~~get ready for some jazzalil fluff y'all~~

"I just. I don't know Jemilla! Schwoopsies set doesn't start till nine and we're both off work for the day!" Zazzalil curled up on the couch, pleading with Jemilla as she put down her sketchbook filled with her latest ideas for stories and drawings.

"I know Zazz I've just got to finish reading these files. If I'm not prepared for court on Monday, I'm sure to lose this case." Zazzalil groaned but deep down knew how much Jemilla loved her work and didn't want to stop her from doing it. Friday afternoons were interesting like this. No matter how much work you got done during the week there was always just one last thing that couldn't wait. Zazz didn't know how Jemilla could stand having set office hours but smiled knowing how much Jemilla loved helping people. Luckily, Jemilla couldn't work all evening because Schwoopsie had a big performance at Snarl's this evening. Zazz wasn't even sure Snarl's was a bar before Schwoopsie booked this gig. 

Zazzalil snuggled up against Jemilla as she inhaled the other woman's familiar scent and let her running dialogue fade into the background as she dozed off.

Jemilla found it hard to get any more work done with Zazzalil pressed up against her so she gave up on reading the files and started to absentmindedly stroke her hand through Zazz's hair. Jemillas thoughts were crowded and messy and knew what would get her mind off of it. She picked up Zazz's sketchbook off the table, trying to move as little as possible as to not disturb the now sleeping Zazzalil, and began looking through drawings and writing ideas until she settled on a drawing that captured her attention. It was done in charcoal, shadows bringing out distinct features of a woman's face leaning over a pile of papers. Jemilla suddenly realized this was a drawing of her Zazzalil managed to capture while she was distracted with work. Almost on cue, she heard a snore from the girl beneath her and realized how proud she was to call Zazz her girlfriend. Jemilla suddenly saw a caption at the bottom of the drawing. 

"An effortless masterpiece in which no one can compare. Jemilla." 

Jemilla beamed down at the drawing, wanting to relish this moment. She eventually closed the sketchbook and put it on the table, curling up with Zazzalil and letting her thoughts settle, time escape her, and drifting off to sleep.

~~time skip~~

"Zazz. Zazz. Zazz get up! we're late for Schwoopsies' thing!" Zazzalil fell from where she was comfortably napping as Jemilla suddenly jumped up from the couch.

 Zazz grabbed her phone to check the time. 8:00. Shit. Schwoopsies' stand up started in an hour. Zazz heard Jemilla running in and out of the bathroom trying to get her hair and makeup done while she stood there in amazement. 

"Babe! Move your ass we fell asleep and we're gonna be late!" Jemilla finally stopped doing her eyeliner and actually turned around to look at her girlfriend. "What?"

"You're just really fucking beautiful," Zazz said in disbelief

"I know, I know, you love me but move," Jemilla gave Zazz a quick kiss as she pushed her into the bedroom. Eventually both the women changed and were out the door rushing to get to the club where Schwoopsie was performing. 8:57. They rushed into Snarl's, light practically bursting from the building, flashing and blaring headliners for the evening. They quickly found spots with Emberly, Grunt, Ducker, Tiblyn, Keerie, and SB; they were a big group shoved into a small corner of the club but were all there to support their friend so it didn't matter. 

A host of the show comes out to start introducing the comics and the night ahead of them. Jemilla and Zazz curled up in the corner of a booth and started to watch the stage, Jemilla heard a small yawn come from underneath her.

"You doing alright?" she whispered as to not disturb anyone else in the booth

"Yeah, just a little post-sleep grogginess is all. I should be fine with a drink though."

"Well, why don't we go get one then?" Zazz nodded and the two women nodded at the rest of the group who seemed to be immersed in the performance and got up. Schwoopsie hadn't quite started her set yet so they felt comfortable getting up for a little bit. Zazz dragged Jemilla across the small club to the bar.

"What will you ladies be having?" the bartender asked

"Just a beer thanks" 

"Add Shirley temple" Jemilla was given a strange look by her girlfriend. "What? We're going to need a designated driver!"

"Okay honey" Zazz gave Jemilla a quick peck on the lips as the bartender came back with their drinks.

The girls made their way back to the booth and curled up as Schwoopsie took the stage. 

"So, has this ever happened to anyone else?" Whoops came from their table as the group of friends began to recognize the material, "I was just walking down the road the other day, just strolling down the road..." 

The rest of the night was a blur of laughs, smiles, and way too much alcohol. Jemilla held Zazz tightly as she stumbled on the way to the car. Jemilla opened the door for Zazz before going around to the other side to start the car. 

"Hey, Milla?" Jemilla smiled at the nickname

"Yeah Zazz?" Jemilla responded, taking her hand.

"I love you"

"I love you too, my little Firebringer."
