Idgie Threadgoode / Ruth Jamison PG AU femslash

XXX

Everybody who lived at Threadgoodes', understood very well that Ruth does not want to go to home.

Ruth wanted, more than anything, to embrace Idgie very tightly and never let her to go. She did not want to leave Idgie. Ruth fell in love and the feeling was mutual. The girl wanted to let go to Hell (if her father preacher would know about it, what could happen!) her future marriage and stay with dearest person in the world.

Imogene Threadgoode or Idgie, for short, could not imagine her beloved Ruth will be able to cross out happened things and leave her. What is it for? For marry a man. Do not make me laugh. She and marry a man? You can't fight the nature!

Parents Threadgoode asked Ruth not to go. They knew what Ruth is the only one Idgie heeds.

Ruth wanted to be like everybody. She wanted to marry a man not because she loves him, but because she needs to. A woman should marry a man, period. She must not to be an exception.

Ruth woke up at night often, and she cried, so her shoulders were shaking with sobs.

Ruth has stopped to cry. She started to cogitate out loud about her own feelings. According to alarm clock, it was 5 A.M., so the girl did not fear that somebody can hear her.

"I wanted to be a good girl my whole life. I could not imagine even that I shall not marry a man. I should. It is necessary. I must to give a damn to own feelings and marry a man. No matter that I shall not be as happy as I could be. No matter that the person I love more than anything in the world is Idgie Threadgoode, but not... Idgie!"

Ruth brushed away a tear that had fallen on her cheek and pulled herself together.

Few seconds later, she heard somebody is calling her. It was not 'somebody' but her dear Idgie. She was sitting on a branch of the chinaberry tree and she could easily get into Miss Jemison's room if Ruth opens the window.

Ruth did just that.

"I've heard everything. It useless to disavow." Idgie was sitting on the bed and was looking at Ruth.

"Everything, really?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"I should..." The girl tried to reason with herself. She wanted to fell nothing when she's looking at Idgie... But it was impossibly.

"Words of a schoolgirl, who try to lie why she has not learnt a lesson, look more plausibly than yours. Dammit, I'll finish the school for your sake. I need only one more year."

In that time, Idgie put the boots off.

"What do you going to do?" Ruth Jemison interested.

"Nothing especially. Simply... if I'll not be here, Miss Jemison will be able to leave her beloved one."

Ruth, for the first time in her life, was not alone in her bed, in fact, she was together with a girl... she was in love with mutually.

"Will you marry "What-Is-His-Name"?"

"I shall not marry "What-Is-His-Name" Frank Bennett." Ruth said final decision. I don't want to regret about years lived in vain. I want to be with you, Idgie Threadgoode.

Idgie wanted this minute to remain in their memory forever.

Imogene has not blushed anymore when she was looking at Ruth. It seemed to her now that something very fragile and precious is in her hands and she should not, in any case, lose it or even many, many times worse - break. And that's when Idgie did what she would do sooner or later. She kissed Ruth. No, it was not a plain kiss on a check which Idgie got from Ruth when it was Miss Jemison's birthday. Idgie kissed Ruth right on the lips.

Understandably, such kiss was first one for a preacher's daughter. But it was Miss Threadgoode's first time too.

"No... I dreamed it all." Ruth said when she came off Idgie's lips.

"Is not this dream too beautiful, dear?"

"No... It is impossibly. My beloved girl kissed me right on the lips at 6 A.M. and I was agreeing?"

"Nonsense, you'll use to it. I'm sure you would not feel anything similar with him."

"Of course, no. You are wonder, Idgie Threadgoode, my bee charmer."

"Yeah, your. Forever."

"What people could do for love's sake? For beloved one, Ruth Jamison, Imogene Threadgoode has gone to school last school year and became a wee bit smarter."
