I love them🥰

Lily sat beside Mara, quietly doodling her as she tending to her little garden in the Lighthouse. She was so, so pretty and Lily found herself wondering, frequently, what kissing her might be like. For science. Not that Lily had ever kissed anyone before so it would be a poor experiment but she had to start somewhere and Mara was always really nice to her and her lips looked really soft.

Lily shook her head, returning her focus to her drawing. She was finishing the small furrow Mara’s brow always got when she concentrated. The drawing was basically done, but Lily wanted to do some more shading, and her hair wasn’t quite right.

“Whatcha doin’?” Mara asked, causing Lily to jump.

“Nothing!”

“Really? It looked like you were drawing,” Mara smiled, sitting beside Lily on the bench. She was really close. Lily could smell the apricots from her shampoo. She always wanted to ask where Mara got it.

“I- I was but it was… nothing,” Lily stammered, attempting to hide the sketch.

“How do you draw nothing?” Mara asked with a frown.

“I, I wasn’t drawing nothing it just… isn’t important.”

“Then why are you hiding it?”

This girl was as bad as her! Is this how others felt when she asked questions? Was this how Lucanis felt when she asked about Spite? Maybe she needed to lay off.

“I-it… well…” Lily stammered again before she sighed and surrendered the book to Mara.

Mara took the journal carefully, studying the art.

“Is… is this me?”

“Yeah! Yeah… it is. I guess it’s not that good if you can’t tell huh?” Lily chuckled.

“No! No, it’s… it’s gorgeous,” Mara said, still staring at the drawing. “You’re really good.”

“Oh! Thank you. I just like to draw. Helps me stay focused sometimes. I learn more about people when I draw them,” Lily explained. She took the sketch book from Mara, flipping to show her some of the other portraits of the Veilguard.

“Like Harding, she tenses her jaw when she’s mad. But you’d never notice! I certainly didn’t until I drew this,” Lily showed her a drawing of a laughing Harding. “It’s really subtle, right by her molars, but the muscle twitches a little. Or Davrin! He always looks so serious but if you watch his eyes they crinkle in the corners when Assan is being silly.”

Mara listened, truly listened, as Lily continued to ramble, flipping through her book to show off her drawings.

“And what have you learned about me?” Mara asked, bright green eyes holding her gaze for a moment.

“Well… um…” Lily felt herself blush again. “You get a little furrow in your brow right here,” she gestured to her own face. “When you concentrate. You don’t make a lot of eye contact unless you’re talking to Lucanis. You do this little flick with your wrist when you’re tapping into your magic on the battlefield.”

“Oh wow,” Mara was blushing slightly too.

“Oh! And you blush just like that when Lucanis says your name all nice and slow.” Lily said before she could stop herself.

Mara tilted her head, blushing harder now. They’d drifted closer, now shoulder to shoulder and Lily couldn’t stop herself from glancing at Mara’s pretty lips. Mara’s gaze drifted as well and Lily had to bite her lip slightly to stop herself from speaking. It seemed now was as good a time as any.

Lily moved slowly, worried about scaring her friend. But Mara was moving in too and soon their lips were touching.

Mara’s lips really were soft. Lily wondered if everyone’s lips were like that. Her’s weren’t. She chewed them too much when she was thinking. Her eyes fluttered shut as she focused on the sensation and when Mara pulled back, Lily followed for a second before realizing the kiss was over.

“Oh! S-sorry-“

“That was nice,” Mara said softly.

“Yes. It was. Thank you.” Lily said, face still warm.

Mara giggled, which made Lily’s heart skip.

“You’re welcome. And thank you.”
