The Poe Cup was coming up soon and all the students were preparing their boats for the race. You had not fully grasped the concept of the Poe Cup but you were sure that you would understand on the day. Larissa was preparing her little speech for the day and you joined her in her office, bringing two cups of hot chocolate with you for the both of you.

" Hey darling." You greeted, walking through the door.
" Hello, dear." Larissa responded, not looking up from her page.
" Earth to Larissa. Drink your hot chocolate." You chuckled and sat down in the chair in front of her desk.
Larissa finally looked up, seeing the cup of hot chocolate sitting on her desk and she smiled, looking back at you. " Thanks, love."
You and Larissa drank your hot chocolate.

A question had been running through your mind, you wanted to know if Larissa was willing to make your relationship official but you were too scared to ask. She was the headmistress and you were a silly librarian. Nevertheless, you decided to bring it up anyway.
" Rissy?" You said, clasping your hands around the warm cup.
" Yes?"
" Well, I-i-um, I was wondering when we would make our relationship official?" You asked in a quiet voice.
You heard Larissa let out a small sigh and she sat back in her chair.
" Darling, as much as I want to do that, we-we can't —"
" Why not?" You asked with a frown.

Larissa sighed again and pulled her chair in to sit at her desk properly.
" Because, you already know the social stigma surrounding outcasts and Nevermore. Imagine if news got out that I'm a lesbian, yet alone in a relationship with a woman." Larissa said in a fustrated tone.
Your heart felt as though it was breaking, but you understood where Larissa was coming from. You merely nodded and stood up.
" I understand." You whispered and gave Larissa a reassuring smile before heading towards her office door.
" Y/n, dear, wait." Larissa got up from her desk and walked over to you, catching up with you with her long strides and she grabbed your wrist, turning you around.

" What?"
" I would love to tell the world about you but I can't. Especially in my position." Larissa said, trying to patch things up.
" Yeah, no, totally. Larissa I understand." You nodded with a small smile.
Larissa frowned with concern and caressed your cheek.
" Angel, look. One day, the world will know but until then we have to keep a low profile. I know this upsets you—"
" Larissa, really, darling it's fine. " You chuckled and kissed Larissa's cheek, heading out of her office.

You returned to the library to find it empty as per usual. You sat at your desk and placed your head in your hands, rethinking everything. Maybe you were trying to move too fast. Maybe Larissa didn't really want to be with you. But all these selfish thoughts exhausted you. You returned to your dorm earlier than usual, going for an early shower and snuggling into your empty bed.

That evening, you fell asleep early, not hearing the small knocks on your door which, as a genius you are, you left it unlocked.
The door opened and Larissa saw you fast asleep in bed. Her eyes were puffy and she had clearly been crying.
" Y/n?" She called, sitting on the edge of your bed.
When you didn't wake up, Larissa nudged you, forcing you to stir awake.
" Ris?" You mumbled, still half asleep.
" I need to speak with you." She said plainly.
You frowned and rubbed your eyes, sitting up to look at her.

" Is everything okay?" You asked.
Larissa took your hands. " Screw it." She said.
You frowned. " What?" You chuckled.
" I want to go out in public with you and hold your hand. I want to go to the Weathervane with you and kiss your cheek. I want to be with you. I want the world to know about us." Larissa explained, searching your eyes.
Tears welled up in your eyes and you flung yourself into Larissa's arms. " Really?" You asked.
Larissa laughed. " Yes, cutie. Be my girlfriend."
" Gladly." You laughed and wiped your tears, pulling away from Larissa and pulling her in for a kiss.
She smiled into it and kissed you back with a passion that not even Shakespeare could compare to.
