Alice by heart one-shots

Valentines Day

Valentine's day was less than a month away and Alice was panicked. This year she'd decided it was finally time to tell Alfred that she was in love with him, and had been for the past four years. But planning how to confess four years worth of love is never easy, and Alice had no idea what she was going to do. "Tabby" she groaned into her phone. "What the fuck am I going to do?" she asked her other best friend, the one she wasn't madly in love with. "I don't know Alice, I'm not the person to ask about this" Tabby responded, knowing that Alice wasn't looking for an answer on how to confess to Alfred, but rather an answer on how she was going to go on if he didn't love her back. "I know, I just really don't know what to do Tabby, I'm writing a letter but how do I do it? And what do I say when I give it to him? And what if I upset him? What's gonna happen when he reads it?" "Alice" Tabby calmed, her Cheshire voice soothing as always. "You can't spend all this time thinking about how he'll react to a letter you haven't even written yet. Take a moment my love, just breathe. This is about you getting these feelings out into the open. No matter what happens after you'll have gotten to tell him what you wanted to say without hiding anything or holding anything back." Alice took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah, yeah" she responded, readying herself. "Thank you Tabby," she said. "Of course, this definitely isn't an easy thing you're going to do." Tabby smiled, a mischievous glint in her voice. Alice laughed and said goodbye to her friend, ending the call. She took out a piece of paper and her favorite pen, laying them on the desk in front of her. She took a minute, thinking about Alfred. The boy she'd loved for 4 years had become a man and she'd somehow only fallen more and more in love over the years. When she was younger she thought it was just a schoolgirl crush, something that would go away after a while as she grew up and became a woman. But now here she was, almost 18 and still in love with Alfred. She'd never felt like this around anyone else. He made her feel special, every time they talked her whole body felt like it was golden, glowing butterflies. When he called her little nicknames she melted and felt all warm and fuzzy, like she was his little pet, all wrapped up in his arms in a blanket. When he held her she felt so safe, his hugs were like magic, like his arms were some shield from all the horrors of the world. His lips were so soft when they'd touch her hand or cheek sweetly. She wondered what those soft lips would feel like on hers. And his eyes, god his eyes. There were worlds within his gaze, rooms in his head that Alice could never even begin to know. She wanted to know, she wanted to melt into him and live inside of him forever. She wanted to be in his life forever. With a shaky hand she picked up her pen. It would be the hardest letter she'd ever have to write. But she loved him too much to not write it.
