#over years

They reluctantly restrict themselves to post it notes that say “Kick Me” and some gentle ribbing. It helps that they’re seeing a lot more of each other now. Star is training to be Queen and Janna is tagging along because she doesn’t know what else to do with her life. Heckapoo has her own job, which is pretty boring usually and she’s happy to have a challenge in her life. 

They slowly and surely become friends who mess with each other, and Heckapoo realizes a year or two late that this is a Grown Up Human Mortal now and starts flirting on automatic. That’s what she does. It’s her niche. None of the rest of her colleagues are into relationships in the mortal sense, although Omnitraxus gets hit on by a lot of quantum magical physicists. But she figured out a long time ago that she’s more vaguely people shaped than the rest Glossaryck’s creations, and she does get attention and flirting back is a good way to mess with people. 

She’s slightly startled when Janna takes her way too seriously. She’s never dealt with anyone for long enough to get involved like this. Mortals in her realm either die or go home and slowly forget, and the Queens of Mewni are usually boring. But Janna is way too interested and they see each other every few eons Heckapoo-time. Practically every week This.. is new. 

Janna is also way too interested in the mechanics of the time dialation in Heckapoo’s home dimension and suggests some tests. Just a few weeks, you know? It sounds freaky, she wants to see it for herself. 

It’s an interesting few weeks. 

They settle into a pattern. Janna is a nice family girl, she doesn’t want to leave her folks behind for too long, but she can go weeks or a month. They chill. Explore the dimensions, play lots of video games. The company is strange, she’s never had anyone but herself around like this before. She misses it a lot when Janna leaves for centuries. 

They do five years once, and it’s scary how much it hurts when Janna forgets most of it. 

It’s a weird relationship and frankly it isn’t until they’re getting seated together at dinner parties that Heckapoo realizes she’s kind of dating someone. Casually, for sure, after all they can go millenia her time without seeing each other, and Janna has her own thing going on. But it’s dating for sure. She likes it.
