Something lit up in Elide’s eyes and she nodded, “That might actually work. Good idea!”
Something lit up in Elide’s eyes and she nodded, “That might actually work. Good idea!”
For the first time since she’d heard Jane’s news, Phoebe grinned. “Perfect. But me and Jane should clear out before Damian gets home.”
“He won’t be home until like, nine-ish.” Elide replied, shrugging a shoulder.
Phoebe relaxed back against the couch. “Thanks, Elide.”
Jane spoke up. “What happened with Matt?”
Elide frowned a little, “He uh… just touch me inappropriately is all.”
Anger flared up in both girls’ eyes. “He did what??” Disgust dripped from Jane’s voice. “I’m going to kill him.”
"Jane, it's fine," Elide gave her a grateful smile before it dropped and she said quietly, "It's nothing I'm not used to anyway…"
Both girls responded by wrapping thejr arms around her in a huge hug. “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry—“ Phoebe whispered fiercely, gripping Elide tightly.
Elide hugged them both back, "You don't have to be sorry, Phoebe…" She whispered.
Phoebe only squeezed her tighter before pulling away. “I’m sorry anyways.”
Elide rubbed at her neck and swallowed, giving Phoebe a small smile, “Th-Thanks…”
Phoebe tried her best to smile back, feeling a pang deep in her chest. "What- what do you guys want to do?" she asked in an attempt to lighten the mood.
Elide shrugged, “We could watch a movie? I can do popcorn and stuff.”
Jane nodded, copying Phoebe and trying for a smile. "Sure, that sounds like a good idea. We can help with popcorn, if you need. What movies do you like?" It was clear from the slight tremor in her voice that shew as still not quite over what had happened.
“Anything really,” Elide said, flicking on the TV and changing it to Netflix, “Pick what you want, I’ll do the popcorn.”
"Sure." Phoebe gave her a grateful smile, picking up the remote and shifting slightly when Jane moved to rest her head on her shoulder (btw it's 100% platonic, they have a very platonic physically affectionate relationship, I have the same with a bunch of my friends).
(Me too)
Elide nodded, standing and heading to the kitchen. She searched the cupboards until she found the popcorn and placed it in the microwave, enjoying the sound of the constant pop, pop, pop.
After flipping through a bunch of movies, Phoebe and Jane settled on Forest Gump, Jane sighing slowly. "It just seems so surreal…" she murmured. Phoebe nodded, biting down on her lip. "Yeah. "
Elide sighed and emptied the popcorn into bowl in front of her. She blinked a few times before grabbing the bowl and heading back to her friends.
"Hey," Phoebe greeted quietly when Elide re-entered the room, tugging her down on the couch next to her and pulling her close. "Thanks, Elide."
“It’s no problem…” Elide replied, placing the bowl in the middle of the three of them. She subtly curled into Phoebe a little.
Jane 'bent down to tie her shoelace', giving Phoebe the chance to whisper something into Elide's ear. "Jane knows about me, she's totally fine with it, don't worry. I get if you still want to keep this quiet from her, though."
Elide released a breath she didn’t know she was holding, “I don’t care if she knows,” But then a thought dawned on her, “What- what is this?”
Jane 'started tying her other shoelace.' Phoebe bit her lip, nose brushing against Elide's temple. "Whatever you want it to be. I'm comfortable with whatever you are."
“Me too,” Elide whispered, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.
