Heartfelt apology [Private/Willow]

Willow's thoughts were brought to the events at the fountain from time-to-time, even after the time had passed. She considered what it could have meant, or possibly have been. He would consider what would happen if Warren hadn't shown up or if she was just a bit faster. Did she want to kiss that fauna that had dragged her into the fountain? That was rather hard to say as Willow was unsure of what she should have done. All she knew was that she didn't want to regret her inaction. Perhaps things would have been different if she had gone through with; maybe the two of them would laugh about it afterwards and become good friends. Maybe it would have just been really awkward and they wouldn't have liked it. The possibilities of it made the tomboy sick to her stomach as she thought about how she simply ran away from the situation.

It was one of those times, in fact, Willow laying down on her bed while reading a book. Of course, she allowed her mind to wander which brought her thoughts to the fish fauna at the fountain once again, causing her to give a soft sigh. However, she didn't get far into her thoughts this time as she soon sat up, shaking her head. She didn't want to just sit there and wait for nothing to happen or until she forgot about the entire situation. Sitting on the bed, she gave a soft sigh, only to be interrupted by the sudden knocking on her door. Standing up, she forced the thoughts out of her head, deciding that she would need to take action some other time. Figuring the person knocking on her door was either Warren or Richard, she called out, "One moment, I'll be right there!" as she moved over towards said door.

Opening revealed someone that she certainly didn't expect at her door. Strange how just after deciding to not just think of her, the fauna appeared herself, causing Willow's lips to part slightly in surprise, her eyes widening. Almost not being able to believe her eyes, she stood there for a moment, wondering if she was dreaming. Eventually, she cleared her throat, shaking off whatever surprise that she had and greeting, "H-hey... Yo, Cudd- I mean..." she paused, correcting herself, "Heya.. Glace, right? What's up..?" she asked the girl.

Willow blinked once, trying to figure out what Glace meant by apologize. Had she done anything wrong to Willow at all? After looking back on it, the only real thing that it could have been would have been was the entire fountain situation at all, but she certainly had no hard feeling towards Glace for that. The only person that she was upset with would be herself. The tomboy tilted her head to the side curiously, looking over the girl for just a moment before shaking her head, "You don't need to, it's not like I'm mad at you or anything. No hard feelings and what not, y'know?" she said, giving the fauna a hint of a smile, showing that she'd like this entire situation to be fairly easy going, if possible.

Willow gave a short hum afterwards, considering something, "Actually..." she began, but spoke in a softer tone, "I think I should really be apologizing to you, so..." she stepped back, clearing the door way and inviting the girl inside, "So come on in and I'd be more than happy to do just that and talk and apologize." Once Glace would walk inside, Willow closed the door and made her way to her bed, taking a seat on the edge of it and stretching lightly, "Whew... erm... take a seat anywhere you'd like, really, alright?" she said, looking over towards the girl briefly, "Make yourself at home." she said, once again adopting a mildly comforting tone.

Willow gave a soft chuckle, looking over towards the girl next to her for just a short moment. She certainly didn't mind Glace sitting next to her on the edge of her bed, in fact finding her company rather comforting. Giving a ever-so-slightly awkward smile, she simply sighed, beginning to explain what she meant, "I wanted to apologize for... well, freaking out back then." she said. She paused, thinking about what to say next, so many things going through her mind that she felt she should say. To start her off, she decided with, "Y'know... I didn't really mean to just bail. It was just all kind've a shock what we were... about to do and well..." She gave a second sigh, shaking her head, showing her own mild amount of regret, "Of course, it's not like I hate you or anything, I'd have to be crazy to dislike you for... well, something like that."

Willow leaned back, possibly making it somewhat obvious that the tomboy was blushing as she went through the events in her mind. She gave a very slight lick of her lips, unsure where to even go from there. Eventually she decided, "So... no hard feelings or anything, alright?" she said. Truthfully, she was feeling quite awkward in her current situation. Not that she was uncomfortable or anything, but more just unsure what she should really do. For now, she stayed quiet, giving the fauna enough time to respond and say her part, hoping that she felt the same way at the very least. Although it's doubtful that she would have hard feelings when she was the one that visited her in the first place.

Willow blinked as the fauna slid over just slightly closer to the girl, wondering what she was doing for the time being. She wasn't... eager to do something like at the fountain again, was she? The tomboy swallowed hard, staying still so that she could give all of her attention to Glace and what she was saying. Every single word seemed beautiful, albeit the true meaning being somewhat confusing. She was... hoping that they would have went through with it? Truly? It was a bit difficult to believe, all things considered, but Glace didn't seem like the type of person to lie, especially about things like that. But that brought a new question to the tomboy's mind. What did she feel about the fauna? Curiosity? Intrigue? ... Desire? It was not a question that was easily answer.

Parting her lips, Willow looked towards Glace to speak. But whatever she wanted to say was quickly lost as their eyes met, her own eyes once again getting lost in the beautiful orbs of the fauna. Although that wasn't surprising as she felt every single part of her was quite stunning. Her body certainly, but anyone with eyes could have told that, so it was more. Truly, the fauna was the most memorizing thing that Willow had ever encountered in her life. And the way she taunted and teased the tomboy the way nobody had ever before certainly didn't help.

Thankfully, Willow wasn't the type to take teasing without returning some of her own, closing her eyes and exhaling slowly. By the time she opened them, she was smiling towards the fauna softly. She moved her arm to around the back of Glace's waist, holding onto her gently before pulling her closer towards the tomboy, just enough so that their thighs began to touch, "I..." she began, finding that her mouth had gone dry at some point from gazing into the fauna's eyes. Swallowing hard, "I'm really glad you came here today..."

What was Willow waiting for in that moment? For Warren or perhaps her roommate to barge in and stop the two from spending more time together? Or maybe she was just waiting for the right time. Which brought the question to her mind: Why wasn't this the right time? Willow swallowed hard as the two of them became closer physically, Glace's arms wrapping around the tomboy's neck, causing Willow's hands to gently rest at the girl's waist. It was actually getting quite hard to stop and think about her reactions. Would she regret this later on?

After deciding that she couldn't ever find herself regretting this fauna, Willow decided to stop waiting. She moved her hand upwards, gripping Glace's wrist with her hand and pulling it away. But she didn't force her to get away, just repositioning. She pressed the girl's hand on the tomboy's chest, allowing her to feel the rhythmic thump of her beating heart, one of someone that was just through a rather strenuous exercise, "My answer to your question... it... does this whenever you call me 'Darling'." she answered.

She allowed herself to push forward lightly, their faces getting closer and closer to one another, "Whenever I see you... whenever I'm near you... The same happens. To me... you'll be my Cuddlefish. Is that... alright..?" she asked, giving a light lick of her lips. Perhaps she should have went in right then, but she wanted to hear her response first. She needed to hear that everything was the same. And then she'd press forward, pressing her lips onto the beautiful fauna's, holding the two of them tightly in a kiss that relieved so much tension in her body.

Exhilaration shot through Willow's body as both of them seemed to have the same mutual curiosity and attraction as the other. What could be more perfect than meeting someone that makes you want to spend more time with them and explore those feelings more and more? It was almost enough to make the tomboy's entire body shudder with delight, only wishing that she were better with expressing herself to better explain. But with that kiss, she realized there was no need. While she moved her lips along Glace's and enjoyed the taste and warmth of her mouth, she knew that they understood eachother as well as they possibly needed to. At the moment at the very least. Perhaps it was even a blessing that Warren interrupted them both at the fountain, meaning that it led them both to this moment where they could enjoy eachother on their own.

Willow's hands went around Glace as she allowed her to push her ontop of the bed, continuing the kiss as well as she could, despite her inexperience. She almost didn't want to break it off, but she needed to say more. Allowing the kiss to linger, she eventually broke it off, a strand of spittle connecting their lips for several moments as the tomboy panted softly, "I... Gl-... Cuddlefish..." she poke softly, "I need to know though... W-will... you... go on a date with me..?" she asked, gazing into her potential girlfriend's eyes as her own face turned beat red, rather embarrassed about needing to even ask. Perhaps it was a given, but she needed to be sure.

She kept her arms around the girl's waist, holding her on her bed as she waited for her answer. Please for the love of the Novack family, don't have someone interfere now of all times.

Willow let out a soft sigh of relief as her new girlfriend(?) accepted going on a date with her. She felt ecstatic, like nothing could ruin this moment for her. She smiled lovingly at the girl as she nodded, "Yeah, alright... good night m-" before she could finish it seemed as though Glace was already asleep, causing the tomboy to let out a soft chuckle of amusement. And there she was, laying on her bed with a fauna ontop of her as they held hands. It was quite euphoric, never really believing that something could feel this wonderful in her life. Perhaps they were rushing this new thing with kissing and dates, perhaps they should get to know eachother more. But the way Willow saw it, they enjoyed eachother so much and there was plenty of time to get to know eachother as girlfriends.

Willow felt there wasn't much more to do other than to accept this, wrapping her free arm around the fauna's waist and holding her as she snoozed softly. Such a cute face, even while passed out so suddenly. She pressed one final kiss onto the woman's cheek before settling in and closing her eyes. It wouldn't be too much longer before she joined her girlfriend in slumber, wondering what the new day would bring.
