Unless: Sapphic romance - enemies to friends to lovers

Blackbird

Warning, yes my girls, this is the chapter, hold into your phones and get the Holy Bible out.

Lucia wasn't sure of anything at all as she lay on that bed. The air was warm and clammy, the could hear her own heart pending against her chest, her breathing quick and shallow.
"I know you're scared, but he cannot hurt us here" Maria Ángeles assured her.
Oh, yeah, the fact that her crush was in the same bed as her. Forgot to mention that?
She wanted to tell her that she wasn't scared, no more that she was nervous for being in the same bed as her, but she pushed it aside and swallowed down the big knot in her throat.
"I know" she whispered back, her voice quiet "let's just go to sleep"
She wanted to close her eyes and ignore the fact that the both of them were under the same blanket, but Maria Ángeles sighed.
"Sleep, ha, funny. Can't recall the last night I slept a full four hours"
Lucia stared at her "Four hours? If I don't sleep like, 10 hours or sum, I'm zombie for the rest of the day"
Maria Ángeles chuckled lightly "Well, I do have some insomnia..."
Lucia wanted nothing more than to comfort her, but her eyelids were closing. Curse her ability of sleeping everywhere, even in the most awkward situations! Before she could reply, she was already snoring.
She woke up at three am, however, feeling warm air against her face. Breathing.
The opened her eyes and found Maria Angeles's face inches above hers, her eyes closed, and she was snoring lightly.
It took Lucia a couple of seconds to realize that the other girl was literally sleeping over her, laying on her body.
She supposed that her own heartbeat would increase dramatically, but instead she found calm feeling the smaller girl's warm body over hers. She smiled lightly and tucked a loose strand of the girl'a hair behind her ear. Maria Ángeles didn't notice any of it, she was fast asleep.
Lucia couldn't help but wonder if the girl was rolled to that position in her sleep or if she had consciously climbed on top of her to fall asleep. She decided that the former made more sense, although she hoped it would be the latter.
She moved slightly so the other girl's face would be against the pillow and not against something more controversial, like her face or, God forbid, her breast.
She fell asleep again.
As the following day was Saturday, they had set up an alarm for quite late, half past eight in the morning. They were sure that they'd wake up way before it, so both of them were surprised when they woke up to the alarm beeping, and even more surprised when they found each other in such a... curious position.
"Fuck, sorry" Maria Ángeles apologized as she held her head and sat up in the bed. "Didn't mean to climb over you"
"It's ok!" Lucia quickly said before realizing how desperate it sounded "I mean, I didn't even notice!" She lied, oh, what a liar she was.
Maria Ángeles yawned and got up "I hadn't slept this good in forever"
"Glad to hear" Lucia smiled wide, then, as she felt somehow cheeky, she added "Fancy I had anything to do with it?"
"Well, someone has a high opinion of herself" Maria Ángeles chuckled, then suddenly held Lucia's chin and stared deep into her eyes.
Lucia started sweating, panicking, and somehow forgot her own name all at once, but she tried to look as normal as she could. Maria Ángeles chuckled again.
"Look at you, all panicky, perhaps it was you who enjoyed the night more"
Lucia couldn't bring herself to mutter a full sentence so she just squeaked something that could mean both yes or no.
"I'll take that as a yes" Maria Ángeles smiled and kissed Lucia's cheek "I like spending time with you too, emo girl"
She released Lucia's chin and the taller girl's brain finally started working again.
"You're still a ballet girl" she giggled and reached for an outfit in the closet, a white shirt, a black knitted vest, some black oversized pants and her beloved high platform black boots.
Maria Ángeles grabbed a teal dress and some white sneakers.
"Look, we match" Lucia pointed out, gesturing to her own teal-stricken hair and Maria Angeles's dress.
The shorter girl chuckled "That's the idea, dummy" She grabbed Lucia's wrist and held her hand "Now let's go to assembly before Luis Felipe kills us"
As the both of them ran through the halls, their fingers interlaced, Lucia couldn't help but feel as happy as ever. That's when it all hit her.
She had slept with Maria Ángeles. Not only that, but Maria Ángeles had slept in top of her. She had kissed her cheek, held her chin and smiled smugly at her. Meanwhile Lucia had just stared trying to remember who she was.
A small part of her was hopeful, very hopeful. She took out her phone and found her favorite Miku's song. She put on one earplug and handed another to Maria Ángeles.
She felt comfortable with her. She could share her music with her, her laugh, maybe sometimes even her feelings. Who knows.
Maria Ángeles smiled.
"You know, Kpop is waaaaaayyyy better than Vocaloid"
"No way" Lucia put her hand on her chest, pretending to be offended "you take that back!"
"It's just the facts" Maria Ángeles flipped her hair and smiled. They were still holding hands. Lucia realized how much she loved that girl as they sat into assembly that day, smiling wide.
It was a perfect day. At least, until Luis Felipe walked into the room.
