Love's Realization
(Modern)
4th of July

'Wow that was loud.' Diaval said in his head. He decided to come to a party he was invited to by one of his friends since he wasn't busy, looking at the fireworks. He still wonders why he came. It's not like it'll achieve anything new. That is until he saw her again. He could never forget those beautiful emerald eye, the light almost glowing moonlight skin, the long brown hair, the high cheekbones that look like they could cut a hand off, ok that one is a bit exaggerated, but still, she's here. He hasn't seen her since they graduated high school, which was probably 5 years ago. Never in his dreams did he think he would see her again. I mean he was a nobody in school and she was one of those kids with many friends. He would sit a corner and just look at her be beautiful all day while everyone ignored him. Until she noticed him, which he could remember almost fainting when she said hi. That's when they started to hang out, she would help him with his homework and teach him some things those of high class know and he would just be there, listening to her, hoping it'll never end. "Diaval?" He snapped out of his daydream, while almost falling in the process and making her chuckle a little. 'Way to go Romeo.' He thought. "H-hi Maleficent, I didn't expect you to be in a low life party." Maleficent smiled and looked down at the ground. "Yes well, I preferred to be here than at another gala with a drunk boyfriend that would beat me for not sleeping with him." She said sternly. "Oh, well, yes, that's um, yea." Diaval stammered. "Still stammering I see." Maleficent said smiling. Diaval frowned, "Sorry." Maleficent's smile faltered and she took a step closer to him. "It okay Diaval, you don't have to apologize." Diaval looked away and took a step back. "No, I'm, it's, I'm not perfect. I'm sorry I'm not perfect, I'm sorry I'm not Prince Charming like Stefan, I'm sorry I didn't lift you off of your feet and ride away in a horse." Maleficent was shocked, where did that come from? "Diaval?" He still didn't look up at her. She didn't know what else to do. There was one thing though, she grabbed his hand and dragged him along a path that led to a secret small park. The only thing left was a swing and a dim light from a lamp. "That's not what I want." She started. "Stefan was no Prince Charming, he didn't lift me off my feet. More like dragged me away and and beat me and always tried to...I didn't have a happily ever after. I never did, not even in high school." She admitted, leaning on the pole from the swing. Diaval just stood there, not sure what to do. He walked up to the swing and sat down. "What do you mean?" He asked looking up at her. Maleficent looked at him and huffed. "I mean I was never happy. I mean that in high school i fell in love with someone else and like the coward I was, never told him. I mean that I found a Prince Charming and let him go cause he didn't deserve to be ruined. He was perfect in every way and he didn't even try." Diaval frowned, so she fell in love with someone else, what was he supposed to do about it. Of course he was her best friend in high school so he had to help because that's what friends do. "Why don't you just go after him then?" He asked. Maleficent looked up at the night sky, full with stars. "Because he's probably happy wherever he is, or maybe he has a girlfriend or he's probably married. I don't know." Diaval looked up at the sky. "Why don't you ask, or talk to him?" Maleficent looked back down. "What if he doesn't like me anymore? What if he never did? What would you do?" Diaval sighed. "What would I do? I would, I would tell her how much I loved her. I would say ever since I saw her I fell in love with her and that I would cross oceans just to get to her. I would say that in my life I never met someone that was more important to me than she was. I would, just go tell him Mal." He couldn't continue, here he was confessing to her and she didn't even know it. "Thank you Diaval. I think I will go tell him." Maleficent said smiling. "I'll see you later." She said walking away into the path again. "Yea." Diaval said low enough for him to hear. He was pondering if he should go after her. Who was he kidding, he didn't deserve someone like her. How could a low life like him, someone with a job that doesn't even pay enough for a weeks lunch deserve someone like her. She was like a queen, rich, beautiful, smart, kind, loyal, responsible, everything he wasn't. "Admit it to yourself Diaval. This is how it'll always be." He said to himself. He closed his eyes and tilted his head to the sky. He imagined how it would've been like telling her. She would get excited and hug him and kiss him. Oh how he would've loved to kiss those full, soft red lips. But that's all he could have. A fantasy, a cruel imagination of what could've been. Then he felt something touch his face, it was unexpected which shocked him and he didn't want to open his eyes. Maybe whatever it was would end his poor miserable life. But no pain came, only something wet but soft touched him, not his face but, his lips. He pulled away a little and opened his eyes to see those emerald eyes he would dream about. Now he was sure he went crazy and started hallucinating. He couldn't even say anything, it's like the words were stuck in his throat. His eyes were wide open, shocked. Then he heard it, it was faint, but there. 'I love you.' It was the most amazing thing he ever heard. Although it was faint, maybe because he was so shocked that everything seemed to distance itself. Then he felt a bit of weight on his legs, and then another thing touch his face. "Diaval. Are you okay?" He blinked, and blinked again, took a deep breathe, and let it out, it came out kind of shaky though. Then he blinked again and then slowly looked at her. She smiled and laughed threw her nose. "Are you okay?" She said again. Diaval was flabbergasted, he couldn't even speak yet alone think. "I think I may have brought you into shock. Do you want me to get off?" She said softly, but smiling. He didn't answer, just stared at her. She sighed and made to stand up but he stopped her by wrapping his arms around her waist. She looked back at him, he was looking at the path, she grabbed his chin and made him look at her. She didn't know what to do so she leaned in and kissed him again. She pulled away but stayed close enough for their noses to brush. They stayed like that for a minute or two, one wondering what to do next and the other wondering if he died and went to heaven. That is until Diaval's instincts kicked in and he brushed his lips against hers. The kisses were soft and meaningful, then they grew a bit more heated, her fingers were in his hair and he tightened his hold around her waist like if she would fly away if he let go. She pulled away for some air and then smiled. "So I told him, now what?" She asked smirking. Diaval pulled back a little shocked. "It was me all along. Everything you said, it was-" She shut him up with another deep kiss. Of course it took her time to realize that this was actually his first kiss. That she was his first kiss. She gasped and looked at him. "What?" He asked. "I was your first." She said smiling and kissed him again. "I know another thing that would be our first too. If you're up for it." She smirked. Diaval thought about it and the smirked. "Anything for you." That night they embraced their passion for each other while fireworks were shot into the sky. That's when they knew everything changed for the better and that maybe they did have a chance at a happily ever after.
