Sparia one-shots

Encouragement

Spencer had been in a funk for days, she hadn't left her room for anything other than meals and bathroom breaks, she was studying endlessly. This was nothing unusual but if you knew her well enough, you could see that something was off for her. She would usually take a break after a few hours to sneak some chocolate cake out of the fridge or make some coffee but instead she just takes a bag of nuts into her room with her and keeps a pitcher of water on her desk. It is clear to see that she is hiding something, or maybe she is hiding from something.

This all started a few days before and nothing was amiss, this was the day that she had finally come to terms with her feelings, she was forced to admit to herself how she really felt. Spencer knew that she would be accepted, there was no doubt about that but admitting it would make people curious and curiosity is dangerous while centred on the wrong thing. Spencer is in fact 100% bisexual. What she wouldn't do to be able to tell the people she loves about these feelings but they would ask her which girls she likes and she wouldn't be able to tame the blush that would spread to her cheeks as she thought about her crush. Aria.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Aria had noticed the change in Spencer instantly, all it took was the rejected phone calls and the one word text messages for her to be worried but she was terrified of becoming overbearing so she was waiting to see if this funk would die down after a few days but so far nothing is happening that is even pointing in that direction, that is how she got here, on Spencer's doorstep, knocking insistently. She was going to find her and she was going to shine her rays of light onto the taller girl until the dark clouds have scattered, she's willing to do anything because there is nobody in this whole world that she cares about more than Spencer, she was forced to admit that after she had come to terms with her mindblowingly strong feelings that she has for her. 

Aria taps her foot impatiently against the wood decking and she feels her heart pick up its pace as the door swings open. It quickly sinks back to its regular pace after seeing that it is only Melissa, Spencer's older sister. Aria had to admit that Melissa is also a very hot woman, it must be a Hastings thing but Aria is pretty sure that Melissa would actually pick up on any advances unlike Spencer, who is completely oblivious to Aria's incessant flirting.

"What can I do for you Aria?" Melissa smirks down on the younger girl, making her feel a little bit like prey.

"I'm looking for Spencer, is she here?" Aria stumbles over her words a little.

"Yeah, just let me go and get her for you, she is in her room. You can wait in the living room." Melissa opens the door wider so that Aria can pass through but is sure to make sure their sides brush gently as she lets the younger girl enter. 

Aria walks into the living area tentatively, unsure of what to do with herself so she just opts for standing between the couch and the kitchen area while she waits. It seems like hours before Melissa descends back down the stairs, Spencer in tow. 

"Aria, hey, I didn't know you were coming. I was just studying." Spencer says nervously, the tension in her body obvious.

"I know, I was going to call ahead but you weren't picking up your phone so I got worried and decided to come and check if you're alright." Aria explains, now feeling slightly awkward since Melissa hasn't left.

"That's so nice of you Aria, Spencer is lucky to have someone as caring as you in her life, even if it is just as a friend." Melissa says with a sly grin.

"What are you talking about Melissa?" Spencer was getting more and more agitated as she realised that her sister knew her secret and was about to use it to get back at her for the relationships that she had formed with both Ian and Wren. 

"Nothing, nothing. Aria there is something I would love to talk to you about though." The grin was still on her face and she did nothing to hide the fact that she is clearly up to no good. "Actually, I'm a lot better at show than tell."

With that she grabbed Aria by the back of her neck and pulled her into a fierce kiss. Aria was so shocked that all she could do was stand there frozen, she didn't want this to happen but she couldn't fight it either. After a good ten seconds Aria finally came to her senses and pushed the taller girl off of her before wiping her lips with the back of her hand.

"I'm sorry Melissa but please don't ever do that again." Aria refused to meet Spencer's eyes, unsure of how she was dealing with what was happening. It was probably a good thing that she didn't look because they were practically green with envy until they turned a dark black as Aria was forced to push her sister off of her to stop her coming any closer. The darkness in her eyes faded slightly as she heard Aria express her distaste for the kiss and her request for it to never happen again.

"What's wrong? Am I not hot enough?" Melissa looked slightly taken aback by the rejection.

"It's not that, I just like someone else."

"Aria, can I talk to you?" Spencer finds her voice and grabs her by her wrist as she leads her over to the other side of the room. "If you like her I won't stand in your way but there's something that you need to know, I like you Aria, as more than a friend and I would love it if you would consider going on a date with me but if you don't want to we can just forget this ever happened, just please say something."

"I would have said something if you took a breath and stopped talking for a second there Spence, you're cute when you're nervous." Aria laughs at Spencer's antics and is thrilled that she admitted to liking her back. "I would be honoured to go on a date with you."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, in fact I am so sure that I can now say that we are officially dating." The dazzling smile she got in response was enough to blind anyone in a three mile radius. 

"Hey Mel, if you kiss my girlfriend again there will be trouble." Spencer slipped right into protective girlfriend mode.

"I know Spence, I only did it because it was painful to watch you two being love sick puppies but pussyfooting around the issue and jealousy has always been your downfall sis. I knew you would spill, you just needed a little encouragement." Aria couldn't help the laugh that had bubbled up in her throat and tried to contain it as Spencer glared at her but the firm arm that was laced over her shoulder betrayed the message enough her to ignore it until the two other girls couldn't help but join in. Everything is exactly as it should be.
