me in spandex..." Aarya complained no more about the subject.
