Anonymous requested: Caught - Poison Apple tyvm and please?
Raven was lounging on her back, hands behind her head. She was particularly focused on the way the leaves seemed to arch inward, leaving a perfect circle of sky for her to mindlessly watch the clouds roll by. A soft wind came through the Enchanted Forest and sent stray strands of purple hair across her cheeks, tickling her nose. It was at that time that a blonde head peeked into Raven's peripheral sight.
Apple laid out on her stomach alongside Raven. She rested her chin on her hands and kicked her feet gleefully as she munched on the remaining veggie quiche. The two girls had agreed today was a beautiful day for a picnic date. The air was warm and the wind was gently moving about the forest. Rather than enjoying the nice weather like they had agreed, however, it seemed Apple was enjoying a different sight.
Raven closed her eyes peacefully. "I don't think you're as inconspicuous as you think you are."
"Nonsense," Apple retorted without pause. "I'm perfectly stealthy, like a Cheshire Cat." Apple made motions with her hands like she was a secret spy and, for Raven's sake, she also made the sound effects to match.
Raven fought the smile the rose to her lips, but she couldn't help herself in the end.
"Super sneaky!" Apple whispered furiously before giving Raven a peck on the lips.
This time, Raven opened her eyes and turned to look up at Apple with a half-smile. She pretended to search Apple up and down with a doubtful expression. "Hm, I don't know…"
"Oh? What's that?" Apple asked, waving a stolen strand of gummy candy with emphasis.
Raven lunged forward, pouncing at Apple and knocking both of them backwards onto the picnic blanket. Her pride over having the upper hand was short-lived, as Apple didn't really seem interested in playing the game. In fact, she was much more readily focused on the way Raven's lips moved against her own. Raven might have guessed this was Apple's plan all along, but she wasn't complaining.
What started as sweet pecks eventually turned to drawn out kisses between smiling lips. Apple couldn't keep herself from giggling and squirming cheerfully for the longest time. Just when she sank into a deep kiss, they heard rustling in the bushes nearby followed by a few, sharp gasps.
Raven pulled back from Apple, both girls making terrified eye contact with the group before them. Ashlynn had the decency to blush and turn away while Briar shielded the eyes of an oblivious Cedar.
"G-Guys, what are you doing here?" Apple blurted.
"Oh, um, you know, Mrs. Her Majesty The White Queen assigned us that task on collecting edible vegetation from the Enchanted Forest," Briar said, distractedly raising a basket of herbs and roots.
"Oh. Right."
Everyone stood with horrifically embarrassed expressions, no one quite sure what to say. After what felt like ages but was probably ten seconds, more rustling came from the bushes behind Briar's group. A disgruntled Duchess plucked twigs and small, sticky leaves from her skirt. She continued on loudly complaining until she finally looked up and locked eyes with Apple and then Raven. At that point, Raven gave up on feeling abashed and simply returned a listless shrug. Duchess glanced between the two girls and her own group as if unsure whether she was actually seeing things right when she suddenly honked, "I knew it!"
