A/N: For the Slash/Femmslash BC (staircase), the Femmslash Project, Femmslash Challenge, and Femmslash Competition.
"Trick step!" Lucy warns.
But it's too late. Roxanne's foot catches, and she stumbles, crashing into her cousin. The two girls tumble down the staircase, Lucy landing safely in Roxanne's arms.
"My hero," Lucy mutters.
Roxanne gives a sheepish grin. "Sorry. Don't know where my head was," she chuckles.
She doesn't admit that she's timed this moment for weeks. She doesn't mention the planning it's taken to get close to Lucy, to hold her without it being weird.
Instead, she climbs to her feet, helping Lucy up and watching sadly as her cousin walks away.
