(Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, only the plot. Song is "Blue" by Troye Sivan. I don't own the song, Troye's beautiful self does. Italicized is Tori, Bold is Jade, bold + italics are the both of them. watch?v=ozKWaCgQxeI)
The bell had rung, and Tori dragged herself out of 3rd period, and towards her locker. Jade had been waiting patiently at her own locker, staring at Tori's. She played with the scissors on her locker door when she saw a blur of yellow in her peripheral. She looked up to find the half-Latina shoving books haphazardly in the locker. Tori closed her locker door, and caught Jade staring. Soft brown eyes met intense green ones. Jade sauntered towards Tori confidently, staring at Tori expectantly.
"Wrist."
"Well hello to you, too, Jade."
"Wrist."
"Fine, fine."
She held out her arm, and Jade grabbed it and pulled her to the Janitor's closet. She opened the door to the closet and walked in, pulling the disgruntled Tori with her. Tori stood near the wall, while Jade just barely slammed the door shut. Tori looked at her questioningly.
"Are you going to-"
"I'm not going to kill you, Vega."
"I didn't think you were gonna kill me."
"Well, sure ya didn't, darlin'."
"I. Don't. Sound. Like. THAT." Tori sighed, and looked around the closet. "Why'd you bring me here?"
"We need to talk about last night."
"You got scared," Jade narrowed her eyes at this, "and you cuddled me all night. What's there to talk about?"
"Fine, then why are you so grumpy this morning? You threw your books into your locker without care, which you don't usually do. Even wearing yellow, you don't look happy. You are wearing my least favorite color cause it's so freaking bright and happy, but you're not happy. Why?"
"Jade, it's nothing, really." Jade got closer to Tori, causing Tori to back up against the wall.
"Don't lie to me, Vega."
"Fine. It's Beck." Jade scowled at his name.
"What about Beck?"
"Beck.. well.. he uh.. he kissed me."
Jade's eyes widened in hurt, surprise, and anger. "When?" Her voice dropped dangerously low.
"This morning, while you were in English."
"Did you kiss him back?" Jade's voice had become shaky and she could feel the painful throb in the back of her throat, trying not to cry.
"No, I didn't. He got mad, and asked why."
"What did you say?"
"I said I didn't kiss him back because I didn't like him. I pushed him away because I didn't like him."
"Why wouldn't you like him? He's-" Jade had to pause before continuing, swallowing back a sob. "He's Beck. Tall, charming, handsome. What's not to like about," She sighed and looked at the ceiling, "him?"
"Because he's not y-" Tori paused, and corrected herself. "Because he's not my type."
"You kissed him on your first day."
"To get you back, nothing more."
"You nearly kissed him right before my performance."
"He was going to kiss me, and I pushed him away again."
"Why, though? If Beck's not your type, what is?"
"I don't know what my type is, but it isn't Beck. Anyways. He got angry with me for it, saying how you and him broke up so I shouldn't worry about treading on eggshells. I told him that wasn't why I liked him."
"You don't like him because he's not your type."
"Honestly, that's not even it."
Jade raised her eyebrows at this. "But you just said-"
"I don't like him because he isn't you! Okay?! I pushed him away because it wasn't him I wanted to kiss, Jade." She took a deep breath. "I didn't want to kiss Beck, because Beck isn't you. I know why the guys who asked me out constantly avoid me now, and I know it's because of you threatening them. But even if you didn't threaten them," she took a step towards Jade, "I still wouldn't have kissed them. Because it's not just Beck who isn't my type. My type? It's you."
Jade's breath hitched, and looked away. She took one look at Tori, and ran from the janitor's closet. Tori mentally cursed herself for doing that. Of course Jade didn't like her like that. It was Jade, she probably wanted Beck back, and that scared her off. She hid her head in her hands and sighed. The bell for 4th period rang, and she trudged her way to the class. She also happened to know Jade was in this class, too. Sat right beside her, too.
After 4th period, and a very silent Tori at lunch, Jade went to the Blackbox where the school's piano awaited her arrival. She had her head looking down, so she didn't see Tori already at the piano. When she looked up, she noticed Tori playing at the keys. She hadn't noticed her yet, so Jade leaned against the wall to hear her sing.
Love, it's hard, I know.
All your lights are red
But I'm green to go.
Used to see you high
Now I only see you low.
All your lights are red
But I'm green to go.
I want you
I'll color me blue
Anything it takes to make you stay.
Only seeing myself,
When I look up at you.
I want you
I'll color me blue
Anything it takes to make you stay.
Only seeing myself,
When I look up at you.
Jade, familiar with the song, approaches the piano and starts singing, too.
I can't say no.
Though the lights are on,
Nobody's at home.
Tori looks up, shocked, but continues on with the next few verses.
Swore I'd never lose control.
Then I fell in love with a heart
that beats so slow.
I want you
I'll color me blue.
Anything it takes to make you stay.
Only seeing myself,
When I look up at you.
Without you, I am color-blind
It's raining every time I open my eyes
I want you.
I'll color me blue.
Only seeing myself,
When I look up at you.
I want you
I'll color me blue
Anything it takes to make you stay
Only seeing myself
When I look up at you
They finished the song together, grinning like crazy. Jade leaned forward and stared into Tori's eyes. Tori leaned towards her, knees on the piano seat, supporting her weight with her hands on the piano. Jade's lips ghosted hers, and pulled away before Tori could continue.
"Gank." Tori mumbled, slightly grinning.
"Be ready at 7." Jade said, smirking at Tori's discontent.
"Gotcha." Tori pecked Jade's lips and ran out of the Blackbox with her victory.
