Diana silently closed the door to her cabin. She sighed as she heard Bruce's footsteps faded away and she mentally begged him to come back. Even if they didn't say anything about it on the way back to her cabin, she still longed for it to happen again. Was it really so wrong to ask that of a teammate? Especially the one who was all about rules and order?
She looked down as something tugged at her dress. Sarah looked up at her with her chocolate eyes. He brown pigtails were slightly messy, and one of her bows looked as it was about to unravel and let the waves of hair loose. She looked as if she had just awaken, teddy bear still in the clutches of her small hands.
"Did you go to the magic ball, is that why you have a pretty dress on? Did you meet your prince? Was he really charming? Did you make sure to leave a shoe behind so he could find you? Did he kiss you at midnight? Does he have a little brother that could be my new friend?" She asked questions on top of questions, not letting Diana speak. Diana smiled and knelt down.
"How about I fix your hair, and I'll tell you all about the magic ball?" She suggested with a serene smile. Sarah nodded before heading into their make shift tent, with Diana following closely behind with a hair brush in hand.
As Sarah pinned little bows into her bear, Diana brushed her tangled locks. She smiled when Sarah resumed asking her questions about her night. She couldn't get a word in as her questions came in, one after another.
"So, first actual question. And give me actual time to answer." Diana said. Sarah giggled.
"Was the ball really magical?"
"Somewhat. It isn't until I found the right people to talk to that I started to enjoy myself." She answered. Sarah gasped dramatically.
"What about the prince? Was he handsome and charming?" She turns around to face Diana. Diana nodded. Images of Bruce went through of her mind. He was truly handsome and charming. Almost poisonous to her heart and soul.
"Did you dance with him till midnight?" She asked with wide eyes. Diana bit her lip.
"Well, we waltzed for a couple moments, before going to the party over here. Which by the way, what were you doing there?" Diana asked sternly. Sarah looked away sheepishly.
"I'm asking the questions here. Besides, I was bored and you were gone. Anyways, was he the man that fell on top of you? The cute one?" Diana smiled and nodded.
"Did he kiss you?" Diana looked at the young girl that stared at her with wide and dreamy eyes. Diana blushed slightly at the mention of the kiss. Sarah gasped.
"He did! Was it as magical as the storybook says?"
"The storybook has nothing on the kiss. It was beyond magical, the only thing that would have made it even better was if he kissed me goodnight." She explained, finishing her hair. Sarah pouted and crossed her arms.
"What kind of Prince doesn't kiss you goodnight?!" Diana laughed. Sarah certainly loved fairytales just as much as Diana did. So, she read Sarah a fairytale in which she easily fell asleep to. Her soft snoring filled their cabin of quietness.
Diana fell asleep to the thoughts of Bruce in her mind. And imagining him in a prince outfit was quite amusing to dream.
Bruce silently cursed himself over and over for walking away from her cabin and not kissing her goodnight. Wait, why would he think something like that? Especially of his teammate. He ran a hand through his hair as he made his way to the first class deck.
"Bruce, where did you go? I waiting for you in my nightgown almost all night." He heard a voice say. He sighed and turned around with a pasted smile.
"Apologies. I was...busy." He said hesitantly. Vivian walked up to him with a raised brow.
"It wasn't that woman again was it? I don't like her, she isn't trustworthy." She said with a sneer. She reminded him so much of Selina, and while they did have a fling for a period of time, he never had feelings for her. Not like when all he could think about was Diana during his brooding time.
"She is a good person Vivian." He said. She crossed her arms with a look of jealousy.
"Well at least we can agree that she isn't that fair of a beauty." She linked her arm with his as they started to make their way to their own cabin. He played a fake smirk on his face. Vivian really did remind him of Selina. Almost too much of her. But, he fell asleep that night, Selina soon faded away and Diana, who he had been thinking for far too much of his time, crept and consumed his thoughts.
Not that he was complaining though.
