Harlivy dare I say more

Date night

Harley was ecstatic to put it lightly. Literally bouncing off the walls but with more class obviously. She was an Olympic level gymnast, please and thank you.

It was date night, something Harley looked forward to each week. Due to being criminals or in Ivy's mind an activist, finding time to settle down together was hard. So, they made sure to keep one day completely free to spend with each other, no distractions allowed. You know quality time as a couple and shit. This week it was Harley's turn to plan the date.

Her date idea was sparked from a conversation the pair had the other night. The late night, paired with how comfortable she was around Harley, had given Ivy the strength to be vulnerable and share something about her past that still upset her. She had shared the fact she had never experienced prom thanks to her farther.

Flashback

" Is there a place you haven't been kicked out of Harley" Ivy asked amused by her nutcase of a girlfriend.

" I take offence to that question due to its implications. To answer, even though I shouldn't, yes there is actually" Harley playfully responded.

"Oh yeah? Where would that be then ferret?"

"Wow, you're really coming for my throat tonight ain't ya. It was prom. I wasn't kicked out because for once I was not bored and didn't want it to end" Harley answered honestly. The nostalgia making her verbally sigh.

" My, my was Harleen actually content? Oh to be a fly on that wall because I don't fully believe it. You was horrid as a teenager" Ivy teasingly replied.

"Correction, I was horrid in all stages of life present included. Prom, however, was one of the happiest nights of my childhood. There was no arguments, tension or passive aggression. I felt free that night, from family and their abusive ways. My date had been a long time crush and it was as though a dream came true for me that night. Slow dancing with him had sent chills down my spine. I had my first true kiss that night, sure it sucked but I didn't care in that moment. It was a first. That night was perfect in my eyes" Harley spoke with deep emotion clouding her voice.

The speech gave Ivy a secondhand feeling of affection it was that emotive. However, it also brought a painful reminder to her. The emotions started to swirl in her chest. This annoyed Ivy as she felt her feelings on the matter were childish and pointless.

"Sorry got lost in my memory there, hey Pam are you okay ?" Harley asked worriedly.

"Yh sorry got lost in thought as well baby girl. That night sounded magical, innocent even. It's nice to hear you still feel so fondly about it, shows how good the experience was for you" she smiled whilst saying it. Ivy wasn't bitter or envious just happy Harley had good memories to counter her many bad.

"Ivy can I ask? Or would you like me to change the subject?" Harley asked sweetly.

Ivy sighed but knew she should answer truthfully instead of carrying all her burdens alone. You know self care and shit.

" I was thinking about my past is all. As you know I've missed out on a lot of experiences. Prom was one of them. I guess as stupid as it sounds, I mourn my past losses. I feel as though I never got to experience normality. Most of my past memories and experiences are negative. I even feel wronged. I mourn the fact I never got to be a child, screw that, normal. I guess I'm saddened at the reality of my past. I never got to experience the butterflies in my stomach due to being asked to be someone's date to prom. I never got to experience slow dancing with said date. That childlike innocence. The candy cart there to munch on, the punch your date brings to you. The normalcy of life was something I never had. Stupid I know but ..."
