A/N: I started writing this after season 2 ep 4 because of all the feels. This is just a little drabble of complete fluff because I think we all need a little happiness in our lives sometimes lol.
"Hey Carm?" Laura whispered, facing Carmilla in their shared bed.
"Yeah?"
"I-" Carmilla listened to the shorter girl sigh, searching for her face in the darkness. "I'm sorry." Carmilla furrowed her eyebrows, scooting closer to the girl lying beside her.
"Sorry for what?" Carmilla cupped Laura's face, staring into those big brown eyes, barely illuminated by the moonlight seeping through the blinds.
"I'm sorry for making you feel like this- us- isn't real." Carmilla started to interrupt but stopped when Laura put a finger over her lips. "What you were saying earlier, about me only liking you for saving me- us.."
"It's fine Laura," Carmilla shook her head, slowly backing away.
"No," Laura pulled her back, cupping her face. "It's not fine. I need you to know that you saving me had nothing to do with how I feel about you." Carmilla looked into Laura's eyes, waiting patiently for her to continue. "I- even before that, there was something about you that just drew me in, you know?"
Carmilla furrowed her brows. "I guess?" She grabbed Laura's hands and held them between the two of them.
"I mean, sure you annoyed the hell and Hogwarts out of me, but there was this underlying truth to you… Everything you did, I know you didn't do it to spite me. You did it trying to drive me away in order to do what you thought was right. Then, when I found out about the whole I'm a vampire with an evil mother that's trying to sacrifice you and your friends thing, you.. changed." Carmilla nodded and tried to look away. Laura brushed the hair out of Carmilla's eyes and moved close enough to touch Carmilla's nose with her own. "You've showed me the real you, and-" Laura paused and took a deep breath. "Carm, I love you so much."
Carmilla's breath hitched as she stared into Laura's eyes. She blinked furiously, willing the tears not to fall.
"Shit, Carm, I'm sorry I didn't-"
"Shh," Carmilla whispered, pulling Laura in for a quick kiss. "Stop apologizing. I'm just really- overwhelmed with emotion right now.." Carmilla rolled her eyes at herself. What a lovesick sap I've become. Laura continued to stare into Carmilla's eyes with a worried, confused, and slightly anxious look. Carmilla pulled her in for another kiss, stopping when Laura circled her lips with her tongue. "I love you too, you know."
Laura grinned and kissed the last tear on Carmilla's face, pulling her into a hug. She felt Carmilla contently sigh into her neck. She kissed Carmilla's shoulders before closing her eyes. Through the fear, battles, and arguments the past few months, this is what became of it all. The feeling of Carm against her skin, slowly breathing in and out, confessing things she'd never confess to anyone else. It was all worth it.
A/N: So, I'm still getting into the swing of writing for fun rather than dreadful assignments lol. You can tell me what you think in the reviews if you want. I've got a ton of starts to fics so I'm going to try to finish one (and make them longer/better than this). Thanks for reading!(;
