8:39pm Danny: Hey Laura! Just finished grading lit papers, think it's time to chill out, you free? Xx

8:43pm Laura: Sure! Fancy coming over? Netflix and cookies?! Xx

8:45 Danny: I do know how you survive on so many cookies. Be there in 10. Xx

8:46 Laura: But cookies are so goooood! See you in a bit :) (The cookies will be ready!) xx

Laura hadn't got home after her evening out with Carmilla, since then all she had done is made hot coco, arranged for Danny to come over and get the promised cookies out.

She had also overheard a conversation between Carmilla just after they had got back, which was completely weird something about something about being free, maybe.

Thinking about it Carmilla's mood had completely shifted from the moment they'd got back to the flat, it's liked she sensed something was wrong. Who could even do that? Well evidently Carmilla can. Laura was pulled away from her internal thoughts when she heard a knock at the door.

Danny.

Laura happily skipped over to the door and opened it to welcome Danny with a big grin, Danny replicated the grin as soon as she saw Laura. "Hey Danny!" Laura beamed excitedly giving her a big bear hug in the process, for a small person she sure as hell was strong.

"Hey Laura" she laughed as she looked at the smaller girl still clung onto her, "How are you?"

"I'm great! You?" Laura moved so she was out of the doorway and gestured to Danny to come in.

Stepping into the apartment Danny took in her surroundings. The apartment was slightly messy, with dirty dishes still on the table and clothes dotted around the living room, she assumed the mess was Laura's roommate, Laura was impeccably clean. She was pulled from her inner thoughts when she remembered Laura asked her a question. "I'm better now thank you" she sighed "Marking those papers were driving me insane."

"Well now you can chill out with cookies and hot coco." Laura beamed "anyway, take a seat and make yourself at home."

With that Laura skipped over to the kitchen and started making the hot coco and getting the cookies out, leaving Danny to sit down on the sofa watching whatever was on TV, something about a big blue box called the TARDIS, maybe it was the show Laura always goes on about, Doctor who, is it? Whatever this show was Danny was kinda enjoying it.

Laura plodded over with two cups of hot coco in her hand and a packet of cookies under her left arm. Laura had a scrunched up face trying to concentrate on not spilling the hot chocolate as she placed it on the small table in front of the sofa and took the cookies out from under her arm placing them next to the two cups.

"Well it's good to have you….have you here." Laura states rather awkwardly as she sat down but never the less a smile was still planted on Laura's face.

Danny chuckled, "Thank you for having me and thanks for the hot chocolate." She said leaning down to pick up the cup closest to her. "So what will we be watching on our Netflix marathon?"

Laura settled into the sofa after picking up her hot chocolate, "hmm how about Star Trek into the Darkness?"

"I like your thinking Hollis." Laura then proceeded to put the film on and picked up the cookies in the process offering one to Danny, which she happily accepted, and took one for herself.

Both girls settled into the sofa enjoying the film, sipping their hot chocolate thought and putting the empty cups on the table as they'd finished.

Laura hadn't even noticed that Danny had fallen until the end of the film, when she could hear Danny lightly snoring. Laura smiled at her and slowly got up, trying not to wake the taller girl up.

Laura slowly padded to her bed room to get Danny a blanket to keep her warm. As she entered her room she flicked the light switch but rather than her light igniting up her room she was bent with a little bang and the stay on. "Shit!" Laura whispered angrily to herself, she had blew the light.

Never the less Laura still grabbed a blanket from her cupboard while telling herself she needs to change her light and reminding herself it's going to be a challenging job being her height, but that won't stop her.

Laura made her way back over to the sofa to find that Danny had laid herself fully on the sofa in her sleep (Laura was really grateful because she didn't know how she was going to get Danny fully on the sofa without waking her up, which she didn't want, obviously.)

Laura smiled at Danny, she looked so peaceful sleeping, her face completely relaxed, lips slightly parted and her hair resting lightly on the pillow under her head.

Staring. Laura was staring, she shock herself out of her head and put the blanket over Danny making sure she was completely covered, which was pretty hard because Danny is sure as hell tall.

When Laura was sure Danny was sound asleep Laura made her way over to the kitchen grabbing a stool on her way. She couldn't remember exactly where her spare lights were, apart from the fact that her dad put them up in a cupboard that was high up; very high up. Which, thinking about it her dad was silly for doing considering how short she was.

But her height hasn't stopped her before and she sure as hell wasn't going to let it stop her now.

Laura placed the stool down in front of the cupboard that she thought the lights may be in and slowly clambered on top, the stool was slightly wobbly so she didn't want to take any extra chances by moving around too quickly.

Laura opened the cupboard to reveal the spare lightbulbs on the very top shelf, Laura sighed; this really wasn't a job for a short person. Laura slowly reached up to the light bulbs with the chair only wobbling a little bit.

All of a sudden there were hands on her hips making Laura jump slightly "Woah cupcake, you need to be careful you don't want to know over all of that hot coco." It was Carmilla. Carmilla with her hands securely on her hips holding her up, it was a good feeling. Woaaaah where did that come from?

Light bulbs. That's what she should be thinking about, light bulbs, not the way Carmilla feels so close to Laura and with her hand firmly on her hips. Urg!

Laura slowly goes up on tippy toes stretching up as far as she can, she feels Carmilla's grip tighten as the chair wobbles again. With a finally reach Laura manages to grab the lightbulbs.

Laura slowly turns around to face Carmilla, who still has a tight grip on her hips, and gives her a crooked smile; that made Carmilla's stomach flip in ways it really shouldn't. "Sooo…are you going to let me down or are we going to stay like this all night?" Laura says with a slight smirk, she was getting a little more confident around Carmilla and even though she wouldn't admit it, she liked playing games with her.

But in true Carmilla style she doesn't hesitate to respond, "I dunno cutie, I quite like the view from here." Carmilla tilts her head to the right slightly while looking up at Laura, who has a blush turning her face crimson.

Carmilla chuckles slightly, at Laura who's rather embarrassed, "Come here cupcake" Carmilla lets go of Laura's hips and opens up her arms and looks at her expectantly.

The only response she got from Laura was a very confused look.

Carmilla rolled her eyes "do I really have to explain everything to you Sundance? It's really simple I'll even help you," Carmilla takes both of Laura's hands, making sure to take the lightbulbs and puts them on the side, and then proceeds to put Laura's hands behind her neck "Keep your hands here and hold on," Carmilla's voice had suddenly gone low and raspy sending tingles throughout Laura's body. "now I will put on hand here," Carmilla snakes her hand behind Laura's back and places her hand firmly on her waist "and the other here" her right arm goes right to the back of Laura's knees. "And I simply lift you for the stool" as she says this she takes all of Laura weight, and holds her in the 'bridal like position'. "That wasn't so hard now was it cutie?"

The sudden closeness between herself and Carmilla causes Laura to take a sharp intake of breath. She was just a few inches away from Carmilla, the closest they have ever been since they've been living together.

It's from this angle that Laura can really appreciate Carmilla's natural beauty; well Laura knew how beautiful she I but being this close really just blow everything out of proportion. "I...I gu…guess not" Laura stutters. Really smooth Hollis, really smooth Laura thinks to herself.

Carmilla just smirked at Laura, she loved making Laura all flustered, it was the only time she could ever make up shut up rambling.

Then it both hit them. They were staring at each other inches apart and suddenly a tension grew.

But it was gone almost as soon as it came. They both heard a rather annoyed cough coming from the sofa. They both tore their eyes from the gaze to find a rather annoyed Danny giving Carmilla Dagger eyes. "Sorry didn't mean to ruin you moment there" Danny snapped.

"Don't be jealous Xena" Carmilla says slowly putting Laura back down on the ground, "shouldn't have fallen asleep then it could have been you who rescued poor Laura here…better luck next time." Carmilla placed her arm around Laura's shoulder and pulled her close.

This seemed to trigger some deathly anger in Danny as she preceded to get up and storm over to Carmilla at an alarming rate. She only stopped when she was inches away. "She isn't your trophy. Get. Off. Her." Danny made sure to punctuate those last the words so Carmilla would get the message.

Apparently she didn't.

Laura noticed how Danny had balled her fist and was probably about to punch Carmilla, "wow, guys calm down, look Danny just Calm down and Carmilla stop winding her up." With that Carmilla retracted her arm, Laura wishes she didn't. "Now I think we all need to call it a night, Danny you can crash here if you want?"

Danny shakes her head "I have a summer society meeting early in the morning I wouldn't want to wake you or anything."

Laura nods slowly "now what do you both say to each other?" Laura looked between them both expectantly. She got a shocked face from them both but she maintained her serious face.

"Sorry" Danny mumbled

"Yeah sorry" Carmilla mumbled equally as quiet. #

"That wasn't so hard now was it?" Laura smiles. "I will see you out Danny".

With that Laura walks over to the front door with Danny. She proceeds to hug Danny goodbye.

With Laura completely unaware Danny glares at Carmilla over her shoulder, Carmilla in response just smirks, she knows Danny is seriously jealous.

"I will see you soon Hollis"

"See you soon Danny" Laura waves.

Laura slowly shuts the door and turns to Carmilla, she didn't really know what would happen after the 'moment' they had not too long ago.

She will soon find out.
