not easy

mostly angst <3

Their first kiss was two months after their adventure to get Maleficent's scepter. It was a heat of the moment sort of kiss, done out of spite and anger.

Evie still wasn't having an easy time at school even though it was clear she had befriended both Mal and Jay.

She had been cornered on numerable occasions by disgusting boys who took her innate flirtiness and obvious beauty as an invitation to try to convince her to sleep with them. A few had even tried to kiss her. These encounters always left her shaken up and her friend's furious.

Somehow, rumors began even though Jay threatened to make Evie's harassers wish they were never born. Evie was being called every bad name imaginable and hardly anyone had the tact to even do it behind her back. The only time people shut up and left Evie alone was when Mal was with her.

Due to this, Evie had become almost clingy. It wasn't intentional, it was only because she felt safer.

At least, that's what it started out as.

Whenever Mal knew Evie was feeling particularly anxious, she would reach over and take her hand. She didn't even think about it. It wasn't a big deal, not to them. It made Evie feel more comfortable. It happened so often that at some point, it just became second nature.

Evie and Mal were spending more and more time together even without the boys being present. Jay and Carlos seemed to know something was up before they did. Hey weren't just becoming better friends, it was clearly a lot more than that.

Evie was significantly more comfortable, but rumors and names were still hurled in her direction. And Mal was fed up.

One day after school when Evie, Mal, Carlos, and Jay were walking out together, someone said something particularly foul in Evie's direction.

Jay, fuming, was just about to go after the kid when the unexpected happened.

Mal kissed Evie.

Everyone that saw was shocked into utter silence.

Unlike what Mal had been expecting, Evie smiled. It was a shocked and kind of shy smile, but a smile none the less.

"About damn time," Jay had muttered.

Mal had done it just to shut everyone up once and for all. She hadn't really been expecting that Evie would actually like it. But she had. And it was like everything suddenly changed.

The next day, no one said a less than friendly word to Evie. No one dared. They knew they could expect the wrath of Mal if they did.

It didn't take long for word to reach the ears of the Evil Queen and Maleficent that their daughters had kissed. They had already been angry enough about them befriending each other. That news only pushed them over the edge.

Maleficent was furious and called Mal a disappointment and a failure, things she was used to, but not so severely. Mal had told her mother she didn't care what she thought and that she was done doing her bidding.

Evie's mother was bitter about her daughter's lack of taste and failure to find a prince. Evie had no defense for herself. She didn't have to. She only defended Mal.

The Evil Queen all but disowned Evie and Mal was forced out of her house and still had a scar on her arm because of it.

There was an old abandoned house that Jay had found and the four of them had made into a hideout of sorts. The conditions were low, even by Isle standards, but that's the only place the two of them could go.

Evie had cried that first night, but admitted in the morning that it might be nice not to have to live up to her mother's standards for once. Mal agreed. They were free in that little run down house.

And that's where they stayed.

The boys helped them fix it up until it was livable. Jay stole things, with help from Mal. Carlos and Evie fixed anything that was broken. Evie made curtains to keep drafts out, Mal painted the walls.

Jay and Carlos practically lived there for as much time as they spent with their friends, but that house belonged to Mal and Evie.

For a long while, both feared that one day, their mothers would come and destroy what happiness they had together, but that day never came.

For whatever reason, they were left alone and allowed to remain together.

Figuring out where to go from there was the hard part. Nothing on the Isle was ever going to be easy.

p.s. this is just part 1, there's more after this dont worry
