I'm Obsessed Do You Love Me Like That?

Present Day
~~~~~

Clementine and Violet were sat on the very top of the bell tower, they slowly hobbled up the stairs, the blonde helping the brunette up, even though she was off her crutches she still needed to go slow.

The pair sat on the ledge with their legs dangling over the drop beneath them, a blanket draped over their shoulders and kept out the abysmal cold. The sun started to set among the horizon, the golden sky oozed with hues of tangerines and pomegranate pink tones; the sky slowly morphed into a darker crimson colour, then a deep purple haze grew with darker edges, the almost pitch-black sky with specs of white piercing through creating patterns and shapes above.

But Clementine wasn't looking at the stars.

She was looking at the blonde beside her, admiring every feature from her sharp jawline to her golden locks to her sage green eyes that were like a virescent forest, the forest that Clementine loved to get lost in, she could spend hours just looking into her pearly green orbs that glowed under the moonlight.

Violet turned to face Clem, the moon shining its dull, silver glow on her cheek. "What are you looking at?" The blonde spoke, "You,"

"Why?" the girl asked with a perplexed look on her face,

"Because you're my girlfriend and I love you," Clementine smiled, the blonde placed a finger under the brunette's chin and placed a small peck on her lips.

"I love you too"

The girls looked into each other's eyes for what felt like an eternity, falling deeper and deeper in love, if that was possible. They felt like there were no worries in the entire world when they were together like they could achieve anything.

"Clem, I've always wanted to do something with someone I cared about, I know your leg is still dodgy but, would you like to dance?"

The blonde said whilst standing up and offering her hand out to her girlfriend, the brunette looked up and accepted her hand, slowly getting up and hopping over to the blonde.

They swayed back and forth slowly, taking in every aspect of the near-perfect night. Violet came in closer and hugged her girlfriend tightly, she leant her head down in the crook of the brunette's neck. Clementine hummed at the comforting embrace, a small smile grew on her face.

"I never thought that I would have fallen in love with someone this perfect, someone like you. After Minerva left I felt alone and abandoned, anyone that I had ever cared about had either died or left me and I just felt scared; but you came along, you came into my life and made me feel again, you made me feel alive and you made me able to love again. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you, I'm in love with you Clem"  the blonde spoke softly,

A deep crimson red crawled into the brunette's face and along her cheeks and across the bridge of her nose. "I'm in love with you too Vi, I've never told you this but, when I was in hospital, in the coma, I was able to hear everything you were saying and all that I could think about was you and coming back to you. You're the reason why I'm still fighting"

Violet smiled, her eyes welling up with tears, she wiped the pearly bead off her face with the back of her hand, "sorry, I'm just really happy"

"Don't cry, I'm gonna cry." She said whilst bringing her hands up to the blonde's pale face and placing them either side of her face and wiped the tears away.

"How did I get so lucky to end up with you?" Violet spoke softly, "you're such a dork, it's cold, do you want to go back to the dorm and watch a movie?"

"Sounds perfect, 'Below Her Mouth' or 'Call Me By Your Name'?"

"Mmm, how about both?"

"I like that too"
