Waking up

This​ ​is​ ​my​ ​first​ ​ff​ ​so​ ​please​ ​be​ ​kind​ ​if​ ​you​ ​don't​ ​like​ ​f/f​ ​then​ ​don't​ ​read. ​ Smut will​ happen​ ​eventually​ ​please​ ​stick ​ around and​ I'll​ get​ ​ to​ it.​



Waking up with the colossal pain thrumming through her head, Emma Swan was beginning to seriously question her choices in life. The window must have been left open, because a light breeze chose that moment to flit over her toned body. Shivering, she looked down and gasped softly, realizing she was stark naked. Hearing feather-light snoring coming from her side, she slowly and tentatively turned her throbbing head towards the sound. Whatever she thought she would see, she did not expect to see shiny, raven hair, messily sticking out of the cheap floral sheets. Gasping sharply, she starts flipping out in her mind. 'Who the hell is that?! What the hell happened last night?!' She attempts trying to think back to the previous night, but fails in this endeavor. 'How much did I freaking drink last night!' she wonders to herself. She reaches over and peels back the sheets off her partner's face, nearly screaming as she did so. Her sleepy eyes travel over gorgeous, olive skin, and she begins to panic. 'Regina!? OHMYGOD...did I actually have the courage to tell her how I feel last night?!' Frantically her alcohol addled brain, tries once more to remember what happened the night before. Sliding out of the bed, she tries not to wake the serene Regina. She grabs a pair of grey sweat shorts and a tank top, and slips into them with lightning speed, trying not to wake Regina. She stumbles into her miniscule bathroom, and slides open the medicine cabinet above the porcelain sink, and searches for the bottle of Tylenol. Not finding what she was looking for, she goes over to Ruby's bedroom, ignoring the bed, in favor of the girls bathroom, and finally finds what she was looking for. She smiled through the headache thinking of her roommate. The blonde had known Ruby Lucas since freshman year of high school, when they were in the same art class. After they realized they both loved the arts and wanted to major in it for college, they decided to go the same college. They were even lucky enough to be dormmates.

Waking up to the ruckus of drawers being opened and closed, Ruby winces in pain. Holding her mess of medium-chestnut locks in her hands, she rolls over almost smashing Belle, who was lying next to her naked as the day she was born. As she leans over her girlfriend, she moves light brown tresses, giving her a tender kiss on her pale white shoulder and cheek, before getting out of bed and dressing in a black Metallica shirt and bright red shorts. She pulls the sheets over Belle, to save her dignity, before going to her bathroom in search of Tylenol. Not finding it, she shuffles into the living area intent on going to her roommate's bathroom, but finds Emma standing in the kitchen, waiting for her first dose of caffeine.

"What​ ​has​ ​you​ ​up​ ​this​ ​early​ ​in​ ​the​ ​morning?"​  ​Ruby​ ​inquires​ ​with​ ​a​ ​wide​ ​yawn. The blonde hesitates a second, before responding. "I​ ​woke​ ​up​ ​with​ ​a​ ​massive​ ​headache."​ ​Emma​ ​leaves​ ​out​ ​the​ ​part​ ​where​ ​she​ ​found​ ​Regina​ ​in​ ​bed, next to her...naked of all things.
​ 
"Yeah​ ​I​ ​did​ ​too."​ ​Ruby​ ​says​ ​still​ ​wincing ​ with​ pain​ streaming through​ her​​brain.​"So, ​do​ ​you​ have​ the ​ Tylenol​, or​ am​ I​ ​ gonna have to​​ ​scour ​your ​ bathroom​ for​ it?" "No​ ​I​ ​brought​ ​it​ ​out​ ​of​ ​your​ ​room​ ​so​ ​I​ ​could​ ​take​ ​some,​ ​here."​ ​she​ ​tosses​ ​it​ ​at​ ​her​ ​dorm​ ​mate​ ​. 

"Thanks." ​ she​​ ​ says​ catching​​ the much needed​ medicine.​

Hearing​ ​a​ ​thump​ ​from​ ​Emma's​ ​room​ ​they​ ​both​ ​sharply​ ​turn​ ​their​ ​heads​ ​in​ ​the​ ​direction​ ​of​ ​said room.  As​ ​Ruby​ ​moves​ ​toward​ ​the​ ​room​ ​Emma​ ​yells,​ ​"Stop!"​ ​Her​ ​roommate​ ​stops​ ​in​ ​her​ ​tracks​ ​and glares​ ​hotly​ ​at​ Emma.  "Why? ​ Who's​ in​ ​ there?​​ ​​WHO​​ DID YOU​ SLEEP WITH​ ​ LAST​​ ​ ​NIGHT!" she​​ ​screams​ ​hurting​ ​her​ head ​ further​ in​ ​doing​ so.​​ 
​ 
"Ugh,​ ​you're​ ​gonna​ find out​ sooner​ ​or​ later."​​ ​ Emma​ shakes her ​ head​ and​​ ​ growls. "It's​​ ​ ​Regina and ​ before​ you​ ask​ ​what ​ happened,​​​ ​I ​​don't ​ ​know! ​ I​ ​ ​just ​​woke ​​up ​​and​ she​​ was​ lying​​​ ​there​ next​​ ​to me!" ​ she​ insists.​​ 
​ 
"Uh​ huh,​ I'll​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​when​ ​I​ ​hear​ ​it​ ​from​ ​the​ ​other​ person​​ ​in​ the​​ ​equation."


Meanwhile​ ​in​ ​Emma's​ ​room,​ ​Regina​ ​rolls​ ​over​ ​in​ ​the​ ​bed​, and​ ​falls​ ​onto​ ​the​ ​cool​ ​floor​ ​with​ ​a bone​ ​jarring​ ​thud.​ ​"Owww!"​ Grabbing her head, Regina felt like atomic bombs were going off. She searches her hazy memories, as she gazes around the room. Failing to come up with anything from the previous night, she gets off the floor, starting to recall being in Emma's room last night. Terrified, she realizes that she is still in the blonde's room, and hastily jumps to a conclusion. She must have had way too much to drink, and slept with Emma. They must have fallen asleep, and she forgot the entire...event. 'That can't be what happened though, right?' The brunette thought to herself. 'Emma isn't gay or even a bisexual is she?' she ponders this, but reading a person's emotional state was not in her repertoire of skills. She was a business major, and was better with managing numbers and strategic takeovers. She hadn't wanted to become a business major, but her mother forced her into it. Her father had passed away from a coronary heart attack, and it was just her and her mother, who was intent on having her daughter join the family business, matchmaking.

Gathering​ ​her​ ​wrinkled​ ​clothes​ ​that​ ​were​ ​​thrown​ ​throughout ​ the room,​ she​ grunts​​ ​in​ pain​ ​from​ her​ ​body​ ​being​ sore,​ ​​not​ a​ ​ ​painful​ sore​, but ​​a​ ​muscular​ ​type​ ​of​ sore.​​ Redressing​​ in​​ ​her matching ​ purple​​ ​lace​ bra​ and​ ​panties,​​ ​purple​ ​silk​ ​shirt,​ ​black​ ​dress​ ​pants​ ​and​ black​​ ​high​ heels,​ she ​ stretches, hoping​ to​ get​ more​​ ​movement ​ from​ her​ aching limbs.​ Stopping​ suddenly, she​​ remembers​ ​going​ ​to​ ​a​ ​graduation​ ​party ​ ​the​ ​previous ​ night....at​ Emma​ ​ and​ Ruby's...'Oh​​ ​ My​​ ​ God!​​ I'm ​ in​ ​ Emma's​ room! We ​ really​ ​couldn't have​ had​ sex​ and​ ​ ​forgot​ ​about​ ​it....could ​​we?' she thinks ​to​ herself.​ ​Creeping​ ​​towards​ ​the​ ​bedroom​ ​door,​ she​​ ​opens ​​it​ ​straining​ ​her​ ​dark chestnut​ eyes​ to ​see​ if​ ​ anyone was​ up​ ​yet​​ ​and​ ​she​ sees​​ Emma​​ ​and​ Ruby​​ ​standing​ ​next​ ​to​ the​ ​​bubbling​ coffee​ maker​ ​whispering​ ​like​ ​they​ ​were​ ​sharing​ ​a​ ​juicy​ ​secret.​ ​Gathering​ ​the​ ​fortitude​ ​needed​ ​to​ face​​ them​ ​both​ ​she​ ​struts​ ​out​ ​of​ ​Emma's ​room​ ​and​ swiftly​​ ​marches​ ​to​ ​the​ ​front​ ​door,​  ​leaving​ ​as​ ​she slams ​ the door​​ behind​ her.​​

Emma​ ​and​ ​Ruby​ ​just​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​door​ ​that​ ​was​ ​just​ ​forcefully​ ​pulled​ ​closed​ ​behind​ ​a​ ​retreating
Regina. 
​ 
Ruby​ ​stares​ ​at​ ​the​ ​front​ ​door​ ​"Huh,​ ​either​ ​she's​ ​embarrassed​ ​by​ ​whatever​ ​happened​ ​last​ ​night or​ ​she​ ​doesn't​ ​remember." "Whichever​ ​it​ ​is​ ​I​ ​guess​ ​I'll​ ​find​ ​out​ ​at​ ​the​ ​beach​ ​tonight​ ​at​ ​the​ ​party,​ ​right?"​ ​Emma​ ​asks​ ​a​ ​still yawning​ ​Ruby.

"That's​ ​if​ ​she​ ​decides​ ​to​ ​go​ ​or​ ​not.​ ​But​ ​I​ ​do ​ remember her​ promising Robin and​ Mal​ that​ she'd​​ go." ​ And​ with​​​ ​that​ ​a​ ​sheet​ ​wrapped​ ​Belle​ ​emerges ​ from​ Ruby's​ darkened​​​​ room​ ​and ​ snatches​​ ​a​ cup​ ​of​ ​coffee,​ ​turns​ ​on​ ​her​ ​heel,​ ​and​ ​settles​ ​on​ ​the​ ​couch​ ​in​ ​the​ ​living​ ​room.​ ​Belle​ ​is ​ an​​ ​ Early​​
Education​ ​major.​ ​She​ ​loves ​ children​​ and​ ​her​ ​ father​​ ​pushed​ her​ ​to​ seek​ knowledge in​ ​ everything​ she​ ​did.​ ​He​ ​took​ ​her​ ​to​ ​the​ library where​​​ he​ ​works​ to​ this​ day.​ 
​ 
"Go​ ​get​ ​your​ ​girlfriend​ ​and​ ​get​ ​​her​ ​dressed,​ ​I​ ​don't​ ​want​ ​her​ ​bare​ ​ass​ ​on​ ​our​ couch!"​​ ​ Emma​​ hisses.​ ​Ruby​ ​just​ ​laughs,​ ​almost​ spitting​ ​out​ ​her​ coffee,​ and ​​goes​ ​to​ ​grab​ ​her​ girl​​ from​​ the​​ ​ratty couch.

After​ ​retrieving​ ​her​ ​cardinal​ ​red​ ​leather​ ​jacket​ ​from​ ​her​ ​disaster​ ​of​ ​a​ ​room,​ ​Emma​ ​got​ ​into​ ​her canary ​ yellow​​ ​VW​ bug​ and​​ shot​ ​off​ ​into the​ horizon towards​ ​Regina's​​ ​dorm​ ​which​ ​was​ ​far​ ​across campus. 

As​ ​she​ ​reached​ ​Regina's​ ​dorm,​ ​she​ ​saw​ ​the​ ​brunette​ ​head​ ​straight​ ​towards​ ​the​ building​ and​ got​​ out ​ to​​​ ​intercept​ ​her​ ​before​ ​she​ ​was​ ​gone​ ​from​ ​sight.​ ​Running​ ​toward ​ Regina,​ Emma​ reaches​ ​ ​out and ​grabs​​ ​her​ wrist,​ spinning​ her​ around making her​ fall ​ ​towards her.​​ ​In​ ​that​​ moment​ they​ ​both had​ ​the​ ​same​ ​flash​ ​of​ ​memory​ ​run​ through​ their​ heads.​​ 

Emma​ ​saw​ ​Regina​ ​move​ ​towards​ ​her​ ​as​ ​a​ ​slow​ ​song​ ​played​ ​in​ ​the​ ​background,​ ​grabbing​ ​lightly curled​ ​blonde​ ​by​ ​the​ ​waist.​ ​Emma​ ​grabbed​ ​the​ ​brunette's​ ​waist​ ​in​ ​turn​ ​and​ ​they​ ​started​ ​to​ ​move slowly​ ​holding​ ​each​ ​other​ ​closer​ ​than​ ​had​ ​ever​ ​had​ ​been​ ​before.​ ​They​ ​were​ ​in​ ​Emma's​ ​room with​ ​her​ ​iPod​ ​on​ ​the​ ​dock,​ ​listening​ ​to​ ​Ed​ ​Sheeran's​ ​Dive​ ​and​ ​they​ ​could​ ​feel​ ​each​ ​other's breath​ ​on​ ​their​ ​cheeks. 
​ 
Emma​ ​whispered​ ​"I​ ​have​ ​thought​ ​about​ ​this​ ​for​ ​so​ ​long." 
​ 
"I​ ​have​ ​too."
​ 
Regina​ ​pulled​ ​her​ ​head​ ​back,​ ​and​ ​smiled​ ​numbly​ ​due​ ​to​ ​the​ ​5​ ​Jagerbombs,​ ​2​ ​buttershots​ ​not​ ​to mention​ ​the​ ​beer​ ​she​ ​had​ ​earlier.​ ​Emma​ ​grinned​ ​back​ ​at​ ​her,​ ​feeling​ ​warm​ ​from​ ​the​ ​proximity​ ​of Regina​ ​and​ ​of​ ​course​ ​the​ ​seemingly​ ​endless​ ​amounts​ ​of​ ​rum​ ​and​ ​cokes​ ​she​ ​had​ ​drank.
​ 
Regina​ ​leaned​ ​towards​ ​her​ ​staring​ ​at​ ​her​ ​lips​ ​before​ ​claiming​ ​them​ ​in​ ​a​ ​long​ ​awaited​ ​kiss​ ​that neither​ ​of​ ​them​ ​realized​ ​they​ ​wanted,​ ​no​ ​needed. 

Regina​ ​shivers​ ​as​ ​the​ ​memory​ ​ends​ ​abruptly,​ ​upsetting​ ​her ​ but​ not​ really​​ ​ ​understanding​ ​ why.​​ She​ ​jerks​ ​away​ ​from​ ​Emma's​ ​hold,​ ​spins​ ​around​ ​and​ ​runs​ ​inside​ ​the​ ​building.​ ​Emma​ ​just​ stands​​ there​ ​in​ utter​ ​shock,​ ​wondering​ ​if​ ​Regina​ ​has​ ​remembered​ ​something​ too.​
