Lafontaine wakes up from their nap with their girlfriend in her arms, 3 hours later and they couldn't stop the smile that spreads across their face, they can't remember a time when they were truly this happy.
So much had happened to them throughout their life that really was a struggle but they could always rely on Lola Perry to cheer them up one way or another.
It was a struggle growing up, discovering new things about themselves but they sure as hell wouldn't be where they were now without the girl that lay fast asleep in their arms.
Lafontaine was truly content with life and truly in love with Lola Perry.
They feel Perry stir in their arms and the smile is still plastered on Lafontaine's face when Lola slowly opens her eyes to look at their amazing partner. As soon as Lola sees that goofy smile she smiles too, god she loves Laf so much.
Lafontaine leans down to capture Perry's lips in a loving kiss and when they pulled away they still had that grin on their face. "Lola Perry, how do you fancy going out on another date tonight?"
Lola's Smile gets even wider, "I'd love to!" She says rather excitedly.
Lafontaine smiles, "great! And don't worry there will be no movies. We have watched a truly alarming amount these last few days." That earns Laf a giggle from Perry, oh how she loved that noise.
To their annoyance Lafontaine unwrapped themselves from Perry's embrace, they felt so safe in Perry's arms like nothing could happen, like they could face the world and no one could hurt them because they had Perry and that's all they really needed.
"So I'm going to go back to my apartment and get ready for tonight, I have some big plans" they smiled "I'll pick you up at 6pm, yeah?"
Lola nodded in response to Laf wanting nothing more to be back in their loving embrace, "I'll see you in a bit then sweetie." Perry lent up to Lafontaine and gave them a quick kiss goodbye.
With that Lafontaine walked out of Perry's room "Bye Per, see you in a bit" they shouted through while leaving Perry's apartment.
With a sigh Laf made their way to their car, it was only a few hours until they next saw each other but Lafontaine wanted nothing more than them to be together all of the time.
Perry, their partner in crime, best friend and girlfriend, the one person who meant literally everything to them and could not live without.
Perry stayed in bed and cuddled into the pillow Laf had previously laid on. She wanted to be around Lafontaine all the time, the minute they were gone she instantly missed them. Lafontaine filled up Perry's world with so much happiness as love that they missed out on when she was growing up. Perry couldn't bare being alone and away from Lafontaine for too long so she was glad that she didn't have to wait too long to see them again.
~Meanwhile~
"Carm?" Laura asks quietly
"hmm?" Carmilla replies looking up from the book she was reading after she got bored of the TV.
"Do you…urm…fancy going out and getting some food?" the younger girl mumbles not looking Carmilla directly in the eyes. She didn't know why she was so nervous, just two roommates grabbing so food, nothing weird about that right?
After Carmilla doesn't respond right away Laura looks at Carmilla and she can see that smirk on Carmilla's lips. "You asking me out on a date their cutie?"
Laura instantly blushes. "W…what? Urm no" Laura panics, "just urm, I'm hungry and you haven't eaten anything apart from that Popsicle, so I assumed you were to and I thought it'd be nice, yano a bit of roommate bonding time."
Carmilla chuckles, "Cutie relax, stop rambling, I was only joking." She pauses momentarily "I'd love to, I am feeling quite peckish anyway. Where shall we go?"
Laura stands up, but instantly regrets it as she goes light headed "Wow okay, I shouldn't have got up too quickly." She says holding on to her head.
With a flash Carmilla is by her side and holding her "Slow down there cupcake, you hit your head kind of hard."
Carmilla tucks a strand of Laura's hair behind her ear and Laura's breathe hitches at the sudden closeness of the taller girl.
Carmilla was making her head spin more than her bumped head was. Even if the bumped head was indirectly Carmilla's fault, she needs to stop being so god damn gorgeous.
"How about, you lay down and watch some more of that crappy TV show you watch…"
"Hey Doctor who is not crappy!" Laura interrupts.
The vampire smiles and shakes her head, such a dork. "Anyway as I was saying, you lay down and watch the doctor wiz around in a blue box with a sonic screwdriver and some companion saving the world against cyber men and Daleks or whatever, and I will cook us something instead of going out. How does that sound?"
A small smile spread across Laura's lips, this girl is full of surprises. "Well for starters for someone thinks Doctor Who is so 'crappy'" Laura imitates, "you know a lot more than most people who don't watch it." Carmilla rolls her eyes and Laura just smirks, "but I'd lobe that, only if you're sure though and I know you're not doing this just for e but…"
"Of course I am doing this for you cupcake. But if anymore smartass comments come out of that mouth of yours about Doctor Who I'll leave you to starve."
Laura pretends to look hurt and pouts "You wouldn't dare!"
Carmilla leans down to Laura's ear, "Don't test me cupcake." She whispers, instantly sending shivers down Laura's spine.
"Okay!" Laura squeaks with her heart racing at a pace that a) really isn't normal and b) probably not safe.
Carmilla just chuckles at the tiny girl's reaction, "Go lay down on the sofa Sundance and rest that head of yours."
With that Carmilla makes her way over to the kitchen and Laura to the sofa, both instantly missing the others closeness and warmth.
"I thought you can't cook? I mean the other day you just stood there watching me." Laura says peeking her head over the edge over the sofa to see Carmilla.
Carmilla turns to face Laura with a big smirk on her face "I thought I said no smartass comments missy."
Laura raises her hands in surrender "I'm sorry, not intentionally trying to be a smartass."
Carmilla just rolls her eyes and shakes her head "Whatever you say cupcake and if I remember correctly, I was too busy enjoying the view to try cook anything, I can most definitely cook cutie."
Carmilla's comment made Laura blush and she soon suck back into the sofa trying to hide the blush that made her face turn a deep shade of red "I guess I will be quiet now then."
"Oh, have I made Laura Hollis lost for words? This must be a first!" Carmilla says while getting some ingredients out.
Laura pocked her head up from the sofa again and sent a death glare to Carmilla "Looks who's being a smartass now!"
"That bunched up face you make when you're angry is hilarious buttercup!" Carmilla says making her way over to the sink to wash some vegetables.
"Whatever, cutie" Laura says imitating Carmilla.
"I do not sound like that at all." Carmilla huffs.
Laura chucks "Oh you really do cupcake."
Carmilla folds her arms over her chest "Right you may be cute but you're going hungry now!"
Laura pouts and gives Carmilla puppy dog eyes "I'm sorry Carmmm, I won't say another word from now on until you're finished!"
Carmilla huffed and rolled her eyes "Just this once and you better stay quite cutie!"
With that Laura pretended to zip up her mouth and threw away the key, Carmilla just shook her head in amusement with a slight smile on her face, that she tried to hide but Laura totally saw.
Laura laid back down on the sofa and started flicking threw Netflix for something to watch.
~A bit later~
Laura ended up settling for an episode of doctor who, of course she did, and she was just finishing the episode when Carmilla interrupted her doctor who bubble. "Food is served." Carmilla says placing the two plates on the table, she then makes her way over to the cupboard and got out two wine glasses.
"It smells gorgeous!" Laura says excitedly. Carmilla smiles a light genuine smile in reply, it made Laura's heart flutter.
Carmilla proceeds to place the two wine glasses on the table and starts filling it up with some wine she had bought not so long ago. "Well I hope it tastes as good as it smells." She says as Laura makes her way over to the table.
"It certainly looks like it will." Laura and Carmilla take a seat opposite each other. "Where did you learn to cook like this?"
Carmilla smirked, "Well if I told you I wouldn't keep an air of mystery about me, would I?" It probably has something to with being a 300 year old vampire she thinks to herself.
'Oh you have so much mystery' Laura thinks to herself, and then blushes. Damn it Laura, she thinks to herself, stop it with the stupid crush, she's your roommate! Laura tried to play it cool, "Carmilla, full of mystery and secrets about her amazing cooking skills."
Carmilla just shakes her head, this girl is adorable, "well Laura, full of rambling and an alarming amount of sugar, we best eat up before this gets cold." She looks Laura right in the eyes and smiles.
Carmilla felt a twang of guilt, she really didn't want anything to happen to Laura, and she knew her mother would now try to play games after her display earlier but she wasn't going to let anything happen to Laura, she'd protect Laura no matter what.
It was disgusting how much of an impact this tiny human had on her life already, Laura made her feel things that she never thought she'd feel again after a life full of heart ache and hurt.
But somehow she did so effortlessly and it scared Carmilla so much but nevertheless she wasn't going to run away from things now, she has finished running; she's finally free and is going to enjoy it.
Laura took a bite of her food, which look extremely fancy, and oh my god it tastes amazing! Laura moans in appreciation, which sends shivers down Carmilla's spine, god that noise was amazing.
Laura looks up at Carmilla "God, this is absolutely amazing Carm! I am glad I didn't make any more smartass comments." A little smirk formed at Laura's lips.
"Well I am glad you like it cutie." Carmilla winks and smirks at Laura and then starts to eat her food too.
Laura and Carmilla eat in comfortable silence together, talking to each other about everything and anything that came to mind. It was good for both of them to just relax and be in each other's company without having to worry about interruptions or any problems that life throws at them.
They both felt safe and happy in each other's company and for the first time in a long time they were both content.
