neva looked shocked. " i.. im sorry.. i dont really know how to put this.. i dont swing that way.." she said softly

Liam flushed. "Ah. Well, thank you for your time." He didn't seem too hurt, and he was pleasant about her rejection.
neva nodded, looking up to not see farah. "?"
Once Liam left, Neva only had a few seconds to herself before Farah appeared at her side.
"What did Professor Pelskey want?" she murmured quietly.
(Neva only says here that he asked her out, not that she declined him. It's important that happens later)
" he asked me out.." she said a little stumped still.
Who knew four words could set a person off so quickly, especially when that person was the collected and composed Farah Dowling. "Oh…" she said in an emotionless tone. She took a sip from her drink again and subconsciously gripped her glass a bit tighter.
" hey, are you alright?" she asked softly, looking to farah.
Farah nodded, not trusting herself to speak until she finished her drink. "Yes, just feeling a bit tired now that you mention it. I might turn in early."
"oh. ahm.. okay night" she said softly. neva watched as farah walked away, eventually she got bored without farah. neva had decided to head to the office to catch up on work. and thats when she seen her "farah? i thought you went to bed?"
Farah turned at the sound of someone speaking to her from the doorway. "Oh. Neva." As she turned, a glass was visible in her hand with a clear liquid that definitely wasn't water. "What are you doing here?"
" i came back to work. but i could ask you the same question." she said a little pointedly
Farah took another lingering sip from her drink. "I thought…" She shook her head, sighed, and placed her glass down on the table before her. "I thought it would be better if I weren’t there.”
"why? you make everything better!" she said and went up to farah " whats your problem,"
Farah inhaled sharply. "I figured it would be better for you and Professor Pelskey to get to know each other if I wasn't there to disrupt you."
" what do you mean? its this about him asking me out?!" she asked
Farah sighed. "Like I said earlier, I don't want myself or this mentorship to keep you from better things."
" what better things do i have? im studing under the great farah. a dream come true for me!" she said as tears stuck her eyes " nothings better then you.." she said silently
Farah took Neva’s hand slowly and pulled her down so she was sitting beside her. “I didn’t mean just career-wise,” she murmured.
(Now she can tell Farah she declined Liam)
" yeah well neither did i.. and btw, i declined him." she said and kept her hand in farahs, flustering lightly
Farah tried not to show her surprise at the discovery. “Oh?”
" yeah, i told him i dont swing that way " she laughed a bit
Farah’s expression turned serious. “You didn’t say that as a empty excuse, did you?” she asked quietly.
" no, i really dont swing that way. " she said and looked at farah. " im into girls..' she mumbled carelessly
Farah trembled as she lifted her hand to the side of Neva's face. Her fingers brushed one of the curled pieces of Neva's hair back behind her ear. "I see," she whispered.
neva blush darkened. she locked her eyes with farahs, and whether it was the alcohol talking or her mind was in a mood, she leaned closer.
