"I'm not goin'," Cordelia giggled as she rolled back towards the girl after shutting off her alarm, "I mean it."

"Oh, I know you're serious," Misty nodded and nuzzled her face into her pillow, "But you'll be here by yourself all day," Misty shrugged, "And I really want to see you today, mouse," Misty pouted, "Please, baby doll?"

"Deeeeee," Cordelia giggled, "Fine, I have a test Friday anyway. I probably need ta be there this week," Cordelia nodded and leaned forward to kiss the girl's cheek, "Do that again," Cordelia laughed and kissed her other cheek, "Uh huh, keep goin'," The woman bit her lip and kissed the end of Misty's nose. The girl finally opened her eyes and leaned forward to press her lips against the woman's.

"I'm going to shower, mouse," Misty nodded.

"Can I shower with ya?" Cordelia grinned and pulled the girl from the bed and toward the bathroom.

oooOOooOOooo

Misty walked up to the front of the school and saw Zoe there, "Are you okay?" Misty nodded confusedly, "I tried to text you a few times this weekend."

"Oh, I was outta town and didn't realize I'd left my phone at home until I was there," Zoe nodded in acceptance, "What'd ya need, Zo?" They made their way to their lockers and Zoe pulled a book out of hers.

"I need some help with this English assignment. Can you help me?" Misty nodded and pulled her own books out that she would need for her morning classes.

"Yeah, Zo. I'll help ya," Zoe nodded.

"Thanks, Misty!"

oooOOooOOooo

Misty was now sat in her AP Calculus class and was trying her hardest to pay attention. The teacher was going on and on about limits of infinity and Misty was beyond bored. The bell finally rang and Misty sighed in relief.

"Miss Day. I need to speak with you," Misty looked up and noticed the other students looking at her too.

"Umm, okay," She waited for the room to clear out before approaching the woman's desk. The woman pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the girl, "I made a one hundred?" The woman raised an eyebrow.

"You seem surprised," Misty looked up confused.

"Well, yeah. I mean I'm good at math and I studied but I was sure that I missed at least one problem," The girl flipped through the test and the teacher watched her do so.

"You cheated," Misty froze and looked up at her with wide blue eyes.

"What?"

"You heard me, Miss Day. You cheated."

"No, I didn't," The teacher raised an eyebrow, "I swear I didn't cheat."

"There was something you did on that test that hasn't been taught yet. You cheated," Misty's jaw dropped.

"So I'm not allowed to read forward in the book?"

"Go to the principal. She's expecting you," Misty looked at her dumbfounded.

"Ya have got ta be kiddin' me," The teacher just stared and Misty huffed before leaving the room. She made her way down the hall to the office and knocked lightly before hearing the woman call out for her to come in.

"Misty Day?" The girl nodded and the woman motioned to a chair across from her. Misty took the seat and dropped her bag next to her, "You want to explain whatever this is?" Misty rolled her eyes and held the test out to the woman. She looked at her strangely and took it before flipping through it, "You made a one hundred. What's the issue?"

"She says I cheated."

"Did you?"

"No, ma'am," The principal looked up at her, "I promise."

"Okay, why does she think that you cheated?"

"I used an operation that she hasn't taught yet."

"And how did you know to use it?"

"We have textbooks?" The woman looked up in amusement and Misty shrugged, "I actually study, even if no one else does," The woman nodded, "I promise I didn't cheat. Math is just one of my stronger subjects," The woman clicked a few things on her computer and brought up Misty's file and grades throughout the years.

"Yes, it is," Misty nodded, "How about I give you another problem like this and you walk me through how you would do it?"

"Umm. Okay," Misty grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper from her bag and copied the problem down that the woman gave her. She talked through each thing that she did and circled her answer when she was finished, "There," The principal nodded and handed her test back.

"I'll speak to her about it. Don't worry," Misty nodded.

"Thanks," She nodded, "Umm. How much time is left for this period?"

"About two minutes," Misty groaned. Cordelia was probably freaking out.

"Thank you again, Mrs. Abel," She nodded and Misty stood and grabbed her bag before leaving the room. She put her books in her locker and made her way out to the greenhouse when the bell rang. She could hear Cordelia moving around the back room as she entered and stepped back there to watch her.

Cordelia stood and looked towards her. She breathed out in relief, "Thank god," Misty nodded and made her way to her to pull her into a hug, "Sorry, I was just worried."

"I know. I'm sorry," Cordelia shook her head and pulled back to look at the girl.

"What happened?"

"My calc teacher accused me of cheatin'," Cordelia's eyes flashed with anger and Misty bit her lip, "It's okay. I explained everythin' ta the principal and everythin' is okay," Cordelia nodded and tucked a stray curl behind Misty's ear.

"Are you sure? Because I can rough her up some for you," Misty laughed loudly, "What?"

"You're too tiny for all that," Cordelia rolled her eyes and leaned up to connect their lips, "Thank ya though," Cordelia just nodded, "I love ya, Cords."

"I love you, mouse."

oooOOooOOooo

Wednesday night Misty jerked awake from nightmare. She breathed in deeply and tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. The girl tossed and turned for what felt like hours before huffing and picking her phone up, "It's only one thirty," She groaned and could still feel herself shaking from the effects of the nightmare. She pulled Cordelia's contact up and bit her lip, "No. She's sleepin'."

The girl rolled onto her side and closed her eyes, but images of her nightmare continued to flash behind her closed eyelids. She groaned again and sat up rubbing at her eyes, "She wouldn't care," The girl debated with herself, "But she needs sleep too," She groaned at herself and covered her face with her hands. She finally made her mind up and got up quietly. She pulled shoes on and grabbed her book bag before leaving the house.

She made her way to Cordelia's home and unlocked the door with the spare key. Misty put her bag down and made her way upstairs quietly before slipping into the bed beside the woman. Cordelia opened her eyes momentarily before lifting her arm and beckoning the girl to her.

"Are you okay, Misty mouse?"

"I'm fine now," Cordelia nodded.

"Anything I should know about?"

"I just had a nightmare. Sorry," Cordelia shook her head and dropped a kiss into wild blonde curls.

"Don't apologize, sweet heart. I don't mind this at all," Misty wrapped her arms around the woman in response, "I would have come and gotten you. You didn't have to walk here in the dark," Misty nodded.

"I know ya would've," Cordelia pulled her closer to her body and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

"I love you, mouse."

"I love ya too."

oooOOooOOooo

Misty woke the next morning to Cordelia's alarm and snuggled into the woman's side after she shut it off, "Good morning, mouse," The girl groaned in response and Cordelia laughed as she ran her fingers gently through blonde curls. Misty finally opened her eyes and looked into the loving brown ones in front of her.

"Mornin'," Was spoken sleepily and Cordelia pressed a kiss to her lips. Misty grinned at her and pulled her closer to hug her, "Thanks for last night."

"There's absolutely nothing to thank me for, baby," Misty nodded and nuzzled her face into Cordelia's neck, "I love you so much. I just want to be there to protect you at all times," The girl looked up at her and brought their lips together again, "We should probably get dressed, darling."

"Hmm. No," Cordelia laughed and pressed a kiss to Misty's forehead.

"Hmm. Yes," Misty giggled and whined out when Cordelia removed herself from her arms, "You know, we have some time," Misty looked at her curiously, "I was going to take a shower but that doesn't mean I can't make room for you," The girl bit her lip now. Cordelia crossed her arms over her stomach and pulled her shirt up over her head before throwing it down, "I think you should get up and come with me," Misty sat up and crawled towards the woman on the bed. Cordelia smirked and hooked her thumbs into her shorts to push them down her legs.

"Maybe I should," Cordelia laughed and moved her hands to her panties now. Misty reached out and grabbed her hands to stop her, "Let me do that," Cordelia nodded and Misty sat up on her knees and brought the woman into a kiss. She ran her hands around the woman's waist and slipped both of them into the back of her panties to squeeze her ass harshly. Cordelia gasped into her mouth and looked at her with wide eyes, "Your ass does thin's ta me," The woman bit her lip and Misty pushed her panties down her legs slowly.

She stood when they were fully removed and pulled the woman to her so her body was flush against Misty's. Cordelia moaned out at the feeling of the clothing against her skin and made eye contact with Misty. She leaned forward and connected their lips as Misty guided her backwards and pressed her against the wall. Cordelia moaned into her mouth and Misty ran her hand around her hips and plunged two fingers into the unsuspecting woman. Cordelia broke their kiss as she moaned and looked into blue eyes.

"What was that about a shower?"
