Cosmo and Wanda are swamped with homework for fairy academy, but as their minds are occupied on where they are in their relationship, they decide that work can wait until later... Rated M for fluff and lemon.

It was during the Christmas season when it first happened...

They had been dating for approximately ten months, and were steadily approaching the halfway point through their final year at the fairy academy. Only a few more months to go, and Cosmo and Wanda would be graduates on their way to becoming professional fairy god parents.

And everything had been going so smoothly throughout that time between them. To everyone else around them, they seemed like the happiest couple alive. They were always together, and they always seemed to be smiling or laughing, and generally enjoying each other's company. They seemed like they were practically made for each other. And when their audience thought just that, Cosmo and Wanda were inclined to agree.

They were right. And they were happy.

Cosmo believed he was in paradise around Wanda. She was so easy to act around, and he found that by each passing day, he had opened himself to her more and more. Each day she would endure his failures and shortcomings, and she would accept him as a whole. Sometimes she'd even correct him, and throughout it all she would consistently stay by his side. There were no words for how grateful he was for this. Never had he been so accepted into someone's life before. Never had he felt so much freedom in someone else's presence. Wanda was his best friend, his most important person, and when it came right down to it, he believed that she was honestly his soul mate.

And unbeknownst to him, Wanda felt the exact same way about Cosmo. All throughout her life, she felt as if she was an outcast in the large group of friends she had. Wanda was a pretty girl, she'd grab the attention of guys and was always be one to turn heads. She'd always be invited to parties, to dates, to any activities regarding her extensive extra curriculum groups... so why, she occasionally wondered, did she constantly feel so left out and alone?

Then Wanda knew, and she would then acknowledge that she'd always known the answer.

It was because she was always on a different wave length with the rest of the crowd. They'd talk about something, laugh about something and she'd have to force herself to have a good time with them. She never really felt as if she belonged among them. No one ever clicked with her, no one seemed to enjoy her as a person. She was a compassionate person, thinking of others before herself, so she was constantly feeling used and pushed around. Wanda would listen to others, become background decoration in her group of friends, but no one would listen to her. She was completely alone, and abandoned by her own peers.

Then, she met Cosmo. And she felt that she finally had a voice.

He was her perfect match in all sense of the word, and she was so grateful for this. They were almost completely in tune with each other. The jokes they'd share would never fail to make each other laugh, their humour was silly and a little dated but they didn't care. They both acted like two big goofy kids in big kids bodies, and it made them so irrevocably happy.

And Wanda felt so wanted by him. Cosmo would always show her how much he'd missed her, even after a day, and sometimes, after a few hours apart. Wanda would notice the loving way he looked at her, and the caring things he'd do for her... she felt like the luckiest girl in the world to have someone as sweet and generous as him in her life.

But it wasn't always paradise.

Although they had their odd little spats, it was never too serious. It would be completely forgotten after five minutes when it came down to it, and they didn't feel inclined to be annoyed with each other for long. After a short time apart, that was all it took before they were their old selves again, as if nothing had happened between them in the first place.

Sometimes Cosmo would do something stupid and irritate Wanda, but after one look at his apologetic face, and after noticing how his bottom lip would quiver and his eyes would water from the tears welling up in them, he would have completely melted away any hard feelings Wanda felt about him. And whenever Wanda dismissed Cosmo or quipped something he didn't like, she'd sincerely tell him how sorry she was. Wanda's eyes would grow soft and sincere as she would take his hands and apologise to him over and over again. That was all it took for Cosmo to only grin back at her, instantly breaking the sorrowful mood between them and would bring back their high spirits in no time at all. They were a phenomenal team.

And they knew that they were becoming closer as the days went by. Wanda knew that Cosmo was completely at ease around her at that point, and Cosmo acknowledged how comfortable Wanda was becoming with him. They were typical teenagers in love, starting out with light-hearted and innocent intentions. From the simple hold of a hand, their faces would become so overcome with red hot flushes of embarrassment. Wanda would bravely take him in his arms while Cosmo would swallow his nerves and whisper all his thoughts of her in her ear, and for a while they were content with how sweet their relationship had suddenly settled into.

However, that was until it all turned on its head, and without either of them knowing how it came to it, they'd inadvertently and intensely become more passionate and flirtatious with each other. Gone were the faint trembles Wanda would get when she clutched at his arm, and gone were Cosmo's frantic indecisions to take a hold of her hand and lace them through his fingers. They were so comfortable, so incredibly trusting of one another, that they found one day that they could hold each other without a second thought, when holding each other's hands became impulsive, and they thought nothing of the way they'd leave a lingering kiss on their lips when parting ways. They'd clearly gone past the point of furious blushes and modest embraces.

They had moved on to the point of becoming used to the feeling of their wandering fingers on their skins, the feeling of entangling their hands through the mess of their hair and hot breath on their necks, the inviting sensation of capturing their lips together and pushing them apart, and furthering their kiss to near ethereal heights never felt before as they dared to venture the true extent of their devotion for one another. Yet, they were beginning to feel that they had only scratched the surface.

And so, after all that time together, and after the realisation that this steady and limited physical routine was beginning to feel somewhat monotonous, they simultaneously began to wonder the same thing to themselves...

The question that plagued their minds, on one particular quiet snowy day during the festive season, was prominently this:

Where do we go from here?
