A/N: I don't own anything other than my original character
It had been three months since Evie started attending Dragon Hall and in the four weeks since she'd confessed her feelings to the blonde, Lefi had stopped interacting with her in any way, though Mal made sure to pick up her sister's slack and mess with her. Although she wouldn't admit it, Evie was desperate for some contact with the blonde, but every time she tried to talk to her, Lefi would walk away.
Currently, Evie was on her way to her Weird Sciences class when she decided to stop in the bathroom and check her makeup. She knew that she'd be seeing the blonde in her next class and wanted to make sure that she looked good. Walking into the bathroom, the taller girl bit her lip as she saw Lefi inside. "Hi." she whispered, causing her to look up.
"Hey, Princess." the blonde said. The taller girl smiled shyly. "What's wrong with you right now?"
"Nothing." Evie whispered, stepping up next to the girl. Watching Lefi, she tried to find the words that she wanted to say to her, but couldn't.
Realizing that she could express herself better with actions rather than words, Evie pulled Lefi into a kiss. When she felt the blonde kissing her back, she allowed herself to smile against her lips. After a few moments, she felt a hand on her cheek while another tangled in her hair, pulling her closer. Her hands on Lefi's hips, Evie gently pushed until the blonde's back was against the wall. After a couple of seconds, she hooked her index fingers through the belt loops on Lefi's pants, pulling her impossibly closer. Finally, Evie realized she was struggling to breathe and - as much as she didn't want to - pulled away from the blonde, resting her forehead on the other girl's. When they broke apart, Evie smiled shyly as she looked at Lefi only to frown when she saw the expression on her face. "Lefi..."
"What just happened?" the blonde whispered. Evie bit her lip as she stepped away, giving the girl her space. "Evie, what was that?"
"It was... It was a kiss." Evie replied. Lefi shook her head in confusion, causing Evie to realize that that wasn't what she'd meant. "Lefi, you know how I feel about you and... I know how you feel about me."
"I've never said anything to you about that.." Lefi pointed out. Evie definitely noticed that the blonde didn't deny having feelings for her, but decided it was best to not point that out. Instead, she reached for her hand, smiling when Lefi didn't pull it away. "Evie, what are you doing to me?"
"I'm trying to love you." Evie whispered, earning a surprised look from the other girl. "Please let me."
"I don't know how to do that." Lefi admitted softly. A small smile on her face, Evie raised her free hand to the blonde's cheek, running her thumb over it gently.
"Let me help you." she whispered, pulling the girl into another kiss. Resting her forehead on the blonde's, Evie closed her eyes. "I love you, Lefi."
"I..." Trailing off, Lefi watched Evie for a moment before stepping away from the blue-haired girl. "I can't do this."
"Lefi..." Evie whispered, watching as the blonde left the room quickly. When the door closed, she let out a big sigh; she couldn't help but wonder if she'd just ruined her chances with the girl.
After a week of Lefi avoiding her, Evie was walking out of the school when she saw the shorter girl standing in the alleyway. Taking in the blonde's relaxed posture – something she was positive she'd never seen on the girl before – she smiled softly. "Hi." she said. Hearing the new voice, Lefi jumped; Evie could practically see her guard go back up.
"What do you want?" The taller girl chuckled.
"You've been avoiding me." Lefi shrugged. "I want to talk to you about what happened last week." Evie explained, stepping forward.
"I don't know what you're talking about." The blue-haired girl rolled her eyes, invading Lefi's personal space. "What are you doing, Evie?" Lefi asked softly.
"I'm not doing anything. What happens next is up to you." Evie whispered. The blonde bit her lip, looking away before pulling the girl into a kiss. When they broke apart, Evie immediately wrapped her arms around Lefi's waist. "You're not running away this time."
"I wasn't going to." the blonde whispered, smiling shyly. Hearing a commotion outside of the alleyway, she pushed Evie behind the dumpster, shielding them from the street.
"Romantic." Evie said sarcastically, a playful smile on her face.
"I aim to please." the blonde replied. The taller girl chuckled before looking back at the blonde.
"Lefi, what does this mean?" she asked carefully. Thinking for a moment, Lefi looked up at Evie.
"I want to try… dating? I think that's the word. I've never felt this way before, I'm not sure what it's called." Evie nodded.
"That's what it's called." she said, smiling softly. Lefi smiled.
"I want to try dating." she repeated, earning a wide grin from Evie. "Is that something you want to try?"
"Absolutely." Evie whispered. Lefi bit her lip to keep her smile from growing too wide. "Lefi… You're sure about this, right? I mean… Mal's not going to like this."
"About that…" Evie raised an eyebrow. "Can we keep this between us for a little bit?" Lefi asked. Evie's smile dimmed slightly. "Just until we figure everything out." After a few moments, the taller girl nodded.
"I just want to be with you." she said, kissing the blonde's cheek. Lefi smiled at the contact, leaning into the other girl. "Okay, we won't tell anyone." Evie whispered, a soft smile on her face. Lefi nodded, holding the girl close. "Do you want to go somewhere?"
"I actually have to meet Mal, but what about tonight?" the blonde suggested. Evie nodded. "I'll meet you here at seven, Princess."
"Perfect." Evie whispered, kissing the blonde. Pulling away, Lefi smiled softly.
"I have to go, but I'll see you later." she said. The taller girl nodded, watching as Lefi walked away. A wide smile on her face, she squealed before composing herself. Taking a deep breath, she walked out of the alleyway.
Later that night, after hours of waiting excitedly, Evie snuck into the alleyway, leaning up against the wall behind the dumpster as she waited for her new girlfriend.. After almost twenty minutes had passed, she looked at her watch and sighed. "How could I have been so stupid?" she whispered, shaking her head at herself before running a hand through her hair. Just then, a familiar blonde appeared.
"What are you mumbling to yourself, Princess?" Lefi asked with an amused smirk on her face. Looking up in surprise, Evie grinned. "Why do you look so surprised to see me? I'm the one who asked you to meet me here."
"You're almost twenty minutes late, I figured you weren't coming." Evie admitted. Lefi chuckled.
"Mal and I were spray painting a building, it took longer than I thought it would." she explained as the taller girl walked over to her.
"I'm really glad you came." Evie whispered as she hugged the blonde. Lefi smiled.
"I don't want to be anywhere else, Princess." she replied honestly, pressing a kiss to her cheek. Pulling away, she took a step back.
"So what did you want to do?" Evie asked. Lefi looked around, pointing at a nearby ladder. "I don't know what to do with that information."
"Follow me." the blonde said, sending the girl a comforting smile before jumping on the ladder. Turning her head, she smiled again as she climbed up to give Evie enough room to jump on before continuing her way up the ladder. When she reached the top, she held out her hand to help the taller girl onto the roof before leading her to the center to sit down. "I've never brought anyone up here. Mal doesn't even know that I come up here." Lefi admitted, causing Evie to look over in surprise. When the blonde didn't continue, the blue-haired girl turned back forward for a few moments before turning her head to say something. When she looked over, she realized that she was being watched.
"What are you staring at?" Evie asked, blushing as she noticed the blonde's gaze. Reaching out, Lefi pushed some hair behind her girlfriend's ear.
"You're beautiful." she whispered, cupping her cheek and pulling her into a kiss. Evie smiled as they pulled away from each other. "I'm really glad you're here with me, Princess."
"So am I." Evie replied, pressing a kiss to Lefi's temple before grabbing her hand and lacing their fingers together. Squeezing her hand, she pulled her close. In that moment, she finally knew what happiness meant.
