So Much More Than Nothing (LDR ADU)

5

Carmilla fluffed her hair for the fifth time, doing her best to find the perfect angle. Her favorite black ripped skinny jeans hugged her lower half, while her red plaid button-up covered the black spaghetti strap top underneath. Her sleeves were rolled up to the elbows and hung open, leaving her torso exposed. Gayness achieved. At least it would be if she could just get her damn hair right.

"Got a hot date tonight?" Lafontaine leaned against the bathroom door frame. They'd been there awhile, just watching their friend prep herself in pure Carmilla fashion. Normal girls huffed and fixed their make up in a flurry; Carmilla did the huffing part, but she occasionally threatened her reflection if something wasn't right. As of right now, Laf just relished in the look of Carmilla's face as she thread her fingers through black locks.

Their comment startled the angry brunette enough that her hand jerked, and she pulled a hand full of her hair. She let out a soft grunt, rolling her eyes and returning to her project.

"What do you want, Ginger Nerd? I have-. Wait!" Carmilla smirked as she slowly pulled her hand out of her hair, attaining the swoop she'd spent 15 minutes working towards. "I got it! You are good for more than just pressing buttons."

Lafontaine feigned offense. "Uh, I make sure you and your fancy little guitar don't wipe out on stage and fall on your ass."

"Whatever." Carmilla chuckled. She knows Laf knows they're highly appreciated. Carmilla wouldn't be giving them crap if she didn't. "What do you want, Laf?"

"Nothing. I have to need something to come visit my best-"

"Which hat do you want to borrow this time?" Carmilla crossed her arms knowingly. The only time Laf used the "best friend" card is when they want something, generally Carmilla's clothes. Mainly her hats.

"...the snapback with the glow in the dark dots."

"Of course, you want that one!" Carmilla pushed past her friend in the direction of her closet.

"I can't help it. The little designs remind me of my experiments."

Carmilla chucked the hat at the science nerd and flipped them off.

"Thanks, Fang-Face." Laf put the hat on backwards and bowed playfully.

Before she could make a snarky response, Carmilla's laptop began to ring, letting her know that Laura was Skype messaging her.

"Alright, R2D2, time to go." Carmilla positioned her laptop on the desk. The empty desk that she never used because...well, she didn't want to. What was she going to do? Homework?

"Aw, yes, because that's exactly what I want to do, watch you make goo goo eyes at your girlfriend." Laf shook their head and turned for the exit.

Carmilla ignored them, pressing the call button and sliding her rolling chair over and positioning herself. And repositioning herself. And then again, trying to find the perfect angle before Laura answered. She managed to find it just as the ringing stopped. Her hands on the bottom cushion, legs spread slightly, leaning forward.

"Hey." She heard that quiet, angelic voice exit her computer. But the angel it was coming from wasn't there.

Carmilla chuckled. "Turn on your camera, you spaz."

"Whoops." There was the sound of the button being forcibly smashed on the keyboard, and her face appeared. "Is that better?"

It was quiet on both ends of the call. Laura was waiting for Carmilla to respond, but all she saw was Carmilla's face glued to the camera. She was starting to wonder if maybe her computer froze. In reality, Carmilla was waiting for her heart to respond.
