Monstrous (HopeMikaelsonxfem!reader)

Chapter #32

The first notes to Rainy Night in Georgia by Brook Benton started playing over the room full of teens where the atmosphere got to a casual level. The teenagers stayed in groups, chatting and laughing as background music played, but as soon as the new song started, the dance floor began to fill as couples dance together.

Hope sits alone at a table as her friends left her to go dance—specifically MG with Lizzie and Josie with Finch. So she simply looks at all the people romantically dancing together as she rested her head in her palms leaning her elbows on the table. Yn was nowhere to be seen otherwise she would have had some company or the brunette would stay with her friends to talk.

The Mikaelson sighs bored while taking a sip from her cup when she hears someone approaching her. She turns her head towards the person not knowing who to expect, but upon seeing the delicate features of Yn she immediately smiles. "Hey." The brunette takes a seat next to her, looking around for a moment, her lips turned up into a smile before turning to the auburn. Yn drags her seat a little closer to the girl watching her every move. "What are you doing here all alone, hm?"

"My friends abandoned me." She responds simply with a shrug.

"Now that can't be true, right? I'm here." Yn smiles sweetly as she leans closer to Hope.

"Yeah..." The Mikaelson says as she looks back to the dance floor while she fidgets with her fingers. Yn follows her gaze then looks back at her noticing her fidgeting. She puts her hand atop the auburn's and slowly stands up, taking Hope with her. "What are you doing?" She asks surprised with the girl's sudden actions.

"We're going dancing." Yn explains dragging Hope around the table, towards the dance floor.

"W–what?"

"Yeah, come on. It's gonna be nice." Yn urges her.  Hope chuckles, rolling her eyes at the girl's excitement as she gives in. They walk onto the dance floor, going to a corner where they wouldn't be that noticeable and Yn turns to the auburn smiling. Hope looks a little lost in the crowd, not knowing what to do, making Yn snicker. "You are so lost."

Hope glares at her, crossing her arms as she frowns. "I am not." Yn smiles brighter at the response and takes her hands, placing them on her waist as she wraps her arms around her neck. Hope blushes slightly when Yn pulls her closer so their noses are barely a few inches apart.

The two girls swing on the rhythm of the music, their bodies brushing against each other with every light move they make, sending butterflies to the other's stomach. They don't break eye contact for a second during the long three minutes the song lasts. They smile and laugh, but no words are needed as their presence makes up for all the words in the world.

When the song ends, the two girls smile at each other as they let their arms fall at their sides so they walk back to the table, hand in hand. Yn takes her previous seat after helping Hope get into her own.

It's silence between the two for a long moment before Hope takes a deep breath in and turns to Yn. "I saw you and Malia fight..." She starts asking a little hesitant as Yn turns towards her, redirecting her whole attention on the auburn. "What was that about?"

Yn takes a second to think about an answer. "We were training... but actually, it all started when she said I don't know how to fight." The Martin develops the idea so Hope won't ask any more questions.

The other girl lets out a laugh. "That was an understatement."

"Right? That's what I thought." Yn nods. "Well, I proved it to her, guess she won't do that again." Hope smiles at that before another question comes to her mind.

"By the way, what do you think of the new students?"

"They're cool. I met Simon at school and we had a little chat, he's really nice. I can feel Isabela becoming friends with like everyone here, she's so sweet and so is Jonathan." Yn says thinking back to their encounter.
