“Sounds great!” She threaded her hand through Cat’s.
True loves kiss (Lesbian romance O/O)
Cat nodded resting her head on Aurelie's shoulder. ”it is. I don't know about you but I don't really want to leave just yet, ” she admits. If her plan tomorrow works this could be the last time she does this.
“Leave?” Aurelie asked, her heart skipping a beat. She couldn’t leave.
"I just mean go to my room for the night," She said gripping Aurelie's hand. "I just want to stay like this." She closed her eyes lightly smiling.
“Oh, right, of course,” Aurelie replied, relaxing instantly. “Me neither.” She sighed contentedly, feeling a bit dumb for assuming the worst.
"Good," She whispered. "Let's just talk." Her eyes opened and smile still on her face.
“Okay,” Aurelie agreed, smiling as well. “What do you want to talk about?”
"What exactly is the curse?" She hesitantly asked. She's been wondering for a while not sure if it would be comfortable to ask.
Aurelie took a deep breath. “Oh. Well, on my eighteenth birthday, I will fall into a deep sleep and can only be woken up by a true love’s kiss,” she whispered, looking down at her lap.
Cat gripped her hand even tighter. "We'll figure something out," she mumbled. Her free hand went over ther joined hands,
“Yeah, like finding my true love,” Aurelie sighed, sure that was the only way to end the curse. She wondered if it could possibly be Cat. She really liked Cat, but did she love her?
Cat stayed quiet. Not moving her head from Aurelie's shoulder as she thought.
“Um…that’s what everyone said, anyway,” she added, trying to fill the silence.
(just a heads up i won’t be on a ton for the next couple of weeks so my replies will be kinda sporadic)
”like I said we’ll figure it out, ” Cat tried to reassure lifting her head and kissing the princess on the cheek.
Aurelie smiled faintly, slightly nodding. “Okay, thanks,” she mumbled.
She hesitated keeping her forehead of Aurelie's shoulder for a moment. She tried thinking of a plan or at least something to say to make Aurelie feel better, but she couldn't think of anything. "I'm sorry," She whispered sitting up.
“Why are you sorry?” Aurelie asked, confused. She turned to Cat with her eyebrows raised.
Cat blushed. ”I just I don't know what to do. I don't want you to get hurt, ” she mumbled. This wasn't right. She usually had a plan for everything how could she suddenly not?
“Oh, um, it’s okay,” she sighed, having adjusted to the idea, finally. Aurelie no longer had the blind faith she had as a little girl or the defiance she had a year or twi ago. But it still set off the butterflies in Aurelie’s stomach when Cat said that.
Cat sighed lightly and shifted on the bench. She faced Aurelie. ”I'll meet you here tomorrow morning. I have the day off too, ” she said kissing Aurelie on the cheek.
Aurelie smiled softly. “Sounds good,” she replied. “I’ll be ready.”
”Can’t wait, ” she said before standing up. She pecked her on the lips one more time before leaving.
(time skip?)
(Yeah)
Aurelie woke up the next morning excited to go hang out with Cat. She brushed her hair and washed her face with extra care, putting ribbons in her hair instead of wearing a tiara or circlet. She found a plain, cream dress and put it on with some short brown boots, hurrying to the meeting spot.
Cat waited beside the bench. Flattening her dress. It was blue and reached her knees. It was faded and had a hole or two near the seam but it was the nicest dress she owned. There where hidden pockets for things she snatched and her own money. Her hair was tied back in a neat bun. She smiled when she saw Aurelie.
Aurelie beamed, making eye contact with Cat as she closed the gap between them, standing next to Cat. “So, are we going to head off now?” she asked, eyes shining with excitement.
“Yep,” She said before softly kissing Aurelie. Her hand connected with the princess’s. She pulled away. “You ready amore?”
"I'm ready," she repeated, lacing their fingers together contentedly. Along with the dress and boots, she wore a deep maroon hooded cloak (though the hood was currently down) so that she wouldn't be as easily spotted and recognized.
