Chapter 14
-Emma Pov-
I walk into the closet with Alesha, and then the door is closed behind me. She takes a seat, and then pats the spot next to her and smiles up at me. I smile back in return, and then ask for a moment, and she nods. As she waits for me to sit down, I take the time to try and figure out where to put my wings, since getting comfortable with them has always been a bit of a struggle for me. Alesha waits patiently as I get ready, and then I sit down next to her and offer a kind smile, after I thank her for the wait.
She nods, and then the two of us sit in silence for a little bit as we think about what to talk about. It's a comfortable silence, and I'm happy she's here with me and not anyone else. As I sit with her, I wonder if it would be okay to ask her more questions about what her family is like, or if that would be something a little too intrusive. Even if she was the one who had brought it up to tell me earlier, I wanted to make sure she was okay with it, so I decided to wait until she brought it up again to talk to her about it.
" Thank you for being so understanding earlier," she says, and then I look up at her, and then Alesha smiles softly and rubs her arm. I'm about to tell her it isn't a problem, but she keeps speaking. Talking about her family isn't easy for her, so she speaks slowly , and in a soft voice. I can tell if she spoke any louder than she would break down crying again, and she's trying to control herself right now.
" Of course," I tell her simply, not knowing what else to say. " I miss my family everyday, and they're just at home. I couldn't imagine losing them the way you did," I tell her sincerely, hoping say that makes things better instead of worse for her. She nods and then the two of us go back to sitting in silence again, this time a little more awkward than it had been before with the weight of the conversation topic we seemed to have chosen for our time here in the closet. I hum softly to myself as Alesha sits in the closet with me, neither of us wanting to break the silence.
" It's just that not everyone else was as kind to me about it," she admits and then I look up at her. I notice her voice is even softer this time, and what she's about to tell me is even more emotional for her to mention, and so I sit patiently and allow her to tell me what it is in her own time. " The other people I told about this all told me to get over it," she admits, and then tears enter her eyes.
Reaching over, I pull her close to me for a hug. She smiles softly, and then holds me close to her, and then I smile and I manage to spread my wings a little more in the closet, and then I wrap my wings around her as well. It was something my mother always used to do for me, and it made me happy and feel more comfortable, and I hope it does the same for Alesha. She lets out a sigh of happiness and safety, so I smile when I realize I was able to comfort her.
Using a little bit of my Semblance, I check in on her emotions, and then I smile when I do. There might be a little bit of sadness in their still from the mention of her family, but she clearly is feeling better, happy and safe in my arms. I'm glad that I was able to comfort her and help her. It was my favorite thing in the world to do, but it meant even more for me when I realized that I was able to comfort Alesha. It made me smile even more. Comforting her felt even better than when I comforted most other people for some reason.
" Thank you so much for being here Emma," she says with a smile on her face, and then she thinks about it for a little bit. " When you took me to dinner that one time we got interrupted. When we get out of here, do you want to go to dinner again?" I nod and then smile with the idea of going to a dinner with her, and then I notice Alesha blushing a little bit, and then I look at her a little confused and wonder what she's going to ask or say. " Not as a thanks this time, but as a date."
I can't help but have a big smile appear on my face. It takes me a few moments to be able to say something, but then Alesha worries when I take too long to answer her question. Not wanting her to worry, I then nod quickly. " I would love to do that," I tell her, and then I smile and reach to hold her hand, which she lets me with a huge smile on her face, and then the two of us sit in a comfortable silence.
For a few moments, I wonder how much time we have left before the closet door opens, and then I nod and look at her. " If you don't mind, I'm going to kiss you," I tell her, and then I begin to lean in for a kiss. To my happiness, she doesn't stop me, and then leans in and the two of us begin to meet in a passionate kiss with each other, and then I hold her close to me with my wings as we continue to kiss as a feeling of happiness goes through me.

Weiss pulls away from the kiss after a few moments, and then I smile at her. She smiles back breathlessly, and then I smile and sit back in the closet. " Well that was something," I tell her eventually, and then she nods rapidly with a blush on her face. I smile at this, and then wait for her to gather her thoughts fully.
" Did I do okay," she asks, and then I nod. She doesn't see me nod, but she continues to talk rapidly. " It was my first kiss, so I hope I did a good job with it, I just wanted to kiss you and I hope it was good," she finishes eventually, and then I nod again and she lets out a sigh of relief, and then I chuckle at this, knowing exactly she feels right now, remembering how overwhelming my first kiss ages ago had been.
" You did amazing Weiss," I tell her, and then she smiles. I think for a little bit, and then she asks me if it was my first kiss as well, and then I shake my head. She pouts a little bit about this, and then I smile and kiss her forehead on impulse to comfort her. " It was my first with someone who mattered," I tell her, and then she nods and smiles again.
The two of us continue to sit in the closet for a little bit, and then I look at Weiss and watch as she thinks for a few moments about what she can do or say about it. " Should we tell your sisters we're together now," she asks, and then I shake my head as I think myself. " Are you embarrassed of me," she asks hurt when I mention this.
" No, no nothing like that," I assure her, and then she looks at me, wondering why I don't want to tell my sisters about me and her. " I just don't want the two of them to be the first to know about us. There's someone else I think should know about us first, the very first person to think we would be good together."
" Who," asks Weiss as she thinks about who possibly could have known about the two of us fighting, but still having romantic chemistry. I then smile even more when I think about who I want to tell it to, and how happy they'll be to know me and Weiss are together, and that I have someone.
" My Auntie Azure," I tell her, and then I smile at the thought of being able to see her again. It had been too long since I had the chance, and I know she missed me too and would want to see me again. Weiss nods, and then holds my hand until the door of the closet open. When we see Ruby and Yang, Weiss and I nod and then stand up, and go back to pretending to dislike each other.
Once the two of us get out the door, I smile at her and then take her hand in mine and the two of us start to walk down to see my Aunt Azure.

I sit in the closet with Nora, and the two of us go back to trying to finish our arm wrestling match. Both of us are pretty evenly matched, and then I notice she seems to be getting stronger, and then I look over to see she stuck a fork in the power outlet, and seems to be absorbing the electricity from it, and then I chuckle and roll my eyes. She sticks out her tongue at me, and then smiles.
" Sooooo," begins Nora, and then I look at her, wondering where she's going with this, and then she begins to speak quickly, but I manage to keep up with her as she talks luckily, and then I smile at this. " Do you have a girlfriend? I mean obviously you had your feelings for Coco, but I mean you have a lot of fangirls who want to date you, I mean a lot a lot, and I was wondering if you were dating any of them."
I chuckle and then shake my head at her question. " Nope," I tell her, and then she looks at me surprised. " I'm still single," I clarify for her, and then she nods. I think about it for a little bit more, and then I look at her. " What about you? You and Ren seem pretty close." When I ask this, she shakes her head rapidly at this.
" Nope. He's my best friend, but we're not together together," she says, still speaking quickly, almost like she's nervous about something, and I wonder what it is. Still, I chuckle at seeing Nora like this. " Cause that would just be weird," she says eventually when she finishes explaining that she and Ren aren't a couple.
I nod and then go back to arm wrestling with her, but she seems to be a little on edge about something. Comforting people has never been something I'm good at, and I don't have a lot of emotional intelligence, and so I wait for her to tell me what's wrong, if she even nods and then she looks up at me. " I was waiting and hoping for you to make the first move, but I guess I'm going to have to be the one who does it," she says eventually, and then I look up at her wondering what she means.
She then places her hands on either side of my face, and then pulls me into a deep kiss. I then smile and kiss her back and hold her close to me as the two of us kiss each other deeply and passionately, never wanting this kiss to end as I hold her close to me as we continue to kiss.
