Chapter 11. Full Circle
"Ruby, c'mon, take it easy." Cinder impeded Ruby from grabbing a second drink off of the dining room table. One drink in and the girl was already thirsting for more. "You can't handle it anyway." She teased.
"I can handle it!" Ruby went to reach for a drink again but her hand was pulled back by Cinder. "There'll be plenty of that later, come with me." Her grasp remained on Ruby's hand. The elder girl drug the crimsonette over to a nearby couch and forced her to sit down. "Mingle for a bit, I need to talk to Mercury about something."
"Mingle? B-But I'm here with you not..." Cinder swayed off. "Them..."
Cinder left Ruby behind and walked off to nowhere in particular. She had no clue as to where Mercury's whereabouts was, nor did she care. The real reason she left in a hurry was realization had somewhat set in. Her original motive to bring Ruby here was just for the sheer fun of it. For them to just have fun and fun alone. But not even five seconds in the door and Ruby had already polished off her first drink. And not soon after, it hit her; there was no way she wanted a intoxicated Ruby on her conscience. It made her feel wrong, like she was a bad influence or even...
Taking advantage...
'Maybe this was a bad idea...' she mused. There was no way in hell she'd do something like that to Ruby. Be that as it may, there was one issue that threw a wrench in the works. Whenever she's around Ruby things are... different to say the least. Her personality changes to care free and dare she say; silly. Ruby's the only person who can actually make her laugh and cry, two things she'd never done much of for a long time.
Without a doubt the little Rose has rubbed off on her in these past months -and that's fine.
Except in these kind of situations.
Ruby lacks in the self-restraint department, and it scared her to think if something idiotic or bad happened between them over her stupid idea to go to an underage party.
"Cinder!" A voice snapped her from such negative thoughts.
She turned, only to come face to face with her close friend; Emerald. "Em? Where's Mercury?"
"He was being a smartass so I told him to leave me alone."
Cinder her Crimson eyed friend into the kitchen, trying not to smirk, "You're dating him, thought you had that under control by now."
Emerald glared at Cinder's quip, "Speaking of dating... what's with you and that Rose girl?"
"Nothing you need to know, that's what." She spat back, now trying not to frown.
"Please, Mercury had told me everything about what you two have been doing, I didn't even know you swung that way."
For a brief second, Emerald noticed the slight dampen in Cinder's mood. The ebony haired girl's expression dropped to something akin to weariness or instability.
"Cinder?" She cautiously asked. "Is everything okay?"
"Can I ask you something?"
Emerald was slightly taken back by Cinder's gentle demeanor. "I'm listening."
"Is it normal to feel different around someone? Whenever I'm around Ruby I feel... different. Like she does something to me, and it's..." She trailed off which only addled Emerald more.
"Scary? Terrifying?"
Cinder gave a hesitant nod.
"I know how you feel Cin. I felt the same way when I got close to Mercury. Sure he can be an ass some days; but he knows what's good for the both of us. Over time I just accepted it, I've taught him to be less egotistical, and he's taught me to find fun in practically everything. " Emerald insighted.
"So philosophical." Cinder joked.
"All I'm trying to say is just let it happen. Trust me."
"Hm..." Cinder let the information soak in. "Thanks Em." She grinned.
"Your a friend, so it's cool, now quit being all weird, you're at a party; remember?"
"Thanks tips."
Meanwhile...
Ruby still sat on the couch in the living room, impatiently waiting for Cinder's return. Her mood was slowly impeding on mind numbing boredom. The party was filled with people she either didn't recognize, or were much older than her, the music sucked, and most importantly; Cinder wasn't there!
Her eyes did a quick panorama of the living room, most of the students were standing and dancing or mingling. Behind her, some were playing beer pong on an air-hockey table, and some were even intimately kissing in the various corners the room offered.
There was only one girl she wanted to be kissing right now.
Over the months that came and went, Ruby liked Cinder more and more. The tall dark haired girl had made everything seem... better, and when Cinder wasn't around; everything seemed so mundane. She cherished her time with Cinder, more than anyone else at the moment.
Her eyes continued to wander; from the partiers, to all of the cars through the bay window, and then to the table with all of the red cups resting on it. She knew Cinder didn't like the idea of her drinking, but she hadn't given a full on 'No', meaning...
"One can't hurt." The crimsonette pulled herself up from the couch and directly over to the drink table. She grabbed the first one within reach and brought it back over to the same spot on the couch.
The girl took a sip, even though it was her second drink for the evening, Ruby took the time to actually get a feel for the taste, unlike the first one that she downed in one go. Her face scrunched a little at the aftertaste, which wasn't good -nor was the drink itself.
Cautious sips turned into larger gulps as the girl used the drink to let the time pass before Cinder would come back.
And next thing she knew; the cup was completely empty.
Ruby started to feel lightheaded and a little out of it, but was able to maintain some form of perceptible composure.
Was this what Drunk felt like?
Her mind flashed back to the short drive to Emerald's house. She was basically panicking in the car over how underage drinking was bad, or what if the police showed up, and even Ruby freaking out about getting sent to jail.
With confident reassurance, Cinder manged to calm Ruby down. The elder girl simply told her to 'Relax' and 'Have fun'
Was this the kind of 'fun' she mentioned?
Ruby laid deeper into the couch, nestling herself back and watching everyone around her. From the end of her peripheral vision she could see someone slowly approaching. Her phased eyesight barely allowed her to see who it was, and sighing at the fact that it wasn't Cinder.
"Hey." The figure greeted, standing over Ruby's prone form.
As Ruby's eyes focused it bad me clear that the silver haired figure was none other than Mercury himself. Odd, Cinder said she was talking to him.
"Mercury? I thought you were talking with Cinder?"
"What? No, she's busy with Em." Her frowned at Ruby's current state. "You gonna just lay there... or what?"
Ruby removed her body from the crook of the sofa and sat up. She looked upwards at Mercury and flashed him a 'I don't know' look.
"Ahh, I see, you've never been to a party before."
Ruby crossed her arms, "Of course I have!"
"Not including birthday's." He fired back.
'No..."
"Well I suggest-" He reached over to his right and produced another red cup. "-some of this."
Ruby's eyes widen at his offering. "I really shouldn't."
"C'mon! It's only your second one."
"More like third..." she muttered. The girl glanced up at him again, and started to feel nervous. The look in his eyes portrayed something along the lines of; 'Don't be a wimp, take it'. She felt more inclined to accept it when her vision focused beyond Mercury; and to a handful of party goers who were watching the scene unfold.
With a hesitant stutter, and a quick nod, Ruby accepted the drink to which Mercury smirked at. "See? Now you're getting it."
Mercury nodded off, leaving Ruby alone on the couch again. Unlike before Ruby only got halfway through her drink when she decided it was enough. The crimsonette set the half empty cup aside and glanced around the room again.
She started to feel a little woozy, as each turn of her head made everything feel like it was phasing, and the loud pounding music in the background was slowly giving her a migraine.
Her disposition switched however upon laying eyes on Cinder and Emerald across the foyer; chatting in the kitchen. Ruby noticed Cinder give Emerald a warm smile before waving her off and entering the living room.
Her breath hitched a little at the sight of Cinder waltzing over. She seemed... prettier. Whether it was the alcohol coursing through her body, or her hormones tampering with her mind, Ruby didn't know.
Nor did she care.
Cinder was beautiful no matter the circumstances.
"H-Hey Cinder"
The ebony haired girl grabbed a seat next to her. "Pup." She tutted.
"Huh?"
Cinder giggled at how perplexed Ruby was. "You, silly. You sat here waiting for me like a puppy."
"Heh, yeah I *hic* did." She instantly clasped her hands over her mouth. Last thing she wanted for Cinder to know that she was drinking.
The latter raised an eyebrow. "Ruby? Are you... alright?"
"Of course!" She shouted a little to loudly. "Why, uh, why wouldn't I...?"
Cinder continued to eye her with inquiry. It was hard to decipher Ruby's current state. Either she's just being her normal giddy self, of she had in fact been drinking.
"Nevermind, come over here." She asked.
Ruby responded with little to no hesitation. One of her favorite aspects of Cinder was her voice. Always calm, smooth, and warm. Something she couldn't say no to. Especially when her voice dropped to a sultry tone; making it almost hypnotizing. Never once had Cinder raised her voice around Ruby, and the scarlet girl couldn't even imagine what her shouts sounded like.
Cinder directed her over to her lap, to which she took to with fervor. She sat adjacent to Cinder, brushing her hair back and locking her arms around Cinder's neck, Ruby looked up into those dazzling ember eyes, almost getting lost in them.
Another one of Cinder's amazing qualities.
"So... you enjoying the party?"
Ruby tried hard to form a coherent sentence. "Not really, but it's better with you." She slightly slurred.
Cinder ignored Ruby's slur. "With me hm? So what if I just up and left?"
"I'd be... sad?"
"Oh Ruby." Cinder laughed, "You're lucky you're cute." She landed a quick peck on her cheek.
The quick peck was followed up by Cinder pecking her way down Ruby's chin and stopping at her neck. Ruby was almost used to this by now. Cinder would always go for the neck first, but had the courtesy to kiss along her collar line, low enough where no one could see it; as long as she wore raised shirts that is.
Ruby loved the feeling of Cinder kissing and caressing her face. Those silky smooth hands and taut lips were yet another amazing quality.
Cinder finished the job on her neck and backtracked up to Ruby's narrow yet full lips. Their foreheads touched as their lips remained an inch from contact. With a devious smile, Cinder narrowed the gap and connected lips with Ruby. Like every time the younger girl melted into the kiss Cinder would instigate.
They remained this way for a few minutes. Random people would point out the two girls making out on the couch, lose interest, and then walk away.
As Cinder deepened the kiss, something started to feel off. Ruby's movements almost mimicked her own. They were much more lusting, and heavy. Secondly, the taste of alcohol on her breath was much stronger than her own, cuing the fact that maybe she had been drinking.
Once more, Cinder denied it.
Ignoring her conscience. Cinder prodded Ruby's teeth with her tongue to which the girl gladly allowed entry. The simple action alone boosted both girls non waning list for each other, intensifying the make out and brushing all other thoughts aside.
Tonight was going to be-
"Everyone! Party's over!"
They both froze at the voice of Emerald shouting over the crowd. "Neighbors called the cops!" She continued.
At the mention of the word 'cops' everyone made a mad scramble for the front and rear doors of Emerald's parents home. The majority of the occupants were underage, meaning now was the best time to go.
"C'mon Red, we're going." Cinder slipped out from Ruby's grasp and helped the girl up. "Where to?"
"Well-" She pulled Ruby out the front door, down the lawn, and towards her parked car on the street. "Figure that out later, for now, let's go." Cinder dashed into the drivers seat and slammed the door, Ruby followed suit; and within seconds the car started and they were off.
"Too close." Cinder sighed.
"Oh! We can go to my place, Yang's at some fancy thing downtown and- *hic* my Dad works the night shift. It's late, so you could probably stay the night."
Cinder came to a stop sign and frowned at Ruby. "Are you SURE you're fine?"
"Yyes?!"
Her tone gave Cinder no reassurance, but she kicked those negative thoughts aside and changed course to Ruby's apartment.
She started to feel scared again.
And she didn't know why.
######
Apartment: 12:16 A.M.
"And here we are!" Ruby spoke practically pushing Cinder into the apartment. The ebony haired girl glanced at the room; a familiar sight from earlier. Living room to the right, kitchen to the left, and a hallway leading to the rooms in the back -all laid out in a simple open - concept Floor plan.
Cinder closely watched her redheaded girlfriend somewhat stumble over to the couch. By this point in time it was evident that Ruby was slightly inebriated. Her occasional hiccups and slurs were proof enough. But somehow she still managed to maintain composure.
Cinder's conscience was almost screaming at her by now. But the other part of her mind deemed it false and ignored it.
She swayed over the side opposite to Ruby and gently sat down. "I've never actually been in here before... it's... quaint."
"Quaint? Yang does most of the decorating. I think it looks stupid, but she won't listen."
'She's right, it does look bad'.
"Where's your parents again?" Cinder questioned.
Ruby's expression dropped somewhat. "My Dad works nights a lot, and my Mom is... away."
She couldn't bring herself to tell Cinder the truth about that yet. It pained her to lie, but she wasn't ready. She noticed Cinder give a quick nod, showing that maybe it was a topic best not to talk about.
However something worked it's way into the girls mind; Cinder's parents. A topic she'd been avoiding for a while now.
"Cinder? Can I... ask you ss-something?" Ruby mentally kicked herself for slurring a little.
Cinder's expression switched, almost like she knew what was going to come. "Anything." She answered hesitantly.
"What's with your family? You know... your parents?"
Cinder shuffled over and grasped Ruby's shoulders. "Ruby... I, promise I'll tell you at some point, j-just not now. Okay?" Her tone dropped off and became a barely audible whisper.
Ruby backpedaled a bit, her normal calmness was replaced with a saddened expression. For a few brief seconds they stared into each others eyes, and in those brief seconds; Ruby could see the pain in Cinder's. The deep, repressed pain.
She almost teared up at it.
Using actions rather than words; Ruby engulfed Cinder in the biggest embrace her small body could offer. She strained a little as Cinder's arms tightly knit around her.
"Thanks Red."
Cinder relinquished her grip and pulled Ruby onto her lap again. Saffron and silver eyes met. This time Cinder took in the alluring sight of Ruby's pearly orbs; her eyes shined in the near darkness -radiating two things the pulled her in and pushed her back;
Lust on the surface and Inebriation backing it.
She didn't want to face it. Lust was slowly combing her mind. She damn well knew Ruby wasn't in 100% state of mind -but her self restraint was slipping fast. Hormones and conscience fought a battle in her mind. With the former being the victor.
Ruby accepted her request to put down the parents topic. The girl was always on her side, always cared, and never displayed doubt.
'Just let it happen...'
"Cinder?" Ruby waved a hand past her face. "Is anyone ther- umpf!"
Ruby was cut short as Cinder tackled her back onto the sofa. The girl let out a little squeal as Cinder came down on her. They resumed their previous make out session that had been cut short at the party, and shorty after that; Ruby had already melted into Cinder's resolve.
Hands roamed each other's bodies as the kissing intensified. Both girls hypnotized by the others lustrous actions.
Externally, Ruby felt alive. She let Cinder handle her, planting kiss after kiss under the moonlight that shined through the curtains. Her breathing became heavier and more labored as Cinder's embraces allowed for little time to catch some air.
Not that she was complaining.
"Mmhh~" Ruby panted. Cinder placed her knee right at the girls conjoined apex. Sending a pleasurable shiver up her spine. She wrapped her arms behind Cinder's back and yanked her down, close enough for their busts to touch.
Ruby knew where this was going.
She looked deep into Cinder's eyes, but unlike before, they showed extreme lust and passion and, maybe even aggression.
Cinder met Ruby's gaze and came up with an idea; wriggling her way from Ruby's grasp, she bound up from the couch and grabbed Ruby's hand. "You're room, no?"
Ruby pointed to the first door on the left side of the small hallway. Cinder tightened her grip on the girls arm and pulled her directly into it.
With one arm on Ruby's shoulder and the other on the door handle; Cinder closed them in and rammed Ruby against the wall next to it. Once more, hands explored the latter partner's body. This time however, Cinder, inclined by passion and bliss, snaked her palm under Ruby's black v-neck and caressed the smooth skin of her firm breast.
"Cinder~..." Ruby moaned. Her mind was going blank at the smooth kisses and touches of her girlfriend. It was something she'd never felt before; the caring and sensual touch of another individual.
Breathtaking.
Their lips broke apart for a mere second, allowing for some much needed air along with the dark fabric of Ruby's shirt to be removed from her body.
Goosebumps reigned on her skin as it adjusted to the cold air floating around the room. She felt comfortable doing this in her own red and black themed room rather than the living room.
Cinder stalled for a few seconds to drink in the sight of Ruby's perfect body. From what the moonlight provided; her skin was a blemish - free alabaster. Everything was sculpted to perfection, from her sharp collarbone, to her firm bust, and subsequently her lean and smooth stomach.
More beautiful than she could've imagined.
Ruby decided to return the favor and started to roll up Cinder's dark maroon blouse. She tossed it aside, most likely joining her own shirt on the floor. Ruby quickly glanced at Cinder's own body.
Nothing she hasn't seen before.
Still immaculate as ever.
They clashed once more, this time Cinder twisted Ruby's body 180 degrees and inched her closer to the girls large bed. Their lips didn't part as Cinder slowly tripped Ruby back and lowered both of their bodies onto the bed. Feeling her bare-back meet the sheets, sent Ruby into a blissful state, relinquishing all coherent thoughts as Cinder's kisses slowly made their way down, past her chin and onto her neck again. The cool cotton of the sheets made her skin tingle as it clashed with her own heat.
Ruby watched as Cinder gave her neck almost no attention and resumed her trek downward. The ebony haired girl ceased at her breasts and gave them gentle love bites and kisses, dipping her tongue idea the cup of her bra and teasing the sensitive skin underneath.
"Gods C-Cinder~..." Ruby sputtered. She felt intoxicated by sheer lust and want, the inebriated feeling she faced earlier almost completely wiped away.
She was pulled from her mulling when Cinder reached the hem of her jeans. Through the darkness, Ruby could make Cinder's devious smirk and her suggestive expression. Without so much as a nod, the crimsonette watched in near suspense as Cinder unbuttoned the dark skinnies and slowly glided them down her legs.
Her body temperature rose, her passion redlined, she wanted nothing more in that moment. For Cinder to give her something she was ultimately ready for.
And in that moment, had never felt closer to her.
Seconds ticked by as Cinder slowly mimicked the same with her undergarments. The elder girl eyed yet another immaculate sight before her, and without hesitation, gave Ruby exactly what she'd been wanting.
"Cinder!" Ruby almost screamed. Cinder's face was planted directly between her legs, her tongue fueling Ruby with unimaginable, caring and compassionate pleasure. Her reaction was immediate; eyes painfully clamped shut as she let out a drawn out, piercing scream that no doubt resonated throughout the apartment.
Ruby's couldn't have felt better. The girl beneath her, the one she had spent her time the most with; gave her the best experience of her young life. It didn't matter that she was young, numbers were just labels. She truly felt like she was in... love.
More than her father, her mother, Yang -no one.
Cinder was special, no, she was perfect; what people saw as flaws, Ruby saw as lovable characteristics that, in the long run, brought them closer to one another.
Cinder continued to work her. Ruby's pleasures gasps resonated through the room and bounced off of the walls.
That's when she felt it, her body was ready to give for Cinder's immeasurable pleasure. With a few pokes deeper into her womanhood, Cinder finally pushed Ruby over the proverbial edge. "C'mon Ruby~"
"CINDER!" Her body ignited with euphoria as Cinder weaned out her tongue.
With one long, slow thrust outwards, she felt it;
The pleasure, The pain, The Bliss.
She came, the sheer, almost shocking pleasure hit hard. Her whole body went limp as the climax washed over.
Cinder allowed for the girl to pant out her tiredness before selling into bed with her. She shuffled close to Ruby and clung to her body.
"Cinder... y-you don't..."
"No, I think we should just lay here for a while." She spoke gently.
And so they did. Cinder slowly dozed beside Ruby. As the hormones died down, and a feeling of self returned, Ruby could only muster one thought before going into her own deep slumber. Something that had been on her mind since Cinder had saved her from Cardin;
A cretins set of words, thrice in succession.
######
She couldn't believe it.
She hated herself for it.
She promised she'd never do it.
Cinder pulled Mercury's sedan to a rough halt in the driveway, her mind was convoluted with what she had done to Ruby...
She awoke to a bed that wasn't hers. A room that wasn't hers. And a person sleeping next to her. When she laid eyes on Ruby, her mind immediately plummeted into a hateful state. Not for Ruby; but for herself.
Ruby may not have been that intoxicated, but the mere thought of there being any alcohol in the situation was enough to make Cinder panic over what she'd done.
The thing she swore she wouldn't do;
Take advantage.
She took Emerald's advice and just 'went with it', ignoring her conscience and letting lusting thoughts take over.
After dressing herself; Cinder ran as fast as her tired feet could go and down to the lot. She entered the sedan and drove home. A home that wasn't really hers. With a family that wasn't hers. And friends that really weren't her friends.
As she sat in the drivers seat, Cinder dismayed herself with loathing. If there was one thing she'd learned over the years: It was to hate herself. Seemingly every time things went right; she'd find a way to bring it all toppling down.
She blamed her own attitude for her parents disposition towards her.
She blamed her own hopelessness that maybe things would turn around.
She hated herself for falling into the 'delinquent' status.
And right now; she was regretting the intuition to date Ruby.
"Ruby doesn't deserve a low life like you." Cinder slammed her fist against the steering wheel.
The hate boiled to the surface as she exited the sedan and thrashed the door shut.
Some might say she's being to hard on herself, but Cinder doesn't know what that feels like. All throughout life Cinder has learned to keep people at a firm distance. But then in turn hates herself for it.
She stood in the cold morning air. It was roughly 9 A.M. when she pulled in.
"So Fucking stupid!" She shouted. To emphasize her point, Cinder lurched her boot forward and kicked the cars rear bumper. The weak material cracking under the force.
The satisfied adrenaline rush was all she needed to keep going; and with even greater force, she kicked again. Her foot poking through the cracked material and hitting the hard steel beneath it.
"Good!-" another kick "Fucking!-" another "Job!-" as her foot hit the cracked bumper again; the sharp, jagged edges, tore her pant leg open, and sliced into the flesh under it.
Her hysteria blocked out the pain as she went for another kick, with each thrust the gash on her shin grew deeper and wider. "Weiss is right! Of course I'm a delinquent!" Tears started to form in her eyes as the frosty air began to nip at her open wound.
With a final thrust, a piece for the bumper became lodged in her open skin, forcing her to cry out in pain and tumble to the ground. "Aghh!"
She lay there, crying in a mixture of pain and hate. "Why..." She muttered.
A minute passed before Mercury and Emerald returned from what seemed like a walk. The both of them rushed to Cinder's side at the sight of her slashed shin and the damaged car.
"What happened?" Mercury demanded.
"Calm down, she's in a lot of pain." Emerald directed her focus down to Cinder. "Cinder, what happened?"
"I didn't mean to... I'm sorry, Ruby I'm sorry..." She sputtered.
######
Morning graced the quiet Saturday set Vale. Students reveled in Saturdays, no school, no teachers, nothing. Ruby awoke to the dim orange shining in through the open blinds in her room. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and began to take in the sight of her messy room.
The memories slowly coming on in her mind. She sat up, and instantly a pained rush shot into her skull.
The alcohol.
Silver eyes glanced down at her mostly nude form, and then down to the floor. Her face flushed red; remembering what had... partook last night.
The intimacy.
"Cinder..." She muttered. Remembering that the beautiful ebony haired girl had spent the night -Ruby turned over to grace her with a good morning.
Except Cinder wasn't there.
The only sign left by her was the indent left in the mattress and the ruffled sheets next to it. Sighing, Ruby reached for her jeans on the floor. As she grabbed them, her phone dropped from its pocket and onto the floor. Picking the device up; Ruby jumped at the time: 11:14 A.M.
She shrugged Cinder's absence off as 'Maybe she had to go' or something along the lines of that.
The crimsonette quickly dressed herself in the same clothing from the previous day and rushed out her bedroom door. The reason she was in a hurry? Ruby wasn't the type to sleep in, and the last thing she wanted to do was raise suspicion as to why she slept in so late.
The groggy teen entered the living room and prepared herself for a bombardment of questions from Yang or her father.
Ruby reeled back. Scratching the back of her frazzled hair at the sight of an empty living room.
Not entirely.
She peeped over the couch, only to find an incapacitated Yang slumbering on the it.
"Thank God..." She sighed with relief.
The groggy feeling she withheld crept it's way back. Instinctively, Ruby grabbed her coat and exited out onto the balcony for some fresh air.
The girl took a seat in one of the lawn chairs set up there. The heat and knotting in her stomach slowly subsided with each breath of fresh air she took.
As her mind slowly cleared, her time with Cinder the previous night entered her mind.
She couldn't describe it. Beyond amazing, beyond passion and lust, beyond everything. The whole intimacy of it felt like it brought her closer to Cinder. Closer than kissing ever would. It still troubled her as to why Cinder had disappeared this morning, but it was probably for the best.
If Yang had found out... Cinder would be likely six feet under by now.
So she put it off as Cinder being 'safe' about it.
Ruby dug through her mind to find the answer as to what she was feeling. She cared for Cinder, deeply cared. It still hurt that she wouldn't explain the ordeal with her family, but that would come out in due time she hoped.
Ruby knows that Cinder cares just the same -if not- more. In her eyes their relationship was perfect.
No matter what anyone else thinks about it.
Mulling complete, Ruby found the only way to describe how she feels about Cinder. With that idea, she formed a plan, a rather simple plan;
"I'm going to tell her... I love her."
A/N More of a lime than lemon, but oh well... that'll be the only one in the story so, yeah. As a heads up I might not be updating this next week. I have a one shot backlog I've been meaning to start so that's what I'm going to try to do. The poll winner will be the first one.
They'll be spread out over next week. Sry people, but I really wanted to try my hand at some other pairings. The shots will be: Glynder, Cinder x Emerald (soft of), Cross-hares, WhiteRose, and Hoodwitch.
If you guys want info on these one shots, just PM me. I'd be happy to spoil it for you!
