Multifandom book 2

Bridget

I should stop watching Rotten Mango whilst writing, especially the sad ones. The Itaewon tragedy is so depressing, I started crying around the hour mark and honestly it was so sad. (I'm watching Kimchi killer now and I'm pretty scared that I might not be able to sleep)
Also! I just realised that it was at least 30 years since the Merlin Academy days so technically they're like 47 or smth- pretend i'm not stupid like that and they're actually 37 or smth.

"Jess! There you are!" Bridget smiled brightly at the woman, who looked up from her teacup, the swirling liquid moved up and down and splattered everywhere, only to return to the cup and it'll start all over again.

"Bridget, hi!" She grinned at her, and she sat down next to her at the tea shop's table, the Hatter throwing a tea cup over, landing in front of her with the bubbling pink liquid inside.

"Thank you Hatter." She smiled and waved at the man, who grinned back and continued playing cards with the others.

"So, how did the date go?" Bridget let out a soft groan, bringing the tea to her lips and taking a sip before answering.

"Awful, that man was not like what they said he was." Jess held back her laugh, hiding it behind her hand, but she saw, and slapped her shoulder.

"Shut it! My failed romantic ventures are not for your entertainment!" Jess let out her laughs openly now, the woman next to her leaned back to cross her arms, huffing.

"As if your love life is so full, you have never even had a boyfriend! You have to get out there and stop lounging around the castle every day!" The cup's contents almost tipped out of it, Jess' sudden movement of her hand which held the cup nearly spilling the tea out.

She looked down at the movement of the tea, slowly letting her words sink in.

She didn't know.

Obviously! If she didn't know about her liking women, then she obviously wouldn't be taken seriously when she flirted with her! Obviously that must be what's going on!

"I don't even like men, why would I need to force myself to be around one." The hatter threw a tea plate at her, she caught it and threw it back, but when she turned to Bridget, she looked at her with wide eyes.

"I'm so proud of you for telling me! Oh my god how long have you known-?" She hugged her over the armrests, tightening her arms around her.

"Bridget-? Bridget, I already told you this.... Like a few decades ago." The queen pulled away, her lips falling into an O shape, her brows furrowed.

"You did?" Jess sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"And how's it going with the pirate lady?" Jess grinned at Audrey, who rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Uma's doing perfectly fine, now why did you visit me?" Setting down her bag on the cabinet, Jess walked into the professor's office, sitting down on her couch.

"Just asking how Red's doing." Audrey sighed, she should've known.

"Red is doing pretty well, actually, besides attempting to talk to several flowers and other inanimate objects." She sat down at her desk once more, picking up her pen to start her grading process again.

"Why are you at Audrey's when asking about my students?" Uma spoke up, having slipped in.

"Because I don't trust you and your slippery-."

"Why do you have so many pictures of your wife in your wallet?" Her head snapped around, staring at the sea witch that had one hand still rummaging through her bag, the other holding up her wallet and shifting through her coupons and different cards, also the pictures that were in between the coupons.
