Forevermore - Lovertation

Forevermore

Folklore
"You... like me?" Poets repeated. We stood in silence for a moment, my palms clammy and heart racing.

I nodded and swallowed dryly. "I'm sorry... I had to tell you". 

Poets couldn't seem to find an answer, making the awkwardness in the room worse.

Then, I couldn't take it anymore, I turned and raced out her room, bursting into my own and collapsing on my bed. I'd just lost the best friend I'd ever had, and for what? A secret I could've kept to myself. My mind beat myself up over and over again as I sobbed into my mattress like a heartbroken teenager.

I was so stupid for having the slightest fantasy she liked me back, I was such an idiot for ruining what we had, I-

"Folklore, wait, you didn't let me finish" Poets said softly as she entered my room.

"What is there to say? You hate me" I sat up, wiping my eyes with my sleeve.

"Lorie..." she came and sat down beside me, hooked a finger under my chin, pulled my face towards hers, and kissed me.

Red
I slid my rook across the board and smiled. "Your turn".

Evermore grumbled and moved her pawn, I could see the cogs in her head turning as she worked out her next moves. However, her next moves wouldn't be happening.

"Checkmate!" I shouted, resisting the urge to flip the board in celebration.

My girlfriend buried her face in her hands before looking up at me with a small smile. "Well done, my love".

"Oh my god YES, look at me being smarter than you for the first time" I said smugly.

"Hmm, don't get used to it".

"Too late!"

She stood up next to me and paused before hugging me, engulfing me in her cozy aura.

"I love you" she whispered. It was a regular thing for her to say, but this time she made it feel like more.

I softened in her grip and squeezed her back. "I love you too".

Debut
Fearless screamed as a jump-scare appeared on the screen, making me giggle. She turned away from the tv to look at me with wide eyes.

"Thought you were supposed to be fearless?" I teased, pulling her closer into me.

"We've known I'm not for a while, Deb" she swallowed.

"it's not even that scary" I countered, pulling at a curly strand of her hair.

"Oh my gosh I hate Reputation for getting you into these. Why did I agree to this again?"

"Because its quality time with your girlfriend".

Fearless groaned and tucked herself into my chest. "Why couldn't we go see the horses or something?"

"Mayo's lame, I can't ride him".

"Ugh".

"Its almost over, Fear, we can do something else after".

"Whatever I want?"

"Whatever you like" I confirmed.

"Mkay".

I smiled and pulled a blanket over us. "I'll protect you babe, don't be scared," I cooed.

Fearless groaned and snuggled into me more. "I might just sleep".

"Alright baby, sleep well".

"Love you."

"Love you too."
