"Can you... can you help me?" Cordelia asked.
Misty smiled as she took Cordelia's hand. "Ya ain't gotta asked. I don't mind it at all."
"Thank you." Cordelia smiled shyly, caressing Misty's hand as she began getting up. "Is there a trashcan near?"
Misty got up as well. "There is. I can toss everythin' if ya'd like." She said.
"If you don't mind..." Cordelia squeezed Misty's hand.
Misty shook her head as she squeezed Cordelia's hand back. "I don't mind at all. Stay here, I'll be right back, okay?" she asked before pecking Cordelia's lips, and then pulled away to gather up the trash.
Cordelia nodded, melting at the small kiss. She felt her body shrinking as Misty walked away. Being alone with so many people around... that wasn't nice.
Misty hadn't even thought of the anxiety walking away from Cordelia could have caused her. She was quick to toss the trash and made her way back to Cordelia. When she grabbed the woman's hand, she could feel the anxiety inside of her. "Hey, what's the matter?" she asked softly.
Cordelia instantly clenched on Misty's hand. She shook her head. "I-I'm still not used t-to being alone and n-not being able to see things... it's okay, though."
Misty frowned. "I'm sorry, darlin'. I won't leave ya, I promise. Never." She said before grabbing the bag of strawberries. "I think doin' small things like this will help."
Cordelia nodded. "You're right. Thank y-you." She took a deep breath.
Misty frowned before pulling Cordelia closer. "Hey, it's gonna be okay." She said.
Cordelia stepped closer, wrapping her arm around Misty's waist. "Yes," she nodded. Her body trembled a little. In all her life, she had never felt so vulnerable, feeling like she had no power of her own powers and protection.
Misty frowned as she held Cordelia close. "Darlin'..." she pouted before kissing her forehead. She tried her hardest not to invade Cordelia's feelings, but it was hard not to when they were so strong. "We can go back to the academy if ya want."
Cordelia buried her face into Misty's neck. She shook her head. "It's okay," she whispered. "Just... just a second..."
Misty nodded softly, understandably. "Okay, darlin'. We've got all the time in the world." She said.
Cordelia nodded. She took a few deep breaths before pulling away. "T-thank you..."
Misty smiled sadly as she nodded. "Of course. Just tell me when you're ready to go back and we will."
"Thank you." Cordelia's hand slipped down to reach for Misty's. On its way, she ended up brushing it against Misty's ass. "Oh, God," she quickly said and pulled her hand away. "I'm sorry."
Misty chuckled shyly as she looked down. "It's okay," she said as she grabbed Cordelia's hand and instantly laced their fingers together. "Don't worry 'bout it, alright? Wanna get goin' to the flower shop?"
Cordelia nodded nervously. Her thoughts were all over the place. Shit shit shit! She caressed her fingers back.
Misty bit her lip as she began to guide them to the sidewalk. She could feel the anxiety radiating off of Cordelia. She squeezed her soft hand. "It's okay. I promise." She said.
Cordelia smiled shyly. "Can I use your vision?"
Misty nodded softly. "Yes, ya can. I don't mind if it'll help ya." She said.
"Thank you." Cordelia seemed to be saying it a lot. She focused on the task and began seeing the streets. She had missed it so much, and she began seeing how she took it all for granted the times she complained about being outside.
